So my birthday turned out to be less than exciting.  Brad was working on his car which decided to give him trouble on Friday and my birthday fell on Sunday.  He had to try and fix the problems so it could be operational for Monday and getting to work.  I understood, still just stinks it happened over my birthday weekend.    Brad had made some surprise plans for us to go out, but those got cancelled, I cooked dinner and spent some time cleaning the house as it was just another day.   He felt bad for how my birthday played out, and surprised me a couple days later with tickets to see Justin Timberlake! And these were not just any tickets, they were 7th row tickets! Yep, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!   I took my sister with me (Brad is not really a JT music fan). Brittany treated me to dinner and then we took off to the show.   It was such a great show! Justin Timberlake is a true artist.  He is a dancer, singer, actor and most importantly-...

Today, November 17th, is World Prematurity Day.  Many national and international monuments change their lights to purple (the color for prematurity).  People have been posting all kinds of pictures of their preemies.  I decided I better join in and add my voice too. You never know when it may help someone.  So to my dear littles: You have forever changed me and my life.  I could not imagine not having you in my life. Thank you God for looking after these little people as they developed inside and outside of my body. I am thankful for you and your brother (who was not a preemie) everyday.

So we are onto a new adventure...house hunting! We have reached the point of being ready to buy a home again and call it our own.  It is a process.  I have looked at 30 homes at least now, finding what we like, what we don't, floor plans that we think will work well, yards of the right shape and size, neighborhoods.....on and on. We have been looking for a few months now, but I have yet to share on here. Things are starting to slow with the holiday season coming up.  Here are a few pictures of our looking times: And here's to hoping we come across "the one" soon. Or at least hope that I still have the patience to look for "the one!"

Halloween is always fun around here. The kids love it! We had Dominic and Isabella over too for the day and to go trick or treating.   Brylee had a class party that I got to attend. They sang songs and danced.  They also decorated a yummy sugar cookie!   Decorations around the house...  All the kids in costume! And I amazed and surprised everyone by dressing as a scarecrow and painting my face to look the part. End of evening haul!  Group picture!!
