This morning while I was getting ready, Gillian was exploring in my closet. She first pulled out a pair of flip flops. She put them on and walked to me and said “I a jumping frog!” Then she jumped across the room. She got bored with those flip flops and went back to the closet.… Continue reading Shoes and the man
Today we went to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for lunch. We met Aunt Betty, Uncle Joe, Uncle Bob, Aunt Trish, and the cousins. We had lunch and the kids went outside to play. Sammie only stayed outside for a little bit and ended coming inside to play with Gillian. The girls decided to watch Cinderella.… Continue reading War
This morning Daddy and I were getting ready in the bathroom. John came in and said “Good morning!” He didn’t want to get changed yet, so I told him to brush his teeth. He climbed up on the toilet, leaned over and grabbed his toothpaste and toothbrush from the sink. I went back to doing… Continue reading Getting ready
First thing this morning John says “Do you know what today is? It’s the greatest day ever!” After a few questions he told me “It’s cookie day!

I was working from home again (no power at the office) and the weather was getting worse… Continue reading Don’t Worry
Hurricane Sandy ruined the kids Halloween this year. After the hurricane hit, the Governor postponed Halloween until Monday, November 5th. We still dressed the kids up on October 31st, even if it was to run errands. They had fun dressing up and we put smiles on a lot of people’s faces that day. So… Continue reading Belated Halloween
Gillian has grown up a lot over the past week. Daddy and I are not sure if it was because we had nine days home with the kids so we were able to see it or if she is just at that stage. She is talking a lot more. She is more independent. She used… Continue reading Gillian and her book
Well it’s been almost a week since my last blog post. As many of you know we were hit with a hurricane on Monday, October 29th.
