The other day while driving Ella reminded me of this when she told me, "mommy, my tooth is wiggly." I was reminded that she is at the stage where she's going to start losing her baby teeth! I have a baby who will be getting his first tooth within the next few months, a toddler who's final two teeth have almost popped through and now a six year old who's ready to lose her first tooth. So we are in all the baby teeth stages.
Then I took Ella in for her yearly eye appointment to see if her eye sight had improved since the previous year. We found out she is near sighted and will have to wear glasses. So I feel like this last month she has grown up so much! Starting school, loose teeth, and glasses! :(

God chose a wobbly tooth as a reminder to me that my kids are all growing up so fast and that I need to try my best to enjoy every stage they are in. Then to top it all off she had to go and turn six on me! It's a little too much for this mama!<br />
We celebrated Ella's birthday with a pool party at the YMCA. The kids had a blast swimming and the parents got to relax and drink coffee so it was the perfect party! ;)

Now the fun begins of driving two kids to two different schools three days a week ;) This will also be our last year at this wonderful preschool (for a couple years) until it's Rilynn's turn to go. They really do go to the best preschool and I have been so thankful we have been able to send Ella and Micah. Micah has the teacher Ella had last year and she's the best! On top of starting preschool he also had his first soccer game this past weekend. He did so good for his first time playing. He was able to stay with the ball and keep up with the other kids. He had so much fun and it was really cute watching him play. <br />

I kiss his soft little head about a million times a day taking in his sweet little newborn smell before it's gone for good. I really love the newborn stage, it's one of my absolute favorites and of course the stage that goes the fastest. Soon I will see another newborn and wonder "Was he ever that small!?!?" and I will find a newborn diaper stuffed away someday and wonder "did these really fit you!?!" :( Here are a few pics from Henry's first two months. I didn't take out the big camera and snap two month pictures yet so the cell phone pics will have to suffice for now.

Since she's been going to preschool since she was three it hasn't been that much of a change for her. The biggest difference is she's going all day! So strange to not be there with her when she's eating lunch. I find myself checking the clock all day wondering how much longer until school is out. I definitively miss having her here :( Ella absolutely LOVES it though! On the first day when a few kids were having breakdowns she said "why are they crying? Have they never been away from their mommies before!?!" haha...and when I picked her up and asked her if she missed me she replied very honestly "no, because I was having so much fun!" She is little miss independent, that's for sure! Can't believe we will be doing this all over again next year when Micah starts school.

I'm linking up with Jeannett at <a href="http://liferearranged.com/">Life Rearranged</a> with my weekly cell phone pics. I'm working on a few posts right now so I promise my blog will consist of more then just InstaFriday posts! I need to take some pics of Henry and do a one month post but first I need my husband to install photoshop on my computer (did you hear that honey?!?)
We had a very fun and exciting week! Grandpa and Nana flew out from California and spent a little time with us and met Henry. This last week sort of felt like a mini vacation so I'm still trying to get back in the swing of things. I just realized Ella starts school in less then a month! Can summer already be over!?!? :(<br />

We went to the zoo this weekend and the kids had fun riding rides.

<center> We went to the bicentennial park in downtown Columbus and the kids had a blast playing in all the fountains</center>

<center>Henry also did a lot more of this all week. He has also decided our bed is a much more comfy napping spot then his bassinet.</center>

<center> I realized I'm not the only nerdy mom who gets excited about buying a backpack because we discovered that the backpack we wanted for Kindergarden was sold out online and our local store had one left, the display..so we of course had to buy it now.</center>

<center> and last but not least, I have officially made it back to the gym! I was able to elliptical while watching the Today show this morning (and I didn't die like I thought I would)</center><center> </center><center> </center>

It's starting to feel like summer again as I'm slowly getting out of the house more. Maybe having four kids isn't so tough after all? ;)

<center>Spent a couple days at the pool where this little girl finally said goodbye to floatation devices and is now a swimmer (thanks to her older cousin) </center>

<center> We discovered that if we bring this pink princess chair to the pool Rilynn will just sit there the whole time completely content (she of course has to have her Vente Starbucks ice water with her too)</center>

