Mother's Day

Well I've been sick with a nasty cold the past few days, but today I woke up feeling much better! I can taste things and breathe through my nose (sometimes). Josh, unfortunately had to work from 6pm yesterday until 6am today. Then he came home and was writing out counseling statements until 9. He's sleeping now. He made sure there was fresh coffee for me this morning before he passed out.

Tristan's gift to me was the 3rd night in a row of not waking ONCE. He sleeps from at least 8-8 now (knocks on wood). Noah told me Happy Mother's Day this morning and gave me a huge hug. He helped me with the dishes and we made french toast on my new griddle. It can fit 9-12 pieces at a time!! WOOOO! Tristan enjoyed every bite (and did a lot of laughing and coughing)... yeah he only has 2 teeth, but he wants real food!! He hasn't choked yet. Noah ate 2 whole pieces of french toast, not a speck was left. He is a breakfast kind of guy. I've been enjoying my babies, relishing in the fact that I am a mother. On Mother's Day... I am celebrating by being a mom. Imagine that ;)

This is my first Mother's Day with Josh home... it sucks they work him to death. I told him yesterday not to worry about it because I'm not his mother haha. He responded "no, but you're the mother of my children." good answer, babe. Josh will probably be angry when he wakes up and finds out that I did dishes and vacuumed, but I am so happy that I feel better today and the mess was KILLING me! I spent most of yesterday in bed while Josh watched the boys. If I wasn't in bed I was on the couch, being grumpy. I figure I had my break yesterday and being annoyed or upset about Mother's Day is really pointless. Many more to go! :)

I at least want to go to the jeweler and have them add Tristan's birthstone to my necklace. I have mine, Josh's, Noah's, and now we need Tristan's. They're not going to be open today most likely, but I can find out what his birthstone is at least :) Thanks, Google! (It's a sapphire... OoOOoOOoOOOooo). Well if anything of consequence happens today I'm sure I'll update again.

To all my friends with absent husbands I'd like to give a big Happy Mother's Day!! You're strong women and wonderful mothers and no one will ever be able to understand how much you sacrifice, except for others like you :) To all those single moms I'd like to say WOW, woman. I don't know how you do it. You amaze and inspire me every day.

Septembers birthstone is one of my favorites! I think the blue sapphire is so purdy! I have two (October), pink tourmaline *bleh* and opal! I like opal, so it's good I've got two because pink tourmaline is a little too pink.
Happy Mother's Day!!

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...
