This was the first year we dyed eggs, the first time we hosted brunch for our families. It was a great Easter despite me being sick with an ear infection. </p> <p>On Saturday Xander and I dyed the Easter eggs. He had a hard time waiting for the eggs to be able to come out of the cups. Xander loved coloring on the eggs with the crayon before we dyed them. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-xFkX5lRSR9E/T5dY_P0U2WI/AAAAAAAAJvI/katKVYMc7FQ/s1600-h/DSC_2780%25255B8%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_2780" border="0" alt="DSC_2780" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-P2KKDfNgfPY/T5dY_qVu3nI/AAAAAAAAJvQ/5fkZe0jxkuY/DSC_2780_thumb%25255B5%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="165" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OlW8EE1VNKo/T5dZAJ1C0WI/AAAAAAAAJvY/RnU4Kww7hR0/s1600-h/DSC_2781%25255B9%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_2781" border="0" alt="DSC_2781" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vUyudtAIBjE/T5dZAoVG5TI/AAAAAAAAJvg/M8iETVocaeA/DSC_2781_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="165" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-j1iecwioeTA/T5dZA3n_zWI/AAAAAAAAJvo/GKuwW_O1ByI/s1600-h/DSC_2779%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="DSC_2779" border="0" alt="DSC_2779" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-bi3ZUkQ5usk/T5dZBRACwiI/AAAAAAAAJvw/gVfFmgDAau8/DSC_2779_thumb%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="165" /></a></p> <p>The menu for brunch was thought out for over a month, and poor Andrew was tired of hearing about all my plans. He only needed the details for what he would be cooking. Cooking preparations began on Friday since I was off for the day with Xander. I baked all the cupcakes that day, which were chocolate with gob icing and lemon blueberry with a lemon butter cream icing. I hard boiled three dozen eggs for deviled eggs and for dying. My sister, Jaclyn, came over Friday night to help me make some treat bags for the guests that had orange M&Ms and Reese’s Pieces in them to look like carrots. I failed to take a picture of them, but they did look great. </p> <p>Saturday, Xander spent the day at my parents house and played with his cousin Avery while Andrew and I prepared for the next day. </p> <p>Then on Sunday, the Easter bunny stopped by for a visit to bring Xander a lovely basket. It had movies, coloring books, crayons, a few books, playdoh and some candy in there for him. We had an egg hunt for Xander and Avery, which they both loved. I had bought some prizes for them both from the dollar sections at Target and the party store. My menu was pretty perfect for the first time hosting brunch, next year I will cut back a little on some things. Everyone who came loved the food, and our house. We can’t wait to have more parties so our families can come over. It was one of our best Easters as a family. </p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vismYCJDtSY/T5dZBwDVvHI/AAAAAAAAJv4/YdOq2s37Be8/s1600-h/DSC_2783%25255B11%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

The whole family went, my mom and dad, sister, brother-in-law and niece. It was a nice day. The weather was great and the kids loved seeing the animals. Alexander really enjoyed watching the giraffes.</span><br />

I personally have become addicted to the site. One of my many finds were directions on how to make a burlap wreath. Amanda from <a href="http://www.myheartsdesireblog.com/2012/01/how-to-make-burlap-wreath.html">My Heart's Desire</a> has wonderful and easy directions on how to make the base of the burlap wreath. I followed the directions for the most part.<br />
<br />
Here is how I made my wreath.<br />
<br />
Items required:<br />
18 inch wire wreath- Bought at Michael's<br />
2- 10 yard rolls of burlap garland- Bought at Michael's<br />
Floral Wire<br />
Scissors<br />
Felt Flowers (optional and not pictured)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnXznjc0MvxUBjXG48s-i6tJR1-6EXQLbH0I7kXkfhQ-92RwWLb-D98WS2ymvn2JjReFBrewLy4fntiayVwjBF3s8z8oM3B5GV90A7d5uAVQSUuLyaBKWdcHO-E9-6BcoVUEo3lnL_clx/s1600/Blog+Wreath+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTnXznjc0MvxUBjXG48s-i6tJR1-6EXQLbH0I7kXkfhQ-92RwWLb-D98WS2ymvn2JjReFBrewLy4fntiayVwjBF3s8z8oM3B5GV90A7d5uAVQSUuLyaBKWdcHO-E9-6BcoVUEo3lnL_clx/s320/Blog+Wreath+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Start at the top inner loop of the wreath and tie the burlap down with the floral wire. I then made 7-8 inch loops, tied them down with the floral wire and continued around the inner loop.<br />

