A Boy and his cat....

Joey loves my Jenny. Pure and simple. He even walks with her, side by side. Pretty impressive, if I tried that my legs would surely malfunction and the cat would be laughing. Notice the high tech child safety lock? Yup, he broke every last one, but strapping tape works. Go figure.


A Serious Elephant...

Matty takes being an elephant very seriously, he takes a moment to get into character. He even trumpeted then he saw mommy had gotten out the camera. He is a smart cookie, he knows a future blackmail photograph was in the making.



Playgrounds...

A touch of spring is here... and off to the playground for us. I could spend hours taking photos on the playground... oh wait a minute, I do! I think my neighbors think I am a little kooky. hehhe hate to disappoint them so I won't ;-)

Lack of Track

is NOT a problem. To say Joey is obsessed by ALL that is Thomas is putting it lightly. We even have traction engines. Yup, they don't need tracks, Matty told me so.


This is a typical Matty moment, he starts talking by 6:30 am and does NOT stop until he falls asleep. His newest desire is an IPOD, he is four. He calls it The Machine. His daddy has the machine, his mommy does not. I am thinking my coolness is now in question, I must get one. By the way of the 1000s of songs on daddy's pod he discovered and loves to sing on the top of his lungs (on key) Queen's We Will Rock You. Oye. Love this boy. Word.

A Flurry of Photos...

Just a few photos of the many I've taken and not had time to upload. I hope to do some more tomorrow. Bad blogger am I! Hope you enjoy and there is a most adorable baby picture in this post towards the bottom. Cruel to make you look through all of them to find it I know.
My boys love this horse, excuse me, horsie! He reminds me of the mechanical horse my mother would let me ride in front of the old Zayre's Department Store when I was a toddler. I love that my sons will have this memory so similar to mine. A bit of nostalgia in front of our super market. Good times.



I love the colors or ripe peppers... yellows and reds. It almost makes grocery shopping fun. Almost.




Blue Jeans... well, I live in them and I adore them. Andy wishes I would remember to wear skirts. He thinks I am forgetful. I am not. Enough said.


I never feel like a Proper Bostonian... so this magazine is for me :-)



I just loved this cross walk... so I thought I would share :-)




I loved the reflection of the older building in the window panes of the newer building. The image just struck me.



One of the reasons I was/am going to Boston frequently... so tiny and so very meaningful. He is one of two blessings. My dear friends are now a family of four, J and T greeted the world at 32 weeks. They are almost two weeks old now. Yahoooooooo! Auntie Anne is very much in love with these two adorable newly minted people.




A flurry of photos that I have taken for many days now and haven't posted until now... this tower just grabbed my attention on one of my trips into Boston. It's varying subtle shades and how it seemingly is stirring the clouds. It is amongst the hospitals... which makes me wonder if it is an incinerator. I would like to think someone was trying to touch the face of Heaven.

A Week of PODs...

Day 60 of 365 Hard to resist... Matty adores home made popcorn. Joey and I agree. Fun times are had just watching the corn pop. Both boys like the sounds and the show. Hehe I guess we are country bumpkins if this is our fun.

Day 59 out of 365... Weird. Yes, it never fails everyone is on a different page when reading together. The truly weird part is that they are taking a moment when they are not running around ;-) They are so serious and so very cute.

Day 58 of 365 These are the solution for a grey day... Joey's is the pig and Matty's is the fish. The color choices were entirely their own as was the painting. I love :-)

Day 57 of 365... My seniors painted the pieces to the quilt block... next time they will draw on it with oil pastels and then I will use gel medium to attach it to a canvas... by the way the background is a plastic table cloth.

Day 56 of 365 This is a photo of the prep for my seniors art group. Yes, no hands other than mine have touched it. Color: None. This will be the beginning of a paper quilt that later will be put on canvas. Very blah without the artists.

Day 55 of 365... these flowers are so hardy they survived a week of curious boy hands. This photo I have to admit was requested by the model. He kept saying "cheese Mommy" so I grabbed the camera. Love that smile.

Day 54 of 365
My sweet Matty is a lover of beauty... and the color yellow. There are arches in the photo as well.
Sorry for the delay in posting, this past week has been a very busy one. I'll try to catch up and post this weeks photos on Sunday.
