About Our Blog

Thanks for visiting! I created this blog to share updates on my family and how grateful we are for all the blessings the Lord has given us. I am happily married and the busy working mommy of two very active little boys. We enjoy raising our family and making memories together. I blog about the ordinary adventures of family life and my many other mommy-interests.

Mo-Mo and Other Things He Loves

Brendan loves Mo-Mo, Elmo that is.
James never really got into Elmo, but Brendan is a HUGE fan! But he calls him Mo-Mo. We have Mo-Mo toys, Mo-Mo books, Mo-Mo cups, a Mo-Mo shirt. I think many more Mo-Mo items will be coming soon and I am predicting he will want to be Mo-Mo for Halloween. I took these pictures of my sweet B and his Elmo last week when he was under the weather. Nothing could cheer him up but his favorite furry red monster.








Other than Mo-Mo, Brendan is really into....
- pointing out and naming every part of your face and sort of grabbing your hair when he tells you about your hair
- repeating most words you say and saying short little sentences
- dancing and clapping to ANY music he hears
- climbing up the ladder to go down the slide all my himself (!)
- feeding Cheesecake most of his dinner and throwing the rest on the floor
- brushing his teeth
- requesting Go, Diego Go
- Toy Story...he even says "To Infinity and Beyond"
- reading books, especially Color Theater, Good Night Moon and Elmo has a Babysitter
- fire trucks, airplanes, buses
- watering our garden
- waving a bubble wand around yelling BUBBLES at the top of his lungs
- screaming whenever James bosses him around or takes his stuff, which is a lot of the time
- following his big brother around and playing with him which is the rest of the time
- finding shapes and pointing them out, especially stars
- leaning up against you to give you a "hug"
- Trit trot to Boston (riding on someone's knee to this little rhyme that my dad did when I was a kid)
- playing with my phone to look at pictures of himself
- laughing hysterically at anything and everything and making everyone around him crack up, even James
- his Mommy (contented sigh :-))

About Our Family

In a nutshell, we're a family that is all about having fun and spending time together. Our family is made up of Daniel, Lauren, James and Brendan. We share our home with our orange tabby Tucker and our lab-mix Cheesecake. We celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in December 2010. . We thank God for all the blessings he has given us and never forget we have been given amazing gifts in our children. We love how blogs let us stay connected with family and friends. Thanks for stopping by to check out what is new with us!
