Ever Ever After

I have been waiting for this day for a long time. It is so good to see my brother so happy again. It was a beautiful wedding full of happiness. I am so glad to have Tori in our family.

{ Have i told you lately that olive you?}

I found some old pictures tucked away in an album. They were so fun to look at, it was fun going down Memory Lane. I used to live in Boston from 1993-1997. It was wonderful. I really had the time of my life......

Anyway, these pictures reminded me of a year ago when we watched my sis- in-law's wedding video. Sophie told me on the way home that she wished I still looked like I did in the video. I told her that I did until I had her.

Hence, { then and now } well, I decided that I am turning over a new leaf. I am going to take better care of me. I will drink more water, less diet coke, I will sleep more and exercise more. I will make my health a priority a bit more. After all, I owe it to myself, right?? If I write it down in blogdom, I will be more apt to do it!

{ For Tecia Part 2 }

By the way, I am keeping it real, the playroom is usually a mess like in the photo, so I left it as is!

The t's : Charlie and I had a really, really great time!
We actually learned a lot!
The sand was lots of fun!
The water and sand was really, really fun!
The dinosaurs were cool.
Mommy made a new friend there! { nice to meet you, Tara! }


The - 's : Charlie's cute friend, Max was terrified. I felt so bad.
This actually led to a plus though because we took him home and got
Sophie after school and went back. { passes are good all day} Then
we had yummy icecream at Thanksgiving Point.



Can't wait to go back!!!

This one's for Tecia!

My friend asked for a post with pictures of my house. So..... here you go, Tecia.
This is the upstairs only. I will add the downstairs soon.

Me aNd My LittLe GuY!!

I waited a long time for this little friend. I went through surgery, fertility drugs, a miscarriage and other unpleasantness to get this kid. Can I just say that he was more than WORTH the wait? He is sweet beyond words, cute as can be and we have lots of fun together. I am so very grateful I never gave up on getting him here.

I love that when I am having a rough day he says to me " I know what will make you feel better" and kisses my hand. I love that he wraps his little arms around my neck and hugs me. I love that he calls his sister " sissy" and loves his Dad. He is a joy!
