Come here big fat black cat!

This video was taken around Christmas time!

Almost Spring!!!

Tommy has already seen a robin, my juniors are about to their CNA Exam, Andrew is one year old today!!! yay! and Gene is chomping at the bit to go fishing!!

Well, Katie and the girls have been sick, :( chest congestion, fever.... croup... I was sick, then Makayla, then Erin, then Katie and finally Gene. It went right through the house. All through this however, Erin was ever smiling!!

The bathroom is coming along. The tub was set last night! I am still hoping that the plumbing inspector will come today to inspect the gas fireplace and check the bathroom pipes at the same time. We have a pedestal sink that Jonathan got at work, it was a display and is just beautiful!!
Gene and I bought a medicine cabinet and decided on wainscotings on the walls that do not surround the tub. The tiles are going to be just plain white, that way it goes with any color. Haven't decided on a floor yet, but I think we have plenty of time!

Welcome Erin Anne

Erin Anne arrived at 11:05 Sept 4, 2008 weighing in at 7 lbs. 8 oz 18 inches long.
Mother and Daughter are doing well.

Congratulations to Katie and Lee Erin is just beautiful. Makayla is going to be a great sister!!

So Tired

Last Wednesday, Honey, Makayla and I went to Chatham. It was a beautiful day, sunny with a light breeze. Makayla was wonderful in and out of her carriage. She only had one meltdown and that was because I would not let her cross the street alone. Hmmm I think someone is growing up! We walked around everywhere and about 10 minutes from the cottage, out to sleep. I managed to get her in the cottage without waking her and she slept for about another hour. What a beautiful little ladybug! :)

New Clothes for Bridget

As some you you may recall, Bridget was Katie's much loved doll. She has had many surgeries because the cloth that is her body keeps ripping and fraying. Well like the good mother and grandmother that I am, I just keep patching her up.

She used to wear a little white lace gown but the velcro finally gave in and the gown would not stay on any more. Because of that Makayla has had to love and hold a naked doll with funny patches on her body. (I guess the patches come with age because I think I saw some on me too!!! haha)

Well, I saw a doll set to 9.99 the other day. and guess what!!! The clothes fit Bridget!! She looks like a new baby!!! What do you think?

Gay Head Martha's Vineyard

That is me! sitting on the swim platform. After I put my feet in, I decided it was really a little too cold to swim so I just sat there and enjoyed the scenery!!

Makayla at the Beach

I have decided that Makayla is a fish!! She loves the water. I had her life jacket on and she just kept walking into the water until her feet floated!! hehe Honey also introduced her to seaweed. She picked it up and tossed it like a pro. Sorry not pics of her in the water. I was too busy just hanging on to her so she would not go out to sea.

But I do have a few pictures of her at the beach, walking, collecting shells, sleeping...
