Hello Blog World

I have debated about weather I should keep the blog up, I took a few months off and must say I have missed having pictures of the kids and life written down to look back on and enjoy one day. Sometimes the things I would post felt trivial, but I think they might be some of our great memories in the years to come. So we are back!! I will try to keep things up and running so you can enjoy some of the little and big events in our lives. I hope you enjoy watching our kids grow and change, find inspiration and laughter. I wish all that are reading this are doing well. Below I have posted (for the first time) 3 slide shows. The first is random shots of the kids, the next is Vincent's first birthday and last a trip we took to MN in Dec to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday. Enjoy and continue to look for more .

Falling into fall...

So I am finally trying to catch up on things, I have posted several things. Here are a few fun pictures from our backyard. We spent hours playing in the leaves, it was a great day.

Halloween '08

Here are a few pictures from Halloween. Isabella was sleeping beauty and Vincent was a chicken, the same chicken that Isabella was on her first Halloween. The costume was way to big last year or he would have worn it then. We went trick or treating to the grandparents homes and a few of our neighbors homes. I think Isabella enjoyed giving out the candy at the grandparents home more than anything else. I think we will keep things simple next year and stay home and hand out candy!!! Isabella had a halloween party at our home for a few of her friends, I hope everyone had a great time!! Enjoy the pictures!

Everyone at the party.


Friends from next door.

This I had to post because I was so proud of the pumpkin cake I made for her party. It looked beautiful when I went to bed.... to quote my husband it turned into the Tammy Faye Baker pumpkin cake overnight. All the adults at the party had a good laugh and the kids didn't care. Hope I have now given you a good laugh!!

Hitting the mummy pinata! Lots of good candy, thanks to dad!!!

Vincent unsupervised for one minute = digging in the dirt, that's my BOY!!!

Isabella had the idea to make this game for the party. She painted the wood black all by herself then Dave did the outline of the ghost and she painted it white. I was so proud of her. This is one game we will keep and have for many years. We are hoping to come up with something for the other side so we can use it even more.

Bobbing for apples!

We made pumpkin pizza.

Arts and crafts.

Privacy

I have taken some time off from the blogging world to decide if I want to continue with our blog. I love that I have been able to capture some memories for future reference and I hope that everyone has enjoyed our blog. But I am concerned about our privacy...so I am considering going private. I would love input from anyone who reads our blog, esp. those of you that have chosen to go private, even if you read this blog and I don't personally know you. Thanks in advance for your input. I have posted a few pictures from some of the happening in the Palmisano household.
