Where the Wild Things Are

Lila: Liam, I'm bored.
Liam: Me too. What can we do?
Lila: Let's freak mom out.
Liam: That sounds like a fine plan, but how?
Lila: Let's dig out some old Halloween costumes and go about our day as usual.
Liam: Capital idea, my girl, simply capital!

Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend we embarked on the perfect fall journey. We went to Ellm's Farm, which had a pumpkin patch, a 'jumping pillow', and a little something called the "Moo Moo, Choo-Choo". Of course we had donuts and cider to wrap things up.

Bubbles Bubbles Everywhere

Here we are hanging out in Nanima's Jacuzzi.... we went a little overboard with the bubbles.

(Check out my spooky spider tattoo.)

Why do I let my sister do this to me?

Boston/Cambridge

Last week we took advantage of dad's nerd meeting at MIT (don't worry, he takes that as a compliment) and joined him in Cambridge...While he worked his mental wheels, we worked our stroller wheels and discovered Boston the old fashioned way, BDT (before duck tours). We saw the Boston Children's Museum, the Aquarium, Haaahvad, and the inside of more than one overcrowded subway car. All in all, quite the adventure. Enjoy the pictures here.

814 Mile Car Trip

We made it back in one piece everyone... and they said it couldn't be done. Last Wednesday we started out from Albany, stopped in Bethesda, MD, Washington, DC, Myrtle Beach, SC, Raleigh, NC, Richmond, VA, Schnecksville, PA, Bethelehem, PA and back to Albany again. All this in 6 days... that is serious fun... concentrated. Here are the pictures from our east coast adventure.

Conked out in the backseat... what moms and dads prefer.

Birthday Bash

Last Saturday morning, my parents threw a birthday party for me (Lila) in honor of me turning 3 years old. Can you believe that? And to top it off, my Grandpa Randy and Nana came for the weekend.. and surprised us by bringing Uncle Tommy too! Too much fun.. Enjoy the pictures.

Liam Talks

Here's a video of Liam doing animal impressions and talking...in his own, special little Liam way. (~4 min.)

Storyteller

Mommy read this book to me a few times, so now I am returning the favor. Enjoy a short excerpt from my new favorite story: The Gingerbread Man.

A Royal Flush

My friend Frankie got me some Princess paraphenalia... I don't think he knew how truly exciting this would really be.

PRINCESS!!!
(or as Lila says, "I'm a Princess, with SPARKLY shoes.")

Drama Queen

' I married that guy?'

The Royal 'Wee'

'What is wrong with my family?'

Liam. It's What's for Dinner.

I guess my parents do this kind of stuff just because they can.

VS. does DC

This past weekend, we headed out to DC for a little fun with the cherry blossoms and the maternal grandparents. You can view the pictures here.

Merger

We have thought long and hard about this one, and we are happy to say that we have reached a level in our relationship where we feel comfortable taking things to the next level. As of today Lila-saurus Rex and liam, per diem are moving in together. Now, I know what you are thinking... is this a wise step for us to take? A fair question, but we feel confident you will all enjoy the new format just as much, if not more. With this one site we will be sharing our trials and tribulations, joys and jealousies, together, without sacrificing the quality you have come to expect from our individual sites. So sit back and enjoy the new and improved adventures of Lila and Liam, now in stereo.
