THE FAMILY. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck

Keeping Me on My toes at 2 years-Happy Birthday Blaine!
So our "littlest man" turned 2 yesterday! Where did my baby go? He still loves to cuddle though :). AND gives the best kisses in the world....over and over and over again. I made a white chicken chili last night for this boys birthday dinner and he fell asleep before 6:00 :(. So he is just going to have to enjoy it for lunch today. We did have a little breakfast celebration with "Dunkin Donuts"....surprise, surprise. :) He was so cute when we started to sing to him, he was singing to himself too.
Blaine is so FULL of life. Anyone that meets him or knows him ALWAYS says what a HAPPY boy he is....and that is sooo true. He just loves life. He is a "dare devil". NO FEAR...which leads me to believe he may be the one that has the broken leg or arm or stiches in this family. He is always banging his head on something (the floor, a stool, a cabinet, our heads...the list go on and on). He is testing boudaries right now, but is a WONDERFUL helper. He always helps when it is clean-up time and he always helps me clear dishes from the table. Blaine LOVES his brother--they are best buddies and adores his sisters. We love our little man and hope that he remembers having a WONDERFUL birthday (pictures of the party I will post later).
HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY BLAINE! We LOVE YOU!!

Almost Black
So I went to get my hair trimmed the other day and decided to go darker with my hair color for the winter season. It has taken me a couple of days to get used to because it is sooooo much darker than how I had it before. Before I had blonde and caramel color highlights in it.
But I think I am going to like it!

Chalkboard Quote of the WEEK
November 14, 2010-Happy Birthday Nicole!!
I am still in disbelief that 3 days ago Nicole turned 9 years old. Where has the time gone? We had so much FUN celebrating with family and friends. Nicole wanted 2 things for her birthday....a dolphin pillow pet and a lap desk...so she can sit on the couch and draw or do her homework. I asked her what food she wanted for her birthday party and she told me-banana bread.....instead of cake, doughnuts, chocolate ice cream, chocolate covered strawberries, popcorn, smarties, jelly beans, and lemonade (we had strawberry mint lemonade that was so delicious -thanks to Mima and Papa for bringing it). We had a small party for her on Saturday and on Sunday she requested chocolate chip pancakes for her birthday dinner. Who has the SWEET TOOTH in our house I wonder? :) Nicole has blessed our lives so much with her sweet and loving spirit. She is so very unselfish and extremely giving. She is always hugging us and telling us how much she loves us. She cares for her younger siblings and just LOVES her baby brother Blaine who in turn adores her. We are so BLESSED to have her as our daughter.
LOVE YOU NICOLE!!
