Fiesta!

I can't even tell you the amount of posts I start, or a least think of starting.

Well here I am hopefully this will get up:0

We had a fiesta last weekend. I am always craving really good Mexican food because it is really hard to come by out here in CT. So we make our own! It was lot's of fun. Only wish I could have had a chance to swing at the pinata.
With good food and good friends you can never go wrong.

We had a blend station for everyone to create their own frozen (virgin of course) drinks. Tacos are my favorite so it had to be. Can't do without homemade chips, salsa and guac these days. We left the Latin theme for dessert and headed down to the fire for a Smores bar. I have been on a smores kick so I had everyone tryout my homemade toasted coconut and vanilla marshmallows with several other combination's of course.

Oh yes, and Matt hung all the lights. Good job Love, they were perfect.

A last minute trip to the Dominican Republic kept us out of the cold the week after Christmas. It was our first time there and it was amazing. One of the best trips ever. We stayed in a place called Casa de Campo. I would definately recommend it and hope I get back again soon!

Loving Fall

Just found this in my posts...

Adjusting

It has been a little interesting, and scary at times, but Samuel is getting used to his "mini me" around.
At first Samuel would often be caught inching his little foot to Eli anticipating to push him away (such as off the bed) but was not successful. In trying to make Eli stop crying he would shove his binki in his face very hard. But over all we are finding balance and Samuel is learning to love his new best friend.

Baby Eli

I can't believe he is finally here! Our baby Elijah arrived October 5. It was such an amazing experience. I was so full of peace, love and gratitude after having him. I feel so blessed.

It is deja vu all the time. He reminds me so much of Samuel. Even though his hair is dark and Samuel has been blond since day one, they are so similar. They have the same look to them. They make the same faces and are very close in size. After Samuel being induced a week late I had no intentions of having Eli early, so when I went into labor 11 days before he was due I didn't take it too seriously at first. At 8lbs 15oz I am so glad he came when he did.

I am the last one who would have guessed I'd have two little boys, but I love it!

Cape Cod

My first time to Cap Cod was a few weeks ago and it was wonderful. I can't wait to go back
