St. Patricks Day Parade Newport, RI

Boy were we suprised at what a big deal the St. Patrick's Day Parade was in Newport. It was huge and it went on for hours. We got great parking though!! We had a Police officer who felt sorry for Joshua and his broken leg so we got to park close by. Ashley marched with the band

in the parade and Scott walked as a bouncer with the band cause the Irish drinking crowd gets a little rowdy. Taylor and Joshua Loved it!!!

I'm back!!

Hello everyone!
I am back among the living in the blog world. I have to say that February was just so blah that it seemed I just didn't have anything to write about. It was funny ,on March 2nd the day Joshua broke his leg, we were sitting in the ER and Joshua says "Mom now you finally have something to put on your blog. " I also knew it had been a long time when my best friend Nadja in Germany emailed me to ask if everything was all right! Thanks to my friends for checking on me!!! This year in Rhode Island has been a long winter. Lot's of snow and snow days for the kids. With make up days now we are going to school until the 26th of June (yuck!)
My sanity lies 26 days away. I can't wait to go to Hawaii with my sweetheart!! Scott and I are so looking forward to our trip. Taylor is not so excited about our trip! She hates it whan Scott and I are both gone!! She refers to our trip as "dumb hawaii"
So yes Dumb Hawaii here we come!!!!

Book Recommendation

book club! Great book! You should

definately check it out!!!

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!

JOSHUA BROKE HIS LEG AGAIN!!!

18 months ago Joshua broke his right tibia during a

soccer game. After casts and physical therapy just

last month he was running without a limp! Fast forward to

Monday, March 2. The kids were home for a

snow day( I know a snow day in March) and

Joshua and Ashley were horsing around. Joshua went to

karate kick Ashley and she blocked with her knee and the

next thing I hear is Joshua yelling I have broke my leg again!! Its

broke! I can feel it just like last time!!!

Sure enough one emergency room visit later we came home with Joshua

and his broken leg same side and about the same place as last time!!

Poor kid!!!! Its going to be a long 8 weeks!!!
