I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
We had my daughter's christening the weekend before. It was wonderful. She looked so beautiful and we had a wonderful turnout to help celebrate. My sister was such a big help doing the favors and the grandparents helped out a lot, too.
Our Thanksgiving was great! We had our traditional turkey breakfast and then went got ready to go over to my parents. That's where we started out and then made our way over to my in-laws. The food was delicious and the company was great.
Afterwards, we headed home to bed and about 3 hours later I got up to go shopping at Kohls. Can you believe it? I went to Kohls and met up with my mom at 4 AM in the morning. I then went to Toys R Us an AC MOORE. My parents then took me to breakfast at a diner. By 10 AM I as walking into my home with bags and bags of christmas presents. I even bought my son's christmas present. Now, I just need to find my daughter's present.
We also put up our christmas tree. Yay!!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was ecstatic to get them up.
Then on Saturday morning we took the kids to the doctor for a follow up. All is good! After the doctors, we went to get breakfast at a local bagel shop followed by a visit to the Hallmark store for christmas ornaments.
In the afternoon, we headed to the mall and my son decided he wanted to talk to Santa about what he wants for Christmas. Yippee! I got a picture of Santa, my daughter and my son (smiling no less!).
Well, got to go...the hubby is waiting.

It's our 8th Wedding Anniversary
Well we've made it to 8 my husband and I. Yes, we have been married for eight year on 11/11/2000. Easy date to remember! So that makes 18 wonderful years together. Yes, you read right and I didn't mistype. My husband and I dated for 10 year before we married.
He also sent me flowers. A wonderful bouquet of roses in different colors. I absolutely love them. I love to stare at the flowers. They just fill me with so much joy. It really brightens up my mood.
Well, I'm making final preparations for my daughter's baptism. It's going nuts but calm. Then comes the Holidays. I need to make reservations for a sitting with the photo studio. I'm trying to get a tree skirt quilted in time for when we put up the Christmas Tree.
So much to do so little time :(
Oh well till next time.

An update before October ends
Just wanted to make sure I made at least one entry for October. All goes well in October.
I was a bit stressed for bit with planning my daughter's Christening. Finally, the date is resolved and so is the reception. I can't tell you how crazy it's been. We've been debating between going with a Hall (Elks, Mason, etc) or a restaurant. However, most restaurants and halls were booked. There was one restaurant that would have been perfect but it was booked. So we opted for another restaurant instead and the stress is over.
Now, I just need to worry about the favors. My sister is a great help with that kind of thing. She has so many ideas and she has taken it upon herself to come up with the goods. No matter what she does, I know it will be cool.
OOOO....I forgot to mention the birth of my niece. She is so beautiful. Each of my siblings have a boy as the oldest child and the girl as the youngest. At least this is the case for now. Who knows if anyone else is getting pregnant. As for me, well if it happens it happens.
I have to say I have way too many pumpkins in my house. My husband better start carving pumpkins soon or it will all be a waste.
I went with my son on his first class trip to a pumpkin picking farm. It was a lot of fun and my son was so excited. I took some pictures so my husband could see him. I know my husband would have loved to have been there.
Well until next month.

Day out with Thomas
Well, it's been an interesting September. I managed to do some more rows on a scarf I started before my daughter was born. I'm also getting ready to sew a tree skirt quilt. Hopefully I'll get it in time for Thanksgiving. I just need a weekend to do it (wish me luck).
My niece had her Baptism this month. She looked so cute in her dresses. My kids looked great, too. I managed to surprise everyone by wearing a dress in a color that is not black.
For my birthday, we went away for the weekend for our annual Day Out With Thomas. It's always fun to see my son's face when he sees Thomas. This time he wasn't scared and wanted to go on the train again. This was my daughter's first time other than when I was pregnant with her.
This time I was able to enjoy the Smorgasboard for dinner. When I was pregnant, I couldn't eat from morning sickness.
I can't believe how much fun I have with my family. I really treasure these moments.

Another update....
Okay...Okay....I know I haven't been very good at keeping my blog updated on a regular basis but here's my update.
The family went to Sesame Place and had a wonderful time. We left on a Tuesday and had planned to return on Thursday but on Wednesday afternoon it had started to rain steadily. Sesame Place has a sunny day guarantee so we had an extra day free. We decided to not go Thursday (it was cold) and go on Friday. We were able to get an extra night at the hotel.
Jack loved Sesame Place and wasn't scared of the characters. Sabrina did surprisingly well and didn't mind going in the water. We had so much fun for place so close to home. Also, that's when my son decided he wanted to start using the toilet. He's finally potty trained. YAY!!!
I decided one Sunday to have a picnic at Liberty State Park. We invited my in-laws so they can see Jack ride his bike. It was hard at first for him but then he got the hang of it. Since that Sunday, we have been going on these picnics with the in-laws as well as my sister-in-law's family, my sister, and my parents. My husband and I have taken out our bikes and my Father-in-law has taken out his bikes. It's cute to see my son go out for a ride with his Dad and Grandpa.
For Labor Day weekend, we went up to my parents place in the Catskills. We had so much have. The girls and guys split up. The girls went to fairs and flea markets while the boys went golfing. My son was so cute. He also managed to get a frog but he let it go (Thank God!).
Well that's all for now...till next time.

Never to old to learn
Well it's been over 2 months since my last post. So much has gone on these past months.
The world has welcomed my new niece into the world, my nephew graduated the 8th grade, my other niece turned 1, my other nephew had his christening, and my adorable son turned 3 years old. So needless to say we have been celebrating these past 2 months.
I've been working to clear out my space where I keep my yarn supplies so that I can get to it when I'm watching TV but my son's toys or my husband's toys keep getting in the way making everything look so cluttered. Well that is soon going to be a thing of the past. I've been reading Woman's Day magazine and it's amazing how much you can learn. So, I'm trying out some of their tips. Especially since the family will be home for the most part next week.
It's vacation week for us. We are going to take about 3 days to go to Sesame Place. We wanted to go to San Diego and visit family from both sides out there but the airfare for 4 people is astronomical. So, we decided to stay local especially since we do have a 3 month old baby.
I have to say I'm really enjoying myself with my kids and my husband. I was joking with my husband about how I make beautiful babies. He just looks at me and goes "humpf...where do I fit in". While my kids look alike, my son looks like me and my daughter looks like my husband. Don't know how they can look alike.
As for my hobbies, I'm making progress on my scarf everytime I go to do the laundry. I do this so I don't hit the Kohls while I wait for the clothes to finish in the washing machine or dryer.
Well I'm off. See you soon.

Two kids...and I'm surviving
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers.
Well, I'm proud to say I'm keeping the weight I lost off. The baby is doing well and my son is surviving. My husband has been very helpful and great during this time. I had a wonderful Mother's Day.
I've been recovering well from the c-section but it's still sore inside sometimes. What I miss the most is being able to carry my son. I want to be able to stil carry him while I can and he still lets me. He's growing so fast.
ooohhh...got to run and take care of the baby.
