words of comfort

I wanted to add to Lou's picture post.... thank you to all of our family and friends that have supported us and comforted us during this extremely difficult time. Losing our loved one so fast and unexepectedly has left (at least me) in a fog - a version of denial. Time seems to have stopped and is standing still, while we continue to go through the day to day motions of our lives. It is so surrreal.

We did have a chance to celebrate the trio's 2 year old birthday, on the 7th... with a get-together at ChuckECheese and I look forward to getting some time to download the pic's to share them... we have also had lots of time to interact with our cousins, and meet santa while we have been in Cleveland- so I hope to get those up on the blog at some point as well.

Love to all -

getting ready for Christmas

Because of their mischievous nature, we didn't dare put up a Christmas tree last year... and also due to lack of room, I didn't intend to put one up this year, either. I caved. I just kept thinking how much fun it would be for the trio to have their own tree, decorations, and nativity to play with... and what harm could a 4' tree do? I am sure something will happen...it just hasn't happened yet! (Don't you love Gabby's stance... the hands on the hip is a new attitude thing...)




wild woman

Ooh... that hair and smile... Mary is our wild one - down to the tips of her toes. She loves to run around "playfully screaming" (is there even such a thing?) just because she is so excited.


poor mateo....

Poor Mateo - trying to be a boy in a girls' world. He is surrounded by two sisters who are complete "girls" in every sense of the word - down to their shoes and purses. Well, if you can't beat em', join em!

a woman can never have too many....

Ahhh, yes... a woman (or little girl) can not have to many bibs! (Thought we'd say 'shoes', didn't ya?) It is crazy... one minute, we are begging Gabby to use a bib, and the next thing I know, she has FIVE of them on... all at one time, of course. The favorite one being "froggy."
