la vida loca...

we had a fabulous visit to Venice to see Mimi and Poppy...the big kids went to Mimi's school all week and the babies and I traipsed around town--lunching with Mimi, shopping, and just hanging out in Mimi's office. We also all visited the beach and had dinner at Sharkey's... Thank you Aunt Angela and Uncle Tony for providing us with a comical night of boiling lobsters from the "lobster gram" they sent! We peeled dad out of the chair at 10:30 at night to boil them when mom and I realized they had to be cooked on the day you receive them...they were LIVE in the box awaiting their certain death...atleast it was quick...

Here's Miss Isabella and Mimi digging their toes in the sand...

Mimi and her Lily...

Mimi and her Ty Ty...

Ty got a kick out of watching the skim-boarders...

Here are Mimi and Poppy with Bella--yes, James was at the beach but he was in the stroller with Nanny watching...

Poppy and Bella...

Lily and Ty still for only a second...

See...proof that James was there too...

Here were Lily and Ty quickly getting their shoes off...

Captain Ahab...

Here are James and Bella with baby Trevor at Trunk or Treat at the kids' school--lots of fun!

Here are Jonathan, Ty, Lily, and Adrian...

Many of you have asked--James is much better. He's rolling again and no longer on Motrin around the clock. The human body is amazing at how fast it heals! He's a resilient little guy!
Here's baby Trevor...done with the whole thing and ready to LEAVE!!

Here I am with Lisa, one of my very best friends!!!
