The PianoMan

Saturday night Anthony and I had a hot date at the casino. Someone at work had given us tickets to see Billy Joel in concert.

The casino was packed!! We had tried to make dinner reservations well in advance but everything was booked. We ended up going to Bubba's BBQ for dinner. It wasn't anything to write home about. Anthony had a turkey Reuben that was definitely not a Reuben, it was dry and had mustard on it.
I had chicken fried steak which was just OK. I mostly just ate the potatoes.

The concert stated at 8 so we headed into the Arena about 7:30. We had two free food/drink coupons so Anthony had a beer and I got water. And no I'm not pregnant, i don't like beer.

We had fantastic seats, we were eight rows up from the stage!!!! Billy Joel played straight from 8- 10:30 with no break. A few of the favorite numbers he played were " River of Dreams, " We Didn't Start the Fire", " Anthony's Song" ( which is the moving out song), " Only the Good Die Young," " Piano Man" and many others. I even danced around with the lady next to me, don't even know her name but she asked me to dance.

The lights were really neat and his baby grand spun around. The whole show was really great!!! He didn't play "Uptown Girl" which I was hoping he'd play, but maybe he doesn't play it since he divorced Christy Brinkly.

Besides the concert we did a lot of errands to get ready for the BBQ. Anthony has a new treat he makes now, ill write a separate blog about that.
Anthony put together Callum's house for the weekend and did lots of work outside in the heat!!

That's all.

Good Afternoon Everyone.

Kristin here. Anthony is in NJ on business ( i told him to visit the zoo) and Chelsea and I are holding the fort down here. Its a rainy Tuesday day, I am working from home and its thundering and lighting bad, Chelsea is under the table.

SO if you are in need of a laugh, funny DH story coming your way...
Daddy Henry was at Walmart on Friday picking up some frames for little callum's pictures. He was parked in the handicap spot with his handicap tag in clear view. When he got back into the car he removed the tag ( he stated these are the instructions) and backed out. An old lady passed the truck and told DH he had a nerve parking there....clearly she didn't see his sticker as he took it down. So Daddy Henry chased her around the walmart parking lot in his truck...HAHAHA

We have escalators at our new office and they seem to break down a lot. Why do people freak out when they go out of service...an escalator out of service is just stairs isn't it??? Why are people afraid of escalators? and why don't escalators ever curve like stairs do, why aren't there spiral escalators? Sorry I sound like Jared...I better start talking about food now...wah wah wah.

Anthony and I are excited for Callum to visit next week, and of course Jared and Amanda too. We will be featuring some very patriotic outfits for the 4th in honor of Callum, Callum is very patriotic!!

That's all. Later on today I'll have hot dogs for supper then Ill catch up on John and Kate plus 8 and probably some Bridezillas and read "Gone Baby Gone" so I can discuss with DH and Hernie. Then Ill call Callum to see what he is wearing today.

TATA all.

Switchflops

Oh hello everybody. Just a quick hello.

We have been keeping busy looking at our pictures of Callum and calling him to listen to him gurgle. We can't wait to see him again. We were going to ride up Saturday but we figure Amanda is still healing and Im sure the new parents are tired...but we'll be back soon Callum don't worry. Auntie and Uncle bring you a present too!

I go to consigbnment shops a lot. Usually I go up to Uptown COnsignment but its to far away now that our office moved so I had to find a new venue....I looked online and found a shop in Mystic so I checked it out. Its called Chic She or something weird like that.

Its two stories and so cool!!! The woman was really nice and took all my ( well really mom's) things. She sells all kinds of chicos, INC, abercrombie, coldwater creek, etc etc.

She also sells a few "new" things like my new flip flops.... check out this website

They are cheaper in the store than online. Its a great idea yes? You can change the strap to match each outfit. If you look at the straps they have a " kristin, annie and Amanda strap" its fate.

So who wants to come visit me to go shopping, Im thinking June would love this place because she love shoes. Then we'll go across the way to "Twice as Nice" and buy Callum and Miley some things.

Happy Birthday Callum

Hi Everyone, Uncle Anthony & Auntie Kristin here. As promised here are some pictures of our new nephew Callum. The entire album is also posted on the right side of our blog so click away. Ill also email out individual pictures. Let me know if you want the album emailed to you.

We were so glad to be in Maine for the arrival. The picture of Amanda and I with the water bottle was 5 minutes post water breakage :-)

It was a great week. Callum is so handsome and perfect. We love him so much already, its a great feeling!!!!We can't wait to come see him again!!!! Anthony is so excited to visit again he purchased an easy pass last night!!!!

Hello Everyone.

Kristin here filling in for Twon. He is busy on his next batch of Blueberry Beer. He wants to have it ready for Callum to try in July.

Friday night David and Stephanie asked us to babysit Gabe while they went to an art opening. Anthony and I arrive around 6 and had Boston Market for dinner with Gabe. For a two year old he has a very good appetite and enjoyed chicken, spinach, green beans and "muffin." After dinner we played tunnel and bowled and had fun. When it was time for pajamas and "snuggling" we watched an episode of Old School Sesame Street from 1974 I think. I loved it. I would like to buy the whole box set!!! David and Stephanie got home around 9 and Anthony and I headed home. Please note the picture of Gabe in his frog boots carrying Anthony's phone around!

Saturday was a very special day. We got to go to Daddy Henry's Transfer Station, not to be confused with dump...We have been promising DH we'd help him take some old TV's and a Micorowave to the dump so we headed up to Mass on Saturday to help him out. It was very hot and DH did have a flat tire so the day started on a bad foot. But we got to go to the TRANSFER STATION and for lunch at Maui. Then we helped him with a few more things around the house and i did NOT get the ice cream I wanted.....hmmmm. Ill take a rain check. But I think DH was happy we got some stuff done. Now he just has to deal with his tire.

Yesterday I had a bridal shower. But before I left for that we went and got our clothes line. Anthony put it up in the backyard. Tomorrow I am going to wash sheets and hang them outside to dry. While I was at the shower Twoniie cut Chelsea's hair, put up the clothesline, went grocery shopping, took out the trash, made a pasta salad, and missed me....did I forget anything Twonie?

There is still no baby Callum news, but our Callum plant did bloom....so maybe Callum is about to bloom?

FANS...

Hi fans, I promise to do a blog tonight with pictures. We had a busy weekend and were just to tired last night!
Stay tuned.

Concerts Begin

Oh Hello.

Our summer of concerts began last night. I had surpised Anthony with tickets on his birthday to see Alison Krauss at Mohegan Sun. She played last night with Robert Plant, who I didn't know but he is from Led Zepliln, he is from DH's time. The concert was very good. If you go to
http://www.robertplantalisonkrauss.com/site.php?content=store
you can listen to their CD, I am listening to it as I type this. My favorites are #2 and #3 and #6.

We sat in the nose bleed section, we were literally the 2nd from the last row, we were so high up Twonie was a little scared. The two ladies behind us LOVED Robert Plant and screamed the whole time, at one point one of them got so excited she kicked Anthony in the back really hard...so I slapped her.

We will be going back to Mohegan Sun on June 28th to see BILLY JOEL!!!! We are very excited about that. Someone at work gave Anthony tickets, gave them to us, they are like $250 tickets! I wonder if we'll be close enough to get sweat on??

Then in September I am going to see New Kids on the Block with 6 other girls. Dad, New Kids are going to be bigger than the Beatles!!
