Happy 2nd Anniversary

new baby

Heather and Craig finally found out the sex of the baby!!! I've been long awaiting the call. I'm so excited for them, the doctor told them this baby looks perfect. I'm so excited for Heather, I can't imagine the stress and emotion of continuing to get pregnant and then miscarrying time and time again. I can't wait to see how their genes meld into a tiny human being. I bet since Heather and Craig are both blonde that the baby will be a little blondie. I guess we'll find out!

I think they're worried about the temperament of this new baby. Alea is such a sweet girl and very social. Craig said he was worried the baby would have Heather's temperament and Heather said we'll I'm worried the baby will have your TEMPER! HA HA HA HA HA!!!

I'm sure the baby will be a little angel.

Memories of Thanksgiving

In addition to loving Halloween.... I love Thanksgiving. (I love all holidays) I've been thinking about past Thanksgivings recently. I remember some of my most favorite memories of Thanksgiving when I was a child were at my Grandma and Grandpa Radmall's. Grandma was always so thoughtful. Whenever we went to her house after traveling, there was always food to eat. She always went the extra mile for us. She was the kindest Grandma. I remember spending two weeks with her right after my Grandpa died. She seemed really sad, but didn't say very much. I made brownies for her and she showed me the stitching she was working on. I read a little to her. Grandpa always was laughing and telling hilarious stories. He could barely tell them because he was laughing so hard. Those are cherished memories. I have good memories of my Grandma Mencl also. I went to her house one summer and spent two weeks with her. She helped me make a quilt and we watched baseball together. My Grandpa cut the strips of fabric out for us and my Grandma helped me arrange the squares into a pattern. I have it all put together, hopefully during the Christmas break I'll be able to get it quilted. I'd love to have it in usable condition since all of my Grandparents have now passed away. Then I can have it spread on a bed where I can think about them more often instead of folded up in a closet upstairs. My Grandparents were wonderful, I miss them.

Cute halloween costume

I just thought this was the most adorable costume. Heather and I both love bunnies. Alea looks so precious in this costume. The carrot is a cute touch. Look at those little rosy cheeks, what a doll! I wanted to put her on my blog so I could see her often since they live so far away. She's adorable. I can't wait to have babies that I can dress up as cute.

Hugs

Something I read that I thought important....

"Through our many years of marriage, we have discovered an important truth: we can’t survive without our daily hugs. After a hard day of work, there is simply nothing that replaces a good long tender hug.

Something almost magical happens when couples hug each other. It’s as though an electrical charge passes from one to the other, giving a new feeling of strength and ability to face the tasks ahead. It’s the ultimate supercharge. And it doesn’t cost a penny. It doesn’t even take much time, but the benefits are enormous."

James, if you took the time to read this, I expect lots and LOTS of hugs from you!!!
