Happy Halloween Everyone!

This weekend I hope to add pictures from all boys past Halloween's. They were so little!

Ethan and Nibbles

How cute are they!? This darn cat has won all of our hearts. She puts up with everything even a VERY loving Zac.
Why did someone not warn me how mischievous cats can be however! I could have used a heads-up about that!!!!

Happy Birthday Mark!!!!

We love you sweetie!!! I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful day! I can't believe we met SO long ago....my very first day of college and you were that weird 19 year old poet wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt, tie-dyed shorts and a moon doggie. :) I had never seen a boy dressed like that - no flannel shirt, no hat, no jeans, no boots, no chew. Somehow though I fell head over heals in love with you and I'm so glad I did.
Now we have 3 wonderful boys and our little Zacy looks JUST like his Daddy. What a lucky little boy.
Mark and his mom on his 3rd birthday.
My dear husdand on his 4th birthday. How cute is he?!

We're Back!

The boys and I are back and now Mark is gone until the end of the week on business. If we're lucky he'll make it back just in time to go with us to a Halloween party at the aquarium Friday night.

What a busy and wonderful time we had in Illinois. As usual, my pictures tell more of a story than I can so I will break up our trip into a few different posts over the next several days....or weeks - Busy, busy back at home too! :)

On Our Way!

In a few minutes we'll be on our way to Illinois until Oct. 20th to visit family and friends. Mark will only be staying a few days though . :( It will be a busy time up there - my niece is getting married, we'll go on the scenic drive and we're also going to take a train ride to Chicago with the boy's grandparents.
I'll try to keep in touch as much as I can but I have VERY limited access to the internet up there.

Here we go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
