Syrup Anyone?

Flora loves sugar, and she loves carbs! So what, in here mind, would be a better breakfast than marrying the two?
Waffles with Syrup.....finger er plate licking good!

The First Thanksgiving

I love Thanksgiving. In fact, I believe it may be one of my favorite two holidays. I enjoy the company of friends and/or family. Flora's first Thanksgiving was magical!
Happy Thanksgiving Ya'll!

First Time....

.....ever I saw your face
First Referral Anniversary

The First of Many Firsts

Halloween! Although I usually love Halloween, handing out all that candy to our 400+ trick or treaters, this year was a bit different. Football has altered our fall. We had a football game on Halloween night. So we were black for the night and did not hand out candy. Nonetheless, Flora donned her first Halloween costume at the football game.

This is the first posts of many firsts as we embark upon the first holiday season with sweet Flora!

ISO the Perfect Pumpkin

Flora was in search of the perfect pumpkin. Sorry Folks.....she found it! The perfect pumpkin now resides at our house. Here she is similar to Goldilocks in search of that perfect pumpkin. This one is too big. This one is too small. This one is just right!

Dada no more

Flora's language is moving along swiftly. Last night we went from Mama and Dada to Mommy and Daddy. Although I am excited, I am sad too.

The Plague at our house

After a wonderful weekend at the homestead we came back with the stomach bug. Yuck. Joe started on the trip. Claire started 90 minutes from home. I started at 11:30 pm and Emily at 3:00 am. It was quick but awful! Flora escaped totally unscathed! I am very thankful for small favors and strong immune systems. One of the worst things ever is a vomiting baby/toddler! Especially for 6 plus hours!
Don't worry no photos documenting those 48 hours........
