Twins?

85....
...is the number of photos I took of the girls in their Princess towels and pjs. Which is not nearly as many as the 140 that I took at the Pumpkin patch, and I am too embarrassed to admit the amount I took in their duck costumes. I think they may start calling me Paparazzi instead of Mommy! They are just so cute, I can't help myself! Don't worry, I know that no one but mommy and daddy really want to see THAT many pictures, even of such utter cuteness, so here's just a few: Can you believe they make towels with crowns? How adorable is that!?!
Christmas is a little early this year.
I am one happy momma this holiday season, cuz I already have all my presents already.... Gianna already loves the Christmas decorations and shrieks, "A tree, A TREE.." when she sees a Christmas tree at the mall, the store, etc. Enjoying the joy in her voice, and the sparkle in her eye as she points to each one she sees, is a GIFT. My sweet man is not traveling, and works from home so we see Daddy lots each day, and that is a GIFT. He traveled 3 out of 4 weeks of October. We miss him terribly when he is gone... Aria is healthy. She has not had another ear infection, and the allergy medicine change seems to be working. I am so thankful for health for all of us. I don't take it for granted and it is a GIFT. Ryan has a wonderful heart for giving of himself and is devoted to sharing his faith with college kids around the world through Campus Crusade for Christ. He is using his musical talents to minister. Being used is a GIFT to us and to others. And my most recent gift is tha...
Hi Boebee!
That's what Gianna shouts when she sees him. Three out of the four of my kids LOVE this dog, so although he can drive me crazy, he is a permanent family member( but don't tell him I told you that, I like to keep him guessing.) Notice his paw on the girls puzzle. Trying to look all nanchalant, his plan is to eat as many pieces of the puzzle that he can as soon as I turn my back. "Hmmm, I wonder how many of these I can barf back up at one time?" Although he has a bed that actually FITS him, he insists on curling up on the Yorkies bed. Think he is trying to make a statement? Sharing my sunny spot... Okay, he is actually trying to steal it. He will creep up higher and higher onto the couch until he has it all, and I am buried under the big galoot. He is a nuisance, so just because he made the blog, doesn't mean I really love him or anything!
Gianna~You are my I LOVE you!
I am your parent; you are my child. I am your quiet place; you are my wild. I am your calm face; you are my giggle. I am your wait; you are my wiggle. I am your carriage ride; you are my queen. I am your push; you are my swing. I am your audience; you are my clown. I am your London Bridge; you are my falling down. I am your carrot sticks; you are my licorice. I am your dandelion; you are my first wish. I am your water wings; you are my deep. I am your open arms; you are my running leap. I am your way home; you are my new path. I am your dry towel; you are my wet bath. I am your dinner; you are my chocolate cake. I am your bedtime; you are my wide awake. I am your finish line; you are my race. I am your praying hands; you are my saying grace. I am your favorite book; you are my new lines. I am your night-light; you are my starshine. I am your lullaby; you are my peekaboo. I am your goodnight kiss; you are my I LOVE YOU . ~By MaryAnn Cusimano My sweet Gianna, You have been in our arms fo...
Donuts Anyone?
Tonight we went to a Donut Man concert with the girls. Now, I'm not saying he's old , but Justin and Ryan loved him when they were kids- that's all I'm sayin..... It is amazing, but after 20 years, I still remember the words to the songs! Our friends were also there with their girls- Aria's buddy is Madison, and they are kindred spirits. Gianna and Leah will be wonderful friends too, they are just too little to know it yet :) You can't tell by the picture, but Gianna really got her groove on. She was clapping and dancing with the best of them- look at Daddy's face enjoying his spunky girl! Our "backstage passes" got us an autographed donut and a picture with the Donut Man himself. Okay, so we didn't really have to get backstage passes, he was standing by the front door on our way out. But we really did get his autograph!
My little duckling
