Happy Halloween!


Wow it's been a full day!! Well Mark is home (for now), he got home early this morning and we have been going ever since. After he got home this morning he and I went up to Walmart because we needed batteries so that he could play his game. So we went up to Walmart and picked up the batteries along with a "Guitar Hero World Tour" pack. haha Impulse buy. We walked around a little more to pass the time until Bed, Bath, and Beyond opened because there were a few things that I wanted to pick up from there and then he took me to breakfast at Dunkin Donuts! YUM! We actually got it to go and then stopped at the movie store on the way home to redeem a free rental that we had. After that we went home. It was now about 10-1030am. Talk about a full morning!

Once at home Mark and I watched the "House" that I had TiVo'd for him while he was underway and we ate breakfast. After breakfast we played some "Guitar Hero"!! We did that for a while and then showered and he took me out to dinner at Applebee's. By the time that we got home from dinner there were already Trick or Treater's out and about. Mark and I had initially decided that were going to stay inside and wait for the kids to come to the door but after a few knocks at the door and the dogs being so excited and wanting to be right there at the door to greet them we decided that we were going to go out to the tailgait and put the dogs up there and let them Trick or Treat as well.

Last year we did not get many Trick or Treater's at all and had so much candy leftover; because of that we decided to just get a little candy, not dress up ourselves, and not dress Bailey and Roxie up. Now I wish we had atleast dressed them up! They are known around the neighborhood and even got comments like "There they are. They haven't missed a Halloween yet, have they?" So yeah, they are well known and people look for them each year! They a famous!! haha I really wish I had been able to dress them up. I had the worst time trying to come up with good costumes for them this year; after that comment though it made me feel bad. Last year people were asking to take pictures of and with them and all. It is so sweet and Bailey and Roxie love the attention!

We had some CUTE Trick or Treater's this year! Before Mark and I decided that we were going to go out to the tailgate we had a group of Trick or Treater's come to the door and while Mark was handing out the candy at the door, I was behind him on the floor holding the dogs. This one little boy, probably about 3 or 4, decided that he was going to come inside and see the dogs...haha His mom stopped him but it was funny cause he was trying to get around Mark. There was another little girl at the door who was probably 3 dressed up as a dog and she saw Bailey and Roxie behind Mark and she squealed with delight and her eyes lit up! It was SO cute! This other girl, she was older, probably 8?, anyway while she was getting her candy Bailey decided that he wanted to say "Hi" so he barked, and if you have ever heard him bark you know that it is deep and massive, well that girl froze and her eyes got huge! After a second she goes, "Those are big dogs! Cool!" and her eyes got big again and she got a huge smile on her face and then turned around and went on her way. Mark and I had a good laugh from that one. NOW, let me tell you about one of my favorite little Trick or Treater's...a little Jack Sparrow! This little one was probably about 2 and was all decked out to the max! He was SO cute! As I said, there were a lot of cute Trick or Treater's but he was definitely one of my favorite ones.

We sat out on the tailgait for a while and then the dogs were getting cold and tired and thirsty and Roxie was starting to whine, not to mention that the Trick or Treater's had since tapered off, so we decided to come inside. Let me say, no soon had we gotten inside that Bailey and Roxie got water, went outside to go potty, and they are now crashed out! Mark is playing his game and I am watching "Halloweentown".

It is going to be so good to sleep with Mark tonight! I should sleep better than I did last night. Lats night, although I was in bed by 11pm I woke up at 3am and was not able to fall back to sleep until 630 to which I woke up again, per my dogs, at 730 to feed them and let them out, and then I fell back asleep for about an hour when Mark finally got home and I woke up to him coming inside. A pleasent way to wake up mind you. Hence to say, I am exhausted! Not only should I sleep well with him being home but I should sleep well because I didn't get much sleep last night.

I hope that everyone had a great and safe Halloween! I look forward to next year when I can dress McKenna up (as well as Bailey and Roxie...I learned my lesson about that this year)!

Ciao!

33 Down; 7 to Go

babies
Our new door is being installed...AS I TYPE! As I think that I told you, the backdoor to my house got shattered back in August and then about a month ago all of the glass bowed in and fell out during a big storm. This baby is 8 feet by 8 feet double paned solid glass.

