New Years Eve..

Another year almost over. WOW..
We had a great Christmas! Emmy woke up at 3 A M all excited, yelling "Santa Came!"

Tomorrow is Xmas eve..

I have been busy around here , Decorating the tree and picking up the tree every time my cats decide to climb it.. I'm sure they are looking for BIRDS!! LOL But all they find are the ornaments which they are batting around the house. .Emmy is all kinds of excited.. Santa is coming tomorrow night.! She is having trouble deciding which cookies she wants to leave for him , and what kind of trail mix she will make for the reindeer..
I Love listening and talking to her, she is so full of love and ideas... she amazes me!
We have been making cards and have given them out and we made some ornaments and hung them on the tree.
Last night my Daughter came here with my Grand son it was a wonderful surprise, we made some baked ziti's and Brownie chocolate chip cookie cupcakes.. they were sooo good!

November 1.. WOW!

Emmy went out last night Trunk or Treating! She had a real good time.. My Little Snow White!

Its FALL!

The air is more than just "Crisp" today, its downright COLD! Still everywhere you look the colors of fall are there. The leaves are falling making colorful tapestry's all over the ground.. Halloween is almost here.
Last weekend Amber took the girls Pumpkin picking.. Emmy had so much fun..

Then WE Carved it!!

She had so much fun.. It was a great time!

Back to SCHOOL!! YEAH

School has finally started again, its been a long HOT summer here in CT.
Emmy had gotten very board in the last few weeks, as I'm sure most kid have .
They all look forward to school starting again and seeing there teachers and friends again.
I have some well earned ME time again and I just started reading "Mistress": by James Patterson Great book so far..

The Passionate MOM by Susan Merrill

I really enjoyed reading this book! It gives lots of insites about motherhood and all the delemas of raising kids today. A heartfelt journey through all fases of childhood with a mom trying her best to get a handle on the whole process.. I find her learning, growing and finding insperation through out the whole book.
Follow the journey through bible passages and understanding how they relate to raising your children. This book had Lots of references to Nehemiah and what he did and didn't do, I found it a bit slow to get into but keep reading  it gets better..
It is more a book of analogy's than How two's.
I came away with some good ideas but not as inspiring as I thought it would be.

I received this book free from the publisher through the BookSneeze®.com (http://BookSneeze®.com) book review bloggers program.. The opinions I have expressed are my own

Its Wed. Already

Well another Birthday has passed..and Look..I lived through it! LOL
Its been a busy couple months.. We found a new place and have moved, changed Em's school etc.
I hate unpacking stuff, I am still putting things away and still have box's to explore!
I have managed to make a few cards and read a couple books though..
I will be posting reviews about the books later today.. Gotta go cook dinner now but I'll be back

WOW!!

Its been almost a year since I have posted anything..I cant believe its been so long..But lots of things going on in my life these last months.
I have moved, my Mom had a double mastectomy, its just been crazy..
I will be posting again on a regular basis now..

Happy Mothers day!

My daughter was the first to call and wish me a happy mothers day at 7:30 today.. Love you dena!

Emmy is still on the crutches,her foot is feeling a bit better though.
For those that don't know.. Emmy was dared by some little boy's to jump off a wall... She did!! The boys chickenned out!! Go figure..
She has bruised her foot all the way to the bone,

Happy Birthday Emmy!!

Emmy turned 7 years old yesterday, we had a nice party , she has a blast!

A special post

T'was the night before Christmas, He lived all alone, In a one bedroom house, made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney, with presents to give, And to see just who, in this home, did live. I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung some pictures of far distant lands. With ...medals and badges, awards of all kinds, A sober thought, came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly. The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, Curled up on the floor, in this one bedroom home. The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, Not how I had pictured an American soldier. Was this the hero, of whom I'd just read? Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed? I realized the families, that I saw this night, Owed their lives to these soldiers, Who were willing to fight. Soon round the world, the children would play, And grownups would celebrate, a bright Christmas day. They all enjoyed freedom, each month of the year, Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here. I couldn't help wonder, how many lay alone, on a cold Christmas eve, in a land far from home. The very thought brought a tear to my eye, I dropped to my knees, and started to cry. The soldier awakened, and i heard a rough voice, "Santa don't cry, this life is my choice; I fight for freedom, i don't ask for more, My life is my God, my Country, my Corps." The soldier rolled over, and drifted to sleep, I couldn't control it, i continued to weep. I kept watch for hours, so silent and still, And we both shivered, from the cold night's chill. I didn't want to leave, on that cold, dark, night, This guardian of honor, so willing to fight. When the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure, Whispered, "Carry on Santa, it's Christmas Day & all is secure." One look at my watch, and I knew he was right. Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night !!

A Baby Bath!!

Giannie got his first bath... He did not seem to mind it but he sure did not like the baby lotion and getting dressed part of the whole thing!! LOL
