Welcome to Heaven!

This past weekend Mom-Mom and Opa (Karl's parents) came down for a visit...plus they watched Max today while I was at the Doctor.

We had a great time...Saturday while the boys went into work Mom-Mom, Max and I went out and did a little shopping. Our first stop was Bed, Bath and Beyond. Mom-Mom just got a new Keurig Coffee Maker and wanted to get a holder for her coffee....we were in the aisle of the actual makers and I got a chance to see the Mini-Keurig that is out now. At this time I can't really have a lot of coffee so I was commenting that it would be perfect for me, Karl doesn't drink coffee either so again I thought it would be perfect for me but of course it was wishful thinking so we kept moving.

We came a clearance kiosk and we noticed that there was a mini-keurig there and it all it said was display. Now the normal price for one was $80. This one was marked $30.....we both looked at each other and I grabbed it...then of course started debating and Mom-Mom said I will buy it for you for your birthday! Woo-Hoo!!!! I LOVE IT!

It's perfect....it brews just the right size cup for me and it's so fast, quiet, and sooo easy! Thanks so much Mom-Mom! I love it!!!!

A New Do....

I have been contemplating cutting Max's hair on my own for a while now. Last September my Mom and Aunt came out for visit and while they were here my Aunt who is a stylist cut Max's hair - well since then it has grown quite a bit....hence the big long spikes!

I have been cutting Karl's hair for quite a while now with clippers and do a pretty decent job (minus one little misstep a few weeks backs, but that has completely grown and he probably barely remembers it. HE HE!) BUT I have been wanting to cut Max's so I took a big gulp this afternoon and did it.

He did great....just sat there in Karl's lap and even had the chills the few times, almost like he liked me playing with his hair. I didn't go super short but it's pretty short.

He looks like such a little boy now....for whatever reason when we got done and were changing his shirt he was not very happy....

But he calmed down after that and just went out to the living room and started playing....he looks so cute I can't even stand it!

I can almost taste spring!

Spring is in the air here in New Jersey. It's supposed to be a high of 62' out today and I am loving it. Our tree in the front year already has some buds on it and some of our plants are starting to shoot up....YEAH!

It's supposed to drop back down to the forties last towards the weekend but I don't care, I have the spring bug! Now if I could just kick this last little bit of "trimester" sickness....or what some would call morning sicknes...HA if I only had it in the morning I would be golden!! LOL!

I am back!

Sort of. :)
This is my second day of feeling almost normal so I am hoping it's a trend....say a little prayer for me that the yucko days of being sick are gone!

Anyway I haven't been doing much for these last 6 weeks, kind of hibernating. We did go up to Vermont a few weeks ago, that was fun. Was only about a 6 1/2 sick (that is 1 being normal and 10 being worst.) Got to hang out with a childhood friend of Karl's and his wife and their son. Who is about 4 months younger than Max. It was really cute to see them play together!

We also had Mom-Mom and Opa down for a weekend visit, AND just this past week Nana and Papa Jim came out for a stay. It was nice having help! Thanks to all of our awesome grandparents who I would be lost without!

Anyway here are some random pics of Max that I took in February! Enjoy!
This last one if my favorit! I just love the look on his face and how serious he looks! I don't know how Karl got him to sit still for it but it cracks me up every time I see it!