After I was finished with the inner loop I cut the burlap and tied the last loop down. I then started on the outer loop of the wreath.<br />

At this point I realized I needed the second 10 yard roll of burlap. I took a quick trip back to Michael's to buy the second roll. I finished the outer layer of the wreath and was not happy with how it was looking. I took my extra burlap and started to fill in the wreath between the two layers of burlap. I just filled it in with loops until I was happy with the appearance.<br />

</div>After I had finished the wreath I attached the two felt flowers with clips and floral wire. The flowers are detachable and I can change out the decorative piece(s) to suit the time of season or festivity. I'm extremely happy with the final product!Lolabrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06351295270216115672noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892921175237778338.post-18870857788168868862012-02-28T20:05:00.000-05:002012-02-28T20:05:26.435-05:00Powder Room MakeoverOne weekend I decided I wanted to paint our powder room.

Three of the walls are painted in <a href="http://www.behr.com/">Behr's</a> Peanut Butter color and the forth wall is in Ground Nutmeg. We redid the ceiling in antique copper painted tiles which we bought at <a href="http://www.decorativeceilingtiles.net/">Decorative Ceiling Tiles</a> . We were really happy with the product and received them in the mail within a few business days. We had to buy our wall plates online from <a href="http://www.wallplatewarehouse.com/">Wallplate Warehouse</a> because we were not able to find copper wall plates in any stores. The mirror I found at <a href="http://www.homegoods.com/">HomeGoods</a> for a steal!<br />
<br />
The finishing touches will be finding a towel ring and toilet paper holder in copper tones. We also plan on switching out the light fixture and sink eventually.Lolabrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06351295270216115672noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2892921175237778338.post-26711303670518470552012-02-25T21:59:00.000-05:002012-02-25T21:59:52.486-05:00Home Sweet HomeOn November 30, 2011 Andrew and I started a new adventure as homeowners. We bought a cute little house in Levittown, Pennsylvania. It's a great little house for our family. I'm sure there will be more post with before and after pictures as we start to work on projects in the house.<br />

Here is our new home:<br />

November we went to a sauerkraut making party, had Thanksgiving, Xander's second birthday and Andrew's grandmother's 80th birthday, and to finish up the month we closed on our house!!<br />
<br />
Here are a few pictures of making sauerkraut:<br />

On the days were didn't go anywhere we relaxed, went to the park and the pool. Alexander had a great time at Sesame Place, he loved going on the rides and playing in the water with Avery. Alexander even met Bert and Ernie! We saw a show while there, where Xander and Avery were able to watch up close by the stage!<br />

It has been amazing watching him grow into a little boy from a baby. He loves to walk and run all over the place. He has enjoyed playing outside when the weather has permitted for late winter. I think my family is ready for spring to sprung! I know Andrew and I are looking forward to taking walks as a family again and finally getting to use that wagon we bought for Xander's first birthday. This spring has some fun trips in store for us already, a trip to the zoo, <a href="http://www.sesameplace.com/sesame2/">Sesame Place</a>, and we want to take Xander to <a href="http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/">Strasburg Railroad</a> to ride the train! </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I took Xander to his 15 month check up last Monday. The doctor was very happy with him and how he is progressing. Xander now weights in at 26 pounds, 14 ounces and is 32.5 inches long. He's a tall skinny boy now! The doctor confirmed that all of his baby teeth are in except for his two year molars. I scheduled a visit to a pediatric dentist for the end of this month just to make sure everything is going well for the little guy's teeth. </span></span><br />

</tbody></table><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Saturday November 27 we had the big first birthday party. The party was held at my parents house and Xander was surrounded by his family. We had a wonderful dinner that Andrew cooked, opened presents and then had cake. Xander did pretty well opening his presents, but he had his cousin Avery there to help unwrap gifts when he lost focus on it. Xander's cousin Aiden was there to make sure all the new toys were played with, too!</span><br />

</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">December came and went in a flash. December 23, Ed was moved to a rehab hospital, which was one step closer to coming home. December 24, we were able to visit Ed and enjoyed some great conversations with him. Andrew and I were bummed that Alexander could not go see Ed for Christmas. After visiting for a few hours we then made our way from Philadelphia up to Levittown for our traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Dinner was great as usual, and we were able to spend time with our family. </span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Christmas day was different this year. Our normal tradition is Christmas morning at home, then off to Andrew's parents house for brunch and then off to my parents house for dinner. This year we had Jane and Matt over for Christmas morning. We had breakfast and enjoyed watching Alexander open his gifts and play with his new toys from Santa. After Christmas at home, we went to my parents house for round number two. Xander had pretty much lost all interest in opening gifts by that point, and just wanted to play with Avery and her new toys. After this we all relaxed for a little while before heading over to my grandparents house to exchange gifts and have dinner.</span><br />

