Amy & Zach's Wedding

This weekend was Amy & Zach's wedding, it was a big family affair and a ton of fun. It started out on Friday night with the rehearsal at St. Anne's Church and rehearsal dinner at the Macaroni Grill. The bride and groom looked great and everyone had a good time. They boys were all dressed up for the festivities...

Kaden sacked out at the end of the night

The wedding day was a blast too, it started early in the morning with our hair appointments, then back to the szarawarski house for makeup and getting dressed. The morning was hazy and overcast, which then led to a few thunder storms, but the by the time we left for the church, the sky was blue and the sun shining bright. The boys did really well that day too. Sonja and Jarod took the train out to FairLawn from NYC to watch the boys. Sonja and Jarod took the boys in our car to the hotel and took care of them during the ceremony, then met us at the country club for pictures just before the cocktail hour. It continued to be a beautiful day to the very end. Sonja and Jarod had the boys in a back room during the reception while the rest of us celebrated the night away.

Out for a walk in Cliffwood Beach

One of our favorite times of the day is around 7pm when we put the boys in their bjorns and take them for a walk around our neighborhood. It's great because the boys are totally content and it allow Tom and I to get out of the house and spend some time together talking. Our neighborhood always brings us much to talk about, it is very eclectic and entertaining.

Two nights ago our walk did not disappoint... as we were rounding the corner that marks the half way point in our walk we were greeted by a neighbor we had never met before. This 20 y/o guy pulled up along side of us in his red 1984 Bronco, and started talking. It took Tom and I a few moments to catch up to him in the conversation. I can't remember exactly how the conversation started, but when he said, "I'm thinking about getting myself one of those!" we knew that it was going to be interesting. We were both a little frightened by his comment when we realized that he was talking about a baby when he said "one of those;" Tom later told me that he thought he might have to beat the guy off with the umbrella we had along with us. This guy was asking us about how it was to have a baby, he was not sure he was ready to be a father, but his girlfriend, Oh I mean fiance of 3 years, really wants one! It was such a strange conversation, he also told us his salary, as if that is justification enough to start a family. He later asked us, "how is it with two? I was thinking about getting one, maybe two..." sure buddy, because you usually have a lot of control over that.

The guy soon drove off and we continued our walk, talking and laughing about our surprise visitor. When we were almost home we were greeted by another neighbor, this time a young woman, probably 19 or 20. She was commenting on how cute the boys are and then said that she and her boyfriend, (who we had just met) were thinking of having a baby. She two was hoping to have two!!! This couple was classic!

This is one of my favorite pictures of the boys... it shows how we juggle twins, sometimes you just do whatever you can to keep them happy. :)
