Sweet Autumn...........

We're settled in our house, our baby boy turned 1. Halloween is on the horizon, pretty is about to turn 5. I love this time of year. Life is good. Just got very important parts of Krissi's costume today. Our new fascination is Fancy Nancy, so I'm recreating her dress in one of the books, and scored major at the thrift store today. I've gotten on board with her Halloween costume choice. Eric is a lion, she was supposed to be Dorothy, and I was going to be the tin woman, daddy the scarecrow. My lovely October baby, my precious pumpkin, single handedly destroyed my vision, but I forgive her, she obviosly has no interest in Dorothy or Oz, I blame myself lol. My wonderful and handsome husband refused to talk some sense into her, so I've come to terms with it now. Now onto a Fancy Nancy Halloween, and birthday party. I've gotten them all pink boas, I think I'll be sweeping feathers til Christmas. I can smell Halloween, the pumpkin patch is coming up, and hope to be done in the garage so we can hopefully have a pumpkin carving party, the garage is a wreck, kinda like the junk drawer everyone has, but bigger obviously. yikes....lol. Now it's time to stock up on pumkin puree, flour, sugar and butter. And re-start insanity, so I don't just eat pumpkin bread all October. haha Oh yeah, I may end up being Dorothy myself, still not sure.

My beautiful boy is almost 1.

My first time playing around in photoshop. Isn't he dreamy. My precious boy. A year goes by so fast. And he has filled our lives with pure joy. He's my crazy wild man. So smart, and strong. And he really needs mama. He is my clingy one. I love him. I still can't believe I have a son, and he is wonderful. He also has the best big sissy in the world, who loves him dearly. I was carrying a big box, and as I passed E, she rushed to cover him. In case it fell. She was protecting him, and risking her getting hurt. My beautiful babies. I'm so blessed. And we're curious as to who else will join us in the future.

Brother above a Sea of Fog

I think it's important to feel this feeling, at least once. One pic is my little brother, the other is a painting that I always remembered to remember. Freidrich's "wanderer above a sea of fog". It's romantic, a young man heading towards an unknown future, I saw it very fitting. Picture taken by my sister, credit where credit is due.

Finally Home

We've moved into our new home, and it's wonderful:) A place for my babies to run and play. Excited for the memories we'll make. So happy the process has ended, and the outcome is awesome, all the pieces of the puzzle came together in a neat little bow, glad we stuck it out, we are blessed. Offically home owners, yay!!!

La Bella Vita

Life is good right now. It's seems to be coming together. We have our health and at the end of the day that's all that matters. But we have been working on some big plans. Cross your fingers and close your eyes, we are.

Heaven is Here.

If my morning starts like this, that means it was a great morning. There is a husband doing something random probably in the garage or yard. And a little girl in a pink tutu and tiara twirling around the kitchen. A tiny little curly haired baby boy who is in the first stages of walking, and he is hanging at my leg just waiting to be carried. May not sound like heaven to some, but it is mine. Coffee in one hand, breakfast on the horizon, and my lovely lap top that's about to connect me to the world that is going much faster than we are at the moment.

Aloha from Hawaii

Something came over me in the last few days and I realized I wanted to start a blog, about a various number of things I guess. Whatever tickles my fancy, my family, my hobbies, my passion, my randomness. I sure do possess a lot of it, so basically this blog's subject matter summed up is random family stuff. LOL Where to begin........
