HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Hope everyone had a good halloween. by the pictures, you can tell we did. Tony stayed home and handed out candy while me, jen and carol with the kids went trick-or-treating. mack and mason were teenage mutant ninja turtles and lily was an elephant. in case you can't tell, mady is a pumpkin and the cutest one of them all!! :) she enjoyed all the suckers she got.
i'll have to take pic tomorrow of how we decorated the house. it's too dark right now to show some of the decorations. we got head stones with skeletons and ghosts on the lawn, a witch which flew into our house, a skeleton and pumpkin at the end of the walkway that light up, skeletons hanging in front of the door, cob webs in front of the door, eyes in the window that light up and two jack-o-lanterns. obviously, if i take the pic tomorrow during the day so you can see the head stones and witch you won't be able to see the eyes, skeleton and pumpkin that light but that's the price i'll just have to pay. i can't have it all!!

mady's new carseat. doesn't totally match her new stroller but i liked it the best and it fits real good. it's more girlie than our old one which was blue and black and she always got mistaken for a li'l boy. like hello, she's dressed in pink and covered up with a pink blanket. why assume it's a boy just cause of the color of the carseat! can you tell, it made me mad. anyways, it's the perfect colors where we could use it again for our next baby if it's a boy.

Mady in her new stroller. She got woken up to be put in the stroller to have the pix taken so she doesn't have an opinion of it yet. but i know she loves it!!

our snow is gone. (actualy it was gone the next day by 9am but i didn't get around to taking a pix and posting it until now.)

SNOW

like our snow. it started as wet snow but then got thicker and thicker and came down faster and faster. they are saying it's not gonna last but this is just the beginning. since i have lived in new york, we have not had snow in october or been this cold near halloween. there's this much snow already and it has only been snowing for 2.5 hrs.
i ordered a new stroller today. it's the same as krystin's but different colors, the jeep liberty urban terrian 3 wheeler (jogger). tony likes it better than ours (which i picked out without him when i was pregnant) because the front wheel swivels. i like it better because it's smaller than ours. the front wheel on ours doesn't bother me much, i can maneuver it just fine the way it is but i do the size of the liberty better. so that's it. mady gets a new stroller and we have to go buy a carseat which will only sit in it not latch so i am sure that will take a while to find a seat that semi matches and fits properly. a girl which is due in january in my class at school bought our old one.

Mady slept in her big girl bed last night...for the whole night. She slept better in there for one night than she has in her bassinet for the past week. I think she got too big for her bassinet that was in our bedroom and she needed more space to sleep and since she could more around better last night and feel as crowded, she slept for 9 hours and didn't wake p once. We got her new baby monitors so she could sleep in her own room. I like these monitors, the base has a night light and it has 2 receivers. Well, we'll let you know how the next couple of nights go with her in her own bed and lets see if she sleeps better everynight!

My Beautiful Wife and Daughter!!!!!!

I thought since my Wife and Daughter are sound asleep I would take the time to post a surprise blog for them.

Michelle and Madisyn,
Thank you for giving me more in life than I could ever dream of. For the memories, the future and a life more prescious than one could ever dream of. Every day holds another smile and another surprise. I see more than two beautiful faces, but deep within your eyes I see an eternal light that that will always guide me home from my trips. It's magical how every time I look into both of your eyes, I see stars shine, but at 35,000 feet on a flight at night I look at the stars shining and picture your eyes. How I long to be home with you, my two loves.

Michelle,
You are my wife, my life, the holder of my love. The one to whom I look for in times when I need strength. The one who shares my path in times of success and in times of failure, but no matter which, the one who keeps me strong and focused. I love you more and more every day and will always hold you dear above all others. I only hope I can be as of much strength as you are to me. You shall always amaze me.

Madisyn,
Daddy loves you like no other, my firstborn beautiful baby girl. Such shining eyes of innocence laced with love and wonderment. How precious a child can be, but one will never know until they hold their own. Your smiles, your newfound laughter echo in my mind like the song of angels. How I fall asleep at night with such tremendous excitement I'll never know. The things I will teach you and undoubtedly the things you will teach me bring beautiful thoughts to mind. Daddy will always be there for you little girl. You will always know that. I will always prove that.

Your loving Husband and Father,
Tony
