Marlee is 18 mths now and still not talking....
I am not sure which way I lean on this....on one hand i hate the shrieking that she does to communicate, we cant go anywhere, it is so embarrassing!
But on the other hand I do oh so love her babbling. When she is riding in the back of the truck and she is just blabbering away it is the sweetest thing you hear. She is like that on the phone too. I just love it and will miss it! I am really starting to miss having a baby, i never thought i would say that but i do. Devin is so big now, i swear i stop and look at her everyday and am amazed at what she has become. When Jeremy and I first met she was this fat sweet little girl that listened. Now she is this tall skinny girl that rolls her eyes when answering you. I dont want Marlee there ever, I want to keep her young and (dare i say?)managable. I just cant believe how big they are getting!
Time really does fly when you are having fun!

keeping up with other SAHMs

i started the couch to 5k rnning program today and i thought that i was dying....maybe i should have a full checkup before continuing, just to make sure i should be throwing myself into it. but seriously i thought that i was going to die! i also quit smoking today and we will see how that goes....i am just ready for a change. i just dont want to be that old saggy lady. we went to a waterpark last week and there were older women everywhere in bathing suits and i could not help but staring and hoping that one day i will not look like that. I am going to start exercising to make sure that i dont. i really need a stopwatch for my workouts and am unsre on where to find one, except maybe a sporting goods store like dicks bt it is so far away......too bad. on another note there is free exercise videos on comcast on demand....cool shit and i will be doing those on the days that i am not rnning. check em out.



onnnn a COMPLETELY different note. i wanted to pt this somewhere indefinately for that good laugh.....
when we came back from our month long holiday to fl we got back to boston and had to take a train to the house. well as soon as we stepped off the train it started raining and we realized that we were at the wrong stop. so we tried to huddle up to get out of the rain and 35 mph winds until stretch could come and get us. well he shows up 5 mins later and we make a mad rush to get us and everything in the truck and home as quickly as possible so that our suitcases would not be soaked. So we get home and we are franticly taking things inside and i realized after we have everything in the house that we left tiger at the trainstation on the platform! jeremy rushed to get to him since he was in his bag with no tags on and if he would have gotten out we would never had seen him again. But Jeremy got there right as his snout was sticking out.....

July....hmmmmm

should i give up on this.....i think that i already have. then i go and read what all was written and realize that i need to keep up with it. there is so much that i will not remember if it is not written and logged somewhere.
so here goes....
it is november and cold
devin started a new school that she likes alot.
i start school next month.
marlee is still not talking.
i got a new phone today.
it is cold, where is the snow.
it is really crazy that we left boston to go to fl on holiday for 1 month and when we come back everything is deifferent. the leaves are all gone and the ones that are hanging on arent that pretty to look at, although some on the ground are phenomenal. i hate that we missed the fall here but or holiday was well worth it.
i am really sweating the going back to school thing and i am extremely anxious to start so i will know what i have gotten myself into. I really need to do this though!
Thinking about signing Devin up for some after-school activities but they all fall on class day for me. We will see how long this works out.
Disney was AWESOME!
Dont know that we will go again though. too much money for what we did.....
marlee enjoyed meeting the characters but dev was bored cuz the rides were not good enough(my little thrill seeker)
okay this is all for now. marlee is up from her nap.
Sarah Bagglio i miss you and hope that one day you will calll me again so that we can keep in touch. I <3 you!

