On Our Own

My parents left early this morning and we were officially on our own. The day went really well actually. I was able to get us all fed, even did dishes and laundry. We enjoyed a nice family nap this afternoon. After our nap Vita and I went to Babies R Us and she got me a baby sling :D It's complicated enough to have to have an instructional DVD. It can be worn in 5 or more ways and it looks really comfortable. I'll figure it out tomorrow. I also got the greatest present ever from Britni today :) It's a personalized picture frame with all Tristan's birth info on it. I LOVE it! I went online and just ordered one for Noah too. My friend Sarah also stopped by and gave me all her old nursing tops and a gift card! I'm glad all this good stuff happened today because I was quite sad about my parents leaving this morning. I miss having family around... especially when there are babies involved. Noah asked about Grandma and Grandpa a few times and pouted a bit, but he's used to goodbyes so he adjusted quickly. I hope tomorrow goes just as smooth. Here are my cute sleeping boys :)

:) I'm so excited that you got it!I kept checking the status of the shipment to see where it was,haha.
I still need to order Ava's matching frame.Did you order Noah's to be the same?Ember's is just like Tristan's but with pink letters.

I love their sleeping pictures.Noah seems to like that boppy!

I'm glad you found a sling,what a nice gift from Vita!Hope you have another good day!

I got Noah the same style and lettering and everything, but the reverse colors (I think it will look cool having them be opposite). Noah loves the boppy. I think he uses it more than I do!

I am going to try and learn the sling during naptime... although I do need a nap. hmmmmm

Very bad day today

I got a horrible phone call early this morning from someone I used to work with. A friend of mine, who was stationed in Iraq, was killed yesterday in her sleep when her trailer was hit. SGT Trista Moretti was an amazing person. She had an impact on so many lives in so many places. It's going to be tough for everyone (like me) who can't make it to Jersey to say goodbye. I've been crying off and on all damn day. It seems so unfair. I hate this war and don't agree with it, but I don't think she died in vain. She died for everyone else out there. They fight for each other, not a cause, not their government. That's what I miss about the Army. I miss my comrades. Trista was hilarious and beautiful and had this great Jersey accent. We used to play word games and gossip and eat lunch together every day. We would laugh all day long while we "worked" haha. I remember when she first got to the unit I told everyone some bitchy chick with an accent was in the...

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