Things have been pretty crazy with our family these last two months, but it looks like everything is moving in the right direction. On October 28th, Alexander took his first steps. Andrew was not there to see it, but Alexander proudly showed off to Daddy when he got home. In only a short few weeks Alexander is now trying to run with the older boys at daycare, and has a lot of bruises to show for it. I love seeing how proud he is of himself when he walks on his own. Alexander is becoming a lot better with feeding himself, and a champ with sippy cups! We have made the transition over to whole milk with no issues and Alexander seems to love his milk, which makes Mommy happy. Andrew and I gearing up to celebrate Alexander's first birthday with our families. There will be plenty of pictures to come over the next week. </span><br />

The birthday girl seemed to have a great party, but quickly loss focus on opening her presents. She loved the gift her Uncle Chad gave her, and decided that I needed to open it up for her to play with. Alexander was happy it was opened up too, because he quickly started to play with the toys as well. We sang Happy Birthday to her, and then we had to cut into the cute Elmo cake that my sister's friend made for Avery. The cake looked and tasted great! I now know how to make a Elmo birthday cake if we ever need another one! Here are the pictures from today:</div><div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

Alexander is close to walking on his own, he continues to crawl faster everyday and can now stand without holding on to anything. He looks more like a little boy than a baby each day. I can't believe we will be celebrating your birthday in two short months! You loved eating Mommy's birthday cake, and made a mess doing so. I can't wait to see what you will look like at your birthday! You are learning to do more each day and it is great to see the changes happen.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><ul style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">You are starting to love having Mommy and Daddy read your books to you. You like to skip the pages so you can look at the pictures.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You are becoming a pro with a sippy cup.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">You love to push your walking toy around the whole apartment and are so proud of yourself. </span></li>
</ul><ul style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">You have become tired of the pureed baby foods and only want to eat foods you can feed yourself, but you are still letting Mommy spoon feed every once in a while. </span></li>

</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I can't hardly believe that it's been 9 months already! Xander started off as a small, sleepy, slimy little newborn and grew. And grew. And is still growing. 9 months later he's grown about 9 inches and 16 pounds. That would put him at 24 pounds, 10 ounces and 30 inches tall! He's gone from quiet and docile to bright-eyed and rambunctious.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It's amazing to watch how fast he is developing too. Only a few months ago we were watching him on a daily basis to see when he would roll over from his back to his stomach. Now it seems like he's learning a new trick, or perfecting an old trick every day. Tonight he climbed on top of a bottle of laundry detergent so he could get on top of a large box of diapers. Yesterday he pulled our large, heavy stock pot off a shelf with only one hand. The day before that he played happily on the floor of the shower, ignoring the water raining onto his head and dripping across his face. A week ago the water in the face would have freaked him out, but now he's dealing with it like a champ.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Any day now we're waiting for him to say his first word or take his first step. Don't be surprised if the 10-month blog post contains joyous news about both those two things! I know I wouldn't be surprised in the least if they both happened tomorrow.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The last big hurdle that we need to cross as a family is the nighttime routine. Nine months later, and adorable little Xander is still not sleeping through the night. Nine months. Thats about 270 days without getting a solid eight hours. It's trying, and as a family it's something that's been a burden. However, there is light visible now at the end of the tunnel. Where putting him down to sleep has been a huge fight in months past, in recent weeks he's been much more subdued and willing. He's been getting better at soothing himself, and putting himself back to sleep when he startles awake. He's been eating much less during his midnight feedings than he used to. I sincerely think that we're coming to a point when we're all going to be getting a complete night's sleep on a regular basis. Cross my fingers and my toes.</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fatherhood has been a pretty fantastic experience so far, and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. Nine months with the little guy has given me some great memories that I will cherish forever:</span></div><ul style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">Riding with Xander down the lazy river in Sesame Place</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Taking him to the beach to experience sand and waves for the first time</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Watching him sit on the floor, laughing hard and loud about things I may never understand</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Sleeping on the couch with him—a hot sweaty lump—asleep on my chest.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Sneaking him little bits of food. Everything from bits of chicken and cornbread, to cookies, brownies, and a little bit of root beer. It's amazing to thing that he's tasting every new thing for the first time in his entire life.</span></li>
</ul><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This past nine months has been absolutely amazing, even though it hasn't always been easy. I'm definitely looking forward to the next nine, which promise to be even better. </span></div><div style="color: black; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br />

