No Rules Week

Dj has been sending me pictures of the girls while I have been away...this is my favorite...

Winter Playtime

It's been a long, cold winter and we have been spending a lot of time indoors. We have kind of made a second playroom out of the living room and the girls love playing in there, coloring, jumping and listening to Taylor Swift (they BOTH love her!).

Daniella is 15 months and busier than ever! Climbing, running, getting into everything she shouldn't be...she's a handful right now...but cuter than ever!!

Marianna "running" playing tag with Daniella...(poor Daniella just runs in circles trying to get her!)

After a while, she gives up and just goes to "color"...

Happy Valentines Day!

Marianna was very excited to get a new disney DVD (beauty and the beast) a new crown and "makeup". She is our little princess (Thomas the Train thankfully is disappearing around here...).

The Great Outdoors

After being couped up in our house for WEEKS due to tonsil surgery recovery, ear and sinus infections, frigid cold temps, and what not...it feels GREAT to get outside and play in the snow!
Marianna, Daniella and I went sledding prior to the snowman making, played on the play structure and then sent Daniella inside so Mommy and Marianna could spend some much needed time together!
Sophia the Snowwoman was created (named by Marianna) and she was made with a lot of work and love by Marianna. I have never seen anyone work harder on making sure she was "perfect" (...in her eyes...)
The weather was awesome and we are looking for more days to get outside once we get rid of a little more snow!

Wanted to see if her throat still worked after having her tonsils out...

Sesame Sreet Live

This was our third trip to Sesame Street Live and it was the best ever! Our seat were awesome because the 5 rows in front of us were vacant and we had isle seats, center of the Fox theatre. Our family four pack got us a nice hot dog, chips and soda to munch on (in addition to the cotton candy, popcorn, and candy we also loaded up on), and Daniella was captivated the entire time (we worried about this..).
I don't think it could have gone any better. After dropping an additional 50 on souvenirs and Cd's, I would think Marianna would call it the perfect night!
This is our annual Valentines Day celebration as a family and it could not have been a better time!

Trying to get the impossible shot..two girls smiling and looking at the camera...

Valentines

So proud of Marianna for signing her name on all of her valentines for school!!

Back To...Normal?

I have been horrible with the blog and taking pictures lately considering I haven't even put up pictures from Christmas yet! Needless to say, I have had my hands full with Marianna recovering from her tonsilectomy and Daniella catching the cold of the century (and mom has it now, too!).

I took this from my phone. You can tell both girls are getting back to normal and the rough housing is back. On a separate note, I am 25 weeks pregnant today and think this may be the slowest of all my pregnancies. I had a drs appointment today, everything is great and I am hoping for a faster third trimester!
