My sweet girl,
Life has been so very busy lately. And I feel like I've been neglecting you.
I just needed to take a moment and tell you how much I love you. How very much I miss you and how very much I want to hold you again. With your birthday coming up soon, it's hard for me to even focus on Oct. 15th. I have enough pain from the 22nd. Mommy's in Maine now. I got here on the 15th. Can't help but think back to 6 yrs ago when I was visiting here w/you, safe inside my tummy. I got...

Bub got his first tooth---awwww.
Ever since Brian got home, his fingers are Brennan's favorite chew toys. Brian kept saying how hard his gums felt and that it hurt and he was sure Brennan was going to cut a tooth. Well no less than TWO hours and one nap AFTER we bring Brian to the airport to leave what does Momma find? A jagged lil piece of tooth sticking out of his gums. His first tooth broke through at last. Right after Daddy leaves. I think that tooth is bugging him a lot though because...

Ok so she's been five for a whole four days now but looking at her tonight, right now laying on my rug....it's hitting home BIG time. Who is this big girl in front of me?? Where did my itty bitty baby go??
The poor girl spent the day w/a cough and then later a fever and an awful cold which has lasted days now. Thanks to Pre-k. Actually we've all been sick, taking turns since we got back from our florida trip. It just won't go away!! Poor Brian--who left to go back to Iraq yesterday ...

I know, I know....Jenn what the hell are you doing on the computer, right?
Everyone is sleeping right now. The babies are napping and Brian has literally crashed. It took him FOUR days to get home to us and sleeping on benches in airports isn't exactly comfortable.

Needless to say I have a hard time napping right now. I'm too excited to sleep.
This morning was very hectic and rushed. I was still in bed asleep when he called to tell me he was in ATLANTA!!!...

Ok it's been an excitement filled day. My OTHER sister, *N* emailed me today (along with C sending me another email as well) and N sent pix of her 3 kids. She said she cried when she saw my page because my son resembled her middle child as a baby....she emailed me pictures and the resemblance is uncanny....OMG!!

Here's Brennan & "N", my sister's 2nd son as a baby...(he's now 6 and he has my kids nose and mine as well )
...

Just received this msg....holy crap my head's gonna explode.

I am so happy about my "Dad". I didn't realize how much i cared about him....

Hi Jenn, it's *C*

So I've started this note five times now...not sure where to begin. I'm still a little shocked, but excited. I don't have my------, but I would LOVE to e-mail you. My e-mail address is ------------. If you want to e-mail me your address there or just send it back to...

Well yesterday was quite an amazing day. A month and a half ago i was looking through my----- and trying to do a search for someone. And for the heck of i decided to try to find my half-brother. I didn't bother w/my 2 half sisters because i figured by now they'd be married, have new names, etc. I put in his name and decided to go w/the state that i last saw them at. Well i found him. He had a wedding picture up and i recognized my half-sisters, they look the same as when we were kids! and their...

And guess what they wanted? Yup! Tomorrow i have to go up there and sign a consent form for them to use Brennan's picture (the b&w one) in the studio and also the photographer wants to use his picture as her submission in some contest they are doing for sears potrait studios. Awww....my baby!!



Oops, looks like i never posted THAT one here. How could i forget that one????

Well you won't find THIS picture hanging up at your local SEARS portrait studio.

I can't believe my lil man turned 6 mths old yesterday....
Where has the time gone, seriously?? He's almost a year old. Ok i'm being irrational. It's just going so quick. Maybe because i'm afraid this is it for me?
Anyway he may be getting too old too quick but i love this kid to death.
All day long he's been chanting my name "Mum-ma, mum, mumma!!" It's fabulous. I never tire of hearing him say it. He's been doing it for over a week. He got so excited at the...
