Drummer Boy

Eli had pneumonia in May, diagnosed on Mother's Day, in fact!  He was down for the count for several days.  Lucky for him, he recovered quickly enough to go to his first drum lesson.  Coincidence?  I think not!  He came home and joyfully drummed on anything and everything.  This very impatient boy even drummed through his breathing treatments...which was a gift to me as I didn't have to entertain him!  Glad you are feeling better drummer boy!

Happy Momma's Day!

The boys made me this amazing fruit bouquet for Mother's Day this year.  They brought it home for me after visiting with their dad.  I'm pretty certain their very creative step-mom Suzanne had a hand in this very special gift.  We had a fun little fruity celebration together.  Thanks boys!  I love being your mom!

Bruins!

Today Eli and Jack are at the Bruins victory parade with Robb and Suzanne.  They are perched on a ledge at Robb's office building in Boston, right above the parade route.  After the parade they are heading to the Sox game.  A fun father's day celebration for them.  Years ago I had a hard time knowing that they were creating memories without me.  I've come to love watching from a distance and hearing their tales when they return.  They are lucky to have such a fun day today!

Back in the game

It's been well over a month since I've posted a photo.  Instead of throwing up my hands as I've done in past years, I'm just picking up where I left off.  I caught this cute photo of the boys one morning.  Eli playing his DSI, Jack reading a magazine perched on the back of the couch. They make each other crazy and really enjoy their moments together.
