More Travels

Christmas is almost here. We are preparing for the trip this upcoming week.  We are looking forward to seeing family and celebrating our daughters first Christmas with them.  We hope for smooth driving and no winter advisories like we have been having this week.

Food Poisoning

Last night went well with our little girl, however, the man of the house was very sick with food poisoning.  Oh so sad!  No worries, he is well hydrated and has been resting all day.  He also got to watch Superman Returns today for his "sick day" activity!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

We put up our Christmas Tree last night.  When our little girl woke up this morning she was amazed at how sparkly it was!   The winter snow adds a beautiful back drop to our red, gold, and burnt orange Christmas Tree.  The fireplace is a magnificent accessory to the teal, gold, and green decor embellishing it!  Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!  (at least until Christmas and then it can be spring :) )

No More Sleep Deprivation?

Could it be that my baby girl of 9 months old may be sleeping through the night-my version of sleeping through the night?  So far, it has been three consecutive days of her waking only once to eat in a 14 hour span.  What a wonderful Christmas present that could be!

Thansgiving Travels

We traveled several hours to hang out with family for Thanksgiving.  The trip went smoothly and we enjoyed time with our cousins.  The only thing is, we forgot our camera so we have no photos to share.  Our daughter made her debut in the hotel pool.  Or should I say her feet made a debut. She cried so hard as if to say "Are you kidding me that you want me to go in that cold water?".  Her baby cousin, 28 hours younger, also hated the cold water on his feet.  Her older cousins had no qualms at all about the temperature, they could not get enough of the pool!  We shopped, ate, and played games.  It was a good time.

Thanksgiving Thanks

We just got back from visiting our Grandfather in the Hospital.  We enjoyed time with family and cooking for them.  Our thoughts continue with our Grandfather and our dear Grandmother who is selflessly caring for him.

We continue this week preparing for our "First Thanksgiving" with our little girl in our home. Many recipes are being prepared for our Thanksgiving Dinner as well as the great celebration with the rest of the family.  

We are blessed with such loving family members...that is what we are thankful for.

First Halloween

She was a Chicken for her first Halloween!   It was a lot of fun.  We went to my sister's to take photos with her baby boy and then to our neighbors for dinner and trick-or-treating. Our little girl was the littlest one, and was a trooper.  Although she did not eat any candy, she enjoyed herself in the stroller along with her ladybug costumed dog.

Almost Ready

Now that I have had a tutorial on Blogging from my brother-in-law I am almost ready to go live.

This is the first blog for our family.  Our hope is to keep up with the news in our life for you :)
