Hi there, .............Lets get one thing straight. I am not doing this webpage on my own
free will. My daughter has done nothing but get on my case about doing one. Just
kidding. My daughter is only a year old. She is a christmas baby. Couldn't ask

what I could do with a site. Guess well find out. Be real patient, my time is limited.
Feel free to sign the guestbook..........

For those of you who don't know, summer is now over. I figured I was way over due updating the website. I am sure everyone already knows that Melissa has started Kindergarten, six hours a day, five days a week. The first couple of weeks have gone very smoothly. Sarah feels she needs to help us bring Melissa to school. She seems to be very excited for Melissa. As usual, it is very hard to find out exactly how Melissa's day went. As some of you know it is kind of hard to get any information out of Melissa. Melissa is also playing soccer. Sarah also loves to go to the games with her soccer ball. Melissa is getting better with each game played. At the game Melissa hasn't been kicking that far so I figured we should work on that. Once we were outside and showed her what she should be doing to kick it further, she proceeded to have her turn at it. She was so proud of herself once she started kicking it into the net that we couldn't get her to stop practicing. She wanted to continue to try and kick the ball even further. I wish I could say that Melissa is the best on her team but she isn't. But what I can say she is the best at listing to the coach and most times paying attention to the game. I love that she is the only player that doesn't need to run to her parents on the sidelines every five minutes. She stays on the field the whole time and tries her hardest. Now what dad couldn't be proud of that? Sarah and Melissa are now back in separate bedrooms. It seems that Melissa was losing a lot of sleep being in the same room as Sarah. It usually doesn't take Melissa long to go to sleep, but being in the same room, it was taking almost an hour. Same thing in the morning. Melissa can sleep until sometime after 7, but Sarah wakes up most times around six, and proceeds to wake Melissa up. So we split the two up and we will see if that actually helps. Most nights or at nap time, Sarah will put herself to bed. After her teeth are brushed she will run to her room, close her door, shut off her light and run to her bed and lay down. There have been a couple of times during the midnight hours that Sarah will get out of bed and tell me her toe or her belly hurt. Before I can say anything about it she has already turned around and goes back to bed not to be heard from till morning.

Here we are again. Both kids are doing really well. Not all that much has change since last post. We have recently just got back from Florida. The kids loved it. Melissa loved the plane ride, Sarah could have cared less. Sarah did not like meeting the Disney characters unless they were short. Her favorite was Minnie Mouse. Melissa was willing to hug most of the characters. I myself was kind of concerned with Sarah sleeping in the same room as Melissa but in a different bed. The concern was unnecessary. Both kids went to bed at the same time and pretty much went right to sleep. There behavior was great. Melissa thought it was great when she found out that our flight was canceled to come home and we were going to have to stay in a hotel for three nights. Both kids did well while we stayed at a hotel for the additional three days.

Here we are back at it again. Melissa has finally gotten over a month and a half of colds and fevers. What a pain in the butt that was. She ended up missing 3 days of school. But like I said that is over now. She is still loving school very much. . Sarah is also done from being sick. She continues to sleep though the night and still goes to bed with no problems. All you have to do is tell her it is bed time and she will give everyone a hug and kiss and then go to bed. We will be going to Florida pretty soon, so I am starting now to prepare for another website update to be posted fairly soon.

I know it's been awhile. but here we are. Sarah is doing well. She now goes to bed without problems. She usually is asleep within a few minutes. Most of the time she is in the corner of her room playing quietly when we get up in the morning. She is finally starting to come up with some new words on her own. She now coming out with words that I had no Idea she knew. For example we happen to be walking by the "abc" banner hanging on the wall that also has pics of sea animals on it, when she points up at one and says the word dolphin. Actually it sounded like dog. I then pointed out a turtle and low and behold, she says turtle. I than point out the dolphin and again she says dolphin(dog). Just in case your asking is she confusing the two and actually is saying dog. Well the answer is no. She is trying to say dolphin. I would have to say that most of the time both of the kids get along real well. though Melissa still likes her alone. Melissa is loving going to preschool. The second her classroom door is opened, Melissa bolts for the door. we just had our first parent teacher conference. Of course, nothing but good things were said. Melissa is still treating Sarah pretty well. They both still love to go play outdoors. Melissa loves to go outside and run around while I am chasing her. She also likes to race. Like Sarah, Melissa also goes to bed without problems. Unlike the last time change where Melissa was up around six fifteen or so, with this time change she is getting up around seven.

Here we are once again. I have a few things to mention. For starters Sarah is still sleeping on the floor most of the time. For a couple of weeks she she was sleeping in her bed then "bam" all of a sudden she is back to sleeping on the floor. Melissa is now enrolled for preschool starting in September. She is so excited. She will ask "how many more days till she begins" or "I hope the other kids like me". Melissa is no longer taking her naps/relaxing time, which kinda works out. While Sarah is taking her nap, I will get either play dough or moon sand out. Once in a while I will get the craft stuff out, but not that often. As some will say, I am allergic to crafts. both kids are loving the outdoor. Sarah loves to swing and most of the time that is where she will spend her time. She does like to go into the kiddie pool but not as much as Melissa loves to. It is nice to see Sarah starting to play on her own especially when Melissa is not at home. Melissa tends to get involved in what ever Sarah is doing and then take over. We took the kids to Hershey Pennsylvania in July and they both loved it. I wasn't really sure that Sarah would be old enough to enjoy it, but I was wrong. I added two links off to the side. One is some pics of the Pennsylvania trip we took and the other link contains pictures of the kids outside.