chapter 1 the beginning

ok so i guess i need to put this out there..... so the story starts with marlee walking....we noticed that marlee had a pimp walk and we just assumed that she was already that cool. it bothered me though and we kinda chalked it up to bulky cloth diapers. well after watching her try to run and always stumbling around the place we decided that we should check her legs. mind you this has been over a coupla months. we check her leg and notice that one is shorter than the other and that is why she was struggling. well i took her to the dr for her bum and asked the dr "off the record" what he thought about her legs. he measured and appreciated what we saw. i wanted him to tell me that i was crazy and that is just the way she is. well not the case he said we need to go see a pediatric orthopedic surgeon ASAP. well we took the weekend to do some research and called all around about our insurance to make sure that we can be covered here before we went on the record with this. found out that with our insurance we are able to see any dr that we want as long as they accept BCBS. YAYYYYYYYY! what a relief. we thought we were going to have to fly back to FL and get a referral. ok during all this jeremy contacted a orthopedic surgeon that he used to work for and feels like he is the master of his trade. so the ortho said that she prolly has congenital hip dislocation/dypalysia and we need to see a dr asap. so we researched and talked to everyone we know to find a good dr here in boston. found out that childrens hospital in boston is the #1 hospital in the country for pediatric orthopedics! lucky us we are in a medical mecca here and should be able to get very good treatment. we have an appt on july 21 with a surgeon named samantha spencer at childrens and we will know more from there. as of right now we are trying to get xrays done sometime soon so that we will have all of our stuff together when we see the surgeon. that way we can get the help we need that day instead of waiting on tests. ok so more on hip dislocation.... the thing is the hip does not provide a big enough socket for the femur to fit in so it slides out of place or just stays out of place. IF this is the case then we will have to have surgery to correct the problem and she will be in casts for a min of 4-6 months to help her leg stay where they put it. this should have been caught at her 6 week check and every check up subsequent to date but it wasnt and we are extremely pissed and after we get our foot in the door at childrens we will be finding a new pedi. (i always had a feeling about him but didnt want to screw with our FL insurance by switching) now i know that i can................. we also researched the CHD and found out that marlee has 8 out of 10 of the symtoms, the other two can only be found with radiographic images. we are hoping that this is just a case of a shorter leg but we are treating it as CHD until we know for sure what is going on in her lower extremities. we have lots of things to worry about before the definate diagnosis(whatever is may be) comes in three weeks. i will try to keep you all posted as to what is happening with all of this. so stay tuned for the next chapter. *look ahead....Chapter 2: the x-rays* also let me know if anyone has any questions and feel free to pass this along to family and friends that would like to know what is up with the case Love and miss you allSamantha and Co.

tomorrow, tomorrow

where are you tomorrow, you're only a day away! YAY, picture day is tomorrow! That is all for now since i cant think of anything else.

i hate phones

I am officially without one so now i have to answer the house phone...

Well that leads me to today, I get a "important phone call" One of those recordings that say this is an important phone call please stay on the line for our next agent" Well I do, since these bill collectors have been calling for a Juan Valdez and since this is no longer his number I wanted them to know that so they would stop calling. So I wait, and the recording comes back on and says "sorry we have no available agents. we will call you back." What is that? You waste my time and then tell me you will call me again? People need to pay their bills so that this job of collecting is obsolete.

Postponed

Today was the day that we were to get our family portraits done....but it was raining. I was so upset that I almost went with the shoot anyways, well it was overcast by then but the ground would be wet. So our pictures are outside at the Arboretum and in my head we were frolicking thru the grass barefoot and happy. Since this is my view we rescheduled for Thursday evening, not too far off but further from Mar's 1st birthday :( I cant wait to do this and I don't know how i will hold back.

Since we didn't have the photo shoot we stayed home to spring-clean the downstairs and rearranged the furniture. Much better! Now things are a little more open for our new little walker.

Marlee learned how to get up on her own off the ground so i think we are done with crawling.

Ohhh yeah...I adopted us a US soldier today. We will be sending them cards and care packages to help those soldiers that do not have someone back home to help. I cannot wait to see who we get and what they need. They are the reason that i am blogging and i want to give back to them as much as they have done for my babies. I love my freedom!

Let me just say that again, I LOVE MY FREEDOM! Thank you!

School is ending soon and the all imposing July is coming, what to do, what to do? Are we going home, are we going somewhere else? Will Jeremy be coming with us?
Ok so for those of you who don't know Jeremy is a traveling CT tech and we are currently in Boston, MA and have been on and off since Oct 07. Well July Jeremy has to take a month off here and we are not sure what they are going to do with him. Will they send him to another hospital to bide his time or will we be on a month long vacation. I don't know which i would prefer. We are trying to save enough money for a decent size property and house and having a month off would prolly cut into those funds and we wont be putting more in...but the boat has been calling our name...what to do? A year ago i was a mom to a newborn sleeping all the time and staying in while Jeremy and Devin were on the boat, fishing and swimming everyday! I kinda want that for him again, he works so hard for all of us and I think it would be a well deserved break. But man not working is not working.

We also finally got to bring the new truck home...34 miles on it driven off the lot! I am so proud of Jeremy he knew what he wanted and stuck to it and got what he asked for. He is the proud owner of a 2009 Silver Honda Ridgeline. I love it! Jeremy says it is the girls truck since we will be in it more than him but i know that it is his and i am lucky to be driving it...thanks Jeremy!
I am thinking about getting the photographer to take some pics of us and the truck...do you think that is corny??? Jeremy thinks so but i think it shows us as who we are, No????

