We have a new addition to our family, her name is Zoe! We love her dearly, well most of us...I think Maya could do without her some days but she is a good sport. I think Maya misses Bella, I still miss her too.

Since I was on a hiatus for so long, I forgot to post some of the pictures we took of our trip to Disney World. Other than the pictures and the memories we brought a few other not so exciting things back with us. Upon our arrival to DTW Adria seemed pretty upset, who could blame her after a week at the most magical place on earth. Well, then she vomitted in the car, again I didn't think anything of it because she has always had a bit of a weak stomach. Not too many hours later with dangerously high fevers we all were experienceing the worst illness EVER! Thank you Disney. By the way 10 of 11 of us got that life threatening stomach bug, different planes, different citites, yeah it was Disney. Don't worry Disney keeps on taking months after you leave and your credit cards company calls you some lazy afternoon to tell you that someone is using your debit card in Georgia. Then when I called my sister to tell her how violated I felt, she thought I was kidding because she had received a similar call just hours before. Yeah, 3 out of 4 of us (the three that checked in at the same time) had our cards used somewhere in Georgia in a short period of time. Thanks Disney. I didn't even get great pictures, but we did have a good time.

We are moving in two days. I can hardly contain myself. Cole is terrified that if we move we might just forget something and then he says he might miss it, whatever that thing is. When we went for our final orientation and walk through my children ran in circles around the empty house and I almost started to cry. Finally, all these years we have prepared for this time in our lives and it is here. Like I said, I can hardly contain myself. For example, my Mother's day which was wonderful, all I wanted to do was pack!

Our computer died:( I am very upset, all of our christmas pictures are on there...of course it happend the day that I didn't sync them to the network. Soon I will post more, but for now lets have a moment of silence for our first computer, the computer that came through for us for 6 years, the computer we loved and adored....

This is the lot that will soon be where our home is!
That is our sold sign!

It took a few minutes to figure out what this little teddy bear was, but once she did, well the picture says it all!


She walked too fast for me to get the picture of the Elmo box, but she was pretty excited, as you can see below.




Adria had her first birthday on the 7th. It was exciting yet a little emotional that my baby isn't a baby anymore, of course I'll still call her 'baby' or 'schnookie' until she is thirty or older!
She had a great day. Cole on the other hand didn't like the whole idea of baby sister getting the attention. He helped her eat her little teddy bear cake and open the presents. The pinnacle of Adria's day was, by far, opening up her new Elmo. We didn't even know that she liked him until about a week or two ago when she finally warmed up to tickle-me-Elmo. Before that she was terrified of the little monster, now she is smitten! All of the other presents have more or less been taken over by her brother, what are you going to do?
