Project 365

Playing Catch Up (again)

2010-04-06T21:30:00.000-07:00

March 21st - 25th

Day 80: Happy Birthday

The girls and I spent the morning shopping and the afternoon playing with friends and celebrating a special 3rd birthday :)

Day 81: BOO

Some evenings are spent looking at each other from over the screen or magazine. That's how it goes when you are building your business :)

Day 82: Matchy Matchy

She may not play the "right" way to play memory, but she does love to find all the matches! She's building some much needed brain skills there folks :)

Day 83: Lost & Found

After being missed for a little over a month my engagement ring showed it's pretty face in the bottom of the washing machine...now if I could only find his best friend, wedding ring!

Day 84: Awards

My Dad and Tuscarora Mt. Winery, was awarded a revitilization award for his efforts in turning the old store into the fab wine shop it is today :) We are all so proud of him and he was beaming this morning! Way to go Dad!

More to come...

Beeeeeppp...

2010-03-30T19:46:00.001-07:00

Hi! You've reached T. Flo...sorry I haven't posted a picture in a while, I am away, but will repost when I return. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Thanks! BEEEEEPPPP!

March 13th - 20th

2010-03-21T17:21:00.000-07:00

Ok, here we go...playing a little catch up :)

Day 72: Date Night
We try to make it a point to spend some quality time together, not only by ourselves, but with our friends...we also like to spend quality time with the girls. This evening, we spend the night with our great friends and Paul's coaching partner! Sadly, when we got home, they stopped over for drinks, Big wee one woke up crying, I checked on her and fell asleep next to her...nice hostess right?! Thankfully, our friends are understanding! It was a nice night out though :)
Day 73: Clothes...lots of 'em
My friend invited me to go to a "buying" show in Baltimore with her. I fell asleep semi-early the night before (see above) and was prepared for the time change (spring forward!). We had a nice day laughing, checking out the newest fall fashions for 2010 and eating tapas at a delicious restaurant on the way home!

Day 74: Chili Dinner
I love this committee. We work so well together prepping for the chili cook-off, held during IceFest. We have a blast and we love to get together when we can to chit chat and catch up on life. The chair for our committee and a wonderful person invited us over to her house for a home cooked meal...so delicious and the table was set so beautifully! I have great friends :)

Day 75: Hello Warmth!

It's about damn time...

Day 76: Park & Pictures

We headed to a great park we have in the area to take my brother's pictures. He did awesome and the girls loved playing on the train and train tracks. The weather is so perfect...maybe I should talk to Paul about moving some place that stays this temp. all year round :)

Day 77: Tired...

We can't take beautiful pictures all of the time. Paul is packing for his golf trip with his friends and I am literally laying on my bed just holding the camera up. I realized I had forgotten to take my picture of the day, so....say, "Cheese Paul!" hehe! He's not going to like this picture at all.

Day 78: Chambersburg

I was approached by our downtown partnership to do a photo session for some upcoming billboards that will be on display around Chambersburg, to help promote the downtown...thanks to my girlfriends for stepping up and my brother and the awesome guys from the coffee shop and my daughter. They all did great and we got some great pics out of the session! Anything for my downtown!

Day 79: She's 3!

We met at the park for her 3 year pictures, and she happens to be Little wee one's favorite friend! When she's sad, I'll say, "Why are you sad?" and she'll say, "I miss my friend little a." In the most pathetic pucker face ever. Don't they look so sweet?!

Awwww....feels good to be caught up :)

Updates...

2010-03-18T19:03:00.000-07:00

coming soon. :)
We've been enjoying the nice weather and zonking out at night!

Day 71: Gymnastics Fun

2010-03-12T12:50:00.000-08:00

It's not very often we get to go out with the MOMS club anymore and since the girls didn't have school today, I took the opportunity to join some moms at a local gymnastics gym. Both of the girls had a BLAST! I'm pretty sure we'll be signing Big wee one up for Cheer-nastics and Little wee one will go into gymnastics. We finished the morning with lunch at McDonald's with our friends.