I wish that I could take pictures right now of these guys trying to get this door though my backyard...it's a monster! I think these guys are even a little stumped as to how to actually do this. haha I will take a picture after they get it installed but goodness, trust me, this is an ordeal!

Mark gets home this weekend!! YAY!! I am so ready to have him home, even if it is just for a few days. I miss him. This has been a long underway and there is one leg to go. Sure, it has been broken up into 3 separate underways' but they are all separated by just a few days in port so basically it is all one underway. You know though, I wouldn't trade my life for anything! The days that Mark and I get together are some of the best days of my life! Him being gone really just makes the time that we do get together just that much more special.

Ok now, speaking of Mark, I can't believe I didn't blog this when I found out on Saturday! SO...Mark made an EP on his eval and that means what? That he is able to take the Chief's exam early!! I think think that "early" is December but don't quote me just yet. I am so proud of him!! He also completed his last board on Saturday and I think that he had to have that in order to make chief but he passed and was given the Captain's coin! I like when he brings those home to me. *smile* I don't think that I can express just how proud of him that I am!

I had a doctor's appointment this past Monday and all went well! Something came up, not with McKenna, but now instead of going back in 2 weeks I go back next week. I can't say that I mind though because now Mark does not have to miss another doctor's appointment! He hates missing appointments and I hate that he has to miss them as well so this actually worked out. I was kind of bummed because of the situation that occurred but my mom pointed out to me that it was probably God's way of allowing Mark to make it to the appointment. Gotta love Mom's...they always know how to make you feel better!

On another note, I can't believe that McKenna will be here in about 7 weeks! 7 WEEKS! A friend of mine pointed out last night that it is amazing because 7 weeks is like the end for me and yet he is just about 7 weeks along in her pregnancy and it is the beginning for her. It's just crazy how the same amount of time can mean such drastic different things for two different people. Again, I ask you to please cross your fingers and pray with us that she will arrive before or on her due date. We would love to have her home for Christmas!

Well the door is installed now and as soon as they finish up the last minute touches and leave I will take a picture and post it. The guy who installed it told me that this was the biggest door that he has ever installed. haha I am sure that it is! It is a monster of a door!


Well I guess that is about it for now. I hope that everyone's week is going just wonderfully!

Ciao!

Finally! The Weekend!!

Not too much has gone on this week. It started out going quite well. I had an exam due on Monday, I took it Sunday though, and made a 90%! I was so excited....until Tuesday came and I got an email from my professor stating that a couple of questions had gotten messed up somehow and instead of a 90% I actually got a 95.4%!! So I was excited before but I was ecstatic now!! My week was starting out quite well and seemed to be going by quite fast which is great because the faster the week the sooner Mark gets home!
Tuesday was a good day. I got to thinking that since we are going to be having such a big Thanksgiving I would like to decorate the house so on Tuesday I did some shopping. I got things for my kitchen and things to decorate my mantle...I already did up my mantle and it looks SO good!! It is not complete just yet so I have not taken a picture of it. I have two scarecrows that my mom gave me after Mark and I got married that I am going to put up there but they are in the attic I think and Mark would get onto me if I climbed into the attic right now so I am waiting on him. haha I have not set up my kitchen completely because I am waiting until after Halloween to fully do up my kitchen.
Then Wednesday got here and it was a pretty rough day. Nothing physically happened but I just did not feel like myself. I wasn't unhappy or sad or anything of the such but I was just kind of here. I just was not myself. I was SO glad when that day was over!! It took forever but I was more than happy when I crawled in bed for the night.
Thursday proved to be MUCH better and I was back to myself. WOO HOO!! It never felt so good being me! I did homework and completed a few assignments but the day itself was just a good day.
Now, it's finally Friday!! I had another exam open last night at 11:55pm and it is open until the 31st but I really wanted to get it out of the way. So this morning I studied and took the exam this afternoon. I made a 98.43!! I only missed one question!! Of course on the one hand I was super excited and proud of myself for missing only one question but on the other hand I was beating myself up for missing the one I missed because it was a stupid reason to miss; basically I knew the answer but put too much though into it and ultimately missed it. BUT I only missed one!! haha So I am quite happy with that.
I don't have any big plans for the weekend other than probably homework just to get ahead some more. I figure the further ahead I get the better it will be just to make sure that if McKenna decides to come a little early (which we are ok with!!) than it won't mess my semester up; you know, finals and all.
Well that was my week. I did hear from Mark a little bit but he has been really busy. One night I missed his emails and that quite upset me. Usually I don't get as upset as I did that night but I was quite upset that night. I heard from him the next day though so it was all better then. haha
I hope that your week has gone super!!
Ciao!

