Stairs... Bahhhh!

Madelyn and I fell down the stairs early Tuesday morning. It was very scary but she is OK. I am very bruised and in some pain, but nothing is broken. How on Earth did nothing break?! So, because I'm a little sluggish here are some pictures...



A few pictures of Madelyn in Mikayla's angel costume. :-) Thank you cousin Mikayla for letting us borrow your wings!

It's her party and she'll be awesome if she wants to.

Maddy's birthday party occurred without a hitch! What a wonderful day, but ask me if I'm ever doing it again... no. I am so tired!! Nonetheless, it was a really fun day to share with family and friends. Maddy received some great gifts and cake! Here is a sample of her party...

More to come :-)

Want to see the Ring?

Going to the Chapel...

And we're gonna get married. Gee I really love him and we're gonna get married. Is that how it goes? Well anyway you get the point, as of Saturday October 17th I am officially engaged to the love of my life. In the most private and special moment Ray asked to spend his life with me, I cried and then said yes! In these past few years he has made me feel as though I am... well, special. To have him enter my life was nothing short of a miracle and something I am convinced my Nana sent to me.
So, I am getting MARRIED Maybe Maddy will be my maid of honor? :-)

I had purchased Madelyn some new PJs. Her pooh-bear belly sticks out a little, but she does look smashing in Dora.

On Tuesday we went to the Topsfield Fair with daddy, but mommy forgot her camera. We did have a really great time and got to try some fantastic food! On Sunday we went with Nana, this time making sure the camera was in the car...

The above picture is Maddy pulling Nana's earrings out not caring about the spectacular Clydesdale Show going on behind her.

We then went around to see the manamils, or animals if you want to be grammatically correct.

Flashback a few weeks... Remember when I said we went to see the Mansions in Newport but I didn't have pictures? Now I do!

Here is lunch at the Tennis Championship Hall of Fame...

A couple shots from around the grounds...

As we are on the subject of way-to-late posts I'll do my Not me!

Who went through the Dunkin Donuts drive-through this morning at too tight a clip and is pretty sure she ripped apart her tire rim but then still never looked to see because she didn't want to start her day off like that. Not me!

Canal as in Root

I had a root canal yesterday. Ewwwww..... may be your first thought, but wait... It was not all that bad. Honestly, I have had worse fillings! Technology rocks!

Downside to this wonderful day you ask? Technology costs money... lots of it. Brush your tooters ladies and gentlemen, or that lovely vacation to Aruba you had in the back of your mind- well that will wind up in the back of your mouth!

(It was nice being pampered by everyone yesterday though :) Mom ordered take-out, Ray fixed me ice-cream, and Maddy stayed up all night screaming, probably out of worry for me. Laughing out loud!)

Thursday Thoughts

Since moving into our new house I have received a greater appreciation for the US Postal Service. Each and every home gets their own mail portal. Through this portal you can send and receive mail for $0.44! Try and think of something you can buy for 0.44... go on, I'll give you a minute.


Come up with anything? Didn't think so.
