We went to the mall Wednesday and Santa was there! Aden screamed/cried when Santa walked by us, but then cool when it was time to get a picture! Ava couldn’t wait to see him and Sofie was not really sure what to think!
Our weather is so up and down. In the last 4 days we have gone from 80 degrees…sunny warm days to cold 50 degrees and we even had flurries today. OH THE SHOCK of flurries, we had headlines like a blizzard….funny to me! I am from St Louis, and it is funny to see the south freak out over flurries, freeze warnings, etc. Yes, ice is totally different than snow…but it’s the drivers down here that make it twice as worse than it needs to be! I’m more scared of the other drivers than the ice. Back to the fact that we have had 80 degree days 2 days ago…..nothing is going to happen to our roads! if it does, fine…prove me wrong!
Friday is our day to set up the christmas tree. The kids are so excited and actually have been waiting patiently. Of course they noticed the dozen homes around the area that put up their xmas stuff 2 weeks ago!!!! But I explained how we do it the day after Thanksgiving….and they accepted it! We have a ton of lights that never get used, so I’m going to decorate the back yard! Try and make it a winter wonderland….maybe get some fake snow?!?!?!
my brother, Tom passed away a year ago. Up until 2 months ago I thought about him every day. I carried regrets that I finally let go. I can’t go back and change anything. I’m just sorry my kids didn’t get to know him better and vice versa. I’ll have to be sure to keep his memory alive. He was a good guy, always making jokes….even when he was sick in the hospital. He had a great group of friends that he raced motorcycles with, a passion he shared with my dad and Kelly (other brother). I know he is smiling and happy to be back with Zac (his dog he lost a couple years ago). PEACE, LOVE YOU TOM!
LOVE this place. I started going when I was 8 mths pregnant with my second baby. I saw an ad for the dinner station in a local parent magazine and made my appointment within a week! I was so looking forward to having meals prepared and ready to go when the baby came. My first 2 (Ava and Aden) are only 13 mths apart…so I had NO idea what it was going to be like with Aden, Ava and dinner time! They have some pretty good meals…when you break down the price per meal, and the fact that they do all the prep work and clean up work….it’s worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why not try an alternative way to treat colic, ear infections, reflux and other common reoccurring problems with infants and toodlers?? Or just to get your back and neck in line to avoid pain?!?!?!?! I’ve always been a “believer” in chiropractic…..from what my parents say they resolved an issue I was having when a was just about a year old with asthma. This was 34 years ago! A friend introduced me to a pediatric chiro 2 years ago. I’m not hard core holistic, but I do think that our bodies need to be aligned and the energy flowing to work and feel better. I started back with a chiro with my first pregnancy….and have been going again recently. I noticed a big difference after I started working up at the school. Holding all those kids, picking them up and putting them down….ouch!
here is a link to a site I search for answers…
I decided this year to get us flu shots. I’m not against them, just a personal preference not to. As many other things lately….I’ve “changed” my mind. I took all 3 kids and myself this morning, not so much fun. all 3 cried….screamed at first. Ava, my darling drama queen was the worst. It went on and on with her. Thank God for Aunt Patti to save the day and make it all better, and Ava’s best friend Skylar as a bribe!!!!! Aunt Patti told Ava she couldn’t play with Skylar on the playground unless she went back to class (yes, we got the shots before class). We are all a little sore from the shot. Used tylenol on all of us. the best part, they get to do it all over again in 1 month. Since it is their first flu shot they have to split the dose, half now and half in a month! YIPPEE! and Ava is due for her 4 yr old vaccines. it sucks that she is so sensitive to pain and such!
why did I change my mind….I’m in class 2 days a week with 10 - 12 other kids and so is Sofie. Just figured I could protect myself against ONE thing. If you don’t know, the flu shot is only a certain string on the virus….there could be many different strings this season that we are not protected against. as I said, at least I’m protected against one thing! KNOCK ON WOOD….we have been pretty lucky in the past. Let’s hope this is a good season too!!!!!!!
check it out, Lenny is coming out with a new album Feb 2008!!!! love him!