Our Sweet Baby Girl

pregnancy week by week
Mark and I had our 3D ultrasound yesterday...so much fun! McKenna was still laying in the transverse position with her head on my right side, her butt on my left, and she had a leg above her head. haha Mark says she will be a gymnast. She is limber already! She weighs about 3.6 lbs and is right on target as far as growth and everything! Not that Mark and I thought her dates were off...we pretty much have the hour of conception down. haha Most of all, she is still a girl! Once again, no doubts but it was confirmed again. Also, I do not think that we have a picture of it but she has hair on her head! The ultrasound tech gave us a CD with pictures on it, I am not sure if it is the same ones that we have in print or if there are others because when I put it into the laptop to look at them the computer won't read the CD AND to make it worse it won't open back up so I can't get the CD out. I am sure Mark will be able to get it out but since he is out to sea he can't exactly work on it right now.
McKenna was moving around while we were there but it wasn't so much that we couldn't get any pictures or anything. She did have her knee in front of her face some of the time but it didn't really block her, you can just see it in the pictures. At one point she did stretch out and we thought we were going to get some other kinds of pictures but as soon as we went to look she moved her little knee back. haha We did get some good pictures though and it was so great to get a little glimps of what our little girl looks like. She truely is amazing already!
If you'll notice in the 6th picture McKenna stuck her tongue out at us. In the 7th picture you can see her little button nose. In the 9th picture you can see her little chin and chubby cheeks. As I said earlier, she had her knee up by her face so you see that in most of the pictures; the only one that it really blocks her is the last one where it looks like she is sucking on her knee something. Who know, maybe she was!

I am still in awe of McKenna and I love just looking at all of my ultrasound pictures...this whole pregnancy has been such an amazing experience! Although I have been ready to meet her for weeks and months now, I am even more ready after getting a glimps of her yesterday! I can't believe how fast this time has gone by...and as I have said earlier, it will only go faster! As it is Mark and I are 9 weeks and 2 days away from meeting our daughter...sounds crazy soon when you put it like that doesn't it? *smile*
Well, it is dinner time and I am pretty hungry...better go get something to eat!
Ciao!

Baby Shower Weekend

As I have talked about for weeks now, Mark and I had our baby shower this past weekend!! We drove from Virginia to Florida while he was in port and had a wonderful time! We have not seen our families since last March so it was a GREAT time!! We got in on Friday night and after we took the dogs over to my parents house and saw Seth for a bit we went over to Mark's parents' house and they took us out to dinner. We went to O'Charley's...yum!
Afterwards, we went back to their house and visited for a little bit before we went back over to my parents' house and Mark, Eric, and I went to Walmart to get some movies and dessert! We were going to actually go out for dessert but it was so late that no place was open. So we picked up some dessert and went back to the house and watched 'The Happening'. By the time that the movie was over I was more than exhausted!! Oh man...so we went to bed. Oh yeah, mom and daddy were still in Texas. Mom had class that week and they had gone out there for that and were getting in Saturday at noon.
The next morning was Baby Shower Day!! I had a hair appointment that morning before the shower so I got dressed and went to that. As always, Kelly did a wonderful job and gave me just what I wanted!! From the salon, Mark and I headed to the church where the shower was being held. The shower was a great time!! There were a few people who could not be there for various reasons but I understand, this is a busy time of year with a lot of things going on! I did not get too many pictures from the shower but the ones that I did get turned out pretty good. I have not taken pictures of everything that we got but maybe that will be my project for while Mark is out to sea this time. Here are the pictures that I did get though...

