Fun times

This past weekend was sooo busy! DH and I made a huge pot of home made sauce with authentic italian meatballs. Oh so great!

Today I took the kids to pick strawberries and they are so sweet this year! Had a blast and got a tan at the same time ;) Also picked some of our home grown organic lettuce for dinner this evening, as pictured below. Absolutely beats out anything I've ever bought...in the store or otherwise. What a superb week!

So much going on around here I love this kind of busy and love spending extra time with my girls! Did some back to school shopping today as well...very very productive week so far :D

Update: Awesome! This day keeps getting better! Report card day and our eldest passed everything including her NYS Earth Science Regents! Yes so proud :) She even received college credits in 8th grade! Can't even say how proud we all are! Way to go *muah*

Soooooooooo glad to have my girl back after her trip to Washington D.C., Gettysburg, Hersheys Chocolate World Tour and Maryland! The pictures are out of this world! So cool to see The White House and Washington Monument at sunset! I am so thrilled she was able to go <3 Can't imagine how it was in person! WOW WOW WOW!

This week has been exciting for her but man oh man are we glad she's back! Thanks so much to all who bought pretzels and helped contribute to her vacation fund. She earned about 70% of the money herself!!

My girls <3

I hope you know how much we love you both. Your dad and I have always treated you the same, spent the same amount on gifts for one as the other and have given you both as much as we could even though we started our family so young. I feel like we have made the best decisions for you BOTH and we will always be here for you BOTH.

I hope that you read this someday...maybe when you have kids of your own and realize that sacrifice is not a bad thing and that you won't regret it years later! I am so proud to have the 2 best daughters around and we love you so much! We have been superbly blessed twice <3

Late this morning we were rerouted on our trip to Buffalo..I knew something was not right because there were so many first responders and a blockade...which I've seen before. Our hearts go out to the Conway family <3