We have had record breaking high temperatures the last few weeks which is partly to blame for being stuck inside. I have been feeling bad for the other kids though since they haven't been able to play outside too much or go to the pool like we usually do every summer, so we were excited when we got an invite to our friends house in Indiana this last weekend. They just moved to a new house and have a huge pond in their backyard as well as tons of other fun stuff for the kids to do. To the say the kids had fun is an understatement. We had to practically drag them out of the water. You also know Ella had a fun day when she falls asleep in the car driving home ;)<center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=f09d0e7e.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/f09d0e7e.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=5f660d86.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=640 heigth=480 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/5f660d86.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=e55a671a.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/e55a671a.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=c08c1a56.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/c08c1a56.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=51b97b27.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth-240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/51b97b27.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=f60fde73.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/f60fde73.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=ec4a5850.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=640 heigth=480 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/ec4a5850.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=d1f3a42f.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/d1f3a42f.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=492243d9.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/492243d9.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=6c932442.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=320 heigth=240 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/6c932442.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898437687990559690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89977434459132525.post-82028648036549888432012-07-12T08:54:00.001-04:002012-07-13T14:16:51.536-04:00InstaFridayI'm linking up with Jeanett over at <a href="http://liferearranged.com/">Life Rearranged</a> with my weekly cell phone pics except I'm going to sort of cheat and actually post pics from Henry's first weeks since I'm WAY behind! It's only been three short weeks but it seriously feels like months have passed! I keep wondering "why does my body still look like I just had a baby!?!" and then I realize, "oh yeah, because I just did have a baby" I guess it's a result of how much our little Hen has already changed. He is already out of newborn diapers (so glad I purchased over 200 newborn diapers! Huge mommy fail) His little face is getting chubbier and he seems more alert every day. I feel like he's already growing up too fast even though he's still very much a newborn :) I know I just need to savor each precious day with him because this will probably be my last newborn but when you have three other kids to tend to that's very much easier said then done! Haha

Henry made his appearance on June 19<sup>th</sup>
(one day before my official due date). He weighed 7 pounds 14 ounces and was 19
½ inches long.<br />
I wanted to share his birth story for those of you that have asked to hear
it. Everything went so well and it was one of my easiest labors! We are so thankful to God for this precious little life that He has blessed us with. <br />
I started
having contractions on Sunday that were a little more painful than the usual Braxton
Hicks so I started wondering if our baby was on his way. The contractions were
still very far apart and only lasting around 30 seconds so I knew I was still
far from active labor. I slept horrible Sunday night which made me worried if
things started to kick into gear Monday I would be too exhausted! I continued
to have contractions Monday but they were still sporadic and only lasting
around 30 seconds. I took the kids to the library, to lunch and just tried to
just go about my daily activities as usual. I was so wiped out and feeling
horrible from my lack of sleep the night before as soon as the kids went down
for naps I laid down and took a nice long nap too. I felt so rested when I woke
up and so much better! <br />
After the kids woke up I asked Paul if we could walk around the mall for a
little bit to see if that would help get things going. My sister agreed to keep
the kids for us for a few hours so we headed off to the Polaris Mall. I
continued having contractions but they were still about the same. We ate dinner
at an Italian restaurant which was nice because little did we know it would be
our last night out without kids for awhile ;) After, we went back to my
sister's I sat in the rocking chair on her porch and rocked through some bigger
contractions for awhile which was really nice. We decided to have Ella and
Micah stay the night just in case I would be in active labor in the early
morning. Rilynn usually sleeps very well and very late so we took her with us
because she would likely sleep through the whole thing. We headed home and went
to bed and sure enough around 4:00am I was awaken by a painful contraction that
was definitely about a minute long. After a few more of these same type of
contractions hit me that were10-15 minutes apart I text my midwife to
let her know where we were at in my labor. Paul started to fill up the birth tub which I
quickly found relaxation in! <br />
My sister came over around 6ish and suggested we go for a walk which didn’t
sound fun to me at all but I wanted this labor to go fast and was determined to
do whatever it takes to speed things along. We went for a walk around neighborhood
around 6:15ish while she timed my contractions. We walked for about 45 minutes
and then came home and fell asleep for a little on the couch while Paul tried
to get the downstairs TV working which he never did ;) I went upstairs to take
a shower since the hot water had come back from filling the tub. I took a long
shower and it felt so good! The hot water really helped ease the contraction
pain. After the shower I laid down for a little but decided to get up and get
ready since I wanted the baby out!<br />
As I was getting ready we watched some of the Today Show and I had a few
bigger contractions that I walked up and down the hall during to help them be
more effective. They were definitely getting stronger since I was starting to
feel nauseous after each one. I finished getting ready and decided to get back
in tub because things were certainly progressing. I was in the tub for awhile
and in the meantime Kym took Rilynn to her house so it was just Paul and I for
a little bit. I got out of the tub to use the bathroom and had one of the
biggest contractions yet!! I realized after that getting out of the tub wasn't
going to work for me! <br />
By the time Kym came back my contractions were around 3 ½ min apart and I was
having more signs of progression! I started feeling more pressure too so I knew
he was moving down. I got back in the tub and Kym text Kelley, one of my midwives
to give her a status update. She decided it was time for them to come. By the
time they came I was at transition. I had a few more big contractions, one of
which made me throw up and after that I was feeling the need to push. I started
hitting my wall where I announce "I can't do it!" also known as the
rock and the hard place where you don't want to go on but you don't want to
stay in the position you are in either. I also knew this signaled the end and
needed to do my darnedest to push the baby out so I could be out of pain and
hold my sweet boy. <br />
It was actually quite in the room (which is unlike me) we had the iPod
playing and I heard my favorite song come on and took that as a signal to begin
the final stage. Two pushes later (my fastest push time yet) at 11:56am Henry
was born in the water! They brought him up to my chest and put a towel around
him. He was tiny and absolutely perfect! I was so relieved to be done and
holding my baby!! I don't think I could have dreamed of a better labor!
Everything was perfect! It was so relaxing and peaceful. I wish I would have
done water births with my other babies. I nursed Henry for a while after and
then Paul cut the cord. I was able to shower after, while my midwives checked
Henry over and when I got out I had fresh clean sheets on my bed and I was able
to lay in my bed snuggling and nursing Henry the rest of the day :) <br />
My amazing sister helped clean up and made food for Paul and I to eat. She
even came over in the evening and brought us a delicious dinner! I have the
greatest sister ever! I also have to give a shout out to my amazing husband who
is completely supportive of my "crazy" birth ideas. He has supported
and coached me through four natural births! He has been super dad these last
few weeks taking care of all the kids and I and has been keeping us afloat
during this crazy transition. I also have to thank my awesome brother in law
Kurt who watched all of our kids on top of his three kids while I was in labor!
Kurt is one of the hardest working people I know and when he's not working 24
hr shifts at the fire department he's either mowing lawns, landscaping or he's
farming his 65 acres of land. For him to take a day and watch 6 kids was
extremely gracious of him and an enormous help to us!<br />
We are still trying to get adjusted to being a family of six! I'm not leaving the house much these days and thing are pretty crazy at times but we are trying to soak in every second with Henry because we know how fast this stage goes. It's amazing how we can't imagine life without him even though he's only been a part of our family for a short time. We can't wait to watch him grow and thrive and make new memories with him.<br />