I am not sure what I was doing but Mark caught meIt's ok though because I caught him catching me...hahaHe's good at catching me mid sentence isn't he?And stuffing my face with cake...it sure was good though!!Not sure what he was saying or what we were talking about.I asked him if he wanted a bite of cake but he said no because last time I shoved it up his nose...haha So I must say that our baby shower was quite a success! It was so good to see everyone that I have not seen in quite some time and celebrate McKenna's life together.
After the shower Mark and his mom and grandma and I all went to the flea market to see if they had anything good but honestly...nothing much. It used to be a good flea market but now it doesn't seem to be very good at all. After we finished there Mark and I went up to the mall to see a friend of mineso we did that and by the time that we finished up there it was time to meet the families at Outback. We all ate dinner and then broke up to go to our respective houses. Everyone was tired and just ready to go home and relax and go to bed. After all, it had a quite a day!!
Mark and I stayed with my parents so we went back there and watched 'Sex and the City.' Mark bought the movie for me because he knew that I liked it and wanted it. Mom wanted to see it and had not had a chance to we watched that and then went to bed. As previously mentioned, we were all exhausted! It was definitely bedtime!
Sunday morning I woke up and let Bailey and Roxie out and decided that I should just stay up; afterall, I had church to go to that morning and I was pretty excited about that! So I got up and had some breakfast and got the dogs fed and all and then started talking to Daddy about anything and everything prettymuch. Daddy/Daughter bonding time, per se. So we were just talking and by the time I looked down at my watch it was 10 o'clock! Mind you, I had been up since about 730-8am. So I went and started getting ready for church and by the time I left it was 11am. Mark was going to go but I knew that he was so tired, especially after I woke him up and asked him if he wanted to go and he said yes he was getting up and then he fell back asleep. haha So I took that as he needed his sleep. He slept until about 15-20 minutes before I got home from church and I got home about 1. Poor thing, he is so drained when he gets home from his underways.
That afternoon we went to Toys R Us and Babies R Us to see what they had left because they were closing in Jacksonville. They are building a big new one so they are closing the smaller stores around town. So we went and bought a few things, a breastfeeding essentials set, a bottle/food warmer, and seems like there was something else but I can't think of what it was. Anyway, just a few things that were marked down lik 40-60%. After that we went to Mark's parents and watched football and hung out for a while. For dinner Mark and I called Eric and went and got sushi...YUM! Yes, there is some sushi that I am allowed to have...thank goodness!! haha After dinner we went home and watched 'Iron Man.' Now, I wante d to see the movie but I was SO exhausted and I had such a headache that I wound up falling asleep. I did see some of it but I admit, I did fall asleep.
Monday, Mark and I woke up and relaxed around the house before heading out to Babies R Us and Toys R Us again (different ones) to see what we could find. We probably went a little overboard but you know what? It's our first and you're supposed to go overboard with your first!! haha No, we didn't get anything rediculous. A lot of it was things that we did need and what better time to get them than when they are 40-60% off?? So we did good. After that we went and met up with my parents and Eric at the Town Center and since we were meeting Mark's parents' for dinner ove there we decided that we were going to take our time and just walk around and kill time while we were waiting. OMG that was a crazy idea!! We literally walked, all day, for a good 5 hours straight. I was HURTING! My legs, my feet, my ankles, there was so much pressure on my stomach, oh man I was SO tired!
After dinner we finally went home and as Daddy and Mark were watching 'Zohan,' Mom and I packed up all the stuff that we got from the shower and that we had bought. That was fun! Looking at everything and such. So fun! So we did that and talked and such and after we finished and the movie ended, we all went to bed.
Oh! I forgot! Before mom and I started packing up and all that we took a family picture.
Bailey decided that he wanted to be in the picture too!Mom wanted a picture with the dogs so we took a few of those and then one with Mark and Bailey and Roxie as well...


Tuesday it was time to pack up and head back to Virginia. It was not a bad drive at all really! We read most of the way...well I read and Mark listened. It was not a bad trip though. I know that I did not talk about Seth too much but we did get to see him a good bit this trip! That makes me happy! He had to work this past weekend while we were in town so it is understandable, you know? Usually his work hours and such keep us from seeing him more than like once so we actually got to see him a good little bit this time!!
Well, it is very late and Mark and I are very tired and ready for bed.
Ciao!

My Photoshoot

Last Thursday was a great day...Mark got home early!!! Of course, my 4 in the afternoon I had already finished all of my house cleaning and packing and such and I was just waiting on a call from Mark to come pick him up. Oh man, I didn't know what to do!! haha As I usually do when I get bored, I put on a fashion show and had my own private photoshoot.
It is pretty crazy how big I am already. Before you go off and think "You just wait..." or "Oh you're not big..." I am but I am ok with that! Can't you tell by the pictures that I am enjoying my body? Some ladies have a problem with their bodies once they get pregnant, I know, but I am not one of those super sensitive people who take things like that personally...I am pregnant for goodness sake! I am supposed to get a baby belly!!
Hope you enjoyed my little photoshoot!
Ciao!

