Guess who's back!?!?!?

trying to get a nice photo just doesn't work with the kids these days


Ring around the rosy, ring around the rosy

Ashes, ashes we all fall down


Sophia and Uncle Danny (I know, not the best clarity but it is better than nothing)

WE had the BEST time today visiting with our long lost Auntie TeeTee and Uncle Danny. They moved away in the fall of 2008 and haven't been back since. Prior to their departure Auntie TeeTee and NeeNee (Terry's mom) were constantly going 100% out of their way to help us in whatever way they possibly could. They absolutely enjoyed getting down and playing with the kids and the kids thoroughly enjoyed them. I have missed my friendship with Terri immensely. It was almost like they had never left, Sam just jumped right in where they had left off. Sophia was a little unsure initially (she was like 8 or 9 months old when they left) but Terri quickly won her over.
Unfortunately their visit will be short, but we are so so thankful to spend any time that we possibly can with them. WE love you so much Auntie TeeTee and Uncle Danny. And we certainly wouldn't mind if you moved back, HINT HINT!!!!
PS: We miss you so much too NeeNee and we pray for you often

To Auntie TeeTee, NeeNee, and Uncle Danny with Love

We had a wonderful call with our Auntie TeeTee today (but she is all the way in Oregon) so unfortunately we don't get to see her. My kids LOVE talking to her on the phone, and Sammy especially likes to tell her about his toysand what he has been up to. This is the typical conversation...
"So how are you Sammy? What are you up to? I love you and miss you so much."
"So TeeTee I am good. I am watching a show, and playing with T-Rex. TeeTee you know the other day what I did?" So tonight we decided to show you TeeTee, what we have been up to. We would love to show you in person if you want HINT. HINT:-)


We wish we were hugging you instead! We miss you and love you so much! This is us sending our hugs to you!!!



These are my babies auntie do you like them?

This is my kitchen, I will make you a snack if you come over


See Auntie this is my monster truck, you want to drive it with me?


This is T-Rex, I will share him if you want to come and play


This is our work bench that we got from Auntie Tracy and Uncle Tim, we love to build all kinds of stuff here

Bad Day

Ever had a day when you get out of bed and just wish you could just lay back down and pull the covers over your head? THat was my day today. I got out of bed with a pounding headache and just did not want to go to work. I then was getting ready for work and Sam had an explosion of diarrhea (AGAIN!!!) So MAtt and I quick cleaned him up and I headed out to work. I called the doctor about the migraine as I was told to if it continued to get worse. I thought she would tell me what I can take and that would resolve it. Because I am nursing and because of all the liver problems in the past with pregnancy: Nope, I had to go in.
But prior to my appointment I went to JCPenney with the baby that I am taking care of for private duty and her mom. Matt had dropped off Sophia to me, and so we went to the mall. The two babies, and two mommies. On the way there I got a flat tire. Did I mention torential downpours and my already terrible tires?!?!? So here I was with a pounding headache a crying baby and a flat tire. I knew Matt's aunt and uncle were in Leominster so I called them. Uncle DAnny to the rescue!!! He came and fixed my tire so then I drove over to get all new tires on the car.
Then drove to the doctors appt and she didn't know what to do. She is going to talk to another doctor and get back to me tomorrow. I am thoroughly frustrated with this whole situation. I can't get pregnant again right now (well I probably could seeing how birth control hasn't worked twice:-) but don't want to now). So I am so limited in what to do and because of the HELLP syndrome and nursing I am even more limited. Oh well hopefully tomorrow we will figure something out.
Meanwhile these are some pictures from Sam's adventures with Uncle Danny, Auntie TeeTee and NeeNee. He has a blast with them and they do all kinds of fun stuff together. They are also getting ready to replace a septic system, so they have the equipment in their yard. Can you guess what Sammy wanted to do? Yup play on the equipment. He had a blast, there and everywhere else they took him
