Oh! looky, how cute!

Family Pictures

Here are the pictures we had taken over Thanksgiving. Isaac and Ainsley were both a little grumpy and not very cooperative. . . but I still love the pictures!

My wonderful husband

For anyone who is worried about me way out here in Connecticut- you can stop worrying. My sweet husband is taking great care of me. I love him so much. This morning I called him from school upset, because I had just discovered our first treatment didn't work out. Less than 2 hours later I had a dozen red roses delivered to my work! I am one lucky girl!!!!!!!!! I love you Jared!!!!!

This is for you Mom

Tonight when it was time for Isaac to go to sleep, I asked if I could rock him. He had a rough day today and I wanted a few minutes with him to myself. I was trying to get Ainsley asleep too, so Mike offered to rock him, and Isaac wanted "mommy to rock-a-bye" him.

I took him in to rock and he said "Mom can you sing me a song?" Kind of brought tears to my eyes, and brought back lots of memories. Memories of Lindsey and I saying "will you sing me a song?" "One more song" "One MORE song"!

It took two favorites (Angel lullaby and You are my sunshine) and he was out. I kept singing a few more songs though, just for myself! Such a sweet little boy, and I love sweet moments that make his two year old tantrums all worth while!

Halloween and More

We took Isaac on his first trick or treat adventure! As luck would have it my camera was set in the wrong mode (oops!). I am going to redo pictures when everyone is feeling a little better.

I have had a horrible sore throat for a week now. Yesterday I was starting to feel a little better, but today it's back and in full force! Ainsley has just had a runny nose. More snot than I ever thought possible in a person so small!! Isaac, as always, was hit the worst. He has had a fever, fatigue, runny nose, his cough has started today. He went to bed at nine last night and I woke him up at one this afternoon just to have him drink some juice. He has just been relaxing the rest of the day. . . what's left of it anyway!

Hope everyone else had a very Happy Halloween!

Gift cards would be good since we have to fly with what we get

I will have to have Jared get on if he can think of anything else, but he wants

Works Like Magic

Thank you EVERYONE for my birthday gifts. Loved all of them. I used my gift card the day I got it :)

Lindsey and Jared -

The peeler is AMAZING. Peels like butter! Well if butter did peel, I am sure this is how it would feel! The can opener works like a gem. Saturday I was trying to open some jars and struggling. Then a light went off. . . use my opener. I opened my jar with ease!!! Sylvia thought it was the coolest thing, and wants one now.
