NEVER FORGET!!

I will never forget every moment of 9/11/01 and the weeks that followed. Gregory was 2 weeks old, and as cute and cuddly as could be, and Eli was loving being a big brother. On the morning of Sept. 11th, I was giving my Dad a call to see how GG was doing(she was very ill and in the hospital), and when he answered, he told me to turn on the news. I was in total disbelief...in shock as to what I was seeing! I had every emotion go through me. Nobody knew what would happen next! I started calling Dave, as I wanted him home, and for the family to be together. I stayed glued to the TV listening to the terrifying news and had both boys in my arms just about every minute of that day. In the evening,I did go to the hospital to see GG, and I will never forget how quiete it was, and hearing almost all the rooms having coverage of the day on TV. That night, and about a week to follow both boys slept in our room. In the weeks..months to follow, people seemed closer...there for eachother, and very proud to be an American.
9/11/01 changed everyone....it was after that day, that I made the decision to be a stay and be home with my kids...my family.
I give thanks everyday for all the men and women that serve our country, and protect us at home and overseas!

AUGUST NEWS

Well, August kept us busy, like most months do:) We began the month with the boys heading back to school. Thus far, they are doing a great job, liking their teachers, and are enjoying seeing their buddies again. On August 7th, Dave & I celebrated our 10th wedding Anniversary. On the 7th, we had a nice family dinner, and the boys surprised us, with getting in their fancy clothes, and being our waiters for the night...too cute! Then, on the 18th, dave & I headed to Vegas for a couple of days!! We had a blast! We did some, wining and dining, a very small amount of gambling,and of course, enjoyed the shopping!! We did the Freemont Experience, and the theme was Woodstock....ton's of fun! We also made it to the Shark reef at the Mandalay bay, which was a great aquarium! It was a great celebration of our 10 years of marriage!! ....And we finished August with celebrating Dave's and Gregory's Birthdays. Gregory chose to have his 8th Birthday party at the lake. So, he had 4 friends and the family come. We did a pinata, h2o balloons, bar-b-que, and had a blast playing in the water...it was a great day!! On the way home, he said he want's to have his party there again next year:)
So, now we're to September, and we're experiencing a heat wave...I think I'm ready for Fall!!
