Piper had a stomach bug most of the weekend, yucky. However, I still got her and Brian a giant cookie to share. Probably not the best idea, but they sure enjoyed it. (Brian actually a little more than Piper:)

Back from Travels and Back to Traveling

Business travel is always good and bad. Good because I like going new places and meeting the people I've been emailing all day. Bad because it's time away from the family.

After almost a week in DC and a week in Vegas, I'm back for a few weeks before we both head down to Orlando a week. I'm going for a work conference (called TechEd if you're interested) and Liz and the girls are joining me. We've been emailing the queen of Disney - Amy Cesario - and she has been extremely helpful in giving us advice on what to do. I also hear we need to check out the Dumbo ride :)

This weekend we are heading out to the Vineyard to spend time with the kids and Liz's folks. I am pushing for a game of disc golf with Harry, and I'm looking forward to finding a large playground for Piper. Maysie continues to grow and smile more and more every day, and Liz dressed her in the same outfit Piper wore for her first trip down to the Vineyard.

We're looking forward to June 1st when we'll host a family BBQ with whoever can make it. I think we'll also combine it with a birthday party for my Dad.

Piper is really 2!

Yesterday Piper's teacher said to me, "Piper is really two"! She continued to say that Piper really like to let people know what she likes and doesn't like to do. And also that Piper enjoys to say no, loudly when she wasn't interested in doing something that was asked of her. I pretended to act surprised.......My sweet little Piper??

I usually find it a bit humorous when I ask her to do something, and she says NEOOOOO!, which is how she sounds with her little accent, that we are still trying to figure out where it came from. Piper is definitely 2, and I love her even more with her cute little attitude she has developed. You go Pipes!

Maysie started daycare

I went back to work today after 3 months of maternity leave. Boy, it went by way too quick. It was so nice spending so much time with both Maysie and Piper as I love my little 2 squirts. I called to check in on her around noon and was told that she wasn't interested in taking the bottle. I went in and she gulped down the whole thing, probably just missing her mom. I spent my lunch break there which was nice. She was fine the rest of the day, and was napping in her crib when I went to get her at the end of the day. Isn't life lovely. We miss the b-dog............:)

Sweet Maysie and Mimi

The girls and I went to Torrington to see my grandparents, aka Mimi and Poppy with my folks. Piper loved giggling with Poppy and Maysie was so content in Mimi's arms. It has been so wonderful living so close to family. Brian couldn't make the trip, as he hd to go to VEGAS! I talked to him tonight as he was checking into the convention and I could here him high fiving people and greeting everyone he walked by. He sounded like a celebrity. Tough job he has! (Miss you Jackie!)

We Miss you Daddy!!!!!

Brian is in DC for a couple of days, so the girls and I have been holding down the fort. Today, Nana came to visit and keep an eye on Piper and Maysie while I painted the front landing and steps. They turned out pretty well, and Nana even talked Piper into wearing pigtails for a little bit. She looked cuter than ever. Thanks for the help Mom.