Right on,
another chapter bites the dust....
Sam and Co.

My Baby is a Toddler Now!

What can I say she is all over the place! She only crawls when she needs to get to something to stand up, and then off she goes. Sometimes it is just back and forth across the livingroom...practicing. When she learns something new she will do it over and over again until perfected.
Marlee's 1st birthday was Saturday. Devin and I went to the local party shop and raided thier clearance section for supplies. We got some rainbow pony themed plates, napkins, tablecloth, centerpiece, and banner. We also picked up hats for us and a special hat for Mar. She dug into her cake but really only wanted the pink letter icing. She didnt get all messy either.
She had fun and then we had Tball pictures to go to, hope those turn out good. And later Devin had a game. I let Jeremy rest up since the next day was my day off.

Mothers Day was good, I got to sleep in. We had to go to Devs game @ 11 and then the rest of the day was all me. We picked up some Tonys togo and headed to the Harvard Arboretum for Lilac Sunday....ahhhhhhhhhhhh. We found a great spot in the middle of the rose garden down a path all to ourselves and laid out to have a pick-i-nic. We had a good time and then we went to look around the gardens. We found some crafts for Dev to do and we marched in a musical parade to the lilacs....
Now the lilacs deserve thier own post, they were so beautiful and the smells....but i am not going to.
So back to my mothers day...and the lilacs
We walked thru the lilac garden and saw so many different kinds, I was not aware of all the different kinds. It was breathtaking. We has so much fun smelling and taking pics. We walked down a little further, since i was also scoping out some spots for our upcoming portraits there, and found the greenhouse. They had an area of miniature trees that had some older than 200 that were amazing. Marlee and I actually have a playdate there tomorrow that i am excited about, that is how much I am in love with this place. I cannot wait to explore the whole thing!

Took Marlee to the dr on monday for her 1 yr appt and everything looks good. Yay.

On another note I met a mommy today that had a 10 month old and a 5-6 yr old and we may have a playdate coming up. We will see...
Til I post again.

St Judes

I just wanted to put a post about St Judes.

With the way things are in the economy, charities need our help more than ever. We have a special place in our hearts for St Judes in this house. Let me tell you the main reasons why...

#1 is kids! They are a childrens hospital that excepts everyone, insurance or not. All the treatment there is free, unless you can afford to pay something. How great is that? No matter how sick or poor you are, you know that your children will be taken care of. Please look them up and try to add them to your list of charities that you give to each year.

If you dont have money to give then volunteer, especially if you have kids. They need to know that there are people out there that are worse off and we as their common man should lend a hand. We need to stick together as humans instead of fighting one another. We are in continual battle no matter where you turn. Everyone is fighting someone over which one is right. We need to step back and help people instead of bringing each other down.

So give to the ones that need it if you have it. Most of us are able-bodies that need to be humbled every now and again.

On a complete other note(but i cant get it off my mind), my daughters 1st birthday is tomorrow!

If you need anymore info on where to get started volunteering let me know and i can point you in the right direction. I know of lots of places that are begging for help!
https://volunteer.united-e-way.org/ this site can help you find ways to volunteer as a family.

Good Luck and Happy Volunteering!

what was i thinking?

Day to Day??? I knew that i could never keep this up day to day but i really need to start trying. I wait so long that there is so much to write and then i dont want to waste that much time. I feel like the snip-its arent enough but the long ones are a pain.

