Family

We had planned on heading to the Gartenshau last weekend, which is, from what I am told, a very neat park complete with pumpkin displays in an Underwater theme. I am working on my photography skills, so thought this would be a great opportunity for some pics of our kids. Sadly, it rained, so I opted for an in home photo shoot instead. Here are my most prized, most cherished possessions ;)  They melt my heart and fill me with pride. I love them so very, very much.

Lovely family! I noticed you wouldn't let me comment on your most recent post so here it goes! Going through a miscarriage isn't easy! I think about it often but also realize everything happens for a reason. The bitterness towards others who are pregnant is normal. All the tears, sadness, and pain was worth it when I finally got to hold my amazing boy! You will experience this joy again too! It will make you appreciate all of your blessings and will make you a better mom. I wish you weren't going through this, I know exactly how you feel. It does suck! Remember all that great advice you gave me to get out of my slump? Well apply it! Keep your chin up,keep the faith, and relax it will happen!

Love ya, j

Oh Jessica,
You made me cry. Thanks for your words. I needed them. I know it will all go away and the sunny days will return. They do return. They have returned, but are clouded by these moments of funk. I miss the blue sky, sun shiny days where there is no cloud in the sky--if you know what I mean.
I am gland you've been there, well not really, but you know what I mean. It is easier for whatever reason.
Love you!

Very sweet pics! Have you heard of Zulily.com? I'm pretty slow on the uptake, I know, but they have great deals on clothes and shoes for women and kiddos. Annnd I know how you love to shop ;)

I have an account with zulily ;) However, I never use it. I tend to go with my reliables for clothes and that is pretty much it. I like cute, cheap and sales--Carter's is it for kids, Gap sometimes and Old Navy. Those are our stand bys. I discovered NY and Company as well as Loft ships to APO's now, so those are my personal favs. ;) Lucky for Chris and our bank account, I am limited to only those who ship to APO priority.
As for you--Wrentham has a Carter's outlet and Mark could take in a Patriot's game at nearby Foxboro. Just an idea :)

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really

Progress

I used to be prompt about scrapbooking in Claire's album. After seeing my sister's pictures piled up three children later, I was determined not to have the same fate. I am sure it is difficult for some of you to believe, but since Claire has been born, my free time has been limited. Really, it has. So, our pictures are finding their way into piles too--5 to be exact. However, I am thrilled to say that I finished (ok, they aren't completely finished, but nearly. I only have journaling to do.) six pages. Yes, that's right, I said SIX!! It was a major accomplishment. Here they are for your viewing pleasure. Only 5 more months left to get through....any volunteers? Jessica???

Claire, Mya and the NEWS

Chris and I had this elaborate plan on how we were going to share the news with our girls. I ordered adorable shirts, which took forever to get here. They were supposed to ship Oct. 4, but didn't. I am not a patient soul at all. I love to share good news and spread the excitement. We went to a German doctor last week for a gender reveal ultrasound. He was 99% certain of his selection. Claire and I began looking at clothes online. She asked questions about why we were looking at baby clothing, but thankfully, my sister has a little guy and a baby girl who is due in December. They are my perfect excuses for all things baby! Claire asked nothing more and began pointing out things we should buy Jackson or the new baby girl. Our weekends typically involve partaking in a local event or just relaxing, which means a trip to the KMCC Mall. Saturday we went shopping or at least looking. Once again, the girls became excited, choosing items for Jackson or the new baby girl. I decided I cou
