Mozart & Gary Fong Eat your heart out!

My lil' love is a super amazing phenomenon. She's a miracle child that plays better than Mozart! She learned from Gary Fong's video piano lessons. ;) Enjoy a good laugh on us!

It's Raining, It's Pouring, But We Are Still Having Fun!

Today is the first day of a predicted week of rain, yes that's New England for you. But, I do love the summer rain, when it's warm enough to go out and play in the puddles. Layla had a blast splashing all over the driveway. Bella was not as thrilled about it. Her banana was getting wet, don't mess with this child's food. I caught a mid- jump puddle splash of Layla with my little cheap canon digital. Enjoy!

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC IN BRAINTREE!

What? I know that's what you're thinking about my title, but I'll explain. My backyard has become a National Geographic episode. So the other day the fam was BBQ'in in the yard. We could hear chirping from the tree above. We watched and saw 2 robins waiting to land in their nest, mouths full of worms. But because we were sitting there, they were scared. James didn't believe me that there was a nest full of babies, so he climbed the tree to see. And because I couldn't resist, I climbed the tree too, skirt and flip flops didn't stop me! The poor babies were crying and hungry so I made everyone move the BBQ inside so the robins would feed the babies. So as I was going up our stairs, I noticed that you had a perfect view of the robins feeding the worms to the babies, I called everyone out to watch. It was incredible, a true National Geographic moment. The kiddies learned first hand about the birds & bees. And to top it off, the following day we watched snails crawl down the side of our stairs. (Grandma brought sea snails over from her ocean home). Watch out Bindi Erwin, here comes The Federico Girls. If you don't know who Bindi is, google it! She's famous.

Read this and then sit back and reflection... I think it just might change your life! Thanks to Joe Photo for putting this on his blog, he always has great insight. The picture is what I live my life for!


There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real! When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been opened for us.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go onward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

-Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away!

A budding artist.

So for Christmas Grandma got Layla a real digital camera (per our request). Grandma searched high and low for the coveted Fisher Price Digital Camera in Pink. You see, Layla loves helping Daddy and Mommy take pictures. But the problem is she wants to hold our very expensive cameras all by herself. Very scary for us. So I saw a commercial for a REAL digital camera that is unbreakable... the commercial has a tot dropping the camera down the stairs. I could totally see Layla doing that. So our little Layla has developed into a budding artist. She tells us to smile and where to stand. She still hasn't mastered looking into the eye piece, but lucky for her she can look through the large screen. And now the littlest Fed, Bella, is starting to shoot with the pink digital. It's a family affair. Love it! Here are a few of her photos. Keep in mind the quality is very low, after all it's a toy!

Ooohhh, how cute. It's so true!

Your Love Life is Like The Princess Bride

"Since the invention of the kiss, there have only been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind." For you, love is like a fairy tale - albeit a fairly twisted one. You believe romance is all about loyalty, fate, and a good big of goofy fun. Your love style: Idealistic yet quirky Your Hollywood Ending Will Be: Perfectly romantic

OOOOUUCCHHHbreaking them.

Well, maybe some of you know this and maybe you don't, but it is James' lifelong pledge and oath to hurt himself at least once a day, if he's feeling up to it, possibly twice or more a day. He is by far THE MOST ACCIDENT prone person I have ever met. Baby G comes in a close second, but she is only 2 and has an off sense of equilibrium. Who knows James' excuse. He can do amazing physical skills with balance and poise. He has a reaction time of a leaping spider, so why so many falls, slips, spills, bumps, trips, oh the list could go on and on? I feel bad, but I don't even flinch when I hear "OOOUUUUCCCHHH!!!" You think I am kidding right? Since last year James has....
- Totaled our car.
- Sliced his thumb almost completely off when cutting a bagel
- Sprained his finger, knuckle, and thumb. All at different times.
- Fallen down our stairs at least a dozen times (Not joking, a full flight of stairs)
- Countless mystery injuries from the day job.
- Sliced his hand open twice from playing with our adorable 8 lb. puppy.
- Sliced his elbow and knuckles open on our plastered wall in the hall way.
- Got a car door slammed on his leg. (My bad)
- Countless crouch shots by our little harmless girls. (Hope we can have more)
- Multiple toe jams to nearly breaking them.
- A few nose bangs, usually by a child's head.
- A couple of turned ankles.

The list could go on and on and on. These are just a few that come to my immediate memory. I know you still think I am joking. So I captured yet another James catastrophe on camera. By the way this one's not on my list. But hey, some how he pulls thru without even a doctor's visit. And I love him!
