Cole's Cold

I mentioned that Cole had gotten sick before we left. Whenever he gets any respiratory illness, he always ends up on a nebulizer. This time, I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of him while he was getting one of his treatments. He just looked so cute laying on daddy's chest cuddling with his lamb!

A trip for me and my boys

Earlier this month, the boys and I hopped on a plane and headed to Jason's mom's in South FL for a quick trip. We did so much while we were there: parks, playgrounds, walks, the beach, dinners out, visits with great grandparents and shopping! It was a wonderful getaway and we are still having a hard time adjusting to how cold it is back here.

Playing catch up

I hate that I am so behind on my blog right now, but things have been very crazy here. I took the kids on a little get away to FL to have a break and enjoy the sunny weather. But, prior to leaving, I had a stomach bug and Cole ended up with a cold. While we were there, Cole shared his cold with Chase. When we got back, I came home to a sick husband. To say the least, it has been a sick Villano household over the last few weeks. With the holidays coming, I am going to do my best to keep my posts up! I intend to post pictures from our FL trip shortly.

At Last!!!

All I can say is that it may not have been the prettiest game I have ever watched, but it was truly monumental! Jason and I sat in the stands on Saturday night screaming louder than ever before as Georgia Tech finally defeated Florida State. I say finally b/c it hasn't happened since 1975...yes, I said 1975! And, we were there to witness it firsthand. It was so much fun and the celebration continued for quite some time. Luckily it was the same day as Chase's last baseball game, so I had my camera on me to document the post-game flooding of the field.

A Season to Remember

This past weekend marked the end of the third season of sports for Chase. To say the least, it was the best season so far! I just loved watching him play baseball and I know that he loved playing. He loved it so much that he was mad at me when I mentioned that Saturday was his last game. However, he ended the season with a bang, with multiple great hits and some great defensive plays as well. The moms were even calling him the team's power hitter...makes me smile just typing it :) After the game, the coach presented Chase with his very first trophy (soccer just gives them medals at this age). He couldn't stop talking about it and even took it with him to spend the night at Nana and Papa's house that night. Now we just wait till Spring for baseball to start again...can't wait!

Halloween Activities

Somehow, every year, Halloween seems to go on for a week. And, this year was no different. One of our neighbors threw a Halloween party for the kids on the weekend before Halloween, Chase had a fall costume party at school and then, finally, there was the actual trick-or-treating on Halloween night. Since I am so behind on my blogging, I am going to post a blend of pictures from the events below...
