February is typically a short month but it was jam packed full of activities. We started off with a dinner for Aunt Nancy and Uncle Sal who moved to Florida on February 6th. Then on Friday the 8th we had a birthday party for Sean, who I still can't believe has turned 5! The party consisted of the Pagnottas and Fells and went well. We all had a lot of fun! Colin came home with us and gave mom a little break. He loves to stay overnight and we all love to have him even Luke gets excited. The following weekend on Saturday we had a birthday party for AJ who turned one. The ride was long but we enjoyed the party and visit with the Fell side of the family. On Sunday we took Colin to a pet shop and he loved it. He is very into the animals but was mesmerized by a giant salmon colored parrot who kept screaming at this woman who was talking to him. He kept yelling "Leave me alone!" It was hysterical. There was a beagle puppy and a boxer puppy who just loved him and he kept going back to see them. We were expecting him to want to buy them but he was just happy because they had gumball machines that he could spend all of the duarters (quarters) he had stuffed in his pockets that he found in the mug on Pop Pop's night stand.
Paulie cut his first tooth on the 21st which was very exciting. He is getting so big and now crawls and gets into everything. We all went shopping at Old Navy the night before AJ's party and Paulie was so funny. He had a fisherman hat on and looked so cute with his big blue eyes looking out from under the rim. He took it off after a while and Colin tried to put it back on him and he was screaming at Colin, not crying just screaming and turned almost purple, it was hysterical. We all cracked up except Colin who was getting frustrated. Paulie can't talk yet but he lets you know what he wants.
February also brought us a little snow. The kids and Luke were excited. Luke loves the snow and is not so happy that it is melting. He is crazy!
To end February, my friend Irene will become a grandmother on the 28th! Her daughter Lisa will have scheduled delivery and give Irene and Mike their first granddaughter. Conratulations!!

Holiday Season
November and December flew by. It seemed we had just gotten over Halloween when it was Thanksgiving and now Christmas. Wow! I am exhausted and still have lots to do. We have a lot to be thankful for this year though. We have 3 beautiful healthy grandsons and lots of family to share the holidays with.
Our traditions are changing to meet our growing families needs, this Saturday we are doing the Fell celebration at Uncle Bob's and them we have a celebration on Christmas Eve with my mom and Rich's family so Rich and Lynn can spend some time with Grandmom Pagnotta and anyone else who wants to stop by. We spend Christmas morning at their house where Lynn and Rich cook us a great breakfast and we watch the kids open our presents to them. After breakfast we go home and take a rest, then head to my brother Dan's for the Pagnotta celebration.
I have been working late for the past 6 weeks so getting things done is a little tricky but we are all pitching in and it will get done. My company is crazy between October and mid December but we get off from Monday, December 24th until Wednesday, January 2nd as bonus days with pay so it makes it worth the pain. I am really looking forward to the time off.
Since I didn't get a chance to get my holiday cards out, I hope everyone has a great Holiday!!

October was a busy month!
Wow! We started off October with a weekend of birthday parties, both at a pumpkin patch. Gabby's was on Saturday and it was 80 plus degrees. Colin and Sean seemed to enjoy it but Paulie was not as thrilled so Lynn and Rich went to Kleio's on Sunday with Colin and Pa and I watched Paulie. He is such a great baby. Good thing for Lynn and Rich because when you have all three together it is exhausting, but we love it.
The following weekend was the first birthday for Kamryn, (hard to believe!) and Pa and I took Colin because Paulie was sick. Colin had a great time and everyone kept telling us how beautiful his hair and eyes are.
The weekend of the 20th we had Paulie and Colin for a sleepover visit and we had a great time. They slept the whole night and it was fun having them here for breakfast. Colin and I baked, he loves cooking like his dad. We went for walks and played outside. It was great.
The last weekend Of October we watched the boys on Saturday and kept Colin overnight to give Lynn and Rich a break while preparing for Paulie's Christening party on Sunday. The priest had a great personality so it turned out very well and Paulie looked adorable in his little suit. We had good food and a great time at Lynn and Rich's. Rich was thrilled that his grandmom came to his home for the first time. We were a little worried about the steps but she made out great. She was a hit with the young people as always.
We ended the month with Halloween and they were so cute in their costumes. Colin was a perfect Dennis the Menace. Sean cracked me up with the Policeman's hat. They are a trip!
Colin went from saying few words to talking in sentences in about 4-6 weeks. He repeats everything and I do mean EVERYTHING! It is amazing to watch them grow. Hard to believe in September 2008 Sean will be in kindergarten already.
As we get older and life doesn't seem to be getting any easier we have to realize that as long as we have been blessed with beautiful children including our daughter-in-law and beautiful grandsons, life is great!
My father would be happy to know that the tradition goes on. He always said "there isn't a bad looking one in the bunch, dear." Of course he was just a little prejudiced! You would have to know my father to know that when he said that he was filled with pride when it came to his kids and grandkids. He never tired of having his grandchildren underfoot. I know now how he felt. His legacy continues to grow as Little Dan and Mollie are expecting in May. We are all very excited for them!