Day 70: Mushy

2010-03-12T12:49:00.001-08:00

We've been awfully mushy and lovey lately...which is ok with me :)

Day 69: Scootin...

2010-03-10T18:11:00.001-08:00

The sun is peeking out of the clouds and the weather was just right for hitching a ride with barbie on her scooter. Big wee one and Little wee one played outside for 3 hours and I must confess, this was the first day in a LONG time that they didn't want any tv. None. Not in the morning, not in the afternoon...not at all :) Feels good!

Day 68: New Business

2010-03-09T18:35:00.000-08:00

Taking that next step is scary, but I'm gonna do it!

Day 67: Silly Straws

2010-03-09T18:33:00.001-08:00

When you least expect it, you catch them doing something cute, like sharing chocolate milk that the big sister made. Now...if only they could stay this sweet for longer than 10 minutes!

Day 66: Toes

2010-03-09T18:30:00.001-08:00

Today was a nice day. Spent some time with family celebrating Uncle Jay's birthday and then finished the day with these sweet little feet. Cute and cuddly!

Day 65: Girls Day

2010-03-09T18:28:00.001-08:00

My mom and I hit the open road and headed to Pittsburg for Cousin Meloni's bridal shower. My mom looked beautiful and we had a ton of laughs! We haven't had a day together, just the two of us in a LONG time and it was nice to relax, laugh and talk.

Day 64: Mussels

2010-03-09T18:25:00.000-08:00

Delicous! Good food, good friends. :) Recipe can be found here

Day 63: Hair did.

2010-03-09T18:22:00.000-08:00

Done did it. After 15 weeks, my roots NEEDED it, BEGGED for it, PLEADED with me! So, I listened and got my roots done, my haircut, my eyebrows done and both of the girls had their hair cut as well. A long night, but my hair looks nice and refreshing!

LO: Week 7

2010-03-03T20:33:00.001-08:00

LO: Week 6

2010-03-03T18:46:00.001-08:00

Day 62: Retail Therapy

2010-03-03T17:33:00.001-08:00

Does it really need anymore details? I got to spend some well deserved "mom" time with my mom (and the wee ones)...got some skinny jeans (finally catching up with the rest of the "hip" world), some destressed "boyfriend" kahkis, clothes for the girls and gifts for my cousin. Thanks for a wonderful day Mom :)

Day 61: There's No Place Like Home

2010-03-02T18:11:00.000-08:00

I think it's sweet that she still likes to wear her size 2 dorothy costume. I think it's sweet that she still plays dress-up and wants to wear special "girly" shoes. I think it's sweet that she wants dance around the house and show me her moves...I don't think it's sweet that I signed her up for 2 "interviews" for kindergarten today. My little girl is getting bigger every day.

Day 60: Water Break.

2010-03-02T17:58:00.001-08:00

One.of.those.days. I don't really know why I was having such an awful day, or why I was in such a bad mood, but I was. I wasn't hiding it either...I let everyone know who came my way, to just let me be. This though, the water running, the bubbles filling the tub, Paul sitting there just listening...that spells relief. Just a half an hour to myself, to vent to Paul and get it out. That's all a girl needs sometimes.

Day 59: Sweats.

2010-03-02T17:39:00.000-08:00

This is how we've been rolling lately, in our sweats. Big wee one has had the same clothes on for three days, and Little wee one has changed her pants a couple of times, but we've all been chill-laxin in our lounge wear. Comfy & cozy on a lazy Sunday afternoon.
*picture taken by Big wee one*

Day 58: Coffee Break

2010-03-02T17:30:00.000-08:00

I met my girlfriends for coffee this morning and stayed...all day. It was a nice needed break, good coffee, good laughs, wonderful friends and some computer time! There is a picture that goes here, my girlfriend has it on her camera and she's going to email it to me soon...so I'm saving it's spot :) *picture added* :)

Day 57: BOB

2010-02-26T08:48:00.000-08:00

There is nothing like a delicious BOB sandwich...breakfast on a bun! Especially when we are stuck home, yet again, with another snow "storm" ie: high winds, blowing snow. Mmmmmmm...comfort foods :)

Day 56: The Fight.

