First Visit to the ER

Jocelyn fell and bonked her head on the corner of the coffee table yesterday and it left a very small, yet open cut on her forehead. So off to the ER we went. 5hours, and a little glue later, she is as good as new! She was a perfect angel. The doctors and nurses kept saying how she was the "perfect little patient". She didn't cry or complain (even though she missed lunch and wasn't allowed to eat or drink anything in case she needed stitches). She spent a good 1/2 hour putting scraps of paper towel in the garbage can. She then spent another half hour or so putting fake lotion on her toy pig. We had a great Christmas, the girls really cleaned up! They had lots of fun playing with their cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents. We are now in our new house! Lots of room to play now! So things here are good!

My prima ballerinas...

"Where is your heart?"

My computer may have a virus and I'm having problems uploading photos, so this has been the perfect opportunity for me to slack and not update the blog!!! We finally sold our house and are closing on the 24th of November (fingers crossed). But, as we are not closing on our new house until December 10th (again, fingers crossed) we will be moving in with Memere and Pepere for a couple of weeks. The girls will be sleeping in Pepere's office which will be moved down to the basement for awhile. We really appreciate all of the effort and sacrifice involved! The doggies, however, are not welcome at Memere and Pepere's house :( . Sooo, Simon will be living in NH for a couple of weeks with David, Daphne and the kids (I really think he would prefer to be an only dog anyway). Lucy will be staying in Berkley with the Bianchi family. Emmett will be living with Steve's parents for the duration. Hopefully all the table scraps that Grandpa is sure to give him don't increase his waistline too much! He will definitely be in heaven over there though. We are so excited to move into our new home. So much more room!
The girls are growing bigger and more interesting all the time! The talk soooo much. Jocelyn just had a language explosion and is pronouncing things much better than she was. They love their cousins and know all of their names. 2 weeks ago Ellinor turned one (yikes!) and they had such a blast at "Elnnanor"'s party. I think the kitchen set that Memere and Pepere are going to be getting them is going to be a major hit, based on their reaction to Elli's new one. Then last weekend James had his second birthday. I wasn't there, but the girls got to go on a REAL FIRETRUCK! It was a rainy day, but the kids had a blast. Halloween was fun. We visited grandparents and dressed as ballerinas. They had so much fun dancing for everyone!

The Doorway

Here are the girls from Sunday afternoon. They LOVE having that door open. It is even cuter when they are just in diapers, but this was pretty adorable too. Mom W said it looks like they are getting ready for the next showing. We have had a few showings on the house recently, but no offers yet. Keeping fingers crossed though! Tomorrow (well, today actually!) is Pepere's birthday so we will be off celebrating with him tomorrow. Summer is officially over!

Sports Fans

Here are my little Red Sox fans the other day. I love how O looks so concerned for her sister. I can't believe how BIG they are getting! Now its on to Patriots Season!

Labor Day Weekend

What a fun labor day weekend! Sunday we went to the Woodstock Fair in Woodstock Ct. It was VERY crowded and difficult to push the stroller around, but we had fun anyway. J&O got their first taste of fried dough, Del's Lemonade (not fans), corn dogs and cotton candy (not fans of that either). They also had some of Grandpa's french fries. They got to see lots of cows (VERY exciting). They loved the chickens and the bunny rabbits. They weren't too impressed with the piglets, but I'm not convinced they could see them very well. Gramma got them these alligators on a spring and I hung them from the ceiling in the van. Now I get to hear O say "Alligay" all the time. It is adorable. On Monday, Mommy and the girls went shopping in the morning. Then we stopped at Memere and Pepere's house for lunch. After that, Mommy, Daddy, J&O and Emmett all went to Colt State Park (where Mommy and Daddy got engaged) for a picnic! It was so fun. The girls loved going for a long walk in their wagon. They even made a new friend (a little boy who thought it was fun to crash his big wheel into the wagon). The girls sure slept good that night!

Its starting to feel like fall! I can't believe the summer is almost over. J&O now think Memere and Pepere's house is synonymous with "pool". Boy will they get a shock when they aren't allowed to play in the pool anymore! The biting is getting better. They are still biting a bit, but it is definitely improving. We went to doughnuts on Saturday with everyone and it was so funny to see them toddling around the doughnut shop! We are trying to teach some manners and the girls now know how to say "please" and "thank you"!
