Can you guess why we chose a Kangaroo costume for this year??

PS. More Halloween pics to come=)

SNOW!!!!

I can't believe we had our first snowfall today!! It was so pretty looking out the window and seeing these huge flakes falling down from the heavens! WE LOVE SNOW...except when we going sledding down the big hill in our backyard and pop out our shoulder...right honey??? Hopefully that won't ever happen again!!

Here are some pics I took this morning...it was fun while it lasted, but it was pretty much all gone by noon:( But it sure was beautiful while it lasted!!







Here is a video of the beautiful snowfall. We hope it brings a little light to your day like it did to ours=)

Cousin's Are Funny: )

While on vacation, we picked up my niece's from school and they were so excited to see us! They were making Lil' Chris laugh almost the whole way home. Here are some video's of him laughing hysterically at his cousin doing something weird that she just made up. He thought is was so funny, that he had to give it a try. Now, whenever we are out and he sees another kid, he has to do it. My husband and I just crack up, b/c it is so cute. It's like he thinks he's doing something cool with the big kids:)





We were at a restaurant the other night and there were some kids sitting behind us, so he thought he would show them how cool he is:) I think the whole restaurant was laughing. (sorry the video is bad and makes a weird noise, it was from my cell phone, you may be able to see it, but not hear it...sorry)

Halloween Pic as New Header

We went and got Lil' Chris' Halloween pics done the other day. He is the cutest Kangaroo ever! I thought it was fitting to make it the new header for a lil' while, at least for another couple of weeks.

Our lil' Vacation

Finally, I got all my thousands of pics from vacation all downloaded! We had a great time seeing my sister D's new house...it's BEAUTIFUL!! I'm so glad my Dad went too, he never gets to see Lil' Chris. We had so much fun watching Lil' Chris play with his cousins. He usually is never around other kids, b/c everybody lives so far away:( He had a BLAST this weekend though! So did his cousins:)

We did all kinds of stuff...we went to a lil' festival thing that their town was having, we went for a walk around their development and thru a path in the woods, we saw a cute lil' turtle, we celebrated a couple of birthdays, and oh yeah...we celebrated Christmas. I know what you are thinking..."Christmas in October???" Well, we kinda had to since they live so far away and since I will be 8 months pregnant at Christmas time. There is no way I'm traveling then! So, we just celebrated a lil' bit early this year...the kids didn't mind, I'm sure:) It was a lot of fun! We can't wait to go back again!

Here is a slide show of some of the things we did. Of course, we can't go anywhere without doing his vest. He didn't seem to mind it one bit! He was distracted by all the new toys he got to play with=)

Here is a video of Lil' Chris doing his Vest when we finally got there at around 10:30pm. The video is a lil' dark, sorry:(


Here is a video of lil' Chris following his cousin around to play with the Christmas present we got him, a lawn mower. Lil' Chris is 16 months and his cousin is almost 2. I guess we'll have to buy Lil' Chris one for Christmas too:)


This video is of Lil' Chris doing his Vest with his cousins help:)


The kids liked racing the boys around on the nice hardwood floors=)


Hope you enjoyed them! Later I'll post the video of Lil' Chris laughing hysterically in the car, b/c of something his cousin was doing.

Please Pray for Tricia and Richard

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. We went on a lil' vacation to see my sister D's new house. Since we have been back, I've been busy catching up on everybody else's blogs and doing laundry. We had a great time on vacation though, I'll post some pics later.

For this post, I think it is more important that we all pray for some of our fellow CFer's right now. Tricia just got some bad news from the doctor. I pray that they get some good news soon, they could really use it. Click here to read more about it.

Richard's wife just posted the saddest post ever! (Click here to read it). He is a 46 year old CFer who was doing chemo treatments for colon cancer, but he has now decided he can't take it anymore. So sad, I was really praying that he could make it past this:( If you would like to leave a lil' encouraging comment on his blog, click here.

Please take some time and pray for them all. They really need some miracles right now.

Thanks,
M

CF Mom Meeting

I don't have too much time to write, but I'm so excited for our next CF Mom Meeting. We are going to try to get together once a month and hopefully start planning our Great Strides Walk that we are going to start here in town. For our next meeting, we are going to try to get one of the Great Strides organizers to come to give us some ideas and help us get started.

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Daniel's mom and Alma and her mom for coming to the CF mom meeting. I had a great time and learned a lot. I can't wait for the next CF mom meeting:)

Our CF Mom Meeting Went Great!

Our CF Mom Meeting went GREAT!! We ended up talking for 2 1/2 hours. It was me, Daniel's mom, Alma and her mom. Oh yeah, and my husband and Lil' Chris. They were hungry, so they came to eat, and then they left and us girls kept chatting. Julie wasn't able to make it, b/c her twins were sick and she was starting to get sick too. Catherine couldn't make it either. Maybe one of these times we will all be able to get together:)

We talked about a lot of different things. Alma's son Jack who will be 3 soon, had 2 hospital stays this year. So, I was asking her lots of questions as to what it is like being in the hospital for days and days. Hopefully we never have to go thru that, but just in case, I wanted to know what it was like. She said that they bring their own Vest instead of using the one that gets passed around the hospital. That's good to know. She also said there is a pull out bed in the room which can fit 2 people, but if you want to be comfortable, only 1 person would be best. I always wondered about that. Also, the hospital food is expensive and adds up very quickly.

Well, Lil' Chris is crying for some reason...probably a bad dream. I will update you more later.
