The Twinkies Have Arrived!!!

Congratulations to Barb and Paul on the birth of their twins!!!! Sarah Nicole and Jacob Theodore arrived on Saturday, November 25th.

Can't wait to see them!!

Black Friday

Another year, another start to the shopping season. Franklin and I didn't have a very productive day but still had fun. Franklin woke up not feeling well so we just headed into Adrian to start to see if he felt better. We arrived at Kohl's at 5am and got a lot of good deals. Because it was extremely foggy we decided to just stay in Adrian. We headed to Wal-Mart next, which is where the real fun was. First, the cops were there, stationed at the door, which we thought was hilarious. And then the people watching, oh the people watching. It's always entertaining to people watch at Wal-Mart. I'm not sure what was better, the guy who talked so much he annoyed the credit card application people and everyone around him, the 15 year old set of new parents who looked extremely confused in the Fisher Price aisle, or the girl who was wearing pajama pants that were WAY too tight! Didn't really find anything I was looking for but picked up a couple of dvds. As we were leaving they were checking receipts!! Between that and the cops I guess they were anticipating some thefts. But the kicker was one of the games on our way out. It was a crane game but instead of it being filled with stuffed animals it had a layer of wanna be bling. Seriously. Along the bottom of the machine was fake gold bracelets, rings, watches, etc. Like I said, Wal-Mart is entertaining. After that we headed to the mall but didn't pick up much. We left the house at 4:45am and were back in bed by 7:15am. Peanut hadn't even woke up yet!!

Back to reality

Franklin and I have returned from our 8 day cruise and what should welcome us on our first day home but snow. Gotta love traveling to warm weather during cold weather months. So, you may be wondering how our trip went, or you may not but I'm gonna tell you anyway. :) The trip was awesome!! Even though we missed Peanut immensely we had a great time. We met some great people who have become friends...shout out to table 34!!! We visited some beautiful islands, saw dolphins and whales, got tan and drank a lot of alcohol. :)

Unfortunately our travel day home was absolutely horrible and it made us forget about how much fun we had for awhile. We were the first group off the ship and didn't have any plans before our flight so got to the airport around 8:30am and our flight wasn't until 3:25pm. And then of course, our flight was delayed till 5:10pm. Making us miss our connecting flight in Atlanta and had to wait there until 9:45pm till the next one. We arrive into Detroit at midnight and do you think our luggage made it with us? Heck no! But of course you stand there waiting until every last bag has come down. So we start our long drive to Adrian and as anxious as we were to see Peanut Franklin put the pedal down. Until he got pulled over in Tecumseh. :) Thankfully the officer was very understanding of the horrible day we had endured and let Franklin off with a warning. But then we got to my parents house and got to see Peanut!! She had grown so much and she's rolling over all the time now.

And now Thanksgiving is almost here and we'll be headed back to MI in a couple of days. I hope all of you have a great holiday! And happy shopping to those of you going out on Friday!!

Peanut's 4 Months Old!

I can't believe 4 months have passed. It seems like I say that every month. Peanut had her check up on Friday and got 4 shots. :( She didn't like those and was pretty cranky through Saturday, but she's all better now. She now weighs 15 lbs, 13 oz and is 25" long!! I couldn't believe it. It seems like I'm always switching out her wardrobe. :) She started eating cereal today, boy was that fun! After she figured out why a spoon was coming at her face she got the hang of it. We got some funny pictures and video. We head off on vacation on Thursday, we'll miss Peanut A LOT, but we'll have fun and enjoy the relaxing time together. Lord knows it'll be the last time!! Our next vacation will probably be Disney in a couple of years!!

Quite a let down

I haven't posted about Detroit's loss in the World Series because of a few reasons. 1. I was really bummed, 2. I couldn't think of anything witty to say about it and 3., I fear my daughter had a part in their loss. Why you ask? Her favorite toy (before the world series and now) a cardinal. Yup, I said it, she was rooting for the other team! And I feel because she's so darn cute the Cardinals played better. Next year I'll make sure she has a tiger toy. :)
