A Little of This, A Little of That. . .

Here are a few of the photos from my phone and life.

These are a few of my wonderful RI girls and baby Tate.

This is a lovely fall/red shoe day. Side note. These are my wedding shoes. I still get millions of compliments every time I wear them, even five years later.

Adam and I headed to Virginia for Thanksgiving 2012. Adam has two brothers who live there. We took the adventure on a bus. It was LONG. But, we didn't have to drive. Other than a few bits of drama along the way, things worked out fine.
We had a quick layover in NYC, so we ran to Rockefeller Center to see the Christmas spectaculars.

the famous ice skating rink. it's much smaller than I imagined.

ever wonder how they decorate that giant tree? scaffolding.

Many hours later, and a stop at the Panera Bread bathroom for a puke break, we made it to Union Station in DC.

The next several days were filled with family, fun and hilarious conversations.

At the request of Adam, I will now share a cute Gabe (see photo below) story.
Gabe had an eyelash on his cheek which I pulled off, he asked for the eyelash and stepped out in the hall. This is what I hear next.
"I wish. . .I wish. . ." Gabe walked back into the room I'm in and said, "what kind of dog is Scooby Doo?".
I replied, " a great dane".
Gabe walked back into the hall and said, "I wish for a great dane. . . Dang it!!"
I asked, "what happened Gabe?" He replied, "I dropped my eyelash, now my wish won't come true!"
I said, "sure it will, don't worry". To which he replied, "no it won't, every time I make a wish with my eyelash it never comes true". Then he walked out of the room.

We took another long bus ride back to RI. We were literally one minute from missing our transfer bus from NYC to RI. Now we are back to reality (except for Adam who doesn't have school and plays video games all day, jealous).
