Halloween comparison

Maggie and Max wore the same Halloween outfit (fleece banana) as babies in their 1st year. Can you tell who is who?

Here is one difference between the 1st and 2nd kid. The 1st you have about 20 different photos to chose from and the 2nd you barely have one good one to use. I always heard this was the case and it's true for the most part!

Overdue

Our household has been sick since the day after Halloween and as of tomorrow, my 33rd birthday, I'm still under the weather with my second round of mastitis. I was really hoping I'd be past my cold and back to health but then this crept up on me this week and it's crazy frustrating! Clearly a sign that I should slow down but I really don't do much more than work, be with the kids, errands, cooking... Maybe this just comes with the territory right now.

Anyways, the other day when I started this post, I was truly getting into the holiday spirit. Spending my morning with the kids listening to Christmas music on Pandora, getting excited about taking Maggie to the Nutcracker this year (her first ballet), thinking about my upcoming birthday, last weekend's beautiful wedding, and being thankful for not feeling sick anymore.

Ah, short-lived. I send a huge prayer out there for us to all be healthy soon so that we can enjoy my favorite holiday next week.

Pictures from over the past few months - it's taken me awhile to get any pictures on here, I'm a bit behind the times as usual by not having a sweet iPhone or something of the like where taking a picture and uploading them to Facebook or my blog would be a cinch. Speaking of, I have a new little iPod shuffle sitting her on my desk. It's been there for awhile and I'm clueless about how to get songs on there. That is what I want for my birthday - my husband to help me put songs on there :-)
