One Sunny Day in North Carolina

It was so beautiful outside today, we went for a walk. It has been raining for the last week (compliments of Hurricane Ida?) It has been cold, yucky, and stay inside kind of weather.
Sam roller bladed, Jake walked, Ty did the stroller, Diesel walked, most of the walk. At the end of the walk, the pot of gold... The playground. Jake and Sam had a great time running around.
Deanna (Ty's occupational therapist, and our roommate) did some therapy. He responded well, with the exception of the swing......

Twas the Night Before Halloween

We discovered when making a last run for the final items for Sam's costume on Friday night, that KMart had activities for children throughout the store. The one that Sam enjoyed the most was the create a Mummy. I was offered by the employee as the subject to mummify, but Sam wanted to make Jake into a mummy. The picture shows the extent of his patience, and Jakes. When it was Sams turn, Jake refused and told me I could do it. I had a little fun....

Diesel

The dog is Diesel.....he has been so much fun, for all of us. He loves to play with all 3 boys, and loves to snuggle with me, and Jake begs for him to sleep with, every night. He is not a yappy dog and has been so tolerable of Ty pulling him, pushing him, laying on him, dragging him. He is fun!

Getting Older

I appear to be aging....not sure when this happened. I look at the picture I have put on for the main picture, and then I look at this picture. I don't feel older, but looking at the faces of my children, I am definately getting older because they are growing up. I believe this is why I color my hair. It hides the evidence of me getting older.

Ty will be starting pre-school in a few days - again, another indication that I am getting older. I have really struggled with him getting older. He and I have sort of been so connected since conception. After birth, when he lived in the NICU for 88 days, there were very few days I didn't see him. Once home, he pretty much, went and did everything with me. That hasn't changed over the past 3 years. It is now.

All 3 of my children will be in school, as of November 9, 2009, ALL DAY LONG!!!!!!!!!
