My Baby is Sooooo Not a Baby Anymore.

I can hardly believe that the little person to the right is the little baby I remember. She is 5 now and has more attitude at her age than I did at 14. Ok, that may be a slight bit untrue but that it what it feels like.

This is Maici's pre-school picture 2009. I still can't decide if she is looking more like me or her daddy, but either way she can't go wrong. (Now there is some vanity for ya!)

Cider had her big trip to the vet today to have her problems taken care of! We will fill you in on that after we pick her up!

Here comes Thanksgiving. Maici, Paul and I will be watching "her parade" and diving into a wonderful meal with the Moneys! I feel so blessed for everything in my life. I have my wonderful husband, Maici, and the rest of my family and friends. I am very happy to say that I have so much to be thankful for! Count your many blessings! They are all worth the time!

Speaking of counting... I must go and count my funds and budget for the BLACK FRIDAY EXTRAVAGANZA! Then I am off to New York City! Talk about a little fish in a pond way too big for me to tread water in! Don't worry, I will share pictures when I return. If I make it back from Chinatown! :)

Happy Halloween!

Here we are again. Another summer has passed us and we prepare for another Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It seems that the last few year have flown by and This will be Maici's 5th year of holidays.

These are our pumpkins from this year. Paul's is hockey themed to announce his love of Geno Malkin, and Maici and I's are your typical jack-o-lanterns. Boring I know, but we had a great time.

Maici will be a lovely little Cinderella for Halloween this year. She is enjoying wearing a crown and walking in her high heals, but candy is the mission! We have been out trick-or-treating twice and as excited as she is to fill her bag for herself, she still picks out some items that she knows mommy and daddy like.

Maici and I will be going on a field trip with her class tomorrow to a pumpkin patch. We are both very excited to experience this together. I love field trips and can't wait to get pictures of her and her classmates!
