Christmas update

Would like to send out a Christmas cards... we'll see how that goes.... didn't carve the pumpkin, almost didn't finish turkey dinner preparations so I could have my "Left Over Turkey Dinner Soup" ... now it's time to get Christmas set up and all that. One year we had our Christmas up passed Easter ... we'll see how that goes. My life being a FTWM of two beautiful well behaved children (thank God) is challenging. Giovanni is running when he is chased by me or Gianna. Gianna is such a great big sister ... usually very caring. Hopefully I'll post some pictures soon.

Wishing you the best!
Merry Christmas

March2008 Family Update

Giovanni is rocking on his hands and knees ... getting ready to crawl ... 6 months old, sitting up and I swear I heard him say "Luv you ma" but we haven't recorded his first word yet.

Gianna is pumping her own swing (not sure when this started) and apparently not closing her eyes at nap time (I have to check with the school to find out if what she is telling me is true).

Gianna is quite the conversationalist ... last night she told me to come home, after I told her the doll wasn't done, she told me to finish it at home.

Peer pressure starting to affect what Gianna eats...uggh!


Mom had her third day/night out in almost 4 years .... I spent 6 hours with Waldorf moms making a purple flower fairy. Some say I am spreading myself too thin ... cooking from scratch, making dolls, attending and holding meetings, keeping the house clean (NOT), working 40 hours and loving my family of four.
Dad is wearing many hats ... The Fixer, Mr. Paul (who does it all), Great Husband, Great Dad, and I love it when Gianna says "My Daddy" ... "can you fix this my daddy?"

Wow, now I have two children. Here is a family picture. Life goes by so fast when your working 40 hours a week and trying to keep a house ... what do they call it ... clean, stocked, happy.
