Still in Ocean City

I haven't posted in a while! We have been busy working on our new house. Lots of paint, new flooring, etc. It's been stressful trying to get it all done while still living in Ocean City. Andrew has been spending some nights at the new house on an air mattress, pondering how lonely it would be to live there without us! We can't wait to move in...hopefully by the end of July. Will post pics soon. xoxo

Good Morning Sunshine

Happy, cozy, cuddling children (Don't mind the bed head and puffy eyes)

Spring Beach Days

Spring & Easter in Ocean City

We are settled in Ocean City as our temporary living situation. Here are the boys blowing milk bubbles in their cereal.


We took the boys to the Hamilton Mall for pictures with the Easter Bunny. They also rode the carousel which they adore! Doesn't it look like I am wearing a wig here? I dyed my hair darker...I still don't know if I like it.





Uncle Dave spent most of Easter weekend with us in OC. We all went to the crazy and crowded Easter egg hunt on Saturday.

Here we are at Mom-Mom Dede's and Pop-Pop's house for Easter dinner. The boys had another egg hunt in the yard and Daniel played with this new train all day!



Dean & her girls stopped by for lunch and a play date the following Monday. Here are Ben, Dan, Ellie & Jane:

What's New Around Here

1. Our house is UNDER CONTRACT! We are out of attorney review, appraisal & home inspection have been done. We should be out of our house by the end of this month or early April. Andrew's parents are so kind... they are letting us live in their Ocean City home for a few months while we look for a new house here in Point Pleasant.
Here are some pictures of a day trip we took to Ocean City on a cold February day to check things out and give the boys a change of scenery. Nicole & her girls, Jane and Clara, stopped by. The boys are learning to kiss girls these days...





2. Mommy turned 33! We had a visit from Christine, Kevin, Grandmom & Grandpop plus doggies. Yes, that is mom licking the ice cream scoop and Ben licking the table...







3. Mommy & her friend Lauren hosted their first Petite Tea party. It went well. Here are some pictures from the party...

Ocean City

What do you do on a beach vacation when everyday is cloudy, windy and/or rainy?

You go to the boardwalk every day &/or night and eat massive amounts of junk food including: ice cream, cotton candy, funnel cake, pizza, fudge, fries & caramel corn.

You go on ride...

after ride.


You drive the surrey carts early in the morning just to watch your kids giggle and ring the bell continuously.




You go on more rides...
at Wonderland Pier...
and Playland.



You go to Storybook Land for the day...

and (you guessed it!) go on more rides.



You let your kids have free reign of the park because everyone else is in school and the place is empty.







You play dress up.




And you give your children rides around the house in a large beach cooler (which never made it to the beach). Yes, we got creative, especially on Friday when we were literally stuck inside the house because our street was flooded.

We still had a great time just being together. The boys loved having their Daddy around everyday. It was nice to have a change of scenery and change of pace for a week.

Now, back to reality and back to work!