Well I have finally decided to update the site. Both the kids are doing well. Sarah has recovered well from having her tooth pulled out in January. Sarah is now walking full time now. She is always following Melissa into her room, but the funny thing is, Melissa is usually going into Sarah's room to play. Most of the time when Melissa goes into her own room, she will tell us that she wants to close her bedroom door so she can play on her own. Sarah has now started to come out with a few words. I believe she is up to five words now. (mama, bird,duck,dog,and more) The words we seemed to here a lot is "mama and duck" I hope you are all sitting down for this one. Sarah is now sleeping though the night. YIPEE. I can't believe it myself. I have never slept better since both kids were born. . Yah I know, some of you are saying "yah so what, we all go though it" but I am going to say keep your thoughts to yourself and let me enjoy it for awhile. LOL I got more to tell. Sarah is also going to bed early. her average bedtime was between eight and nine. Trust me we have tried many times to get her to go down around seven or so. That never worked. So now she is going to bed around seven, same time as Melissa. Another round of Yippees for everyone. To the one in the front, yes Sarah is still taking her naps. Melissa is still taking her nap/relaxing time also. Talk about a good month. A little me time in the afternoon, a little at night and I get to sleep seven hours straight. Yah I know this posting is all about me, hey what the heck I'm feeling good. Back to being about the kids. Melissa is doing very well. For the most part she is still treating Sarah like a big sister should. I could do without the hugs she gives to Sarah. I don't mind hugs but for those of you who never seen Melissa give Sarah a hug, lets just say it's like a bear hug but worse.. but she means well. Sarah is lucky to be getting anything from Sarah considering Sarah has learned to pull Melissa's hair and also bite her. Like the big sister she is, all is forgotten in a few minutes. Melissa really likes to help her mom when it is time to eat. She loves to set the table. The only problem with that is Melissa doesn't put the plates and silverware in far enough so Sarah can't reach them. Could be worse and not want to help at all.. I have to work fast and get her to do all my jobs that I need to get done. I will need someone to do my chores when the Redsox come on. Breaking news..... The other day I was pretty sure Sarah said "daddy" a couple of times. Of course it wasn't very clear so I was all that sure. I didn't know if I was hearing what I wanted to hear or was she really saying "daddy" . Well yesterday Sarah came running up to me in the kitchen , right before she got to me she said "daddy" as clear as a bell It actually come out like"dad-dy". But all the same at least I know I wasn't misunderstanding her the other day.

First I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Both kids are doing great. Sarah is now climbing onto anything she can, which is a pain in the butt. Once in a while she says hello(while she is talking on her play phone.) and mamma. In the last couple of days Sarah seems to really want to walk. She will stand up on her feet, walk a few steps and fall down. She will repeat this over and over for ten minutes or so. We have found that Sarah might require surgery. She has an abscess near one of her teeth and one of them might have to be pulled out. The doctors said it looks like it was from a fall. Like the good parents we are, we have no idea when it happened. We thought Melissa was looking after Sarah. But other then that she is always happy. She is still taking her two naps a day(most days)and still gets up most nights for a bout ten minutes for a change.. Melissa is doing just as well. Overall she is still just as loving to Sarah as she was a year ago. Now a days Melissa and Sarah will go into Melissa's room and play. We tell Melissa she has to keep her room clean with all small things off the floor. She does a good job most of the time. Melissa is still a little jealous of Sarah when other people are playing with Sarah. We have found out that Melissa is now picking up words that we should'n say in front of her. I was in the car with Melissa, when I saw these kids throwing snowballs at moving cars. Of course my response was "what idiots" Well lets just say she did remember that word while we were at the diner table. Lucky I didn't have to sit in time out. It is nice to see that Melissa is now starting to play a lot on her own. For those of you who didn't know that Melissa has imangary friends. Her cousin Alex was one of those who didn't know. When she and Melissa were talking Melissa brought up her friends and Alex as what were there names. The names are Rudolph, gopher and possum. There was another name but we couldn't remember it. At times when we are playing play- dough , she will ask me to let her friends in so they can have some cake.. I do have some video clips I am going to put up with a couple of Christmas pictures.

