OH BOY..OR GIRL :-)

Guess who had wood delivered????? Mommy is over the moon with joy, as she was worried with the recession this year wood "wood" (haha) be hard to come by as: 1) people are not cutting trees; and 2) if they are they are keeping the wood in lieu of using oil. So when we saw this trucker on the road, we arranged to have him deliver the wood. Originally he wanted $250 for the whole load, so we said we "wood" (hahah again) take half....he gave us 99.89% of the load for $150........Mommy would have taken it all....but AHEM Daddy intervened.

This was so muc fun to watch the man unload the wood in our sideyard. And yes, those pieces really are THAT big. :-)

Mommy joked to Daddy (and rightfully so), that this man must be good at the "claw" game at the diner (the one where you never win any prizes). Do you see the man ALLLL the way up high in the truck. Not sure if you can see, but he is putting the claw over our wires.

Daddy and Matteo enjoyed the show as well.

And now folks, for the next 2-3 weeks you will be seeing lots upon lots of pictures of wood being cut, split, and being stacked.

Happy Anniversary Oma and Poppi Lou

Matteo's great(in more ways than one) grandparents Oma and Poppi Lou were married 65 years this past Sunday and what better way to celebrate than with family and food?

Matteo is chowing down on the cake in the picture below, but don't worry after 3 mouthfuls of whip cream, he lost interest (much to Mommy's satisfaction).

Man that strawberry is looking delicious :-)

Cleaning Up

With Saturday's near 60 degree weather, what else is Matteo to do but clean up from the nor'easter earlier in the week (that is March weather for you!).

Below is Matteo "shoveling" the snow from the grass (which to be honest it was not in my way)......

and he's taken to piling it on the mulch behind him............ so to recap..he's taking the snow from one cleared area and putting it on another :-)

But I do love the pictures. He is such a fan of green that he insisted on wearing this green shirt today :-) He was in nicer pants but with the warmer weather and the snow melting Mommy had to change his pants 3x(!) as he is a very big fan of puddles.

Knock knock...

who's there?

SIX MONTHS...

six months who?

I'M ENTERING MY SIXTH MONTH OF PREGNANCY...LET ME IN :-)

Congrats to Mommy and a bigger pat on the back to Daddy for the backrubs he's been handing out.

Busy week....

and it's just TUESDAY!

Well first and foremost a very special congratulations to our friends Caleb, Sarah and Greg on the safe and healthy arrival of their new bundle of joy Rory Kate. Sarah, we are so excited for you all and send you our warmest hugs.

Also, a special hats off to our gal Amy, for having successfully nursed Katelyn for over 12 months! Amy once again your selflessness shines through and demonstrates the kind of person you are. So happy to know you and be a part of your life.

Hats off My Dear.

All this excitement and it's only Tuesday.

Chillin'

Matteo is just sitting back, enjoying some quiet time alone while reading a book from Grandma and Gramps.



Mmmmm...... itsn't it the simple things in life :-)

Nor'easter

Well what a total surprise! After having not turned on the radio or TV all weekend, imagine Mommy's surprise when I went to the supermarket for some milk on Sunday and learned we were expecting up to a foot of snow!

When the snow finally did arrive late Sunday/early Monday, so did the wind. Hence Matteo only enjoyed the outdoors for about an hour.

Here is Matteo up to his knees, just trying to get down the driveway.

Rolly polly is about to tip over.....

...augh yes, there he plopped :-) Not just once, and not just twice, but many times.
