Cute nephew; cute husband

That's all-no big news since YESTERDAY! =0)

Em's Birthday

I guess every parent just cannot believe that the baby is growing up, and MUCH too quickly. I am so sad to see the baby go, and yet so happy to be with my new friend, Emily. She is....she is impossible to put in to words. After a decade of waiting to have a baby in the first place, we were pretty happy to have Ryan. Understatement. Then, we lost a baby early on in pregnancy. Then came Emily. I could never have imagined her. You'd have to meet her to know what I mean. I saw that little crown-like band of tiny dancing angels around her head the night she was born-and I know now that it wasn't JUST from the pain meds in my IV. =0)

Bye Bye October

Boy, what a Halloween. Ours went on for about a month. Ryan spent countless hours creating a home made, mostly hand drawn Haunted Mansion. This involved almost every room in our house, plus the back yard (the graveyard). I am happy to say it was a success; we had many tours and a total of 31 "foolish mortals" as guests. Ryan was very pleased. Last night he managed to keep on the Jack Skelington costume on just long enough to show a few family memebers, then he was DONE. Emily however, ran around trick or treating with cousin Amber for a long time. Ryan was very diappointed that we had no trick or treaters at our house on Halloween. He is already planning next year's project in his mind: Haunted Mansion Holiday. I hope someday all these creative talents he has will be utilized fully and that he will make millions of dollars so I can get that yacht I've had my eye on

Trick or Treat, Smell my Feet

TIME TO MOVE

Guess who lives in our house now? This guy and his buddies. And he is not a small guy. HUGE. Huge.

I found this info on the Web: These large spiders are currently invading the San Francisco area. Native to the Mediterranean region, the colonizing spiders or egg sacs probably traveled to the Bay Area with a furniture shipment or in a vacationer’s suitcase.
