Best Christmas Present Ever!

For years in school, whenever we had to write an essay or speak of a holiday favorite, mine was always the birth of my third sister.

I remember thinking it was such a miracle that a little beautiful baby girl would be brought to my home on Christmas. It can't be luck, it had to be meant to be. Someone I can love, practice french braids on, mold into my own.

She is a nut, understand that. Someone who wakes with "forces" telling her to remain in bed. Someone who goes from happy to catotonic is seconds.

She met the New Kids...Brad Pitt was her favorite guy, she met him on TV. Carson Daly was her other, met him as well. She makes her life seem effortless, tireless...but somehow manages to gain experiences under her belt.

She once went on a cruise and did not do a thing. Spent 80.00 the entire week while vacationing and claims to have had a great time and can't wait to go again.

She is the one who will go to Yosemite, but never climb the mountain or walk the trail. Go sledding, but never zoom down the hill. But she appears to be happy and satisfied.

Great sister, wonderful aunt, a best friend as a daughter. Lover to her godchild. Teacher to be.

Thanks Aunt Coco for being you. Thanks for making the last 21 Christmas's special.

Thanks VM for all the good times

well, we just finished season 3 and watched the pitch for season 4. It was sad knowing it was going to be the last we see of her.

By season 3, we kind of guessed all the mysteries up front, but still it was exciting. I love Logan.

Thanksgiving

I have now spent Thanksgiving with white people, Puerto Ricans, and now black people.

One thing is the same throughout. Music and dancing. My family gets together and does an interprative dance number to the Dixie Chicks, Landslide. Puerto Ricans dance the salsa and play instruments along with the radio. The black family pumps up Beyonce, does some line dances, then slows things down with Barry White.

Funny, how its the same thing in each house going on.

He really does listen

Tonight on our walk, I was explaining to Josh that it was finally happening. I always tell him leaves on green, but they are going to change and fall. So, all red leaves on the ground. I said see Josh, look at the leaves.

with that he waits till we are under a tree and points up to the leaves and makes a noise.

So, there you have it. He's been listening, leaves are on trees.

Adventures in Babysitting....

Tonight, we had our new little friend over to get to know us before he is dropped off tomorrow. I like to think Josh just had a strong interest in this kid's head, but the way he kept smacking it makes me wonder.

Toy sharing and refereeing. The little boy goes right down to sleep...2 hour naps twice a day. Our new friend is going to show us how its done. Josh...its boot camp time.

Night 8 of no sleep. Tylenol was already admistered tonight before our walk. Getting ready to put him down now.

For my mother, Leo also saw the big one coming in in the back of his mouth. lol...

So....Leo came home from his stint away wanting us to go out to eat...that explains my dinner.