They are always so nice to include us in all their holidays and always make us feel like we are part of the family. They had an Easer egg hunt planned for the kids as well as fun games planned for the adults. We all had so much fun! Ella and Micah even got to walk down to the pond behind their house and go fishing and I got to shoot a BB gun for the first time, haha :)<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=ae3ede73.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/ae3ede73.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=b1ec5178.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/b1ec5178.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=3480806a.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/3480806a.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=24fb2863.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/24fb2863.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a><br /></center><br /><br />Such a wonderful day with family reflecting on the resurrection of Jesus!

I was the last one to get hit and although it's not bad it's enough to be an annoyance. I'm hoping it doesn't linger for too long because I really want to get back to the gym and I would like to not have to go through a box of tissue an hour ;) I'm thankful that Rilynn is back to her happy self though because a day without her sweet little smiles is a little gloomy. I'm praying we will all be back to good health for Easter!<br /><br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=f6b79a8d.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="480" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/f6b79a8d.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="640" /></a><br />How precious is this baby girl!?!?!

By Monday, and after two nights of none of us sleeping and high fevers, I decided to take her to the Dr. where he determined she had a bronchial infection. He ordered some x-rays to rule out pneumonia and prescribed an antibiotic. The next day when I called to get the results of her X-rays I was informed she actually has RSV and that there really isn't anything we can do but treat her symptoms. We have been trying to help clear her up so she can breathe since she's been wheezing and breathing really fast. Trying to get her to drink fluids has been a challenge too since she doesn't want to drink anything. There is nothing worse then seeing your little babies sick and feeling totally helpless! We are praying she will be back to her perky self soon.<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=a1367dbe.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=400 heighth=400 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/a1367dbe.jpg" border="0" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App"></a></center>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898437687990559690noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89977434459132525.post-2688615293019119682012-03-23T10:59:00.003-04:002012-03-23T20:27:11.866-04:00More spring beautyCan I just start out by saying I absolutely LOVE my iPhone!