We headed to Delaware for a day and then onto Corolla North Carolina, in the Outer Banks. It was a great first vacation for us, and we can't wait for another one next year!<br /><br />On Friday July 2nd we headed down to Mommom Whitworth's farm for the day, and stood the night. The trip down was full of traffic and made it an unhappy time for Alexander. He was all smiles once he was out of the car and in Mommom's house. We were able to see a lot of our family while there. We were also there when Tracey announced that she was pregnant! Alexander had a great time at Mommom's and would just smile and giggle at her when ever she looked at him.<br /><br />We woke up our normal time on Saturday so we could pack the car back up and head south to the Outer Banks. This trip should have taken us 3 and a half hours to 4 hours, but it ended up taking us 8 hours of driving and a 1 hour lunch break. Alexander hated this car ride, and to be fair so did I! Traffic onto the island was miserable since it was a holiday weekend and start of a new vacation week. We finally made it to our house at 7 at night. After feeding Alexander, a quick trip to the grocery store and dinner with the family we headed to bed early.<br /><br />Sunday July 4th we took Alexander down to the beach. He put his toes in the sand and let the water hit his legs. He studied the ocean for a long time, and then decided that it was better to go nap on Nana. Alexander then went into a big pool for the first time as well, he didn't like it too much. Alexander didn't make it up for the fireworks on his first 4th of July, but at least the fireworks didn't wake him up either!<br /><br />The rest of the week was relaxation, swimming in the pool, heading to the beach, and night walks on the beach. Alexander loved the pool the second day, and couldn't get enough of it for the rest of the week. By our last day on the beach Alexander loved the water and the sand. He probably ate too much sand for Mommy's liking, but he had fun rolling in it.<br /><br />Jaclyn, Sean, Avery, Andrew and I were lucky enough to go on a guided tour to see the wild Spanish Mustangs of Corolla. We saw about 8 or 10 wild mustangs and even some deer. The off roading on the beach was an interesting experience.<br />Avery loved it and got excited when she saw the mustangs for the first time! It was too bad that Alexander was too small for this trip, but we will have to just go back down to Corolla another year so we can take him to see the horses.<br /><br />Here are pictures from our trip:<br /><br /></span></span><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOL4V55brs59y-fhyJElk72p_2in69GfjHT5D8JAsbRKh05LoK_GOg4gfFhgboW8bsnEjNhr1Jkw7CTGFT3c8JoQFkH8rWEaRJdnYO0Zp5wM7EcB7aQ2HBfzmuHye__vefCiHn0uRArNrA/s1600/July+2010+008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

We had a month full of first for the little one. Alexander went in a pool and to the beach on July 4th for the first time. He studied the ocean and sand and was indifferent the first time around. He then decided that sleeping on Nana would be a better time that day. The first time in the pool Alexander did not seem to be too happy about it, but he loved the pool the next day! Alexander also got his top two teeth in this pass month. He is now up to four teeth. He also perfected his crawling, his belly is off the ground and he's quick now.

