First Post

The first time is the scariest isn't it? I plan to use this site to help me with future journaling in my scrapbooks. I am a crazed scrapaholic. I am behind in my albums though. I thought that if I write down what I am thinking that it will help me later.
There are a ton of things I want to remember. Like how I picked Madison up from school yesterday and she was wearing a turkey hat that she made in school. It was so cute to watch 20 kids walk out of her class all wearing turkey hats. They looked so cute.
I also want to remember how cute it is to hear Danny talk. He talks really well for a 2 year old. I love to hear him say "Hot Balloon" in the car when he is watching Baby Einstein (for Hot Air Balloon). I love how he calls socks "Hocks". He has a little trouble with S's. I like how he calls Spiderman -"Man" instead of saying the whole word. Yesterday when I changed his diaper , he had a slight rash and I put cream on his bottom, he told me "Good Job Momma, Good Job" -how cute is that? He is just so cute and smart.

We went to Aunt Chris's today for Thanksgiving. It was crazy and chaotic, with over 20 people there. In attendance: Nancy and Paul Christel, Ronnie Cervantes and his girlfriend, Joey and Chris, Joe Cervantes and Sherry, Willy, Mike and a girl, Dave, Aunt Chris and Uncle Mike, Jason and Jen, Jen's parents, Oma and Opa and of course all 4 of us. We had more than enough food with everyones favorites: Turkey, ham, Potato balls, deviled eggs (which Madison tried for the first time and really liked), my homemade bread (Danny loved that) and a million veggies. There were tons of pies and I brought LBJ delight (the price of admission for me -I am always required to bring this and my homemade bread).
Tommorrow I will get up early and do my traditional Black Friday shopping. I will be at Target at the crack of dawn. I am looking forward to it though, I enjoy the craziness and the great deals.

Yesterday was my last day babysitting for Teri and the girls. I am sad. It has become part of us. We have been babysitting the girls for 7 months. It is part of our routine and the kids are like brother and sisters. It is going to be a big adjustment. Danny is Sammy's husband (according to Sammy). She is sweet, smart and sassy. Bailey is autistic and can be sweet as can be and super silly. She can also be difficult, it is so unfair. It has been good for all of them to be together, they love each other very much. Danny says both their names very well. He loves to tease the girls by taking their toys-it always gets their attention. Madison and Sammy are like peas in a pod. They are so much alike. They love to play dress up and Sammy is always the Princess while Madison is the Queen. Madison used to be content with being the Princess until she realized the Queen was even higher.

Well enough rambling for today.