2010-02-25T17:16:00.000-08:00

First, you pull the pants on nice and high and then you put one arm in your shirt and get it stuck on your head. You pull it on and off and then get your head stuck. You finally realize you need your other arm in the other sleeve, push that through and get your head stuck again. WA-LAAA, you push your head through and you have your pj's on! So proud!

Day 55: Silly girls

2010-02-24T12:42:00.000-08:00

I am pretty lucky that they love each other as much as they do. Even though about 20 minutes later they were arguing over a balloon, bumped heads and were crying. Love :)

Day 54: AVM

2010-02-24T12:36:00.000-08:00

I had my yearly scans for my AVM check up. As you can see from the picture above, or if you can't tell, I modeled it for you :) My AVM is connected to the base of my tongue and can't be removed, just has to be watched. It's pretty big, but thankfully my neurosurgeon was able to shrink it a little 2 years ago, so that my airway wouldn't be so constricted...too bad I don't have before the shrinking pictures to see the difference. These scans are from yesterday and I pointed out my airway and my mass. If you look on the side that doesn't have the AVM that's what a "normal" mouth/tongue area would look like. Mine is consisted of a mass of veins that go through it...in the other picture you can see the big arse "snake" vein that feeds my AVM.
All is good and I don't have to go back for 2 years now :)

Day 53: Here we go again...

2010-02-24T12:35:00.000-08:00

I'm cooking dinner, I look up and what do my wandering eyes do see? You guessed it...MORE SNOW! And apparently we are supposed to get hit with another storm by the end of the week. Please come soon spring!

Day 52: Explosion

2010-02-24T12:33:00.001-08:00

From the moment the girls woke up (or actually I woke up...they had been awake a long time by then...he!) they played with playdough until way after lunch time. They made desserts, snakes, cakes, flowers, ice cream...all sorts of goodies. They even cleaned up their mess :) They love playdough!

Day 51: Night-boarding

2010-02-24T12:31:00.000-08:00

Sledding while the sunsets is fun! Sledding anytime is fun! Big wee one and her friend Lil' D had a blast flying down the icy snow hill...and so did their sisters :)

Day 50: She Reads!

2010-02-19T18:06:00.001-08:00

Once a month or so, the girls get a package of books in the mail from Cousin Meloni. This last box had a TON of "learn to read" books and dry erase boards and both of the girls tore into them! I sat down to read this book with BWO and she started to read it to me!!! I was so excited and she was so excited! Big girl is growing up!

Day 49: TV Supa-Star

2010-02-19T18:03:00.000-08:00

Awhile back I ran into a local news reporter who had just had some samples from the winery and said she'd love to do a story on my dad. I figured she'd get ahold of me in the spring, but nope, I got a call yesterday morning asking if she could do the story today! I called my dad at the wine shop and set up the time for her to come in and met her there to watch my pops. He did great and I am so proud of all of the hard work he's put into this dream!

Week 5 LO

2010-02-17T18:17:00.001-08:00

Day 48: Dentist

2010-02-17T18:11:00.001-08:00

Little wee one had her first visit to the dentist today and she did awesome! She had x-rays done, got her teeth cleaned and counted and the dentist said that both of the girls did an amazing job! When we got home, both of them ran upstairs to brush their teeth with their new toothbrushes and floss!

Day 47: me

2010-02-17T18:09:00.001-08:00

This is me. At the end of the day, looking tired and man...when did my hair get so long? I need a chin lift and I need to look more awake, but hey, we can't all be perfect...so this is me.

Day 46: A "normal" day

2010-02-17T18:06:00.000-08:00

On any given day, I can walk into the play room and find this. A big giant barbie mess and the girls doing what the girls do :)

Day 45: Love Day!

