Cloth...crazy lady!!

When I was pregnant I wanted to cloth diaper. At the time, every single daycare I spoke with said "Nope, we only do disposable". Grr...At the time since daycare was the plan, I gave in and decided to go with disposable. Then 36 weeks pregnant...we find out we are moving....38 weeks pregnant...Aiden arrives...Anytime between August 25th and January 2010 became a blurr. I was knee deep in a newborn, adjusting to being a stay at home mom, and using disposables.

So the time has come where I am going to ditch the disposables and go to cloth! I went to a baby store in downtown Richmond today that sells cloth diapers. I bought 2 and I am going to begin testing this process. Of course I will need many more than 2, but I just want to get a taste of what this is like before I buy a ton of cloth diapers. Not only will it better for the environment, but it will save us money in the long run. I am super excited about this decision and I really hope it works out for us.

Demands

The kidnappers of the Turkey have started making demands for the safe return of the Turkey. They said that more will come.

Demand #1:

"Pops" and "uncle Joe" are to make a video dancing along with Snoopy. The longer the video the better. The kidnappers have also specified that they must "feel" the dance moves in the video.

That is all for now.

Sick day

Aiden got a cold and proceeded to make me sick. I hate it when he feels bad. But, I do get lots of good snuggle time in. Today we made a great sick day memory together. I wanted chocolate, so I washed the strawberries in the frig and melted some chocolate and we sat in the living room and ate. It was one of those moments that I said "I need to remember this forever!" So I took a photo.

Running and a 10 year reunion

After we went and visited our friends The Osbornes in mid-October Aiden has been walking. This weekend I had to run after him twice to catch him. He has gotten fast.

Jay had his 10 year college reunion and we had a blast. It was our first weekend away from Aiden and I think he did better than I did. I cried like you wouldn't believe when I gave him to his grandparents. It was memorable for Jay and I to go spend a weekend at a place that has meant so much to both of us. We got to laugh and make memories with some good friends.

7 Years

Today is our 7 year anniversary. When I think back about the past 7 years, I can't believe how many different paths I have been on with my husband. We have experienced more in our 7 years than most people experience in a lifetime. And I have been so thankful to have Jay by my side the entire time.

We have built a house, sold it, renovated a house, moved to 3 different cities, moved states, lost a baby, had a baby, coped with the diagnosis of a lifelong illness, but most of all we have laughed together every step of the way.

If I had to describe my marriage in one word it would be laughter. We laugh together every day. We find laughter in the oddest and most inappropriate places. But, at least we keep it fun.

I love you so much, Jay. Thank you for filling my life with an unexplainable amount of joy.