OK so here is what has happened since last weekend. I took Dev and Mar to the park for a gmae while Jeremy was ordering his truck. Too bad i wish he could have been there. This game was played at a different field that had an electronic scoreboard and announcer that never got devs name right until her last at bat...oh well she should get used to it. This time though he was getting her first name wrong. They made sure to come over and ask us how to pronounce our last name but got the first one wrong....Devon is not how i spelled her name so that this wouldnt happen. Ok so in the end he got it right and they had a great game, even getting 3 outs in the top of the last inning! GO Guppies!
On sunday we went to a may fair in harvard square and skipped devs practice. it was pretty cool to walk around and see all the vendors and fair food....yummy! We walked around for awhile and found a really cool gift for my very good friend KimmyT, whose birthday is one day after marlees(marlee wasnt about to share her day). We also saw a hot air balloon being blown up. It took a long time and it was huge, they had it staked to 4 vehicles. But we saw the ending result and dev was amazed. The reason this was so cool for me is that we went to NM for a wedding/my bday and i was telling dev that they have these huge races there and how cool it was but she had never seen a hot air balloon and wasnt getting the picture i was painting for her. I never thought that we would get to see one in person.
Sunday was also the day that i started weaning marlee. so far pretty good(as i write this 4 days later)...
I am in so much pain and i cant wait for it to get better. It took 48 hours for me to be able to put my arms down by my side, but now it is slightly better. I can move around and get down and play with the baby now so that seems to make her happier. She is walking all over the place now, the only time i see her crawl is to get to wherever she needs to be able to pull herself up. It will be a long time before she learns how to stand up on her own. She doesnt try at all. When she does learn something new she will do it over and over again until she figures it out. She is amazingly smart but doesnt care about communicating. I think the 2nd one never does. She also gets into to everything that i take away. She only wants what she cant have. I Love Her!
So today we are off to whole foods to find a cake i can make for the upcoming bday, and off to the PO to ship some stuff. Man i hate that line.
Saw devs wrestling practice and she got taken down in the first one and in the secind she got a leg and put him down into a hold and won! She is pretty aggresive with it but doesnt pay enough attention to be really good. She is there for the social aspect.
The game was cancelled due to inclimate weather and i am not sure if it will be made up....hope so.
We also will try to transplant our sprouts(well the ones that sprouted) today.
Did i express how much i love the spring. It is the most beautiful thing i have ever seen. i will take some pics as soon as there is a bright sunshiney day.
All righty then ta ta for now!

How you been doing?

We have been doing fine, just very busy.
Recap: Devin and I went to children's play in Hyde Park, it was Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. This movie is the first movie that Dev would sit thru and it saved our sanity on the car ride from Panama City to Boston. And since this is my all time favorite, this was a sure thing. We had so much fun, although if you ask Dev what her favorite part was she will tell you when she got to blow her $3 bubbles for the fizzy drink act and the $2 everlasting gobstoppers. But she did pay attention to the whole thing and was loving every minute of it!

Next day we got up early and went to the Gore Place for the 22ND Annual Sheep shearing Festival. They had sheep being sheared by hand and electric. They also had sheep and goat herding dogs. We had to pay $20 to get in, unbeknowst to me i thought it was free. So anyways, like i said in the last post we didn't have much time. We ended up staying for 1:45 min. So we went straight to the sheep and saw them shearing with a razor and the sheep was so calm and i think happy to lose all the dreads. The guy said that they have never hurt the sheep so that is why they are so docile in the process. Since they have never been hurt by the farmers, they are not afraid of them, the dogs another story. Then we went to the hand-shearing tent, where the guy doing it has prolly been doing it his whole life. He sheared the whole sheep by hand with these huge scissors and then laid out the fleece, truly amazing to us. They even gave us some fresh fleece to take home! It was extremely oily and needed to be washed, but still how cool? Then we went to watch the herding dogs! This was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone should be able to watch these beautiful natural instints take place. The dogs were amazing in thier ability to listen and observe the whole field and know exactly what was going on at all times. They knew thier place and thier job and they did it like they loved it. Like the saying goes, "It isnt working if you love it", and these dogs did not seem to be "working". They even had a 9 month old who was leashed the whole time except for once when he was let go and he went crazy trying to round up the sheep and goats, it was very entertaining. We could have watched them all day. Nature at its best!
Next day we went to the park for a stroll, bike lessons and a pick-a-nic basket. All right so everything was great, we found a good spot on the charles river and we ate and sat around enjoying the breeze and mother nature. All right so Tiger and I went on a run, well Tiger runs after me on Devs bike, anyways we go and drop the bike off at the car and go back to meet the Co. and right when i meet up with them Marlee falls out the stroller and catches herself with her face. We pick her up and she was just pouring blood and screaming and Jeremy freaks out and says we need to go to hospital. So i ride in the back with the girls and i am trying to convey to jeremy that we need to reevaluate the situation and finally i get him to. He decides that he wants to pay a doc to let us know that she is ok. We get to the ER and they are setting up a quarrantine area for suspected flu patients(no good). While we wait the 2 hours to see a dr we decide that it is a school night and we need to get home and we leave.

Next day i drop dev off at school and proceed to the pedis office. Dr says she is good and all is ok!

Two days later Dev has wrestling practice and then straight to a game. She did as good as she can. Tonys is loving us and the late games.

