These two peas in a pod had a blast together swimming!
Maddie was an absolute love and I just fell more in love with her then ever this weekend!!
Her first official dunk! (and we're both covered in her spit up! how appropriate :) )
just some more of our daily wipe up from my reflux baby! 
can you just tell how smitten I am w/ my newest little girl!?!?!?
is that a look of "where am I" or what?!?!?
she looked great her first time in a bathing suit!
this miss priss was having way to much fun to stop and let me take a picture. Sometimes she just rebels from her mommy always pointing a camera in her face. Can't say as I blame the poor girl! :)
Abigail and Maddie were both equally thrilled to have us taking pictures of the matching hair do's. I love the looks on their faces!! Sorry girls but you looked stupid cute!!!!!
Sweet Uncle Dave helped to get them to smile again! 
I loved sharing the beautiful cold ocean w/ my sweetest baby girl
my darling Bit just loves the beach no matter how cold it was! I love that about her!
Showing mommy how proud she was of her bucket and we can't wait to show it to daddy!!!
we tried to walk out on the pier but didn't get far before we all looked at one another and said "no way!!! too cold!"
I love my wild sister!
"take the picture quick mommy it's too cold to smile!"
My sweet mamma helping warm the baby!
on the hunt
my sweet Hamilton, I could just eat him up!!!
these two have so much in common! It just warms our hearts to see them all play together and love each other. :)
my crazy Bit shedding her shoes
Love my sweet girl!! We had fun sporting our matching new jean jackets :)
Sue with the ultimate aunti look of concern on her face trying so hard to keep Chloe warm
she's quite smitten w/ her new neice too can you tell!?!? 
The girls and I got a much needed break from our snowy city this past weekend when we visited my wild sister Sue and her fam at the beach. We headed east w/ mom and just enjoyed the feeling of getting out of town for a few days. It was a wild weekend w/ all those babies. Noisy but a blast! We started out with a late swim at the local YMCA and Chloe had her first time in a pool. She seemed to love it while it lasted but a dirty diaper kept the swim a short one. :) Saturday we took some long naps to recover from the late swim the night before then headed to the ocean. We absolutely froze but had a blast in the windy sunshine and we all hoped for spring to come soon. Chloe had another first as she got introduced to the beautiful Atlantic for the first time! She was a little chilly to fully appreciate it but it was special to mommy to show it to her. Abigail didn't seem to mind the cold as she carried her purple bucket all over the shore looking for shells. She had brought that bucket across the state so excited to fill it she didn't even mind that the wind chill that had to be in the teens. She got in her own little zone as she looked around and cried when I made her leave but I promised her that we would take the shells home to daddy so they could put them in his fish tank to always have them close by. That made her happy so we could skip hand in hand and catch back up to our fridged family who already left. We headed over to a sea side play area for the kids who forgot once again how cold it really was as they took off their shoes (!!) to climb the park equipment. Sue's one mission was to try to keep sweet Chloe from freezing. I must say I was a little worried about the tiny 4 mo old as well but thankful for mom and sue helping out w/ her so I could enjoy how much Abigail was enjoying the day. Sue's sweet babies were all about the fun day w/ their cousins. Mom just watched in sweet awe at the fun crowd taking it all in as she usually does. We ended the day w/ an early bedtime for all of the little en's and some actual time to catch up w/ my sweet sister. Mom and I left early Sunday and stopped at a good old southern Shoney's breakfast bar and a nice long car ride full of conversation discussing all the fun we had just had together. Great fun and only wish we could have taken my sweet hubby along. He enjoyed a nice quiet house for a few days but I think both he and the cats were glad to have us home noise and all Sunday night! :)
