It's Par-Tay Time!

Yesterday we celebrated Emma and Teddy's birthday! For anyone who does not know Emma and Teddy are not twins.....They were born on the same day one year apart! Every year we celebrate with one BIG Birthday Party! Yesterday was no different than the year before, only there were about 20 more people there, and we had it at our house!




We packed about 70 people in my house...it was great! The kids did stuffed animals, in shifts mind you, but they all seemed to have a GREAT time! This was my favorite party to date! The house was so packed my I couldn't tell which were my kids! After everyone went home...Emma told me that she had a really fun time, and in her words "That was cwazy mom!" It was an awesome funfilled day! It was most special because it was Emma and Teddy's first birthday in their new home with their many new friends that they have made! Thank you all for making this day such a special one for Emma and Teddy!

Emmy's Birthday Present

Emma received a Birthday present in the mail today from her Aunt Ginny and Uncle Jim in Florida. She was so excited. As she opened the gift, the necklace inside fell out. As proud as can be as Emmy says " Mommy Aunt Ginny sent me a box with nothing in it....I love it!"

Hey Emma, forget toys this year for Christmas, Daddy and I will just wrap the boxes!

Niagra Falls....In My Basement!

Yesterday a pipe broke on our washtub while we were out. The water leaked everywhere, and I do mean everywhere! It went down into our heating vents to flood the storage room in our basement! It was an absolute mess! Here are some pictures.

Four Years Later!

Tomorrow Dan and I will be married 4 years....I can't believe it! It seems like yesterday that we met in the computer lab at school. I went over to sit at a computer, and accidentally whacked Dan in the head with my book bag....He just kind of looked over and smiled at me, as I said "I am sorry". That day is still so vivid in my memory...it gives me goose bumps just thinking of it. There were so many fun times before we were engaged...Dan propose on July 5, 2003 in Havre de Grace, Maryland during their Fourth of July fireworks, and the rest is history....We married on November 27th, 2004, 3 years to the date of our first meeting. Looking down the aisle that day and seeing Dan was the one of the happiest days of my life....I have never looked back! We have been together 7 years and they have been full of so many happy and sad times. We have gotten through them for better or for worse!

Happy Anniversary Dannybear! You are the LOVE of my life!

Fun In The Snow!

Yesterday Emma and Teddy helped me shovel the driveway! It was so weird to see snow yesterday, we had a lot of fun. Teddy wasn't too sure about the snow at first, but Emma couldn't wait to get out in it! Afterward we all enjoyed a great cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows!

Elf Yourself

Thanks Nancy at Three's Company for the Elf yourel ecards, this was a lot of fun!

Emma's "Mr. Hanky"

After months of trying to get Emma to do #2 in the potty it has finally happened on a "regular" basis. She is so proud of herself when she goes, that she insist we all come into the bathroom to look at what she did...ah to be 2 again.? After we look at it, Em will flush it down the toilet, and proudly say "Bye poopy, see you next time!".

Tonight we went out for supper, and right on schedule Emma told us she had to go to the bathroom (which we are very happy she does). After she was done, Emma comes out of the bathroom, and proudly yells across the restaurant to Dan "Daddy, I went poopy!". How Dan kept a straight face is beyond me, because I know my face felt flushed.....Let's just say Mr. Hanky has been a proud and defining moment Em's life!
