We had an amazing fall we finally are getting settled in the house. We only got to swim twice before the pool was closed but look forward to lots of time at the pool next year. School started and the kids seem very happy to be back in their own house again. I made a lot of pumpkin bread this fall, which the kids absolutely love!! We also had a very pleasant Halloween, we got invited to a neighborhood Halloween party in our cul-de-sac. Some of the kids in the neighborhood go and eat Chili and the pot luck food and then the dads take the kids out trick-or-treating, while the moms stay and hand out candy. I went along because I love trick-or-treating with the kids. The kids had the BEST costumes ever, Anthony was R2D2(thanks to aunt Jenn and Uncle Leonardo who worked very hard on Anthony and Avabelles costumes). Avabelle was princess Leia and Louie was Yoda. They were so adorable I could have left them in their costumes for a year.
Anthony – My Boy! He started Kindergarten and I think I would have had a hard time, but since he is going again next year because he is so young. He’s a great kid, but doesn’t seem that excited about school. He only goes for 3 hours in the afternoon. I really wanted the morning but they didn’t have any open slots. It turned out to be a great thing because we are not rushed in the morning and get to spend the morning together.
Avabelle – My Girl! I love how positive she is. She is definitely the glass is half full kind of girl. I get to spend alone time with her when big brother goes to school in the afternoon, and little brother is taking a nap. We cuddle and read books sometimes we even take a nap. She is so caring and is always trying to accommodate her brothers, and blurts out about ten random times a day that she loves us. She started preschool and really enjoys it. She enjoys all her friends and her teachers. It’s a great place for her.
Louie – My Baby!! He loves his moms attention and if she is busy doing something not giving him enough he will come up and hang on her legs until she picks him up. He is funny with all his mannerisms everyone caters to him and if we don’t he jumps right in to let us know that we forgot about him. He is very generous with, hugs, kisses and love.
Rita and Tony – We are doing well, with the exception of I got sick for awhile but seem to be doing better. I started going to the gym and have been trying to get there at least three times a week. The kids love the play area at the gym, while I work out so it has been extra motivating. Tony had to go to Jersey for a week in October but is back in my arms again. I love my co captian!
