reasons to celebrate!

We've been busy the past few weekends with lots and lots of celebrating! So much so, that we are looking forward to getting our diets back to normal and keeping things a little modest for a while. About 10 days ago, we celebrated Tom's 37th (gasp!) and went out for an amazing dinner at Maroni's in Northport. Tasting menu style, we tried about 25 different dishes that night -- all of which were delicious! The next weekend, my parents celebrated their FORTIETH (also known as their Ruby) wedding anniversary, and we had a small but fun celebration with, of course, lots of food and cake! Phew! Who knew so much good news could make you so full! 

So before we move on and get back to our normal routine, I just want to say again how much I love you all -- my adorable husband AND my wonderful parents! And there is no one else in the world I'd rather get fat for than you guys!

The Bride and Groom

It Had To Be You

let's work backwards.

Hi there. It's been a while. 

But let me assure you, we haven't been ignoring you. We've just been a little too under the weather to do much of anything but rest at every chance that we got. We (and I mean me and the boys minus Tom) have all shared pink eye, Andy pneumonia, me and Rowan bronchitis and Henry a cold over the past three weeks. Somehow I was the first to get hit and the last to recover. Oh, and there was also a birthday and thanksgiving in there, too(!); which means a thanksgiving play, haircuts for the boys, trying to take a christmas card photo, lots and lots of doctor visits, and lots of putting of to tomorrow what we should have done today. So that's where we've been.  Mostly. 

Except for this past weekend. Where Tom and I went into the city overnight to celebrate our anniversary and my birthday for a weekend. Of amazingness. And i have really no photos to share with you because my phone is full, and there are no photos allowed inside The Nutcracker, and I don't like to take selfies when we're in Blue Hill sitting a few tables away from Jack Osbourne and we're playing it cool. Not to mention too busy stuffing our faces on some of the best food we've ever eaten. So, there's not much to show for our awesome weekend other than the smiles on our faces as we remember how for 24 hours we lived the luxurious life. . .

A-MA-ZING.

And now, you're all caught up!

And a *special thanks* to Mom and Dad for making this weekend happen! xoxox

three. (and ten!).

This weekend, Rowan turned three! We celebrated modestly with a trip to the planetarium and visits from the Grands. Later that night, Tom and I double-dipped on celebrating, by getting a babysitter so that we could go out to dinner and celebrate ten years!

While I feel guilty saying it, because no doubt turning three is a major milestone in the little dude's life, I also feel that our marriage turning ten years old is an even bigger milestone! We're hoping to celebrate with a little more fanfare in the fall, because, quite frankly, we earned it!! ;)

Overall, we had an awesome time celebrating everything with everyone, and a big thanks to you all for making it special for us!

Here are some pictures from this big/little weekend:
