~I am soooooooooooooo lucky~

This little man has such a big piece of my heart.....I love him sooo much and thank god that he is here with us. He had a very scary and long road getting here but I get up everyday and look at that face and I am sooooo in love with him. These pictures I took the other day when he was being a ham and smiling!!

~SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of you~

Brandon had his first football game they won 40-0. Brandon played a lot and he is doing so well and we are sooo proud of him!!!! He is doing such a great job and is giving it his all!!! He sure does look like a big boy in his uniform. I can't believe he will be a freshman next year and that Cailan will be going into pre-school. Time really does fly by when you least expect it to.. WTG Brandon keep up the good work. WE love you sooooo much!!!

~Lobster BBQ at Dad's~

Went to the in-laws for a BBQ this past weekend....we had soo much fun!! The kids swam in the pool and we had all kinds of good stuff to eat. I made clams one in beer, garlic and butter. The other one in wine, garlic and butter...they were soooo good!! It was soo nice to just visit and be around family. The lobsters were sweet and juicy thanks Dad and Dianne we had soo much fun!!

~Dillie's 9 month check-up~

I can't believe my little preemie is 9 months old, where did the time go? He is such a joy and we just fall in love with him more and more every day. He is 22lbs. and 28" long!!!..he is almost off the preemie growth chart and on the chart for normal babies!!! He is getting his two top teeth and both bottom ones have come through. I am betting hubby that he will be walking in another month or so. He is such a little go getter and loves to be entertained ALL day!! Just like his father and brother he can't sit still long. We are getting ready to head to Mass to see my family for a week. I am hoping that there colds will be better by then. Well hope you all are enjoying your summer and having great weather. Love Us!!

~Nana's Jewels~..and her diamond is Cailan Marie :)

Cailan went with her daddy and visited Nana and Papa Priest today....Nana gave her a bunch of jewels...or as Cailan likes to call them "crystal diamonds"........so here she is modeling all her "crystal diamonds" for us..and even the dog got some. However, she would not share with her baby brother!!!...Thank you Nana she loves you soooooo very much and her Papa too!!! I don't know what we would do without you.
