Ok, so after being gone for about a month, I've returned! Brighit was born on March 6th, 13 days early! We were in the middle of moving and I had done a lot that day and that's probably what brought it on, which is just fine with me. We are doing well adjusting to being a family of 4. Brighit does have a health issue, she has PKU. It's very rare and basically she is missing an enzyme that allows

Finally, we got some decent snow!! About 4 inches of wet, good packing snow. Unfortunately the hubby had to fly to Conn. this morning for an auction so it was just this 34 week preggo mommy and the little one out in the snow. It takes enough effort to get ready for snow in without being pregnant, but having to get dressed, wearing clothes that don't really work for the snow because that's all you

Today our country inaugurated a new president. Not only is it a great day for the country, but it is a GIANT leap in the way people are treated in this country. I have faith in this country and in the fact that my vote counted and that our election system actually worked this time. Congratulations to Barak and his family and to this country for showing that we want change and we mean it!

Sorry about the lack of posts...being pregnant just wears me out and I have no desire to do anything. I've got 8 weeks and counting left until the big day and I can't wait. I feel as if my tummy is HUGE, even though I know it isn't. Colleen has done a bunch of cute things, but I don't feel like typing them out right now. She is just starting to wake up so I'll be on mommy duty soon. Living in

I don't have any pictures to share, but a lot of things have gone on!Thursday-Hubby went to work and we went to the neighbors that afternoon to play. Came back at 5:30 and the house was 60 degrees!! I turned up the heat and waited, still nothing, so around 9:45 I called Dan and told him what was going on. He called out of work and came and got us and we stayed the night at a friends house. Friday

Christmas started later in our house since my parents were a little late getting here. We hadn't put any of the presents under the tree since the cats would have gotten into them. I made Cranberry and Cream Cheese stuffed French toast...YUMM!! for breakfast and we just hung out for the morning like always. This year was special because of Colleen and next year will be more special because it will

Not sure what happened to the pictures....silly digital stuff I'm sureYesterday after talking about it for a couple of days we got Colleen a real bed. Mind you it's a toddler bed because she is still so small, but we wanted to make the transition early enough so she really knows that she is a big girl and not a baby. She isn't afraid of it, and actually likes it, but it's still a little weird for

Just wanted to be the first to let you guys know that all my Christmas items have been reduced to 50% off!!!! I want them to go to a great home! Because I will be closing my shop after the Holidays (between taking 2 online classes, raising Colleen, AND having Brighit arrive sometime in March I just won't have time) I want to clean out my shop before the holidays!

The hubby has been home a bunch this week so I haven't been at the computer much. His schedule at work keeps changing, which is a good thing, b/c it has given him some time off this week and then he's got some of next week off b/c of Christmas. Fortunately he's salary so it doesn't matter. I'll have my shop of the week posted tomorrow b/c the hubby is off again on Friday!! That is a really good

All it's doing is raining here. There is even a call for snow tonight!!! It was nice yesterday...61 outside and not raining so we could go to the park. Colleen wore herself out playing with Steven and Olivia but she still didn't sleep all night. I'm not sure what's going on. Could be bad dreams, teething....oh well. She still goes down well for her naps, so that's good, even though she doesn't

So I totally forgot that today was Friday, even though I paid bills this morning!My shop of the week for this week is Gabby's Designs! She has the cutest little crocheted hair clips, bows, etc for little and big girls alike! She opened in October and I can't believe that she hasn't had a sale yet! If my little one's hair was thick enough to wear a clip then I would definitely get one of these
