Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am thankful for my daughter Cailyn for making me realize how wonderful life is through a child's eyes, the love she gives us, and the happiness she brings to our lives. I am thankful for my family who although they are not close, they are always close in my heart. Lastly I am thankful for my friends for making life fun at every turn.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Warm Thoughts

Today I had the a wonderful conversation with Cailyn:

Cailyn: Mommy I hope it is icy outside today.
Me: Why would you want it to be icy out?
Cailyn: Because I like when you hold my hand and keep me safe
Me: Mommy will always hold your hand and keep you safe, even when you are older I will always be there to hold your hand
Cailyn: that makes me happy


Cailyn will be 4 next month. Each day she is more passionate and affectionate with us and I love it. This is a wonderful age full of questions, emotions, and development. Cailyn I am truly blessed, and proud to be your Mommy. I love you sweetie! Here's to never letting go of you :)

Fun Hats

This was taken at the Portland Children's Museum. Cailyn loves to play dress up and this was the perfect place to try on all types of different hats.

Halloween Pictures

Here are some pictures of our Halloween weekend. We had a little Tinkerbell on the loose and she had a ball. We went to a Halloween party at the mall, we had a party at day care with all the kids, and then finally we had some trick or treating on Wednesday night. Cailyn had a great time and got to see all her grand parents too. I hope you enjoy our little Tinkerbell!

Fall is Here!

I love fall. I love the leaves changing colors, the crisp feeling in the air, pumpkin pie and cider... it is just a wonderful time of year. Before you know it, it will be snowing so we are all enjoying the extra warm sunny days. Did you know that Christmas is only two months away....

Turning OFF my listening ears!

So my day today was as folows:
I sat in a classroom at work from 8-4
Picked Cailyn up from daycare, dropped her off at my Mom's house
Sat in another class for school from 6-9.

Lectures galore (11 hours actually) from time card instructions to TQM... what a day. I have enough junk in my head, I can't even begin to organize it all.

So I am off to bed as I am exhausted.

(New job is going great though, more on that soon)

Have a great "hump day" tomorrow!