Yesterday-Jeremy tried to buy us a new truck but the dealer doesnt take bank drafts. Too Bad for them, it was a guarenteed sale. Too bad for us, i am still in the company rental :(

Today Dev has practice and Marlee is walking all over the place. Wherever she wants to go. She cannnot stand without pulling up but once she is there off she goes. She thinks she is the funniest and coolest kid. We must give her that impression...

Wow so this has turned into a novel and you are lucky cuz i am stopping. The school just called and i have to go and pick devin up cuz she has a rash on her chin from jawline to jawline. so since i have to drive all the way there to check it out then i am just going to pick her up! Happy Friday and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

~One Love~

jeremy~a big bear hug

Marlee took 6 steps today. She took a lot of 5 step strolls but she capped out at 6. Wont be long man wont be long....

just documenting

marlee took 5 steps in a row tonight! 3 while dev and i were at the play. will not be long!

word of advice

if you are a parent and your child can play in organized sports, please go tomorrow and sign them up! this is the greatest thing that a parent can do for their child and themselves. I finally made it to one of devins practices and i cant explain how hard i laughed and how much i enjoyed it! those kids were absolutely awesome and i cant wait until sat for the first game!

Spring break has been an awesome week and tomorrow it is offically over ;( Devin says it feels like a long time and i feel like we could have done so much more. like today, all we did was go to the library for a free arts and crafts workshop where dev made butterfly wings and a tiara hat for me. it said i love you mom on it! she really is growing up. the lady that was running the thing was a brazilian living in mexico. she was only talking spanish in the class and devin got everything and even picked up some new words. what really got me though was when we were leaving and i told devin to tell her thank you, devin turned around and said "gracias"....how awesome is that? i love her school. she is learning so much!

Soooooo tomorrow it the willy wonka play and then saturday is devs first game against the eagles...Go Guppies! we will also try to get in a sheepshearing festival in the morning from 10-12 and then come back for dev's 1:30 game. i know that it is a lot, but when will we be able to see a sheep being hand sheared? i say we do it! i hope the rest of my CO. is ok with it.....

until i post again....

One Love

Happy Earth Day!

so today we decided the best way to celebrate was to go out and buy some plants to plant. we bought two window boxes and a pot. in one box we will be doing herbs and in the other it will be flowers and in the pot will be some kid size sunflowers. we will start the germination process tomorrow. i cant wait to see them sprout. we went to the library also to try and find some books but there was nothing for devin's ability so we will try to do it on our own. devin wants to dig in the dirt now!

tomorrow will be another tball practice and then saturday will be her first game.

also i bought tix to a local play of willy wonka and the chocolate factory. this is my favorite movie and devs too so this will be awesome. it is friday night and it will just be dev and i. she needs the time for just me and her. this should be interesting though. jeremy and marlee by themselves without me to nurse her to sleep. hopefully i wont have to miss some of the play.

hope that all is well with everyone and i hope that you hugged a tree and planted 10 more.

Happy Earth Day!

Catch-up

so here goes...(not in order, just whatever comes to mind)

i was rear-ended in the rental car and the guy drove off, but i got his tag # and spent 3 hours filling out a police report.

Devin started wrestling on wednesday afternoon. she likes it and it makes jeremy happy. they have so much to do now between practicing t-ball and showing wrestling moves. she is worn out.

Marlee and i went to a friends house for a playdate and had a good time. we walked down to their community garden and mar picked some lettuce and chives and tried to pull up the garlic that was not ready yet, but she had so much fun. she fell asleep on the walk back and stayed asleep for hours, even moving her from the house to car to house.

Opening Day was Sat and there was a parade and a huge flag that was almost as big as the infield. Devin liked being in the parade. she was walking along waving and looking for us. she thought she was hot stuff in the parade. I loved it. They had their first practice today and Mar and i didnt go since it was nap time but jeremy said that she did good. i am so proud of her. she is finally coming into herself and finding meaning. I hope that she sticks with it...

So marlee took her first step...i exclaimed really loudly and jeremy freaked out thinking that the house was on fire. no it was just a monumentous occasion and i was so happy. so....later she did it again in front of jeremy and guess what??? he reacted the same way i did. sucker! i told him he would. it makes your heart jump to see that. marlee also is going to be getting her other front tooth soon so she will have 4 teeth. Thank goodness i will be done with breastfeeding soon. i cant wait. freedom!

