HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Chandler was R2D2, Mikey was C3PO, and Fiona was Princess Leia this year


We got started early by getting dressed at school for the big day


Walking through the halls


Channy loved showing his friends how his costume worked


Taking pictures with a princess and Batman


Chandler close-up


The costumes survived the whole day!


When we got home it was time to carve pumpkins ... Channy wanted a "batman mouth"


Decorating the new house


Time to get the costumes back on


Princess Leia joins the team


A few sprinkles weren't going to stop these two!


Someone is going to have to carry R2D2 down the steps


Fiona enjoyed her first trick-or-treating experience


Waiting for candy


Granny got here just in time to join us


This dog didn't know what to make of Mikey and Channy


One more pic before calling it a night


Fiona plays with her one eyed, one horned, flying, purple people eater


Earlier in the month, the boys climbed a giant scarecrow at the farm stand


... and they helped Fiona climb too


Channy scopes out the options at the pumpkin patch


Mikey thinks he found one!


Fiona liked the smaller options


Chandler picked a tall one


All three kids taking a break from picking pumpkins


Fiona got a kick out of seeing her brothers in the pumpkin eyes


Mommy and Fiona


Fooling around


Bobbing for pumpkins


Fiona is all smiles


The boys also went to their first BC Hockey game this month


The hot dogs were the hit of the day

OCTOBER 21, 2013

Catching up on photos taken throughout the summer, including our big move!


That's right, shortly after the boys turned 4 we moved to a new home!

But, first...
 The boys had "Hawaii Week" at preschool ... Mikey didn't look too happy about it.


In June, we had preschool graduation


Chandler gets his diploma from the Principal


Mikey gives him a manly hand shake


Fiona was proud of her boys


Swimming lessons at the Boston Sports Club


The boys had their first visit to the Dentist and learned how to floss!


Luckily our Dentist has twins too, so he knew what to expect!


Fiona started eating real food this summer and was a quick study


Cool dudes out for a ride


For Father's Day, we had an overnight trip on the Cape and saw Plymouth Rock


Mikey scoops up some French Fried Ice Cream


Fiona was excited to try on her new suit for the pool


Just a couple of trouble makers


Learning to golf with daddy


Mikey almost got a hole-in-one!


Back at home, the boys hang on to Fiona


Fiona's half birthday


We couldn't miss the opening of Monsters University!


Waiting patiently for her brothers to finish breakfast


Fooling around at lunch before getting a much needed haircut


Post-cut, looking good!


We had a couple of trips to Grandma's house on Long Island this summer



Testing the waves at Main Beach


Fiona is a future synchronized swimmer


She enjoyed riding in her water car


Swimming with all the cousins


Back home on 7/11 for Free Slurpee Day!


Fiona gets ready for a walk around town


The kids stop at the entrance to Wellesley College ... although they call it Monsters University


Here the boys are at Mommy & Daddy's first apartment


Fiona, kicking back and relaxing



In July, we said "goodbye" to our old house ...


... and "hello" to the new one, complete with a swing set for three!


Fiona couldn't wait for the furniture to arrive


The boys couldn't wait either!



The boys, playing in the new back yard


See-sawing


Daddy playing "Lion" with Fiona


Granny and Grandad were there to help with the move


The new house meant plenty of trips to Target for supplies


The "dudes" return to play in the driveway


Fiona models her new Deloitte shirt for Daddy


Enjoying lunch at the Rainforest Cafe


Holding each other up after some serious playground activity


Another trip to Long Island meant a stop at the Greenport Carousel


Riding the croc in Grandma's pool


No sun for Fiona!



Fiona and great-grandma Nani


The boys watched Daddy visit the batting cages


Grandma and Fiona



Superheros getting ready for bed


Waiting for the car to get fixed


Lunch at the new house with buddy Sebastian ... before we removed the counter



Before we knew it, it was time to go back to school


Ready or not, here they come!



Once again, holding hands on the way in


Chandler starts building right away



Fiona visits with our old neighbor, Mary Anne when dropping the boys off at school


Showing Fiona the preschool playground

Mikey couldn't help but fall asleep in class one day



While the boys go to school, Fiona goes to music class


Ready to sing and dance!





In September, we went back to Boston College for a day, even eating in the cafeteria


Chandler goes all the way to score a touchdown at Alumni Stadium


The boys under the golden eagle


Mikey and Channy recreate the Doug Flutie, Hail Mary, pass


Fiona was all smiles on her first hay ride


Picking, and eating, apples



Fiona is starting to stand up and walk along furniture now


A day-trip to Maine gave the boys (and Liz) a chance to ride a camel!


The boys got a new pet (Leonard the fish) who is sadly not with us anymore


Getting another haircut with Fiona watching every move


Play-date with twins Jake and Ryan


New jeans!


Having fun in the back yard with cousins Gennaro and Johnny
