After trying unsuccessfully to put up several pictures today on my blog - I GIVE UP! I finally have some time to do this and of course...not working. I will try again later this afternoon and will just have to spend my free time now browsing others blogs.
Some updates:
My mom is doing really well, she had surgery and has a bit of a long recovery time but we are all helping her out and she's just going nuts stuck home, so we try and make sure someone visits everyday.
I had a procedure done for my back that unfortunately was unsuccessful. It is a cortisone injection that we are going to try again. Sometimes it takes 3 injections to get relief.
Mr.C had his wisdom teeth out on Friday and is doing really well. He drove me nuts as a patient because he can not sit or lay in bed all day, he wasn't supposed to talk and he was on his phone, working from home, etc. He is one of those people who if you tell him he can't do something, he will prove you wrong to the extreme! But he is doing better everyday.
Girls are doing very well. E is having her CMTs at school and she is such a perfectionist that she has been obsessing about it a bit. L has completely backtracked with potty training. Cries and throws a tantrum when I try to put underpants on her. She was doing so well for a while...I'm not too concerned though, I know she'll get it eventually!
I hired someone to help me with decorating the beach house. I just had so much going on and I really want everything ready for the summer, so I thought I could use some help. I'm still very, very involved but its been really helpful to have someone else to do this with me.
Our friends with the baby girl who I wrote about earlier are doing wonderful. She came home and we attended a party for her over the weekend. She is a miracle and so beautiful. She has a feeding tube that they taught her parents how to give it to her but other than that she is great! She had open heart surgery that was successful and she is doing so well. Can you imagine as a mother being told your baby has a 40% chance of survival and then to be able to bring her home and have everything work out so well? I am just so happy for them.
We will be going to Italy at the end of August for Mr.C's twin brothers wedding. Their dad has a villa in Tuscany so we will be staying there. I am so excited. We decided to stay for two weeks because we are bringing the girls and we want to do all the touristy things with them. The wedding festivities are going to be a weeklong event so it is going to be quite a good time I am sure!
Will try and post some pictures later of our recent trips and events. Hopefully I will have better luck!

Wow you've been busy!! Glad that everything seems to be going well, hope things get better with your back. Was worried when you were going to return!! So glad you're back.
Now that was a packed post! My Landon is a miracle and we can't believe he made it home either after 52 days in the hospital! I want to go to Italy with you!!!
PS thanks for the Reese compliment! I love her too!!
Lots going on with you! Hope your back feels, gets better. Wow, Italy, I'm jealous, can't seem to get enough of that place. :)
I am glad your mom is doing well! Italy sounds fabulous. Please share some beach house pics. with us when the decorating is done. I have always wanted to decorate a beach house. Hope your back heals soon! :)
Hello Connecticut! I stumbled upon your blog recently and was astonished at the similarities between the two of us. We share the same penchant for holiday baking, absolutely divine husbands, and get this - the *same* birthday! Thank you for the delightful posts - they are fun to read. (The tale of the American Girl Party was just too fun!) At any rate, I'm at thepreppyplanet.blogspot.com/ or PreppyPrincess.com (our little startup we are *finally* getting underway,) should you like to stop by for a visit. :-)
Best,
TP