Well devin is on spring break this week and patriots day is tomorrow. it is celebrated in new england for paul revere's ride to tell the british were coming. all state offices are closed. they are also closed for columbus day too which i had never heard of before. also tomorrow 4-20 will be the boston marathon, we may go scheck it out. i heard that the top people are doing 5 min miles! isnt that amazing? i just think that devin would be bored or i would definately go. as soon as i am done blogging i will pick the parade that we are going to go to that we can get to with the marathon will not interfere.

GO Guppies!

whew

Not Much

but we got AEROSMITH tickets! I cannot wait to finally get the chance to see them! I will try really hard tomorrow to do a better post on what all has been happening. Devin had her Opening Day today and there was a parade and a huge flag and bands, it was really cool! I will post some pics and let you know what else is going on.

I got Aerosmith tix!! I am still giddy as all get out...

more tomorrow, hopefully.

also tomorrow is devs first practice with her new team, GO Guppies!

till then...

long time, no post

So i know that it has been a coupla days, but they have been holi-days...

So #1 reason for no post is no power for the laptop, the AC adapter apparently died. So i called gateway to see if they can point me in the right direction of an authorized retailer, no such luck. I guess the Gateway has no such thing "they try to put their products in all kinds of stores". She heard the diliema with best buy and could not offer anymore help. Mind you I keep everything on this laptop so devins easter was on here and i thought i wasnt going to be able to take her to the festivities. So as long as i said i was going somewhere else it was ok to buy a new one. The gateway woman on the phone said that she can ship me one costing 40-something $, so beleive the surprise on my face when i went into the big blue "box" store and saw a universal one for $109. What is going on? How can it be such a huge mark up and not even a name brand model. So............I had to get one. My plan is to use it while i have gateway send me another one and then returning the blue box store version of a rip-off.

Meanwhile, we got to the church on time and Devin had a great easter! She was so happy with the easter bunny. She also got to go on stage with the rest of the sunday school and sings some songs she just learned today and we think she was WONDERFUL. She did such a good job! Marlee did a good job of looking pretty on easter. Twice a photog asked to take her photo, I hope that one day i will get to see them.....

Here are some of our pics...

The girls in front of the first sign of spring, a blooming tree.

Marlee in her pretty little dress and sun hat that she LOVES.

Devin showing what she found from the Easter Bunny. Check out the shades that that crazy hare left.

Tomorrow Devin is off school for Easter Monday so i went to the local library and scored some Museum of Science passes and i will try to see if some friends want to join us but i am not so sure that will happen since it is so last minute but here is to hoping they like free things as much as me.

Till you peek again,

Sam and CO.

Are you seeing spots too?

So yesterday while i was finishing feeding Marlee i noticed that her face had spots all over and i pulled up her shirt, same thing. I freaked out and was preparing a trip to the er, but i called the night nurse and she said it sounded like a viral rash and to wait it out and call in the morning. I called and they said to come in to make sure it was what two different nurses have told me it is. So 11 am rolls around and here is naked Marlee and relatively warm mommy waiting for the doctor. Dr comes in looks Marlee over and confirms. So a viral rash it is.


Devin has been pr acticing throwing and catching and is getting somewhat better, but better none the least. I have a special place in my heart that is ecstatic that my little girl is playing ball. My childhood was on a field or at the field. My fondest memories are of Lynn Haven Dixie Youth. Although, trying to teach her some drills to help her learn how to throw properly really made me sad. There was a certain drill that I could not remember that i knew if i could call my dad and ask him he would know and be able to help me remember others. Man I miss what could have been...

Tiger is missing Heather I think...

Oh yes Devin is out of school this friday and monday so I rented Marley & Me to watch tomorrow since we will be going to the Museum of Science on Monday and Easter things all weekend....YEAH! So anyways, I cant wait to see the movie and i will let you know what everyone thinks after it is all said and done.

Good Night!

Catch up

Today was catch up day. Marlee has been running a low grade fever these past coupla days, we think she is cutting a tooth, so she has been clingy. Today, however, she slept for 3.5 hours and I was able to clean myself and the house.

Right now Mar is nursing and Jeremy and Devin are outside playing catch. We put Dev into T-Ball on the 26th and still no word on a team so we have stepped up and are praticing with her...when it isnt raining. We bought her a bunch of equipment and among that was a pink glove! I dont remember pink gloves in my day(did that sentence just age me??) all i am saying is, pink? Why did i have the girly-girl? Although, Devin is also signed up for a once a week wrestling class at school. Her coach was state champ. It should be interesting... Jeremy is super excited about it. Devin is getting so big and i see it in pictures. Marlee is almost a year old already...where does all the time go?
