snort snort - sniffle sniffle. yes that's right it's cold time! i got it first, passed it to the wee one and now big daddy has got it. we are soo fun, snotty and crank-tastic! baby's ALWAYS love love love the lil' blue snotter, but now it's even more fun. would it be wrong to put her cute lil' sniffling head into a vise **just for a sec** so I can de-booger her without yoga-like contortions? ah the wonders of being a mommy huh?

got to work half-day last Monday and this Monday agan. i've been updating my website while i've got some down time and putting together the books i've read and/or want to get viv. and of course as you can see in my photo album there are more peanut pictures. grammy has requested even more so i'm off to snap....er snap photos i mean.

If someone ever was to ask me why I married John - today would be a perfect example.

I knew when I saw a friends son wearing the cutest Halloween costume last year what I was going to be buying for my son/daughter this year. It is a "pea in the pod" outfit, they are zipped up in the "pod" and it has three peas on the front. John got it for Vivian a few months ago when I mentioned it.

We had a big family/friends Halloween party at work today and John brought Vivian over to the office for the event (pictures to follow). When they walk in they are all smiles and in costume. I get closer and see she has a mark on her face like a football player - a thick grease paint streak under her eye. I ask John what it was about and he replies "She's a Black Eyed Pea".

That boys and girls is why I married him!

Uploaded the pictures from the trip back East. We arrived on a Friday night in Philadelphia and the next day was the anniversary party for Aunt Jeannie and Uncle Denny. Then it was the family reunion - there are 4 galleries of pictures from the trip.
