A few tidbits

We saw a silver lining today and got a bit of good news from Josh. We're expecting a resolution by the end of this month :O If we're not together by October 29th, we will have officially been apart for 3 whole years.

Tristan is officially 3 weeks old. I tried giving him a bottle today and he took it right away. YAY! Freedom for me!!! :D (if I ever decide to go anywhere). I think because he was already used to a pacifier he thought the bottle was like a bonus or something... what?! MILK?! haha

That's all for now... maybe I'll get pictures and stuff later. I need a nap again today. Noah was up at 6am AGAIN. I need to go to bed at 9 like other normal people.

PICTURES!

Noah has his digital camera in that last photo.
In other news I have decided that the first thing I'm going to do when Josh finally gets back is leave the house. I'm going to pump and walk away. Josh can handle it. I'm sure he'd have a fun time anyway. I'm a little jealous because Josh is going to Munich for Oktoberfest this weekend. What am I doing? I am going to continue being a playgym and a cow, maybe get groceries and clean. Whoopeeeeee! So jealous :/

Wow - 3 weeks already! Tristan has changed so much already - you can really see the difference in the pics.

Here's to knowing what's next by the end of the month... and to being together for a change!

Hey, thanks for posting the pic of Noah with the truck! Fun to see.

Happy napping!

Happy 3 weeks Tristan!

A playgym and a cow,lol!I hear ya on that one.

I can't believe Tristan just took the bottle...just like that,like it was nothing.Ember acts like I'm trying to poison her or something,haha.I am so happy for you,though slightly jealous :P

I hope you guys are able to find out whether Josh gets to come home or not.I know it must just drive you nuts.I hope you are all together soon.3 years is a long time to be apart.

Tristan's eye are a really pretty shade of blue!Ember's are still green as of now.Around this time is when Ava's eye color changed.We will see what Ember's do.

Allie, if you need to get away for a little bit I could come over and watch your boys. I could leave Maggie with Jamie. Let me know if you need a time-out!

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...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

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...
