Just Because

New York

Many moons ago Brent and I went to New York. He had a work meeting and I tagged along. Mind you this was one of the hardest things I've ever done. I left my kids for two nights and flew far away from them. But I had sooooo much fun! I could never live there with kids and heaven forbid you should lose track of your child in Time Square but I loved visiting it. It really is the city that never sleeps and we were out walking around at all hours of the night. It was a much needed vacation and thanks to one of my wonderful sisters for watching my boys for us!

This is my, "You're taking too long to take the

picture and I look like a major dork." picture.

(And my, "I've been flying half the day and walking around the city

for the rest and I look like it." picture too)

At the World Trade Center Site

Being there and seeing the area surrounding where the towers stood brought back a lot of the images of September 11th. Seeing the streets people were running through to get away from the site brought back the feelings of fear I felt for them that day. The area where the buildings stood is massive and I can only imagine the destruction that day.

Momma Don't Play Favorites

Seth informed me this morning that the marble he swallowed was his favorite. What's he getting at?

So Spoiled

(P.S. I've decided to no longer apologize for a messy room in the background)

Party in Tampa

We headed over to Tampa this week to see Marilyn, Paul, and Kelsie.

A milestone was reached when Ian climbed out of the porta-crib. This is what we found when we headed to bed...

Ian fell in love with his cousin Kelsie...
And Seth got to ham it up in the pool...

She just finished having her dream house built and I have to repent due to envy. She is so talented that I left her with something to design a new bedroom for me around.And just so you know what I have to look forward to, this is her room...

Dear Seth

I'm sorry that I fast forwarded the movie everytime you went out of the room last night. I know the movie didn't make any sense, but I knew you were really tired.

Moving on

We finally moved out! Do you know how hard it is to have a house ready for people to come look at it at anytime when you have children? Especially when something like this is almost an everyday occurence. Maybe some of you have been there.
