Prayers Needed

I know it has been forever since I have posted on this blog, but this is an urgent request. Our sweet friends, almost, 4 month old daughter has been sick for the last 2 months. She has been in and out of the hospital, received numerous blood and platelet transfusions, had a bone marrow aspiration, a bone marrow biopsy, a central port placed, and just recently a liver biopsy. The results of the biopsy were not positive and they are being sent to the Cincinnati Children's Hospital for further testing. Please, please keep sweet Bellamy, and her parents, in your prayers. They are needed now, more than ever!

Yes, I know that I have been slacking terribly on this blog. We have had a lot going on since Mothers Day though. Mommy had a trip to NYC with a friend for The National Stationery Show, fun, fun, fun! We have had gymnastics classes, birthday parties, baby showers, and day camp. Mommy has also been working very hard on her jewelry shop and supply shop. Momma has got to make some extra money....two preschool tuitions to be paying soon!

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to....

Happy Anniversary (Take 1)

Today is our official 5 year anniversary...according to the state of VA. :) We had already been planning our wedding to take place in September of 2005, with many deposits paid, when we found out Scott was going to be activated (with the army) for a few months. In order for us to keep our finances in order while he was gone we figured we would go ahead and make it official before he left. So on March 26, 2005 we tied the knot in a small ceremony of just us, my parents, the hubs parents and the pastor (an old family friend).

(only current picture of us since all the old pics are still on our other computer)

Although we have two anniversaries a year we typically really only celebrate our September date. But we do always like to at least make a point to acknowledge this day since it is officially the day we became official. :)

Happy Anniversary honey!! Can't wait to see what the next 5 years holds for us. I love you!

Misery loves company

So apparently my kiddos, the ones that normally hate to share, thought it would be good to pick up a nasty virus and bring it into the house to spread around. Poor Logan got a double whammy, not only did he pick up this wonderful upper respiratory virus but he also had a double ear infection. Yep, he hit the jackpot!

So we have been laying low around the house since Friday and I think cabin fever has officially started. How is it that kids can be terribly sick and still have the energy to run around the house and bounce off the walls? (And by bouncing off the walls I mean bouncing off the walls, they have been playing a lot these last few days with their hop balls. HA!) All the while, mommy and daddy feel like they are on their death beds just trying to keep up. Uggh, weekend please come with some relief.

The Magical Self-Cleaning House

What? You don't have one of those? Well, neither do I but I think my hubs might think we do. As I was busy running around cleaning the house and doing laundry, in anticipation of the ski trip my darling dear was getting ready to go on, the hubby was blissfully sitting in the kitchen catching up on his newspaper (ie. comics). As I move from one thing to the next so were my two little shadows. How many times must I yell, don't do that, leave your sister alone, stay out of mommy's stuff, before I get some backup?


Apparently my sweet husband never got the memo that we are not the Jetsons and things don't magically clean themselves. Or maybe I just need to build a Rosie in my spare time....ha ha, spare time. :)

Saturday Afternoon

This is how the hubby and the kids are spending the afternoon..... (our second big snowstorm of the season!)

Say Hello To My Little Friends.....

We have been sick, all of us. Well, we all were sick for the first two weeks of this month at least and then just when I think it is all over...Logan and I are sick again. I got some nasty virus that left me with high temps and body aches. And Logan, well, he got the hives from whatever virus he had. And he got the hives BAD! So bad they put him on prednisone (sp?) and benadryl. Thankfully, the medicine is doing its job and he is on the mend, plus since he is on a steroid he is starting to look like the incredible hulk, kidding. I am also slowly returning the world again.

I feel like such a bum since I have yet to accomplish anything this month. Well, besides keeping up with what is happening in my "friends" (see below) daily life. :) Hope everyone is doing well. I hope to have another post up tonight on Needs vs. Wants.

Long Overdue

Some overdue pictures from the kids birthday weekend through Christmas. I really have been slacking on the picture taking. These are my favorites though. :)

Dear Old Man Winter,

Please leave Virginia alone for a while. My poor hubby was in his parking lot at work this morning when he hit a huge patch of ice, as did the co-worker behind him. Thankfully no one was hurt! Apparently you thought all the work we did this weekend clearing out the mess you left us wasn't enough. Maybe you could also send out a note to businesses on how to properly clean their parking lots when they expect their employees to arrive on time in icy conditions.

Sincerely,
Twinsanity Family

Happy Holidays

From our family to yours!

Please Pray

My pregnant sister-in-law had some bleeding this morning and headed for the hospital. They told her she had an infection and that the baby was ok. She is not in the clear however and now we sit and play the waiting game, praying that her body does not abort the baby. Please, if you are so inclined, pray that this is just a hiccup in the pregnancy and that everything will be fine from here on out.

Dear Father Time,

Just a quick note to ask you if it would be possible to start having rollover minutes? You know the cell phone companies use it to add extra minutes to their time when you have some leftover. This time of year I could definitely use a few extra especially when there are other times of the year when I don't need as many. If you could make this happen, say today, I would greatly appreciate it.

Many Thanks,
Crazy Momma

Rockin' Weekend

This weekend we headed to Frederick, Maryland to see the Imagination Movers! An early 3rd birthday present for the kids. We left yesterday so we wouldn't have to deal with the stress of driving the at least 2 1/2 hours both ways in one day. When we got checked in to the hotel daddy and the kiddos took a little dip in the indoor pool, which the kids and daddy greatly enjoyed. Then we got cleaned up and headed out to dinner at Macaroni Grill...YUM! Macaroni Grill, will you please come and open in Richmond, Va??? Pretty please?? :)

Today we got up, got ready and ventured out to get some lunch before the show. I think that everyone in the restaurant was going to the show because there wasn't a grown up in there without a child.

Once we got to the show we got a few overly priced souvenirs and settled into our seats waiting for the concert to start. I must tell you if your kids like the Imagination Movers this show is a great one to see! The kids and the adults all had a great time listening to the music. I would definitely take the kids to see them in concert again. I shockingly got a lot of pictures this weekend, so here are just a few.