2010-02-17T18:04:00.001-08:00

Spent the day lounging on the couch with my cousin and the girls, watching movies, eating chocolates and talking wedding...my cousin's wedding.

Day 44: Game Night/Girl's Night

2010-02-17T18:00:00.000-08:00

My cousin came in for the weekend and I invited some girlfriends over for wine, sushi and game night! Oh the laughs were endless this evening and so were the two rounds of sushi...I love these ladies and I'm so happy we all got to spend some time together!

Day 43: She flies!

2010-02-13T12:21:00.000-08:00

We spent 4 hours outside sledding down the hill, flying over that bump and having a TON of fun! We invited lots of friends over and had a blast. Big wee one had no fear flying in the tube!

Day 42: Family

2010-02-13T12:19:00.001-08:00

This is us. Crazy Big wee one, Mommy, shy Little wee one and the Daddy. Hanging out in our bed, watching Hanna Montana. A nice relaxing evening as a family.

Day 41: It continues.

2010-02-10T13:05:00.000-08:00

When I woke up this morning I took a picture outside the front door, around 8:30 am. Around noon, Little wee one took a peek outside and our flag was completely hidden. It has been snowing a lot!

Day 40: Sick Day

2010-02-09T10:44:00.000-08:00

Big wee one woke up in the middle of the night crying that her ear hurt. It continued to hurt her in the morning so we made an appointment to see the dr. In the meantime, I made her breakfast in bed and made her oatmeal extra special by adding some love :)
We headed to the dr, waited for an hour and left with Big wee one having an ear infection and Little wee one having pneumonia! SURPRISE! Looks like we'll be laying low for the next few days, which is fine since we live in a snowtropolis and storm number 2 is starting right now!

Day 39: Southwestern Style

2010-02-09T10:40:00.000-08:00

My friend Penny, invited me to a cooking demonstration put on by a well known chef in our area. It was delicous and fun! I can't wait to go to another demo and to make these delicious foods!

Day 38: Super Sunday

2010-02-07T17:24:00.000-08:00

Super Sunday indeed! Paul and I got to sleep in, the girls wanted super easy cereal for breakfast, and then we made this super easy recycled crayon project. We had a super easy lunch consisting of a munchie plate and then BOTH girls went down for a super easy nap...and slept for almost 4 hours! We ordered pizzas online for a super easy dinner, gave the girls a bath, put them back to bed and then crawled into bed to watch the SuperBowl. A super great Sunday!

Week 4 LO

2010-02-07T15:31:00.001-08:00

Day 37: SNOW!

2010-02-06T18:31:00.001-08:00

We had lots of snow fall from Friday afternoon into Saturday afternoon and Daddy and the girls had a blast playing in it! Little wee one got cold and headed in before Daddy and Big wee one made this awesome igloo. They plan on drinking hot chocolate in it! I think all together we had between 18-20 inches.

Day 36: Friday Night

2010-02-05T17:18:00.000-08:00

The snow has started, sushi and chinese on the table, and the beer and wine are set, now all we have to do is wait on the dumping of snow! This is a good start to a weekend cooped up with lots of snow and cute little girls.

Day 35: Me Day

2010-02-04T18:00:00.000-08:00

Every now and then you just need a day to catch up on you. Today was that day for me. A total me day. I had a photo session in the morning, coffee with friends after that, pedicure and then lunch with another friend, followed by a trip to the grocery store, pick up the girls, a quick trip to the wine shop and then home for dinner and finish the night watching our favorite Thursday night shows with my besties. A nice "me" day.

Day 34: Breakfast for Dinner

2010-02-03T15:59:00.000-08:00

Because we love pancakes and we love to have breakfast for dinner. Filling and delicious, sticky and yummy...comes in many flavors including chocolate, buttermilk, blueberry and a fan favorite, chocolate chip. Side secret: I love when the girls smell like syrup :)

Day 33: Home Life

2010-02-02T20:16:00.001-08:00

Just a typical day at home...cooking with a helper. Moments like these are special, one little helper another playing at the kitchen table. Dinner was good too :)

Day 32: BEAT.