I'm a Pretty Expectant Parent!

On my way home from the doctors' today I stopped at the grocery store to pick up a few things and as I was putting my things on the belt in the check out lane the cashier goes "Aww you are such a pretty expectant parent!" That made me feel really good. Not that I was feeling down or anything because I love being pregnant and showing off my body (...not like that...) but to be told by a random stranger can really lift your spirits! Well unless it's like some creepy old guy...no matter who it is that is just, well, creepy. So yes, that made my day just that much better.
Everything at the doctor's went perfect. I drank the orange stuff that tastes like flat Sunkist and then an hour later they took my blood. In the mean time I had my regular appointment where the doctor told me that everything was perfect. My weight: Good. McKenna's heartbeat: 154bpm: Perfect. My size (how well she is growing): Perfect. I am Rh+ so I don't need the shot: Perfect. So all was well!! After my appointment I still had 40 minutes before they could draw my blood so I wrote Mark and let him know how things went. He had to miss this appointment due to the fact that he is out to sea...he didn't like having to miss it. It is the first one he has missed...but not the last unfortunately. I know of a definite one more with McKenna that he will miss. BUT he will be there when we have out 3D/4D ultrasound done so that kinda makes up for it. Maybe if I ask nicely they will play the heartbeat so he can hear it since he missed it today. We'll see! Anyway, so I wrote him and I wrote my mom and let her know how everything went. By time I did all that and such it was time to go give blood (it sounds so much nicer that way..."give blood" rather than "get my blood taken")! So I did that and 2 vials later I was out the door and headed home! The appointments are getting closer together and that only means one thing...she's really on her way!
I am feeling really good! I have a good diet. I splurge every now and then, like with the brownies I made or the piece of cake I bought, but all in all I eat a well-balanced diet. Mark and I have a good diet anyway so I really didn't change any of my eating habits. Well except for at Subway. You see, my favorite Subway meal is a cold cut combo with lettuce, tomato, green peppers, banana peppers, onions, black olives, salt and pepper, oil and vinegar. That is my absolute favorite....BUT you can't have lunchmeat when you are pregnant unless you heat it up and I refuse to heat up my cold cuts...YUCK! So I am just waiting for the day when I can relish in my cold cut combo...haha
Everything is going well otherwise as well. Mark will be home soon and we are going to Jacksonville for our baby shower. I am so excited! Not only about the shower part and Heaven knows it's not Jacksonville (haha) but about getting to see my parents and brothers as well as Mark's parents...it will be great! After the shower we are all going out to dinner so that'll be fun. I am going before the shower to get my haircut and I can't wait! I have wanted to get it done for a while but just have not had the time and I am so picky about my hair and who cuts it and all that I really only let certain people do major jobs on me. Trimming is one thing but a hairCUT is a totally different thing! So I am going to get my haircut by Mrs. Kelly Knuth, who has never let me down BTW in all of my haircuts, so I am super excited!! The the shower, then dinner...goodness!! It will be a good time. More than anything it will be a time that Mark and I get to spend together without him having to go to work or go on duty or anything like that. Chances are slim to none that he will get called into work so that is a great big plus too! And we will get to see our parents whom we have not seen since March. Yes, March. I was thinking about it the other day and the last time that we saw them was in March when Mark and I went to Jacksonville to go on the cruise for my birthday. And yes, that would be the cruise that I got knocked up on. haha It should be quite a shocker to see me now!!
Well I guess that is about it. Bailey and Roxie are passed out on the couch beside me and I think that I am going to take my cue from them and head to bed.
Ciao!

