No more diapers!!!!!

So as it states above, no more diapers!!!! Jenna is finally potty trained! She has been doing great with her big girl underwear. She likes to show it off and tell you she is a big girl now. We are so excited and so very proud of her.

Sunday was the Bayridge St Patrick's Day Parade. Grandma Gladys came down to Brooklyn to watch with us. Even Madison, Jennifer and Mark with Aunt Mandy came out to watch. The weather was great - spring is finally here.

Jenna and I waiting for the parade.

I just loved her cheeks. She was puckering up for a kiss.

Here is the little mommy-in-training rocking one of her babies to sleep.

Here is a new picture of Luke. I finally got to hold him :)

Baby Luke is finally here!

Luke Richard Sere is here! Over 2 weeks early, he arrived on March 14, 2007 at 511pm. He weighed in at 6lbs and 2oz and was 19 inches long. Both mom and baby are good and so is daddy! Now Jenna can finally stop saying Baby Luke is coming this month.

All else is good. Jenna was accepted into St Anslems Catholic School for fall. We are very excited since it is our parish and plus her best friend Madison will be there with her. And if you are thinking about a uniform, it isn't until 1st grade she would have to wear one. For those who see the bandage on her head, she had an accident a couple of weeks ago. She tripped and fell into a bookcase at daycare and cut open her forehead. She required 7 stitches by a plastic surgeon. All is healing well and we should hardly see it once it is completely healed. I think it was worse on Mike and I than Jenna. She was a trooper - hardly crying during the stitches and not at all when they took them out.

Enjoy the pictures of Luke Richard and of Jenna.

Poor Mike's back and shoulders! She weighs a ton now.

Weekend full of parties!

Saturday was Michele's baby shower. Her and Rich got such cute things for the baby. Can't wait until Luke Richard makes his appearance next month. Sunday Jenna had Oscar's Birthday Party. She had a great time with all her Tutor Time friends.

SuperBowl 2007

It's been a while since our last post. Nothing new going on here. Just in the middle of a deep freeze here in NY. We had friends over for the SuperBowl. Go Colts :) - sorry Jen about the Chicago loss....

Here are some pictures from our evening.

Everyone enjoying the game.

Great-Nanny's Birthday

Saturday January 13 was Grandma Mary's birthday. We celebrated on Sunday with dinner and cake. Jenna had a great time with all and even showed some photography promise. She took a few pictures herself with my camera. Enjoy!

Is it Spring?

Saturday the weather was amazing. I believe it actually hit 70 degrees! Hard to believe that it is January. But don't worry winter is back. It is freezing today! Saturday we took Jenna to the park to enjoy this great weather. She has such a great time. She was very happy to shed her heavy winter coat and just play.


She loved the slides at this park.

Happy New Years!

Happy New Years! Here is to a great 2007! We spent New Years Eve with Madison, Jennifer and Mark. The girls had a blast playing and us adults had a great time eating and drinking. Jenna made a good try at staying up until midnight. I believe she fell out somewhere between 11/1130pm, while Madison was a trooper and stayed up until the ball dropped. These girls were all over the place, so these are the best 2 pictures I could get.
May everyone have a happy, healty New Year!

Christmas Day

Christmas Day finally arrived and Jenna was so excited that Santa left gifts under the tree for her. She had so much fun opening up her gifts. We had Christmas Day at our house this year. Everyone came over - Gladys, Darren and Iliana, Iliana's family and Mom and Jason. Even Murphy took the ride out to Brooklyn. We all had a great time spending the day together. We hope everyone had a great Christmas holiday!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was loads of fun. We celebrated at my mom's house with my Aunt Susan, Uncle Thomas, Tommy and Jimmy and those big boys - Ethan and Brandon. We had a great time and the kids had a blast playing with each other.

Christmas Party

Friday December 22 was the anual KBW Christmas Party for the kids. Jenna had a blast playing with all the other kids and seeing the special guests - Mickey Mouse, Red Power Ranger and Santa Claus! Afterwards we finished up our shopping at the mall, again and Jenna got to ride the train, again. First time we rode it together and the second time she was a big girl and rode it by herself!

Almost Christmas!

It is less than a week to Christmas and we are still running around! Can't wait to sit back and enjoy the holidays this weekend coming up. This past weekend we were out on LI for a Christmas Party. We had a great time as did Jenna. Sunday, Jenna and I spent the day shopping with Grandma Gladys. We dragged Grandma over to Staten Island and shopped for hours. I know we were exhausted by the time we got home. And finally the Christmas tree is up and decorated. Mike and I decorated it last night with a little help from Jenna.
We hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas holiday this weekend.
Merry Christmas!!!!!
