Passaic Park with Tolis Part 2

Passaic Park with Tolis Part 1

Our Trip to Flemington and other stuff

Tolis' first haircut..it was sad cutting his baby hair but now he's looking more grown up!

Tolis can eat with a fork!

We've all done it, every human being has done it (at least those who eat with forks and knives) but when your baby learns to use his fork for the first time, for that moment you are the proudest mom in the world!

Six Wonderful Years Together

Six years ago, I was a junior in highschool. I was getting ready for biology class and was about to walk into the room when Dennis came around the corner, stopped me, and asked me, "will you go out with me?" I had been waiting for this moment, not sure if it would ever happen, but at that moment I had the biggest thrill that I've ever had in my life. Of course, the answer was yes and he told me he was going to come ask my dad that weekend. I flew into the bathroom to recover for a minute, grabbing Dennis's sister on the way and telling her the great news! I was totally flushed when I walked into biology class and my teacher, dear Mr. Brennan, came over with his cheeky grin and said to me.."did somebody just ask you out?"

Its been the most wonderful six years and I look forward to many more of them. They were filled with much joy, also much pain. In the beginning its hard when your parents are in control of your relationship but I'm thankful to our parents for their guidance and rigidity when we needed it, even though we didn't want it. I wouldn't do it any other way! God has blessed us with much more then we could ask for and we thank him first and foremost for bringing us together.

Winter Storm!

We definitely enjoyed this winter storm! My husband got a day off and the snowfall was just beautiful! Tolis had a blast playing with and eating the snow!

So, I was on a cooking spree this week and made a Danish pastry, roast Turkey, and doughnuts!
Let me tell you, these doughnuts are rivals with Dunkin Donuts..they were awesome! These aren't the cakey kind..they are the chewy, melt-in-your mouth kind!
Williams Sonoma came out with a new donut cutter and it does a great job!