Today we got the sand box out, cleaned it, and filled it with some fresh sand. The sand box hasn't been used in two years so the kids loved having it out again. I think Rilynn enjoyed playing in it the most!

I didn't have to shovel snow ONCE!!! Nor did the kids ever have to wear snow gear! That is definitely worth celebrating! I did slip and fall on ice though which apparently is inevitable for me no matter how mild the winter :( The weather has been so crazy, It feels like summer and it's only March. Tonight we ate dinner while watching and listening to a crazy lightning/thunder storm. The kids have been running around in tanks, shorts, and flip flops and everything is green and blooming! It's almost a little surreal! We are gearing up for another beautiful week...hooray for summery springs :)<br /><br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=9b97934b.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="380" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/9b97934b.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="540" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=540b24a4.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="380" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/540b24a4.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="540" /></a><br />Look at this little doll baby!<br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=c3719da9.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="380" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/c3719da9.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="540" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=5934db26.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="380" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/5934db26.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="540" /></a></center>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898437687990559690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89977434459132525.post-14356274046725854192012-03-17T15:25:00.002-04:002012-03-17T15:27:11.039-04:00Happy St. Patrick's Day!Another gorgeous day here in Ohio!

It's been in the high 70's and 80's all week and we have been loving every second of it! We have had so much fun all week and I'm going to be sad when Monday comes and I'm back to driving one of them to school everyday. Thankfully we only have two more months and then our summer break starts! :)<br /><br />Here are some pictures I took from my phone during the week of some of our spring break adventures.<br /><br />Day 1: It was raining so I took Ella and Micah to see The Lorax<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=62910bf1.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/62910bf1.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a></center><br /><br />Day 2: We enjoyed the beautiful sunshine filled day playing outside and took our first trip of the season to Dairy Depot!<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=47422e2f.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="480" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/47422e2f.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="640" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=d42eb4e9.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="480" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/d42eb4e9.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="640" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=16ca2717.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/16ca2717.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=00293b48.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="400" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/00293b48.jpg" alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" width="400" /></a></center><br /><br />Day 3: This was the hottest day of the week!

I was inspired by a cute bakery we visited in NYC last summer as well as the pattern of my nursing cover I have (I know strange?) which was also coincidentally called "central park west" ;) I had so much fun planning her party! I found so many cute things too since it's close to valentines day and cupcakes are a popular valentine decoration. I was able to get all the kids goody bags stuff at the target dollar spot! The party was a success and I think Rilynn had a lot of fun ;)<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=p1.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="700" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/p1.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="700" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=p2.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="700" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/p2.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="700" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=p3.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="700" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/p3.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="700" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=p4.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="700" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/p4.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="700" /></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=p5.jpg" target="_blank"><img heigth="700" src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/p5.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" width="700" /></a></center>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898437687990559690noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89977434459132525.post-6683200439248240692012-01-20T16:45:00.001-05:002012-03-12T06:49:05.943-04:00Summer Flasback....Trip to NYC!Ever since I was a kid I have always dreamed of going to New York City. I'm not sure where my love for the big apple came from? Maybe it was the from the countless times I watched <span style="font-style:italic;">Muppets take Manhattan</span> or my love for <span style="font-style:italic;">I Love Lucy</span>? whatever the reason was it stayed with me through high school where I started planning out my college future which involved school in New York followed by a job at a fashion magazine ;) God obviously had other plans for me. Paul and I had planned on spending our honeymoon in New York City with some free airline vouchers we had received but once again our plans were foiled. So FINALLY years later the opportunity presented itself for us to go through Paul's work! I of course never envisioned my first trip to New York would consist of taking along three kids five and under but I figured I would take whatever chance I could get. So, we packed up our minivan and hit the road for a very long car trip to the big city! We had SO much fun! I'm very eager to return but this time without kids even though they did awesome! There is only so much you can do with small children though ;)<br /><center><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage1.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage2.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage3.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage3.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage4.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage4.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage5.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><a href="http://s596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/?action=view&current=newyorkcollage6.jpg" target="_blank"><img width=700 heigth=700 src="http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt44/ReneeAM3/newyorkcollage6.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a></center>Andreahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898437687990559690noreply@blogger.com0
