Mason's on the move...

Mason has started the "army crawl" He pulled himself around all weekend! If he sees something across the room - he'll squirm his way to get it! Oh lord - time to baby proof the house again! He's changing all the time! He's growing up way too quickly! He's now holding his own bottle (YAY!!) and he's cutting his top two teeth.

Last weekend we headed to North Conway for a mini vacation (in the Minivan...which BTW - I LOVE! HA, I can't believe I just admitted that, but I really do!) It was such a nice time and much needed! We stayed in a hotel where there was a few water slides which Max, and Ray and I :), had a blast going down! Then we went on a hour long train ride...it was beautiful and the foliage was at it's peek! Here are a few pictures~

Some of the beautiful foliage from our train ride and drive through the white mountains...

ONLY IN MAINE...we actually stopped on the side of the road to take a picture of this beauty that was in someone's front yard!!!

And lastly...a picture of the boys that I love...

GO SOX!!

AND HER NAME IS...

WALLY, THE GREEN MONSTER...(She is a '05 Toyota Sienna)

Yes, I did what I said I would never do...I bought a minivan!

As for other photos from this past weekend...here are a few:

Off to North Conway, NH tomorrow afternoon for a mini two day vacation, just the 4 of us!

HAPPY OCTOBER!

It's been a while! We've been busy and unfortunately I haven't been snapping photos! BOOOO! Hopefully this weekend I will be posting a few! We plan on taking the kids to the Cumberland Fairgrounds for a pumpkin lighting contest. Camp Sunshine (great place in Maine that does a host of things for kids with life threatening diseases) does it every year and they are trying to break the Guinness Book of World Records for most pumpkins lit at once. It's something like 33,128, so it should be a perfect opportunity for some really cool photos! We may also try going apple picking, where we'll take a few more cute photos with the nice foliage in the background :)

The kids are great! Max is loving every second of preschool and is counting the days until his 4th Birthday (which isn't until Nov 30th!). He's got it all planned out from the venue, who's coming, the menu and what kind of cake he wants!! Unreal!! So much for the days of throwing together a small gathering and calling it good!

Mason is getting up on all fours so crawling is in his near future! Oh boy! He already manages to roll himself all around the house! He's still a breeze of a kid. He's such a good baby, with such a happy, mellow demeanor!

Ray & I have been running a few 5K's and with every one our times improve! And it's helping with the weight loss, coupled with Weight Watchers! Since I started WW, which I think was on September 1st, I have lost 10.5lbs!! YIPPEE!! It's been tough and I've had to exert a lot of will power but I'm fitting into some of my old clothes and feeling really good! So I've already met my first goal of losing 10-15lbs by Julie's wedding...maybe I'll be 15+ by then! I'm certinaly going to keep on chugging along with what I'm doing...it seems to be working!

Well a few have asked when I am going to post on this so here you go! :) I'll update this weekend with some picture of the kiddos!

Time to hit the treadmill! Check again for photos!
