All My Love, All My Life

Merry Christmas

We had a quiet but wonderful Christmas, it was weird not having family or friends over, but it was nice to spend time with my hubby and little ones. This year we went to New York City the day after Christmas. It was so awesome to see all the sights, I have seen in so many movies. I was thrilled to share them all with my girls. Here are some highlights of Christmas Eve, Christmas Morning, and NYC.

Thanksgiving in Vermont

Since it is almost Christmas I guess I should post our Thanksgiving pictures. We spent the weekend in Manchester, VT. The girls traveled well. The weather was great. We even got some snow flurries.

Happy Birthday Reese

Two years ago today I went to the hospital to get my vitals checked, for the planned c-section on the 15th. But we soon learned I was having contractions and Reese's heart was low. So 2 hours later I was in the operating room, giving birth to my beautiful daughter. She cried so loud, when they were cleaning her, that she scared the doctor. All the nurses kept saying she looked like a Gerber baby. It was love at first sight.

Since then she has kept us on our toes, she is a quiz when it comes to building things, she loves blocks, and trains, anything she can move around with her hands. She has a smile that is contagious, and a laugh that fills the room with music.

We celebrated Reese's 1st birthday in Italy, my parents and brother came to town for the party. It was nice to be surrounded by family and friends.

Happy 2nd Birthday

October..or as I like to call it Birthday Month

So far October has been wonderful, the weather is nice, the leaves are turning colors, and Brandon is home. It's so nice to be in a place where fall exists. We are use to hot and humid all year round. We went to the Zoo a few weekends ago and to a Pumpkin patch last weekend. Here are a few of the highlights
