Jenna's Birthday

Can you believe Jenna is 4???? Mike and I still can't. Jenna got to celebrate her birthday twice. We had cake on Jenna's birthday at Grandma Gladys' house and then had a little party at Grandma Teresa's house the next week. Jenna had a great time at both houses and loved seeing everyone.

Bronx Zoo

Last week we headed over to the Bronx Zoo. I haven't been there since I was in grade school. We went with Mark and Madison. Jenna and Madison had a great time seeing all the different animals. Of course Michael slept most of the day away....

Justin's Birthday Party

Friday June 13 Jenna and I attended Justin's Birthday party. Justin is from Jenna's class at St Anselms. Jenna was thrilled to see so many of her school friends. The party was at a gym and Jenna loved trying out the different equipment.

Pool Pictures

Since the heat has moved in, we got a small pool to go on the balcony for Jenna. Madison and Jenna had a blast last week playing in. Michael wasn't lucky enough to join the two of them in the pool, but he loved hanging outside with us.

Coney Island

Last Wednesday, Michele and I took Jenna, Luke and Michael to Coney Island for the day. We took the kids to Nathans for lunch then over to the kiddie rides for some fun. We were able to take Luke on the Carousel and the Train ride and he loved them both. Jenna had so many rides to chose from, she didn't know which way to go. Of course Michael slept the entire time. I'm sure next year he will be very eager to join these two on the rides.

Jenna told us she wanted to go on this, but I think we may wait a bit....

Random Pictures

Here are some random pictures from the past week. Last weekend was the 5th Avenue Festival here in Bayridge. We walked around with Jen, Mark and Madison and of course the girls couldn't resist the bouncing tent. Michael is getting bigger each day and also started smiling and laughing. I can't believe he is 6 weeks already and that my baby is turning 4 this weekend! Time is just flying right by.




Someone loves his Grandmas!















Love that smile!

Meet Michael George

Michael finally got to meet our family and friends out on Long Island last weekend. We were so happy to see everyone, since it had been a while. We gathered at Grandma Teresa's house and Jenna was overly excited to see her cousins Brandon and Ethan. I didn't get pictures of everyone, but here are those I did get.

Jenna's Pre-School Graduation

Can you believe school is already over? Friday May 30 was Jenna's last day of Pre-school at St. Anselms. They had a graduation celebration for family and friends. We are very sad to see the end of the school year since Jenna loved school. She had a great year and learned a lot, such as how to write her letters, numbers and even how to write and spell her name. She made a lot of new friends and is very excited to move up to Pre-K.