2010-02-01T17:34:00.000-08:00

Pretty much sums up how we feel. Like plopping on the bed and stairing at the tv with mindless nothings going on.

Day 31: Weeeeeeeeeee...

2010-01-31T19:07:00.000-08:00

You can't see her, but Big wee one is squished between Daddy and Little wee one. She was nervous about going down the slide, but I really think it was the crowd of people standing around that really made her nervous. Little wee one had no problem hitting the slide by herself...being the kids of the coordinator, they don't get to enjoy the fun like everyone else, so we hit the slide and checked out the ice today. Daddy's lax team helped man the slide and pick up trash during IceFest 2010...great team work by everyone!

Day 30: HOT, HOT, HOT!

2010-01-31T19:05:00.001-08:00

This committee is so amazing! We all work so well together and we have such a good time! This year's chili cook-off was held under a huge tent, with live music and lots of enthusiastic chili cookers. We even had a large turn-out for the hot pepper eating contest! Fourteen entries and only one could eat all 6 (well....5 and 3/4's) peppers.

Day 29: Throne

2010-01-31T18:59:00.001-08:00

Another full day packed with ice, cold and fun! Cold does not describe the bone-chilling wind that was whipping around Chambersburg on Thursday and Friday....brrrrrrr!

Day 28: Ribbon Cutting

2010-01-31T18:56:00.001-08:00

Here they sit, sipping the best hot chocolate in town, waiting for the official ribbon cutting ceremony to start for IceFest 2010. Big wee one thought it was, "So boring.", but enjoyed the cake that followed.

Day 27: Ice is flying!

2010-01-31T18:53:00.000-08:00

IceFest 2010 carving begins today with the building and sculpting of the 40 ft. ice slide. This day also begins my crazy work schedule and trailing of that man there, Ernie the ice master. Exhaustion and a lot of fun are about to begin!

Day 26: Speaking

2010-01-29T06:52:00.001-08:00

My dad was approached by a women's group to come speak about his winery. He asked if I would do it for him and I said, "Sure!" If you know me, you know that I have no problems being in front of people. At all. This particular evening was wonderful! Women networking with women, drinking wine, listening to me (try to) be funny, eating chocolate...a nice night and I'll be sure to go again!

Day 25: Hugs

2010-01-29T06:50:00.000-08:00

I walked in the room and Big wee one was reading Little wee one ni-night stories, and then she said, "Ok, Little wee one, it's time for bed. Go crawl in bed and I'll tuck you in okaaaayyyy." Gee, I love these two!

Week 3: Layout

2010-01-24T19:32:00.000-08:00

Day 24: By herself.

2010-01-24T18:06:00.001-08:00

Big wee one: "Can I write Santa a letter and let him know that I took a shower all by myself?"

Mommy: "Sure can!"

BWO: "Can I do this every morning?" (as in take a shower by herself every morning).

Since Big wee one didn't want to take a bath tonight, I told her she had to take a shower then, by herself, which means she'd have to wash her own hair and wash her own body. She did it. I checked in on her and told her if she still had soap in her hair, but she did the rest. She even got out of the shower and put her own pj's on and brushed her hair and teeth! Why can't everything go this smoothly??

Everyday is another step to becoming an even bigger girl. *sigh*

Day 23: Ears

2010-01-24T10:18:00.001-08:00

On a whim while shopping for a new hat, boots and pj's (which of course I didn't find a new hat or new boots), Little wee one decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. She did an awesome job sitting still for the ladies! Who also commented on how tiny hear earlobes where about 1000 times! What a big girl :)

Day 22: Sing it!

2010-01-24T10:15:00.000-08:00

picture taken from google images...we took a couple of pictures out, but not on my camera and they didn't turn out so hot anyway :)

Date night! We headed out to dinner to EJ's with some friends, had a good dinner and then enjoyed karoake! The girls even sang "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus...good times!

