I LOVE spring… its usually short lived here in New England. So we try and drink it up. We as in me and every other New Englander. We break out the shorts, open the windows, the grocery store sells out of hamburger buns, the lake by our house is PACKED with people walking. Birds are singing and Mike and I look at each other a sigh… and say to each other “Could this be any better” as we sat watching our babes run around!

Right from Kiera’s Coral we swung by Monkey Joe’s to wish Christian a very Happy 5th Birthday!


The kids had a BLAST at Monkey Joe’s. K & P were way too bored in the Toddler Area where I would have been happy to have the play the entire time. They took off into the big jumpers, which was a little scary for this Helicopter mom. ( I know I am such a helicopter mom… hate it, can’t help it) I was freaking out that I couldn’t see them at all times and that they were being stepped on and bounced on. Mike told me to go for a walk! HAHA!

First Dance Class

I am beaming as I write this. Seriously, I can’t wipe the smile off my face. Katy had her first dance class today. Ballet/tap for 3 year olds at the local dance studio.


Katy was so very excited to go. She patiently let me do her hair this morning, she practiced all her dance moves, and could hardly wait to get into the studio. ( I was pretty excited too… I know lame… I am so lame… I am such a cliché … such a helicopter mom… I am now a Dance Mom and couldn’t be happier or prouder of my girl)


I was so worried she wouldn’t go without me, that there would be tears, she wouldn’t want to wear the ballet slippers/tap shoes, that she wouldn’t participate.


I am happy to say, I worried for NOTHING!!


My girl was born to dance…

She went right in… didn’t even need a pep talk or kisses, she was ready to dance.

Keeping in true cliché fashion…


“ And if you get the choice to sit it out or dance,


I hope you dance. I hope you dance”
