Seeing Santa 2012

ByKaren

I am not a big fan of the mall or the craziness that is happening there at the holidays.  Plus we don’t live close enough to one to make me want to drag the girls there to take a picture.  Call me lazy – but I just hate that place at the holidays!  So I’m happy that we now belong to the Westerly Yacht club and each year they have a children’s christmas party and Santa is there, of course! Holly’s getting kind of big to sit on Santa’s lap but she still wants to and I think it’s cute.  Allison doesn’t seem to be phased by him the last two years so I’ve been able to get her to sit on his lap. Not…

Family Pictures

ByKaren

Friends of mine set up a photo session for our family.  It was gifted to me in September but with Steve having surgery in October, we never got around to doing it.  Now that he’s in his last days, we knew we had to make it happen.  The photographer was kind enough to come to our house and work with us in taking some pictures. I dressed us all in blue for colon cancer.  And I love the results.  We will treasure these photos forever!

We are home……..

ByKaren

It feels so nice to be home with my family. Thank you Jodi for keeping everyone updated. You are such a great friend!!!!Allison and I came home on Saturday, we stayed one extra day and I’m glad we did. I’m nice and rested and feeling great. I enjoyed my time with her in the hospital, but it’s so good to be home with Holly and Steve now. My in laws left Sunday and we’ve spend the day together as a family and it’s been great. Allison is doing fantastic. She is such a good baby. She is eating a lot and sleeping a lot too. Our first night home went very well. She woke up every 2.5-3 hours to eat, but went right back to…

Pretty Dresses from Italy

ByKaren

My mom went to Italy last month – alone!  I’m so proud of her.  She had a great time but was very homesick too, which  I figured she would be but I’m so glad she went because she has a lot of family there. She had fun shopping and bought the girls these really pretty dresses….. This picture was taken outside Allison’s school the day before her last day.  It was the best smile I was going to get!

A Blonde Zebra???

ByKaren

Have you ever seen a blonde Zebra?  I have. Of course I have. No, I’m not crazy.  I just live in a house full of Zebras so of course I’ll see weird things happening with those Zebras.   Put a Zebra, a 4 year old and Repunzel together and guess what you get? A blonde zebra……………… See I told you!

Back To School Time

ByKaren

“It’s the most wonderful time of the Year!!” Oh wait, that’s the holidays not back to school.  Bad Me.  LOL Yesterday was the first day of School and at a new school too!  They girls were very excited.  Especially Allison because she entered Kindergarten.  She’s finally in the same school as her sister.  She feels awesome! Holly started 2nd grade and was a little nervous and cried for a little bit before she went inside but she’s in the same class as our neighbor so that really helped her. She got over it pretty quickly in the end. We took a few pictures at the house first… And a YIPPEE Picture as well – though I’m thinking mom was more “YIPPEE” than the girls were….
