Month: November 2010

When I woke up Thanksgiving morning I had all the usual Thanksgiving Day “snapshots” in my mind…watching the parade, lots of time with family, and a delicious meal.  We got up, and to my delight, Macy was in to watching the parade (for almost an hour…we even caught the Rockettes!).  Doug and I got busy… Continue reading Thankful Thursday on Friday

I am thankful for my entire day yesterday because it was a day that I had been hoping and praying for since I was pregnant with Macy.  What big monumental day was it, you ask?  The day before Thanksgiving break!  (Don’t worry, an explanation is coming)  For the past 6 years I’ve spent this day with… Continue reading Feasts, Parades, and PJs

I am blessed beyond measure and have so much to be thankful for.  My friend Laura set a goal to take pictures of things that she’s thankful for and add them to her blog (lauracatemann.blogspot.com).  I think it’s an awesome idea to make me stop and really think about the things I’m thankful for, so… Continue reading Thankful

Sometimes I post things only because I want to remember them…this is one of those posts.  Macy has her first “real” pajamas this year.  She’s never had a pj shirt that buttoned before…and it’s oh so cute!  I wanted to get a picture of her in them before she went to bed tonight, but knowing… Continue reading Winter Jammies

If you ever put your 9 month old on the floor with some toys while you check your email and start hearing sounds like there are puppies romping around on a newspaper, then you might look up to see this… Note to self:  Make sure that the mail isn’t in the same room as Steven.… Continue reading If you ever…

Doug has diagnosed me with FSD (Food Sensory Disorder).  It’s a disorder that he created when I could taste a sunflower seed in a bagel on our way to Mississippi a few years ago.  When we got to my parents house, we found that FSD is genetic because Doug diagnosed my mom after she said… Continue reading FSD

I want to get the kids out as much as I can while we’re having these beautiful fall days, so we’ve been making a lot of zoo trips.  I love our zoo! Macy has always liked touching the statues, but this visit was the first time that she asked to sit on them…that’s a big… Continue reading Zoo Days

I put Steven in his chair while Macy finished up lunch.  Books are starting to hold his attention (he’s learned how to turn pages…with a little help), so if I put some out in front of him they’ll usually keep him busy long enough for me to get something done.  Macy decided that she wanted… Continue reading Reading time

Yes, it’s late…are you really surprised?…but here are some pictures from Halloween.  Steven stayed home with Daddy because he was ready to eat and go to bed, so Macy and I went out to trick or treat with the neighbors.  Steven still dressed up to be a part of the festivities…at least for a few… Continue reading "Tricker tricker tricker"

When Steven went for his 9 month checkup last week, his doctor said that I could start giving him some finger foods…very soft carrots, cheerios, or puffs.  Macy loves puffs…she still eats them when I buy them as a special treat, so I figured I’d try one with Steven.  He was NOT a fan….at all!… Continue reading The Puff