Day 21: keys

2010-01-21T16:48:00.001-08:00

This has been my life for the past week or so...every night. Working away, trying to catch up. Not so sure it's working, but I'm trying and in the meantime, I'm trying not to lose my mind!

Day 20: Baby

2010-01-20T17:29:00.000-08:00

My baby just LOVES babies! With a capitol L.O.V.E. This particular baby's name is Tillwee...fitting I think :-)
This baby of mine, can bring a smile to my face at any moment! She is so funny and whitty, the other day she even told her sister, "You are sooooo busted!" hehe!

Day 19: Bleeding

2010-01-19T18:22:00.001-08:00

Big Wee One: "My blood is coming out of my knee!"
That pretty much sums up the day for everyone. Crappy.
Tomorrow is a new day.
Seriously though, I don't think that boo-boo was worth the drama! Can you see that boo-boo...I can barely see it...ha!

Day 18: Cook Books

2010-01-18T17:46:00.000-08:00

These are some of my cookbooks. Tonight, I used the very top one to make some delicious sandwiches! The one underneath it, is one of my favorites because 1) my brother gave it to me...empty 2) i have been (slowly) filling it with my favorite recipes from magazines, books, the internet...it's a great book :) I love cooking, and I loved that everyone ate dinner tonight without an argument!!!

Day 17: Sunday

2010-01-17T16:47:00.000-08:00

Sunday means laundry. It means donuts and coffee in the morning with a browse through the local paper. It means cleaning up around the house and not getting out of our pj's. Sunday means vegging on the couch watching football and digi scrapping. Sunday means taking a nap wherever you are laying and eating snack foods through out the day.

Sunday is veg day and that is exactly what we did today.

Day 16: Scrapping

2010-01-16T15:38:00.000-08:00

Enjoying a day trying to scrap with crazy, funny kids, layed back, football watching husbands and bowls full of delicious soup and garlic bread. Just a relaxing Saturday in the hood.

Week 2: Layout

2010-01-16T13:10:00.000-08:00

Week 1: Layout

2010-01-15T21:10:00.001-08:00

In the end I will have an album for the year :)

Day 15: Girl's Night

2010-01-15T19:38:00.000-08:00

A Girl's Night was greatly needed! We watched "12 Dancing Princesses" and ate popcorn. We made pork chops and rice for dinner and I made a cheesecake. We snuggled and giggled and just spent some time doing nothing together. It was nice...I just love these wee ones!

Day 14: 9:30 pm

2010-01-15T19:20:00.001-08:00

picture taken from searching yahoo for "9:30pm clock"; unfortunately I did not get a picture of a clock myself

The last couple of night I haven't gotten home until 9:30 pm or so. Two late night meetings (plus dinner) means I've missed time with the wee ones and the hubs at home. I'll make it up to the girls with a "girly night".

Day 13: Mixer

2010-01-14T09:57:00.000-08:00

Oh what a busy day yesterday was!

I am honored to have been selected as a student for the 2010 graduating class of Leadership Franklin County. This group is compiled of other members of the community that are either leaders now in their work place, or have the potential to be leaders...and I should say not only in their work place, but in the community. We have a session once a month where we learn all kinds of valuable information that will in the end, help us to become better leaders. Yesterday's session covered diversity (GREAT, GREAT session!!), and politics. Both very interesting and informative.

Following the session the current class had a mixer with alumni and faculty members of the program. It was nice :) I believe in this picture, we are probably laughing about stories of skiing and snowboarding.

After the mixer, I had another meeting to attend, so it ended up being a long day, but a good one.

Day 12: Scrub-a-Dub Dub

2010-01-12T17:35:00.000-08:00

After a long day of working, and then a frustrating moment at home, all I have to do is look at these two wee ones and melt. Those big beautiful eyes, and long eye lashes...*sigh* even the tattoos are cute...hehe :)Thanks for making your Mommy so proud to be your Mommy!

