We found the illusive cord!

Phew - found the cord! It was placed in Nola's bassinet that has been sitting in our room waiting for our little bundle and getting piled high with clothes and other junk in the meantime!

My big strong dad came over on Thursday night and chopped down the awful tree on the side of our yard. I had gone out to take Pete to hip hop and found these VERY unsupervised pictures of my daughter on the tree stump!

Papa and Annie chatting on the tree stump!
Sharing a drink with Papa on the stump!
My girl hanging out on the tree stump.
Notice no one holding her up or standing near her!

I'm never leaving the men alone with her again!
Papa and Annie playing on the big stump!
Unsupervised again....................
I thought the kids looked adorable leaving for school yesterday morning - the red and khaki are already wearing on me though!
Pete was apparently VERY cold yesterday morning as he found himself a scarf - he ended up taking it off before he got on the bus - how cute is he?

Annie has a bit of cold so Bob stayed inside with her - she looked out the window at us pathetically while we waited for the bus. She already wants to be doing EVERYTHING the big kids do and does not like being left out - look at those puppy dog eyes!

Molly had her first Irish Step Dancing Class tonight and when we got there my cousin Colleen was walking around with her daughter, Nora. The baby is a doll and Colleen looks like she has been doing this motherhood thing forever.

My gorgeous goddaughter had her first Irish Step Dancing class ever last night and she had a blast. This is her posing for me!
Banana hanging out waiting for Molly to finish class!
As a treat we went out to dinner after class at Village Pizza - Molly and Annie were having a blast playing and hugging. Pete was not with us because Auntie Meg kidnapped him for dinner and some Wii time!
Annie loving on her sister!

I saw my friend Cathy Cody whose daughter, Shannon was diagnosed with Leukemia at the beginning of the summer. Shannon is doing well, although still undergoing treatments and on lots of medications. Shannon was able to do her 1st step dancing class and I got a chance to check in with Cathy. Cathy looks absolutely exhausted but is amazingly hopeful as Shannon's tests have come back great! Cathy has had to go back to work full time to cover the costs of Shannon's medical care and also has to be vigilant about Shannon's health and exposure to germs so she has a lot on her plate. I was telling her how much I admire her positive attitude and her response was "It's not like someone offered me a plan B." PLease keep Cathy and her family in your prayers!

Molly and Tyler's birthday party is today so there will be lots more pictures coming!

GNM - ILY!