08/08/2008Well here we go again. My girls are great. With the exception of a few whinning moments Melissa is doing well. Always trying to help out. wether it is setting the table or trying to stop Sarah from crying. The potty training is going extremely well. She told us she would like a fish, so we told her we would let her get one as an incentive. Since that day, almost a week now we have had no accidents. Melissa still loves to play with Sarah. She will dump Sarah's toy box on the flow almost every morning so she can play. I took Melissa fishing a couple of weeks back. She loved it. More then I thought she would. I figured she would get bored after a while, but she did not. We stopped because we ran out of worms. Sarah is doing well. She is crawling everywhere and has no problem standing up and moving along the furniture.
07/05/2008 Yup it's been awhile. We will start with Melissa. Overall she is still pretty good to Sarah. When Sarah is sitting in her high chair, Melissa will usually give her some toys on top of what she already had, leaving Sarah with no room to play with them. When Melissa is getting ready to go out she will go over to Sarah and give her a hug and kiss. Everyone knows by now that Melissa is an early riser, which means she is always up before Sarah. When it is time to get Sarah up Melissa also want to get her up. She will go into Sarah's room telling Sarah it is time to get up. The other day Melissa was eating a snack at the kitchen table, when I caught her trying to keep the fan{next to her seat} from rotating. I told not to play with the fan. She pretty much told me {not in so many words} that if I didn't want her to play with it, that I should move it. Sarah can now stay in the sitting position without falling down. She doesn't like being in the saucer anymore. In the past week she has been able to push with her legs and move about in the living room.. She has taken a few steps in the crawl position. Like most Sarah loves to be held. In recent weeks she will even fall asleep on the person that is holding her. Depending on her mood, she also likes you too sing to her. For the most part Sarah is still taking two naps, depending on what time she woke up in the morning. Sarah's starting to wake up, gotta go
04/08/2008 Well lets see, where do I start. I guess I will go with Sarah. I can't believe how she is growing already. As of a few days ago she is starting to hold her own when sitting up. Like Melissa when she was young, Sarah smiles almost all the time. At this point I can say she is happy most of the time, hardly ever crying. For awhile Sarah was sleeping though the night, now she is waking up once during the night for a short time. She is now at the point where she will reach for you when you put your arms out. It great she is almost as easy as Melissa was. Melissa kate is still taking the big sister role pretty good. She is still willing to help when changing her. Melissa tries to play with her when Sarah is in the saucer. She tries to make Sarah laugh. She still tries to help out when housework is being done. or like today when we were outside. she was helping me rake and pick up the piles.. I really get alot more work done with her helping. Melissa kate has decided that she likes to get up around 6:30 and come into our bedroom. I am trying to convince her to stay in her room. That's not working to well. As for her potty training that is going real well. One day she is doing so so, the next day she is talking about how she is a big girl and wants to go potty by herself. I will be posting more pictures in a few days. click here or scroll down for images
01/15/2008 Just to point out, somethings may either look wrong or out of place, just send me a note to let me know. I am now using a linux operating system(Unbuntu) instead of windows Xp for all of my computer needs. Down with Microsoft. Now on to other things... For those of you who said the next child wouldn't be as easy as Melissa was, well you were right. Totally different.. First the refusal of Sarah Nicole to sleep on her back while in the bassinet or porta crib. What a pain in the neck that was. In order to get some sleep you just let Sarah sleep on you. Man having ten pounds on you all night was not pleasant., Thankfully Sarah now sleeps thought the night, after trying out some tips we received. I have also found if the bottle is not the warm temperature she desires she will not drink, so you have to go and warm it up just a touch more. Other then that there is not much I can nitpick at. For those of you who didn't catch the newspaper last Friday, Sarah was in the baby section. You can still see it if you go to the Unionleader.com website..
Sarah is now smiling all the time. She has also began to do a lot of talking , you might not understand her but We as her parents already know what she is saying. Change me, feed me, please hold me. for those of you that knew Sara had a full head of hair when she was born, not anymore. Sarah has lost alot of that. I can't say enough about Melissa Kate. She has been so good about being a big sister. For example when you put Sarah in the bouncy, sometime we forget to turn on the music and the vibration. Now once we walk away and Sarah starts fussing Melissa will start singing to her and will put the music and vibration on. When your sitting with Sarah and she starts fussing Melissa will come over and start singing or talking to her like she really is trying to calm Sarah down. Melissa loves to hold Sarah. Melissa still doesn't realize that you just can't go and tackle her when you want to hug her. Melissa is still sleeping though the night. The other day while she was taking a nap(which are getting shorter and shorter) she got up after an hour into it, came out of her room and asked what time it was. I told her and she replied that I hadn't given her anything to drink yet, I got her some apple juice and off to bed she went. She has become miss independent when it comes to getting ready for bed. She still loves brushing her teeth and then flossing afterwards. She then gives hugs and off to bed for the night.click here or scroll down for images
11/19/07Sarah Nicole is now five weeks old. We had Sarah baptized this past weekend. So far everything is going pretty well. Sarah seems to be sleeping though the night. Melissa is great with Sarah. She tries to help me hold the bottle when feeding Sarah. Melissa has now decided that she likes getting up at six instead of seven in the morning. She can now open her bedroom door with no problem, which is good for her but not so good for us. She was coming into our room telling us it was light out. When we asked Melissa what sound a turkey makes, it comes out :google boogle" The other nite Sarah rolled onto her back by herself. At this point I am combining Melissa's and Sarah's pages together. I wouldn't know where to put the one's that have Melissa and Sarah. We took Melissa out for her first time to go sledding(small hill we made in the back yard) When we put her in the sled on top of hill, we asked her if she was ready. Her reply was "lets rock and roll". Not too sure where she picked that up.
