Baby's First Disney Visit

Who don't love free Disney tickets?! Well, we got some this weekend and took Adriana to see Mickey! It's funny how having a baby or a child makes you see any experience in a different light. Seeing them have fun is fun for you. Waiting in line for the Pooh ride was less than enjoyable, but seeing her eyes open wide and her suck like crazy on the pacifier when she saw Mickey in the parade was all worth it! It was like she knew she was somewhere special! She was very excited - kicking up her legs and smiling like crazy when we got there. Adri did so good though...she was tired as hell but wasn't cranky and finally passed out while we were in the line for It's a Small World. She was sleeping and the ride was no longer fun for us grown folk. It was the longest ride ever and we were ready to poke our eyes out after the millionth repeat of that song! Jerome got the poops on the ride so it was even more hell for him! I didn't want to lug around my rinky dink camera so I only got a couple iphone pics. Waiting for Marsha to download her fancy schmacy new black friday camera pics!

Sometimes I Have to Look Away

cause the beauty is too much at one time.

9 Months 1 Day

Today is Wednesday November 14th and that means Adriana Carly is 9 months and 1 day old. I can't believe that she's nearly 1 already. Time's flying and I wanted to remember things about her at this age. ~ She LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Nothing calms her down and catches her attention like that cartoon! When it comes on TV or you sing the theme song for her she pumps her legs or jumps up and down! ~ When she's tired she rubs her eyes or puts her index finger in her ear, and rubs the side of her head! It's too cute. ~ When she doesn't want something, she crosses her lil arms! It's the cutest thing ever. ~ She has 6 teeth already! And they're the cutest toofers ever. When she laughs, oh the teeth show and it's too funny! ~ She loves when you run with her. All the movement and bouncing cracks her up so much! She laughs the most when Marsha does it with her! ~ When she sees me, I get a big ole smile as her way of saying she recognizes me. Turns me into a total puddle! ~ She loves her bath. LOVES! And she knows to open her legs and will leave them open until you close them yourself! ~ SHe loves her reflection. After baths, you gotta stop by the mirror and show her herself. After she smiles, you can move on! - She LOVES my homemade yogurt. Marsha says she kicks her legs and cries when Marsha's slow with the spoon! I'm sure Marsha has a million more things she does at this age but that's what I got so far from being an Auntie to the best baby in the world!

This Girl...

Doesn't this picture just crack you up!

A Blast From the Past

Many moons ago, when Lee was actually wooing me he took me to St. Augustine for the day. It's a little historic town 2 hours from Orlando and we decided to visit again for my 30th birthday weekend. Our first stop was actually Ormond beach where we spent the day laying out and had dinner at the Ocean Deck, another place we were 6 years ago. The whole weekend was great. We stayed in this quaint bed & breakfast, walked around town, ate the local goodies and revisited special places. I couldn't imagine that we were there 6 years later. It felt like we came full circle and was mind blowing to think that we were now married and how those 6 years came in a blink of an eye.

Park Pics

My cup runneth over with this girl.

Yea, I got some pretty awesome bling and I love looking at them sparkle everywhere I go. But what I love most is Lee’s ring. Not the design, but how he hasn’t taken it off since we got married. It’s been on his finger since and I love seeing it on his hand 24 hours a day. He mows the lawn with it, showers, bikes, empties the trash…everything with it. He says it’s getting scratched because of it but I tell them that I rather it be all scratched and dented to death on his finger than pristine looking in a jewellery box. I’ve waited a long time to see that ring there and it makes my heart smile everytime I see it.

Post Wedding

I can’t believe it’s nearly one month since we got married. One month since the best day of our lives! It truly was the most amazing wedding we could have asked for. Everything was perfect and I still miss the feeling of the day and of being the bride. Lee will still indulge my ego sometimes and still say, “Hello Bride” or “ Are you still my bride?” Totally does a number on me and I hope he still does it 10 years from now. The pictures speak for themeslves but I wanted to do a post on what’s been going on since our fabulous day. Basically, everything’s the same! Nothing much’s changed really and we love it like that. There’s no transitionary period of living together or getting to know eachother in this new role. We’re still the same with eachother…I still take out his meals for him and I still kick him out the bed when he snores. He still opens my car doors and let’s one rip under the covers every now and again ! It was really like we’ve always been married. We feel the same for eachother, but for me since July 27th, my love for him has deepened. Not gotten wider but there’s a depth of love I feel for him that wasn’t there before. Something about knowing we’re one now and in it for the long haul, no matter what. I think he feels it too even though he won’t articulate it in so many words. I get more unsolicited I love you’s, and random acts of sweetness. I hope that stays so forever too! Hope being the operative word there! Life is good and we’re enjoying each other everyday. I like the fun and exciting things, but it’s the simple, quiet times with him that I really love and appreciate the most.

Wine-o's

Today the local winery was having their annual festival but more importantly, they were having a Buy One, Get One on their cases of wine. With the wedding weekend drinking extravanza coming up, we couldn't pass this deal up. There was food, drinks, local artist tents, grape stomping, wine tours & tasting. It was packed and the weather was humid so after some grub and wine tastings, we blew that pop stand. Here are some pics from today.

The Downside of Shacking Up...

It's 1 am. I drag myself off the bed cause I have to pee and I go through the usual mental battle. To get up or not to get up...then I hear my mother saying I'll get a bladder infection...so I get up but I'm not opening my eyes. I always walk to the bathroom with my eyes closed at that hour of the morning. I turn out of my room and BAM! I walk into this soft, squishy, hairy mass. There was a scream and then cuss words when I realised my life wasn't in the hands of a home intruder. It was only Lee making his way to bed. I don't know what made me more mad...the fact that I had to open my eyes or that I could have stiffled to death in his belly. The lesson kids - Shacking up is not only immoral, it's dangerous.

Undescribeable

I can't explain to you how this picture makes me feel. All I know is that I can't look at it for too long because it's overwhelming and I can't wrap my mind around how perfect and cute she is. My senses get overloaded and I feel them all at the same time. Happiness, Pride, Fun, Anticipation, Longing, Wanting, Needing...you name it, I feel it with this picture. That ever happen to you?
