Flash backs...

I am going to be creating some old posts with a few key moments for us in the past few months that I haven't updated our blog so keep check below for new photos and updates!

We're backkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

Yup, it's true, I decided to finally sit down again and keep up with this blog. I love looking back on all the amazing things my kids do and this is just the perfect way to keep track of those things.

What has happened in the past several months?

The boys have grown...TREMENDOUSLY!

Nate is now 14 months has learned how to chase his brother, tease his brother, hit his brother, learned how to say "Mama, Daddy, Belle, Balle, "I want juice", Kaka, bye bye and will give you a "bisous" (= kiss in french) whenever you ask for it...as well as the typical "high five".

Sebastian is almost 3.5 and has started preschool 3 mornings a week and has learned SO SO much in the past 3 months, he can read most of his letters, has learned so many new songs, ....

but the "thing" that has grown the most around here is the love we have for eachother and God!

I hope you'll continue to follow our journey...

New York, New York

On the 5th of March my maternal grandmother passed away. Her funeral took place in New York so we made the trip with the kids to pay our respects. The service was beautiful and I was glad that I was able to be there.
We took advantage of the trip to spend some time with family that hadn't met the kids yet and we had a terrific time, especially the kids. We even got to take the kids into the city, visit the Statue of Liberty, Empire State building, Time Square ...

Here are a few photos from our trip:

During our stay, we stayed at my cousin Matilda's home on Long Island. She has 4.5 TRIPLETS (Rena, Max and Lola) and a 1.5 year old, Alex!! Her sister, Maggie (also my cousin) had twins, Ana and Emma.

Nate's First Birthday

Our first trip to Disney

as a family of four!
We decided on a whim to take the kids to Disney for the weekend: booked a hotel, packed our bags and off we went.
It was the first time Nate was in the car for so long and since we left early,he did fairly well. Eric and I were really excited abotu seeing Sebastian's reaction when we would be there, and once we got closer and saw "mickey" signs, he went CRAZY! "MICKEY MICKEY MICKEY I so happy we go to Disneyworld". Everyone who knows Sebastian, knows how expressive he is, and this time was no different and made our Disney experience even more magical.
The park was packed but we were able to get on tons of rides, Sebastian's favorite were the Pirates of the Carribean and the Buzz lightyear ride.
We stayed until the fireworks were over (gorgeous by the way) and then headed to the hotel, Sebastian actually was so exhausted that he fell asleep on the tram on our way back to the car!

Halloween Party

Today our moms group had a great Halloween party. The kids had so much fun running around and I had a great time chatting with my mommy friends. Sebastian wore his pirate costume and insisted I paint something on his face, don't you love his moustache?? I turned Nate into his pumpkin because I wanted to save his real costume for Halloween and I actually dressed up as a kitty cat (whickers and all)

Kids say the cutest things!

Last night we were having dinner and Eric was complaining that the fish wasn't very good.

So I looked at Sebastian and said:" You dad is a big pain in the butt. He should always say that mommy's food tastes good"Sebastian: "
But mommy, I know daddy loves you!
Me: I am not sure, what makes you think that?
Sebastian: He's always kissing you!
Me: Oh really?Sebastian: Yes, mama.
He goes...mwa,mwa mwa (making kissy faces with his lips) all the time to you when we are in the care!


My heart melted! he is so darn cute!
