back from the blogger dead!!

Hey ya'll (if anyone still reads this...)

I realize I disappeared.

I didn't even post pictures from our Florida vacation!!!

It was the most amazing week ever!!

I made lists of photos I wanted to post, planned out a week of blogs with ten pictures each...

and then, I guess, I felt overwhelmed...

and then I got so far behind...

and there's been so much stuff since then...

(halloween, liv's bday, m.b.'s baby boy noah, beth's bday, breaking dawn part 1, my cousin jackie's baby girl,  turkey day,  my friend nick's wedding, my friend jody's baby shower, a PATS GAME,  going to lowell for brian's birthday, dying my hair bright red..............)

I wondered how I could ever catch up!!!

(and I'll admit that I've been a little bummed out since we got home,

but things are looking up!!!)

I'm gonna try to catch you guys (and myself) up on all the good stuff. :)

Here's a few from our Disney trip...

 my fave :)

The view walking out from our suite the first morning :)

 Mike and Sully :) :) :) (Liv and Dayt were SO impressed!!)

 The Nemo Ride...nice background view :)

 I almost got eaten by a shark!!!!

 Beauty and the Beast Live. AWESOME!!

 Tower of Terror!! So much fun! :)

And we loved the Aerosmith rollercoaster. :)
I stopped choosing pics at the Epcot Wine and Food Fest...

Forgive me for my absence, from my blog and YOURS!!!

I'm BACK!!!! :) :) :) I MISSED YOU!!!

Last week, I went to a wedding...

The youngest son of a family I grew up with got married. :)

It was so much fun to all get together...

(K stayed home with Livi so Beth could come :) )

We had a blast...

Today was my cousin, Jackie's baby shower...

she's having a baby girl, and naming her "Aleena." :)

Wishing Ben and Allison a lifetime of happiness,

and the same for Jackie, her boyfriend Donnie, and of course, Aleena. :)

 On Monday, Beth and I took Dayton and Livi to

New England Aquarium in Boston.

The fun started early...they loved the train!! :)

The aquarium is so much fun!!! I'd almost forgotten how great it is!!

And the have a new "Touch Tank."  We got to touch rays and SHARKS!! :)

I think the Touch Tank was our favorite...

we went three times. :)

Dayton said his favorite part of the day 

was when a shark scared me and I screamed and splashed us all!!

Here's some pics from the rest of the day...

We had lunch at Cheers, posed with Red Auberbach

(I was trying to get them to point and say, "We're number one!!

but Dayton had his heart set on stealing his stogie!!)

We also took a carousel ride...

It was a pretty awesome day. :)

Happy kids make for a very happy auntie!! :)
