‘graciecakes’

We began the day at the Nautilus Diner in Massapequa to celebrate Jake’s 8th birthday.  I can’t believe he’s eight already!  I remember with absolute clarity the day he was born.   I was lucky enough to be in the room when he came into the world.  I was also priveledged to cut the cord.  I remember wearing my pink, Ann Taylor sweater set for the big event.   I looked like I was going to a baby shower, not a birth.   Who knew that when you cut the cord, there would be lots of blood.  Lets just say that I never wore my pink sweater set again.  My Jake was worth it!!!!  Here’s a few pictures of when Jake spent the weekend with us a couple of weeks ago.  I ask….Does my sister and brother-in-law feed the boy?

After they left, we decided the day was too beautiful to stay indoors, so we headed for the farm!  We asked Sarah if she’d like to go on a pony ride and without hesitation she yelled, “Yes!”   I wasn’t convinced myself that she would actually stay on the pony for the whole

time, but she obviously was.  She loved every minute of the ride and didn’t want to come off. 

Olivia had a wonderful time too.  I don’t think she’s ever seen so much grass to run around on.  She had no time, nor inclination to sit in her stroller.  All she wanted was to be free.  Who could blame her?  She spent the whole time either playing in the rocks or just walking around aimlessly!  She is an absolute joy to watch and to play with.   Both my girls are.  I’m madlyinlove!
