Catch Up

Yet again it seems I have been ignoring this blog.... I have an excuse this time... We still dont have internet and home phone. I get a slow connection off of my husbands cell card but thats about all.... So I will try and do a mass update as to what my life has consisted of over the last month....

We went and picked up a couple of cats. We found evidence of mice in our Garage (Thank goodness its only the garage) and needed some good mousers!! So meet Mom (Chleo) and daughter (Zoey).





Lets see I also made a Diaper Cake for a friends Baby Shower.... She was due on Christmas day and had her daughter a couple of days before December!! Our babies would have been less then a month apart!!!



I also decided that since we have a big house now that we would host Christmas!! Was it ever fun!!! We had a Tobagan Run with a jump, A Snowman Building Contest and a Chinese Gift Exchange. As well as Turkey Dinner. I also spent 5 days Baking.......

Here's a couple of pics of the main level of our house, before anyone arrived! Don't mind the messy Kitchen, as I was cooking a few things...
Oh yeah and the Christmas tree was a tree cut down on our own property, 11 feet tall!







Here is a few pics of the baking I did...... Cashew Cookies with Butterscotch Drizzle, Hazelnut Caramel Chocolate Cups, Spritz Cookies, Chocolate Mint Stix, and Shortbread with a Kiss!






I think that about catches everyone up on the month of December! Oh wait its January now..... better get started on another post... lol!

Happy New Year Everyone!

This last year brings about great confusion for me..... Am I happy to see it go, or sad? One of the best things happened to me in 2010, but then a short month later the MOST tragic thing ever happened..... I will always love and remember you peanut, but I think I am relieved to see 2010 go and am hopeful for a GREAT 2011!!

The dreaded day has come and gone!

Yesterday was my Expected Due Date and I was dreading this day for many months now. It started out Sad but half way through got pretty good. Friends of our invited us over to hang out and stay busy..... Little did I know that they bought us gifts.... So very nice (not necessary though..) I got a beautiful boutique of 18 roses, and a wonderful Journal. They also bought Mark some chocolates and we played a fun game of Ticket to Ride (which I miserably lost at!)

Its hard to think that 9 Months ago we found out that we were expecting our own bundle of Joy. The plans we had already made in those 4 short weeks following..... Already looking at Strollers, Car Seats, Bedding, Nursery Ideas, Names and even told a few key people. I was on cloud 9, this was really happening.... I was going to be a mother and in 9 long ( so i thought then) months I would be going to the hospital to give birth to a little human that out of Love Mark and I made together. I would be responsible for a life that would mean more to me then my very own.

Obviously that's not how it turned out, instead I am sitting at home blogging about the pain. I miss my baby so very much and wish that he/she was here with me today.
Maybe one day my dreams I had those few weeks will be brought into reality.... For now I just keep trying and waiting to find out when we start a new adventure...

God I pray that you have a healthy baby for Mark and I soon.

We love and miss you very much Peanut.
