"Disappear after 1"

Our president sent out a company wide email yesterday saying "Please feel free to dress casually tomorrow and "disappear" after 1:00 pm if you'd like. Happy Thanksgiving to All~" What a nice email huh! I think our office is going to be pretty dead in an hour and a half. We are going to go to Adams parents for Thanksgiving in the morning, and than to my parents house for Thanksgiving in the evening. We are going to be stuffed! Besides Thanksgiving day, we really don't have many plans for the weekend. It will be so nice to have a long weekend full of relaxing, and NO PLANS :) I leave for Boston on Monday, and then fly to Philadelphia on Tuesday, back home on Wednesday. We have our MBA events that i coordinated at Harvard and Wharton. The trips are a lot of work but a lot of fun. It gives me some awesome face time with a few our top executives. I enjoy planning the events, and say a prayer that nothing catastrophic happens! Adam is going to the Wild game tonight, so i am currently looking for plans :) Maybe my brother Joey wants to hang out with me :) If you are watching the game tonight keep your eyes out for Adam. It maybe a week before i blog again, unless i have time while i am on my trip. If so, i will try to post some pictures while i am away...HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!

Stephanie - This should brighten your day!!

I found out this afternoon that we don't have to wait until February to see Celine :) She re-RE-scheduled to December 18th!! Good news huh? EXCITING!

Steph and Brandt

I am so sorry to you both! I LOVE YOU, and please let me know if you need anything.

"These are my footprints, so perfect and so small. These tiny footprints never touched the ground at all. Not one tiny footprint, for now I have wings. These tiny footprints were meant for other things. You will hear my tiny footprints, in the patter of the rain. Gentle drops like angel's tears, of joy and not from pain. You will see my tiny footprints, in each butterflies' lazy dance. I'll let you know I'm with you, if you just give me the chance. You will see my tiny footprints, in the rustle of the leaves. I will whisper names into the wind, and call each one that grieves. Most of all, these tiny footprints, are found on Mommy and Daddy's hearts. 'Cause even though I'm gone now, We'll never truly part."

I LOVE YOU!

Caeda's Aching Heart

UPDATE: My co-worker and friend Lisa instant messaged me and told me that HER Cada (which we named our Caeda after) has a heart murmur too. She said that they are pretty common in dogs, and her Cada is feisty as well. Although the pictures posted below may seem different :) That made me feel a lot better! Here is the Reberg's Cada...who is SO cute! The first picture looks like Cada misses Caeda and wants to play. Thanks Lisa!!




"So" i realized today when looking back at one of my blogs and then scrolling up, that i start just about every blog with the word "so"....i suck :)

On a different note, yesterday i took both Chloe and Caeda in to the vet for their yearly check ups. Everything was going fine, we were in the exam room, and the vet checked Chloe first. Chloe HATES the vet. She hid in her kennel the whole time she wasn't being examined, and peeked out shaking. The vet went to check her ears, and as soon as the little ear checker pointy thing went in her ear, Chloe screamed bloody murder. The vet laughed, and tried again. (She laughed because Chloe's scream sounds like a high pitched bird squawking). She thought that Chloe might have had an ear infection, but besides that everything was fine. Chloe FINALLY broke the 3 pound mark, and weighed in at 3 pounds exactly. They took her back to check her ears to be SURE that there was no infection, which there wasn't, and then the vet started to check out Caeda. Cadea, loves the vet, she sniffs around at everything. When the vet went to check Caedas ears, she just bent down and sniffed all of the cool doctors instruments laying on the table. Ears were fine, teeth were fine, weight was fine (3 1/2 lbs), then the doctor went to check her heart. She listened, and looked at her watch...listened, and looked at her watch...listened, and looked at her watch. I started to get nervous, being that the vet only listened to Chloe's heart for a few seconds. She looked up at me, and asked if anything had ever been brought up about Caeda's heart in the past, and i told her no. She told me that she heard a possible heart murmur. :( She said they rate them on a scale of 1 - 10, and Caeda was at a 1, but she said we need to bring her back in in 2 months to have them listen again. All this time, we thought Chloe was going to be the one to have medical issues. She has always had bad knees, and is so small, we just figured we would always have to worry about medical issues with Chloe, not Caeda. It just about broke my heart...Caeda is the strong, feisty one, who is brave, and curious, and unstoppable. So, say a prayer for Caeda, that this was just a fluke, and we will never hear a murmur again! Needless to say, Caeda got a lot of cuddles from mom and dad last night, and Caeda slept in my arms all night!

A little slow...

So i am a little slow, like i said when i originally started this blog, with technology. BUT! As you can see, i finally figured out how to change my background template...it is SO exciting! I think my new favorite thing to do is going to be changing the background A LOT!

YEAH for Steph and Brandt!!

So it is posted on their blog, so i feel i can post it on mine now too....Steph and Brandt are going to have another little baby!!! SO EXCITING!!! Congrats guys! I mean, it only makes sense since you make such beautiful babies!!!

UPDATE

So i have a few things to update all on...first Halloween was SO much fun! We had a lot of fun dressed up, and let me tell you, EVERYONE was dressed up. We had Sweeney Todd, Buddy the Elf, The Joker (he literally went around all night in character as the Joker {Heath Ledger}). It was a great night, but i still think that we had the best costumes. On a different note...today i came home and let the dogs out, and what do i see Caeda playing with?Yes...My BRA.....I tell you, those dogs will get into anything you leave laying around.

OK...so my final pictures for the evening. Mark (Adams brother) and his girlfriend are having a baby in December and their baby shower is this weekend. Andrea (Adam's mom) asked me to be in charge of the center piece. We talked this weekend when Adam and i were over at the Heerens about the center piece and i said that i would pick up balloons. After contemplating what i was going to buy them for the shower i realized i could incorporate the centerpiece and the gift in one...sooooooooo. ( I think i should go into business, because this is pretty good). Also, note i did this in steps:

In case you didn't already see, ADAM is playing Wii in the background of all of these pictures :)

FINALLY

All i have to say is FINALLY NO MORE POLITICAL ADS! Not on the Radio, TV, billboards....it is all done! I tell you, this year there was some nasty ads going around, and i DID NOT APPROVE. I have been waiting for this election to be over, primarily so that the ads would stop.

PEACE...FINALLY!
