What a blur!

These past few weeks have been crazy preparing for the holidays, taking a long weekend away & spending time with family. I have a lot to post & will hopefilly get to it soon. In the meantime, I'm putting away christmas items while I still have the energy! Happy holidays everyone!!!

Having a blast!

My hubby & I are having a wonderful time relaxing & enjoying time together. More information & slideshows coming shortly!

Is everyone ready for the holidays??? I still having wrapping to finish along with a few homemade presents to do with my son.

Our baby girl loves this mobile with the contrast under the umbrellas & beautiful animals!

Not our idea week

This week started off with our son waking up at 4 am throwing up all over the bed. As I sat with him until mid-morning, he finally got a short nap, threw up some more & was fine after a long nap. The poor guy was starving but couldn't eat or keep anything down until that evening. I felt so bad for him. How none of us managed to not get sick is beyond me!


Our baby girl is smiling so much with us these days. I love seeing her face light up when she sees us. She's also been starting a schedule now where she goes to sleep around 11 pm or midnight & wakes up around 9 am. She even fell asleep in her jumper for the first time which she's getting accustomed to.


We have most our Christmas shopping done (with the exception of a few) but haven't been able to get a tree yet. Slowly but surely I'm getting the presents wrapped. The ice storm last weekend ruined those plans. We're crossing our fingers for this weekend.

What to do when you have an ice storm?

Thankful for my family

We spent Thanksgiving with my hubby’s family where we had a delicious dinner & the kids kept everyone busy.

After Thanksgiving, we visited with my relatives. It was so surreal seeing my cousins grown up with families of their own & their kids playing with ours! We definitely had fun though.

Who hasn’t had a pizza night with family? Unfortunately our daughter had to go to the ER after not keeping anything down for 10 hours. She was fine but it definitely worried us. We found out later that she actually developed a bug along with severe acid reflux (so we had to change her eating habits) instead of the original hospital diagnosis. She’s doing well & adjusting to her new eating habits.

We had a ball taking our kids & my nephew to the mall play area. They were both so adorable!

What’s more serene than a cat in a secret hideout?

We met my mom & sister at the mall for some fun.

Our baby girl & her first habit!

Today’s ice storm gave our son the opportunity to experience stepping on ‘crunchy grass’. He loved stomping on it & throwing ‘snowballs’ at Daddy for the short time they were outside. Hopefully more ice scenery pics coming soon.
