The teeth...The Pain

Okay...Formula may enter our household, which I do not want to do. Little Miss Ashlynn is thinking it is hysterical to use her two new chompers to bite her mother repeadedly! OUCH! While she bites me she looks up with this grin, so then I am trying to be firm, eyes watering in pain, and I am having trouble not laughing. It is like a painful bipolar moment in my mommy world. This is not okay! Good thing she is more than cute!

lol...Dana just called me and apparently he stepped in a puddle of gasoline (accidentally) at a gas station, which resulted in an unbelieveable gas stench...Then the gasoline precedes to eat through the soles of his shoes??!! Honestly?! So he is trying to find a shoe store in this little town he is working in today because rain and gasoline have filled his shoes since he has basically no sole left. Only us, I swear!!

I can't wait to post some pictures of Ashlynn's dangerous teeth once they come through a little more! Lots of love to you all!

The blogging begins!

As a mommy to 4 beautiful children and being a mom that loves the computer, I figured I would start my mommy blog to create a chronicle of our excursions, new discoveries, our trials, our triumphs, and much much more. I find myself spending so much time trying to recall things to tell my children about some day or share with family and friends, and I end up forgetting over half of it with "mommy brain", so I wanted to create this. This is for my family and friends, and my babies and me to keep track of our milestones here in NC!

For those of you that don't know, my husband, Dana, and I moved to North Carolina in October of 2007 from Bangor, Maine to be closer to Paige (Dana's oldest daughter). Dana had an opportunity to transfer his position and we jumped at the chance to be near Paige and be in an area so fulfilling for education and entertainment!

We lived in Cary at first and when we decided to buy a house, we bought a house in Raleigh. I love it here! I am a stay at home mom and I cannot say enough about the opportunites this area has provided my children and myself to learn, explore, make friends, and stay very BUSY!!!

I really hope that everyone enjoys the little tidbits of our lives we can share with you! Our children are amazing and they grow and learn all too quickly!

You'll hear from me soon!
