Happy Birthday Michelle and Kate!

Ok, I know what you're thinking, "Aren't their birthdays in like July or something?"  yes they are.  However, that doesn't stop me from posting about it now.  We had a fantastic time at cosey beach in East Haven with lots of cupcakes and friends and balloons.  I love the beach.  It's probably my #1 favorite place to take kids during the summer, so when Michelle said she wanted her party at the beach it was a no brainer.  No cleaning the house, no having to plan a million silly games that no one wants to play, No worrying about if there will be too many kids to fit in the house.  I now want to have all of our birthday parties there.  It truly was a fabulous day!

 Michelle and Kate.  They are such sweet sisters.  Kate has a rocking doo.  Her hair is so funny.  I love it!
 Kate loves to eat sand.  I kept having to get it out of her mouth. 
The kids jumping the waves! 

Reunion pictures

So I finally got the pictures back from our reunion and just wanted to post a few. The new picture in our header is from that photo shoot as well. Like I said before, we just don't do serious very well.