Another Week Down

Well there really is not much to tell but we're that much close to the start of the festivities!! Mark gets home, we head to Jax for our baby shower, our ultrasound...now to just get through this next week. haha I am hoping that it is going to go by fast. With everything that is going on in the coming weeks I am sure that it will go by fast. I have so much to do before we go out of town so that should keep me busy...not to mention school work! I thought that I was doing so well and could take the next two weeks to study for my up and coming exam but to my surprise there are three chapters in the textbook that I did not know had to be read and were going to be a part of the exam so I have to go back and read those....UGH! But I think that if I can get those read this week I can spend next week studying for the exam. I did good on the last exam but it was super hard AND we had more time to complete it than we will have on this next one. Double UGH!pregnancy calendar
As far as McKenna goes, I am 29 weeks today! Can you believe it?? 11 weeks and she will be here! Give or take of course...haha I am hoping that she will be here before Christmas. I really want her to be. We'll see! As I have said previously we are going to get a 3D ultrasound here in a couple weeks and Mark and I are very excited about that! Although it will not be the same as actually seeing and holding McKenna it will be the first chance that we will get a glance at her and what she looks like. I toyed with not getting then done (Mark left it up to me, if I wanted to get them done) for the surprise element and the fact of the first time that we see her and look at her being so special but ultimately decided that I would like to get them done. I do not think that it will "ruin" the surprise or make it not as special because although Mark and I will have an idea of what she looks like there is so much more to it than a 3D ultrasound can show. As I said, we will have an idea of what she looks like and we will have a taste of what she looks like but nothing will ever compare with the first time that Mark and I lay eyes on our precious baby girl.
Now, don't worry, haven't I done a good job at blogging so far?? Don't I blog and keep up with everything that is going on in mine and Mark's life? I don't plan on stopping now. When we get the 3D pics, after Mark and I relish over them first of course, they will be posted up here just like all of the other pics that get posted and such.
Ok well my movie is over now and I think that I better get some sleep. After all, the sooner I get to sleep the sooner tomorrow comes and the faster this week goes by!!
Ciao!!

It's October!

There really is not much to relay and I don't have too much to say but it is the first day of October and it just feels right to blog! I am SO excited it is October! Not only will Mark be home for a little bit but our baby shower is coming up AND we are getting our 3D/4D ultrasound done! After all of that Mark will head back out to sea and when he gets home it will be November and you know what November means........THANKSGIVING!!! Turkey, dressing, giblet gravy, blueberry salad, sweet potatos, goody bread (maybe, if I ask nicely and there is time), green bean cassarole...ooh all of the glorious food!! And no, this has nothing to do with being pregnant. lol If you know me you know that I LOOOOOOOOOVE Thanksgiving! The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a must to watch and then 'Miracle on 34th Street' at least. Does anyone but me remember what the TV line-uup was for years?? It used to be the Parade, 'Miracle of 34th Street' (the classic!), and then 'It's a Wonderful Life'; these days they play the dog show after the parade....seriously?! I mean come one! Santa just came to town and brought the Christmas season and you are going to play a DOG SHOW?? UGH!! So that's when I pull out the DVD's. I am so excited though! There is so much coming up and December will be here before I know it! My goodness! OH! Let me not forget, before Thanksgiving is my brother Seth's birthday so that is exciting!! I won't be able to be there with him in person but of course in spirit.
So how about next December Mark and McKenna and I are going on a cruise!! It is a family reunion cruise and there is a big group of us going! We leave a couple days after Christmas and are out through New Years. I know what you are thinking "Poseidon" but don't think about that....I'm trying not to. haha I am SO excited though! It probably means another Christmas not being able to go home to Texas and all but I know that everyone will understand. After all, as the kids get older and begin their own families it gets harder to get everyone together in one place at one time, right? But I know that my wonderful family understands. *smile* So where that makes me sad missing another Christmas at home I am super stoked to go on this family reunion cruise and see everyone that I have not seen in a while AND to take McKenna on her first cruise!! I am SO excited!! Mark and I toyed with the fact that she will be so young and probably will not remember it but you know, it's a family reunion! Many, if not most, everyone will not have gotten the opportunity to meet her AND what is a family reunion without everyone there, right? AND how fun would it be to have her with us! Sure, it will be a different experience and Mark and I talked about the fact that we may not have had a chance to have a getaway just he and I but it will be such a good time!! We invited mom and daddy to go but since mom will have to be in Texas for school that first week in January it would probably not be a good idea to go on a vacation and then go straight to school. I am sure that she would not let herself really let go either because she would be thinking about school and all...I would be like that. haha So her and daddy are watching Bailey and Roxie (RIGHT MOM?? HAHA). Bailey and Roxie love it over there and I think that mom and daddy love to have them there.
Ok so I think that is really all that I have to blog right now. Happy October!
Ciao!
