Australia At Last!!

Wow! What a trip!!! It started off on the wrong foot with Chris throwing his back out minutes before we had to leave for the airport. After madly scrambling through the phone book to find a chiropractor (ours was out of town) we finally found one and got him in. Thankfully we made it to the airport in time. We had a 7 hour layover in San Francisco so did some sightseeing. Then began our 14 hour flight to Sydney. Boy, were our legs swollen & sore. Gotta remember to walk around more on the flight home!!! We made it to Sydney without problems & then after a little confusion got on our flight to Cairns! But, unfortunately, they lost my suitcase with all of my clothes!!! So, got to buy a new outfit! :) We're comfortably settled in our hotel now. Chris is getting a massage & will go to the chiropractor today. Hopefully it'll all be better by then!!

Three Days Before Christmas





Three Days Before Christmas.....

Chris' stupid customer "forgets" to get money out of the bank so he can pay his guys

I have to run down to North Salem with the last of our savings so Chris can pay his guys

It's raining...

A stupid idiot in a BMW neglects to yield at a Yield Sign

The lady in front of my steps on her brakes and then slams on her brakes....

I slow down and then slam on my brakes too....too late....my poor, poor Audi!

So sad!! Now we head to PA for Christmas with the Martins!

Christmas with Jeaden!






Sunday I went down to the Bronx to see my godson & give him his Christmas gifts. He is quite the little talker now! He's only 14 months old and when he opened his first gift he turned to me & said "Thank you!" My friend Sharnett & I were surprised! It was awesome...he had no prompting! It was also great to catch up with Sharnett.

My "Date" with Brandon






Wednesday I took my friends' son Brandon out for a "date" to celebrate being almost completely potty trained. We had a great time! First we went to Ruby Tuesdays for hamburgers & fries. While we were there he said "Aunt Marla, I like you & Aunt Momo!" (Isn't that sweet!?!?) Then we went to Build A Bear & he chose a bear to stuff. It was a lot of fun! We got a Yankee's uniform for the bear too! :) When the clerk asked what he wanted to name the bear, he said "Baby Jesus"! I said this is the only baby Jesus you'll see decked out in a Yankees uniform! LOL!!! We were gonna go to the park too, but some

body fell asleep in the back seat! :)

Jule's Shower



My friend Julie is due in March, but her family was in town so they had her baby shower early. The nursery theme is Snoopy. Her mother-in-law made the cake - it looked amazing! Here are Julie, Jessica & I!
