A bathroom stall, no lock and a 2-year-old. Not a good combo.

Yesterday I had one of those experiences about which you can laugh hysterically… after the fact.
You know what I mean?
I took William to his karate class, and brought Alexander along, too. All 3 of us had to use the bathrooms before class began. So we booked it real quick to the [...]

Hello BOYS!

I had my 32 week check-up appointment today.
The nurse took a sonogram photo of Henry that is (ahem… priceless.
And… well, absolutely confirms BOY.
That’s right- top left portion of the photo says it ALL (I zoomed in).

10 weeks. But who’s counting?

I’m 30 weeks pregnant. That’s right, 10 weeks to go.
Actually only 8 1/2 weeks to go since I am having a planned c-section a week and a half early.
Apparently having a baby every year for 4 years in a row has wreaked a little havoc on my (shall we just say) “down there.”
So as [...]

It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to

Yesterday we celebrated Benjamin’s 1st birthday.
When I arrived at Audrey’s house, family and friends were talking and laughing, gathering together around the food counter or in the living room or down in the basement.
Kids were running around the house in packs, planning kickball teams and donning their newly-made paper crowns.
There was excitement everywhere. And then [...]

A Happy Day…

Today is Benjamin’s birthday party.
But last night we got to celebrate our Benjamin with just our family…
And it was so nice being with my boys.

We pretty much had to bribe William and Alexander with chocolate cupcakes and chocolate milk if they would JUST look at the camera and smile! (Alexander bought into it [...]

Whispers from a husband… Part 1 and 2

Part 1 -
Monday night Matt and I took William and Alexander out to Target to get some birthday presents for Benjamin. Even though he’s turning 1 and I know he doesn’t know it’s his birthday… I still wanted to go without him to get the boys excited for his special day!
We found our [...]

Grandma’s Home!

Let me tell you…
There is nothing in the world quite like being a grandmother.
Maybe being a princess. A queen. A fairy Godmother.
But I think even these “vocations” simply cannot compare.
Take last evening, for example. Audrey and her little family had traveled to visit her husband’s family in Pittsburgh for the [...]

Beware the “ills” of March…

March came into my home like the proverial lion. Or, in basesball lingo, like a line drive.
A line drive to the head. Eyes. Throat. Tummy.
Come on, March. What was up with all the pink eye during the first week. William, Benamin, me, then my mom. Big time [...]

What does it take…

… to get all 3 boys and Mom and Dad together on the couch for a photo?
Somehow maneuvering a way to get Alexander away from my Nana’s 89th birthday cake.
Getting Benjamin to sit still for 2 seconds.
Matt and I sitting down… together.
Keeping the climbing boys away from my growing tummy… and Henry!
And deciding that [...]

Wordless Wednesday - VOTING DAY!

Audrey’s husband took William and Alexander to vote with him yesterday. He’s VERY into the whole political process, so he wanted to take photos of the boys during this exciting election.
So…
He sent the photos to CNN and MSNBC last night…
And guess who made it on both sites!?
