Oh, Christmas Tree....Oh, Christmas Tree!

-
A couple of weeks ago, we took the boys to the Woburn Mall for some Papa Ginos! I went with both my mom and dad while Jim worked late. He was preparing to go to Brussels for work - which meant long work days. My parents, me and the boys had a great time and the pizza is obviously so greasy and yummy. My Dad had a good idea to walk down the mall to see if there was a line for Santa. There wasn't - so the boys hopped on Santa's lap and we took a few great pics. No tears!


Here's a quick pic of my mornings last week dropping the kids off at daycare AND picking them up. It was a long week with Jim being so far away (5 hour time difference) but I really enjoyed the morning and afternoon time with the boys. And they were pretty much healthy, so they slept wonderfully all week. I just bought these bright orange shirts - I love them! I can find C and C from a mile away. :)


We went Christmas Tree shopping a week or so ago. The boys ran all over the place. It was honestly like a maze - I thought I was going to lose them. They're so FAST.





They are SO into choo choo trains now, too. This is a tiny little train that goes around in circles. They can sit and stare at it forever. They even say "choo choo". It's so cute. We got a big surprise for them for Christmas...a big polar express choo choo train that goes around the base of the Christmas tree. That's their big gift this year.


Outside lamp post decorated! Ha that's the extent of my outdoor decorating. Hey - you can see the tree in the window, so that's enough right??



And a few extra pics of ordinary life these days........





xo,

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h
