Photos of House - Updates on Fundraisers

So this is the first spring in our new house and it's basically been Christmas everyday - we're finding out what flowers exist in our yard.  Unfortunately, I didn't pay as much attention in Botany school (oh wait, that is my sister) :-)  I have been spying the local nurseries to match leaves and flowers to determine what we have!  Thankfully we have some nice flowers!

And here is Jessica running around on Friday afternoon!   

As for our CHARGE Syndrome Fundraising:

- We made about $500 from our Red Sox Raffle in May.

- We have our CHATEAU (Andover, MA) fundraiser on Tuesday.  20% of the proceeds will go to the CHARGE Syndrome Foundation.

- We have our ONLINE Auction going on at http://www.biddingforgood.com/CHARGE

We have already raised $800 and hope to reach $2000.  The deadline is Sunday June 19th at 8pm. 

Please help out as you can.....

Alexis Bedtime OT/PT Activities

Warning - A 3 minute video. 
But showing some of Alexis' new found skills...
Pulling up on her crib rails and playing with the wall.
And being a silly little girl with the camera.  Wonderful bedtime moments.

April Happenings

Dressed and sort of ready for Easter Service...

Somewhat paying attention.... 

Somewhat tolerating more photos.... 

See how Matt is so well behaved, too bad his 3 children aren't paying any attention.... 

And then  2 weren't.... 

And now only 1 misbehaving... but still precious and cute...

Breakfast afterwards, a series of shots in about 30 seconds...

Our Easter morning - too bad I didn't get any pictures of my sister with the kids.  It was pretty hectic at church and Jessica obviously wanted breakfast quickly!!!
They were cute and somewhat well behaved.  Good thing their cuteness trumps their misbehaving.

School Vacation Week

In the last photo post, I did warn you that I'm out of order, right?

Over school vacation week, Alexis, Jessica, Noralea (my sister), Fionna (my niece) and I went roller skating with Eileen Lee's medically fragile group.  We got to skate / stroller on the hardwood for 2 hours.  Because I thought Alexis could "do it", we tried it.  She was walking / moving just fine, just very unsure of herself. 

She was much happier stroller-rolling :)

Lousy photos from my cell phone...

Jessica showing off her love of pink....

Alexis riding the carousel at Salem Mall.  She was having a great time!
