Today all of the women from church who have had babies in the last year got together for a photo shoot. There are about four or five babies missing but here is our baby bunch. Most of them were born within 4 or 5 months of each other!

SEVEN months old
Livy girl turned seven months old last week! She is such a joy. She's still only got one tooth. She learned to army crawl last month. She can sit up all by herself now. And yesterday she started to crawl on all fours. She LOVES her brother Johnny. Usually he is the only one who can make her laugh. She is such a good baby, I just love love love my baby girl.

Johnny's latest obsession is ocean animals. It's all he talks about, it's what he pretends to be all day, it's what he colors over and over and over. But lately I've been watching him color these animals and rather than being a giant scribble, the animals actually look like what he's drawing. So I had to document it for posterity.

Are You Ready For THIS?
That was easily one of the FUNNEST nights of my life! Before I go on and on and on about our INCREDIBLE night I first have to thank 1.-Crystal for inviting me to come 2.-Danny for totally hooking us up and 3.-Donnie for picking out and buying our tickets, can you believe that?!!!!
What a blast. Colby O'Donis and Natasha Bedingfield opened the concert and they were super awesome! By the time Natasha was done I was sad and didn't want her to leave. I think I would like to be a rock star in my next life. She looked like she was having so much fun!
The New Kids put on such a crazy fun concert! I had no idea how much fun it would be to dance and scream to songs I knew 15 years ago!
Their play list included:
I'll be your boyfriend
The Right Stuff
Favorite Girl
Cover Girl-MY favorite, sung by Donnie
If You Go Away
Always stay the same
Jordan sang a few of his singles
Tonight
Click Click Click
Step by Step
THE ENCORE (best EVER)
Hanging Tough-Paul Pierce came out with the NBA Finals trophy and they broke out into "We are the Champions"
I don't think they have THAT at the rest of the concerts!!! The New Kids are obsessed with Boston and Donnie, my favorite, is the BIGGEST Celtics fan out there
Summer Time
Ready to go P-A-R-T-Y
The train ride to the concert was a blast. We saw this girl and were instant friends. I love Donnie too! I love you too hubby.
Up the escalator to our seats!
Natasha Bedingfield, love her!
Colby O'Donis
Oh, my gosh, here they come!
Ahhhhhh!!!! I had to stop jumping up and down to take this picture
Our SWEET tickets. We found out that Donnie Wahlberg himself picked out and bought them. More on that later...
And here they are, sweet outfits, sweet moves, sweet concert!
Crystal remembers this exact scene from the last New Kids concert she went to, Jordan singing "Baby I Believe in You", no shirt, wind in his face and lights behind him. 15 years later he still looks pretty good with that shirt off!
This was the funnest encore I've ever seen. The fans went crazy. They are so proud of their Celtics and we are so proud of their GM!
WEEEEEE Are the champions, my friends!
So when the concert was over, we went underground with our back stage passes and waited to be told where to go. We were told to go to the Legends Lounge where the New Kids would be greeting their family, friends and fans. We saw Jordan's wife and mom, we were sitting a few seats away from them. We saw Joey's cute wife and two kids, we saw Danny and his family and Jonathan and his family. And then we went to a cocktail table and met Donnie's two very good friends (Crystal recognized them from the Celtics games. Donnie is at every single game with these two guys) So we totally named dropped, "Hi, I'm Crystal AINGE and I'm Danny AINGE'S niece, is Donnie coming tonight?" They told us how much they loved Danny and then that Donnie was not coming but invited us to Nebo's Pizza after the Lounge, Donnie would be there. Um...we would love to but it's 1:00 AM and we have families to get back to. So we took stalker pictures of Jonathan, he was probably having a panic attack with all the people around him and went and found Joey. We didn't really care to meet Danny and Jordan was not there. So we went and found Joey and yes, named dropped again. Chatted for a minute and got our picture.
So cute. He was totally the Justin Timberlake of the 80's.
Jonathan. Not so into the fans. He told his parents and rest of his family to just meet him in the corner so they could leave. We just left him alone.
As we were leaving the lounge a very very drunk man saw me taking a picture an started some mall talk. We were like, yea yea yea, you're drunk, leave us alone and go back to the bar. He asked if we wanted his picture and we said, "why the heck would we want your picture?" THEN he told us he was Donnie's oldest brother and we were like , OHHHH, yes yes, lets take a picture. He called us the Angel girls and wanted to talky talk all night but we finally got him to shut up and left.
And then....just as we were walking out the door....I saw....DONNIE!!! Just him, all alone, no gobs of girlie fans all over him. He had come afterall!!!!! I literally yelled, Oh my gosh, it's Donnie!!! He looked up and then Crystal did her fabulous name dropping and he melted. He LOOOOVES Danny so he gave us both hugs and asked how are seats were, that he had wanted to put us in a good place where we could see the whole concert. I'm thinking "holy cow, he really DID pick out our tickets". I just kept saying, "Donnie, it was amazing" "Donnie, you've still got the moves!" "Seriously Donnie, it was the funnest concert I've ever been to". He kissed his hand and put it on our faces and walked into the lounge. And then we went nuts! We were so tired and our feet and back hurt and we didn't even care that it took an hour and a half to get home because we MET DONNIE!!
And that was it! The funnest night ever ended with the most fabulous, serendipitous moment ever!

Boston-Day One
I'm finally here!! I'm in Wellesley, MA at the Ainges beautiful home visiting my cousin, Crystal (Austin's Wife) for a few days. Our first day was SO much fun! We did some shopping at H&M, got some new makeup, bought some bandaids for my huge blisters from my new shoes, had clam chowder and smoothies at Quincy Market, walked some of the Freedom Trail and saw Paul Revere's home, went to Little Italy and bought some cookies for Danny at Mike's Pastry and came home to one of Michelle's YUM meals. Heaven.I am so in love with this city. It's big and beautiful and full of great things to see and do but not as crazy and intimidating as NYC.
Tonight is the NKOTB concert and Danny told us last night that we have passes to hang out with "the guys" in their locker room before the concert! OH MY GOSH!!! We are so nervous, what on earth are we going to say to these 40 yr. old guys?
Crystal and I
The steps in front of the "Boston Legal" building on the way to Fanuel Hall
We decided to sit on top of the tables so we could people watch
Paul Revere's Home, built in the 1600's
We couldn't resist...
The Union Oyster House is the oldest restaurant in the country
A Holocaust memorial. It was made of six glass columns with tiny numbers covering them all. Each number was the "name" of a victim. It was so sad to read the quotes. The one in this picture made me cry. It was a quote from a woman from one of the camps that said something along the lines of...her friend had found a raspberry one day in the camp and kept it in her pocket for days. Imagine a life where your only possession in life is a single raspberry. I still can't believe this actually happened and it wasn't too long ago.
