Having Some Elefun Time...

We have this new game that we just got the other day for the kids to play together. Most of the games we have are more for Mckayla's age and Connor just hasn't quite got it just yet. But soon he will. So, we got this EeleFungame at Targetand both of them seem to really enjoy it. It is a little more down Connor's lane and he really enjoys it but whats a fun game when just playing it yourself? :)


Connor was getting so excited about it that he just was plain worn out for a minute! Too cute!

"Grandpa's Are Just Apart Of Growing Up"

Today while drinking my morning coffee and looking out the window and watching the snow fall I couldn't help it but think my family. I miss them so much! But the one person that I truly miss greatly is my Grandpa. I miss him more today then ever. Looking at all this snow we have I couldn't help of thinking of all the stories he would tell of the many times he and Grandma lived in NY. He would tell me stories for feet's of snow they would have and how cold it was. He would tell me how he would have to clear the walk way for Uncle Sid and Mom were little before they headed to school. Oh how I miss those stories. If only I could go back in time and be that little girl sitting on his knee listening to the stories he would tell.




He was a great man! A wonderful husband to Grandma, amazing Father to Mom and Uncle Sid and the best Grandpa ever!

There is a picture frame that Grandma still has in her room that I one of us Grand kids gave him years ago. And it's so true...

"Grandpa's Are Just Apart Of Growing Up"

January 05, 2008

I thought that I would update a little since I am sitting here at the phone on a lovely Saturday morning. Today is a nice to day to clean and get things ready for our little boy... So when 2:00pm comes, you'll know what I will be home doing. ...Maybe. =)

Last Friday and during the week I was doing a lot of cleaning and doing some moving around boxes and stuff... more than I should have been doing. Friday evening I was feeling a little sore and my tummy was tighter than it normal. I didn't think anything of it. That night was a very hard night for me to sleep. I was contracting a little and not feeling well. But soon fell asleep and when Morning came it was a little better. So last Saturday I came to work and was doing my regular office duties and my contractions were getting a little worse. So I call my doctor and he wanted me to come into the hospital right away to make sure everything was okay with me and the baby. So I came home called my lovely sister in law and asked if she could watch Mckayla while we go in. She had to do some running around here and just picked Mckayla up right away. Which was wonderful! Mckayla loves her Aunt Debbie!! Quinn and I got something together and made our way into the hospital. It was a little scary to say the least cause we really didn't know what to exsect or do. To make a long story short... they got me into a room and checked me over. My doctor was there as well and checked the baby. And said that he was just a little stressed. It was prob. from all the moving and lifting that I was doing. I was able to come home! Yay, we were excited about that and to know that our little baby boy is doing okay too! I knew that I can't lift more that 25lbs anyways...but if you know how I am, when there is work to be done I want to get it done. Never the less... I can't do that again! My doctor doesn't even want me to really lift Mckayla cause she is well over 20-25 lbs. So..no more lifting for me! =/ which is good in away... I just really have to be more careful.

Last week other than that was a fairly good week. I am ready for next week to get back to normal days now. It's helps us out and easier for Mckayla when she is at daycare the full days that she is suppose to go.

Yesterday Quinn working a double shift at the Pines, so really Mckayla and I hardly saw him. I saw him about 30-45 minutes when I was getting ready this morning to leave for Quinn. But thankful when I get off he will be off today too. =) At least Mckayla will be able to see and spend time with him today and tomorrow before he goes in in the afternoon.

Well that's about it for now. This month is pretty much going to be normal for the rest of the month till the 31st. The 31st is Quinn and I wedding anniversary. It will be 4 years! Amazing how much times flies by! A lot has happened in the past four years. =D

Well gotta run and get back to work...
Blessings and Love!