Alexander started to crawl on June 10th! It's more of a army crawl, but he is getting his belly of the grown some of the time. In three short weeks he has gotten quick getting from one place to another. He also just learned how to sit himself up on June 21st, and now does that all the time. He will be laying down one second and I'll look away and then he's sitting up. Then on June 23rd he said Ma and Mama for the first time! He's getting so big, and I love seeing him learn new things each day. He is starting to use his pointer finger and thumb more and can pick up small items with them now. Alexander likes to feed himself his puff cereal while he's in his high chair. Here's so new pictures of my little guy!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMh_GPAs4FNxqnqW0rS69KvufbStzZwCCX25YttprCrBYDpLQKC6zL495Qm25QTtydMsyOnJlGNuFr2CUlsJVN2DhphGPe2n8u7fPX2dtUNrTFW1p7si5kR0JjUkBkj2yf6GLyBrD589Zu/s1600/June+2010+026.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMh_GPAs4FNxqnqW0rS69KvufbStzZwCCX25YttprCrBYDpLQKC6zL495Qm25QTtydMsyOnJlGNuFr2CUlsJVN2DhphGPe2n8u7fPX2dtUNrTFW1p7si5kR0JjUkBkj2yf6GLyBrD589Zu/s320/June+2010+026.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486503314812110050" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Crawling towards Mommy! </span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkispWZSadj1BMCaZ9fCWyhyphenhyphenTf-KCAWHFnsBqK6yQ6tU-7ThNWerQZdAMzdbBGq551WURj7MMm-VyK9CDm0cTLOqlJ3J7gt_c3WEKoSGhLfZYD2Vyc1TQZG5hQcOr1NPP3kM0AnFm1nbtx/s1600/June+2010+001.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkispWZSadj1BMCaZ9fCWyhyphenhyphenTf-KCAWHFnsBqK6yQ6tU-7ThNWerQZdAMzdbBGq551WURj7MMm-VyK9CDm0cTLOqlJ3J7gt_c3WEKoSGhLfZYD2Vyc1TQZG5hQcOr1NPP3kM0AnFm1nbtx/s320/June+2010+001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486503162012822674" border="0" /></a><br />Sitting on Daddy!<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8eA1JUeXJwTeOyOUY-dpns9HW474K4sqrnUsTCrkQ2RG5QOogAEz1qyT_A-rMMFCukb6TtrlxgInZ_K2kHvUSfaDD8jRB2eUkiSgs8HGoFDlV8MELgozfvFEC_J_83uzpHQFmkntNM8g/s1600/May+2010+075.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-8eA1JUeXJwTeOyOUY-dpns9HW474K4sqrnUsTCrkQ2RG5QOogAEz1qyT_A-rMMFCukb6TtrlxgInZ_K2kHvUSfaDD8jRB2eUkiSgs8HGoFDlV8MELgozfvFEC_J_83uzpHQFmkntNM8g/s320/May+2010+075.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486502986651064466" border="0" /></a><br />Trying to eat my ball.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rjwF5Jb5IoMbI1yyiEZAoqfcfocSzLNolTTlEMawBDWhROwDVD3n-CZ-cUA9hxGvWyf3XrcE8G2V0x4UA8xFI1gnOFQHl5_tp1ouDef_WjcudGFA5xU1MhT0J1rTZd4BaSgdM565vxuv/s1600/May+2010+071.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-rjwF5Jb5IoMbI1yyiEZAoqfcfocSzLNolTTlEMawBDWhROwDVD3n-CZ-cUA9hxGvWyf3XrcE8G2V0x4UA8xFI1gnOFQHl5_tp1ouDef_WjcudGFA5xU1MhT0J1rTZd4BaSgdM565vxuv/s320/May+2010+071.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486502682176009922" border="0" /></a>Hey Mommy!<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicQtQB86EscNzkQ_MHILAz_o1KBLmHeEPV55IwsDSOSuf2KbEMHa9a0NOUwI4Dnp9GRacc5bkZDsYk2CfjDe0G2ldO5patOy6SCEuW-29QSgI5NDehFAqWeyeCNosnHDoewV970ENFUbKn/s1600/May+2010+062.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicQtQB86EscNzkQ_MHILAz_o1KBLmHeEPV55IwsDSOSuf2KbEMHa9a0NOUwI4Dnp9GRacc5bkZDsYk2CfjDe0G2ldO5patOy6SCEuW-29QSgI5NDehFAqWeyeCNosnHDoewV970ENFUbKn/s320/May+2010+062.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486502448572361842" border="0" /></a><br />I love cuddling with my Daddy :)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjqtVSyvfaGvNFPHCAZ94E_u6_RFKtdZtJ9ZvwQeA0l0ZcHPP8lAVqT2sGj-lCuIgwxLB4s_jD9ncWphbLctCsVzzQ_LVj_FB9rF62JpW0fjDRrPir8-a1llzcJBkjBcMGGg2QDQv1PVw/s1600/May+2010+066.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNjqtVSyvfaGvNFPHCAZ94E_u6_RFKtdZtJ9ZvwQeA0l0ZcHPP8lAVqT2sGj-lCuIgwxLB4s_jD9ncWphbLctCsVzzQ_LVj_FB9rF62JpW0fjDRrPir8-a1llzcJBkjBcMGGg2QDQv1PVw/s320/May+2010+066.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486502310405383714" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">I love smiling for the camera! </span><br /></div>Lolabrighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06351295270216115672noreply@blogger.com0