Day 11: Then and Now

2010-01-11T17:07:00.001-08:00

My little chubs, so sweet and mushy at 6 months old and now so big and bright eyed at 5 years old. Can someone please tell me where the last 4.5 years went? Anyone? Because I feel like it was just yesterday that I was laying in Bryn Mawr Hospital, with my tiny little bundle wrapped up in my arms, high on the thrill of just having my first baby, exhausted from being awake for over 24 hours. I love every piece of this fiesty girl! Happy 5th birthday Big wee one!

Day 10: Beignets

2010-01-10T12:12:00.001-08:00

Delicious! Not so nutritious, but enjoyed by all.

We made these this morning out of Big wee one's new cookbook based on "The Princess and the Frog" movie :)

Day 9: Make a Wish!

2010-01-09T16:01:00.001-08:00

She has been so excited about her birthday for a long time! I think she's been asking about it for about 6 months and since today was the day she was beyond excited!! She was nervous eating breakfast and had butterflies and was super thrilled when she saw her cake for the first time yesterday. Her party was a success, and now I'm exhausted, but it was all worth it...my baby is 5! Wow!

Day 8: Home.

2010-01-08T18:01:00.000-08:00

After losing his luggage twice, dealing with freezing cold weather, snowy roads, frozen planes and (of course) missing his ladies...Paul is home. Heading to Wisconsin in the butt of winter equals all of that fun, but having him home equals happiness for all of girls :) We are thrilled he'll be home for Big wee one's birthday and I like having him on the floor in front of me wrapping birthday gifts and watching Elvis. Daddy's home :)

Day 7: Clean Up, Clean Up!

2010-01-07T17:28:00.000-08:00

The girls and I know that Daddy doesn't dig a messy room...I mean, really who does? But when he's away it gets a little out of control. The girls are insane, I'll help them clean the room before bed and the next morning before I wake up the room will be destroyed again. So here you go Daddy, I can't promise it will be clean at 7:30 am tomorrow, but when you get home at midnight it will be :) We tried...and we are very excited for you to come home!

Day 6: Embrace

2010-01-06T17:33:00.000-08:00

After Dance Party 2010 in our living room the girls embraced in a loving hug. Seriously, that Big wee one has some serious moves! You can check them out here.

Day 5: Vino

2010-01-05T20:02:00.001-08:00

Sometimes a glass of this just helps. Especially if it is Tuscarora Chenin Blanc...my favorite :)

Day 4: Grub

2010-01-04T17:19:00.001-08:00

When the husbands away the wife will...
head to her mom's house for dinner.
Thanks to Uncle Jay's delicious beef stew, which both girls actually ate, followed by some left over birthday cake (Mimi is a New Year's baby), our bellies were full and the girls were wound up! We headed home, watched a little Miley Cyrus and then crashed.

Day 3: Book

2010-01-03T14:49:00.000-08:00

Two days.
If you love to read like I do, then go snag this book and read it. You'll love it. I did. I finished it in two days. What book do I want to read next?

Day 2: Snowboarding...oiy!

2010-01-03T14:45:00.001-08:00

Snowboarding looks easy. No sweat! Paul and I jumped on the lift, headed up to the top, got off, buckled in our boards...and he set off. I then spent the next exhausting half hour trying to get down! I didn't take to it very quickly, or at all for that matter. I slid, slipped, wobbled my way over to snowboarding lessons while Paul took every other trail down, except for the double black diamond monster trail. With the wind blowing about 50 mph, I still didn't learn much during the lesson, and then fell on my knee and busted it up :( I won't give up...I'll try again. I'm just glad Paul loved it so much after so many years.

Day 1: Relaxing

2010-01-02T06:34:00.000-08:00

After a crazy year filled with so much (on all levels)...it's nice to lay in bed with Paul, doing what we do. Watching tv, reading a book, touching feet...reconnecting. This year is going to be a good year.
