pics from the week

Okay so Laurie has informed me that I am a bad blogger and Easter was a month ago. Lots going on and apparently half my brain is missing, oh well. I will try to do better. Isabella has really started mothering Gabrielle it is really cute, she asks me if she can hold her like a baby thats what she is doing here. We are now proud to say that Isabella is finally about 95% potty trained, had a bit of a backslide with the move but she is doing much better, I think the Hannah Montana big girl underwear worked. Gabrielle is talking a ton, too much if you asked me. Its really cute listening to the girls having a conversation.

Happy Easter

any suggestions????

Okay all, I'm sorry I haven't posted, I was on vacation for a few days up north without my children thanks to my parents. I was by far the most wonderful, restful, relaxing trip that I have ever been on. On the last day of my trip I got bit by a spider and it is killing me. It looks like a golf ball and feels like it, not raised like a golf ball but feels like a golf ball is inside my skin. Its not getting any worse but it has been 5 days and it isnt getting any better. I would post a picture of the bite but it would be a little xrated, it is on my butt. I have no idea how that happened, of all the places to get bit.


My dad is a retired physical education teacher and he was playing soccer with the girls, I think he was getting a little frustrated, telling the girls you don't use your hands in soccer




























the girls coloring, fighting over crayons














mean mommy says if you can't share than no one can color




























This is my grandmother, better known as Mimi, please pray for her, she has been in and out of the hospital but as she says she is a tough old bird. She lives with my aunt and uncle and my aunt and my mom take turns taking care of her. I think Isabella may weigh more than her. Mom said it was like taking care of 3 toddlers on the days she had my grandmother, THANK YOU MOM




























Princess Isabella who calls me Queen mommy




























Christmas Day at Disney














Gabrielle the incredible hulk, my mom got them an easel for Christmas, Gaby decided it would be better to color on her face. Thank God for washable markers

me and the girls

Christmas in Naples

Well christmas number one, spent a couple days with my parents in Naples, took the girls to watch the sunset, yes this is Christmas in Florida. My brother was down from Mass. too. Poor guy wanted some rest and all he heard was "uncle Rob watch me" too funny

Hey grandma read my shirt

Hey grandma are you reading, it says Grandma and Santa,now my list is complete. Also other news finally after 20 months I was allowed to proceed with Gabrielle's readoption, long depressing story but it is behind us now, Gabrielle's readoption hearing was today YIPPEEE, sorry will post picture with the judge when I find my computer cord.

Isabella seems to think she is Hannah Montana, she actually told someone at Walmart today that her name was Hannah Montana, I guess thats better she used to tell people her name was Princess Isabella, boy does she have self esteem issues-NOT!!!
