All washed up!

Today it rained....and I mean RAINED! I was sick this past week (and I mean SICK) and desparetly needed to restock a few items. Costco was a must even with this deluge. Fortunately the rain didn't stop me from bringing home a smile...I mean where else can you get fountain dt. coke for $ .63!!!!! So I was thoroughly soaked but happy! The pic is from my phone and the soaking is just from one trip from the doors of Costco to the doors of my Camry! Whew!!

Happy Holidays...Belated!

A little Feldman photo recap of 2009....Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all - LATE! Sorry we didn't get our cards out this year. (This video is LONG...feel free to skip around!)

Go Here to watch...

Some explaining...

It is shameful to come back to this blog now. There are so many things that I wanted to write about and commit to something much more permanent than my memory - I just didn't do it. I got too paralyzed by not having the cute/funny/witty that I never posted. Whenever I relate a story or item of interest to my Dad he predictably asks, "Did you write that in your journal?" Since I gave up journal writing the day I got married I always have to sheepishly mumble an excuse. I want to use this as a place to record the easily forgotten, the mundane, and even my frustrations. Then next time he asks I can say..."yes, have you read my blog?"

The best reason to keep this up over the next year is even better. My Mom and her husband are serving a mission in Australia and keeping them updated on my life and the kids is proving to be much harder than I anticipated so Mom this is also for you!

Because there is nothing else to post...

THIS IS HOW HE IS MOST OF THE TIME - scary chompers and all!

What we did on Wednesday...

The faux-hawk is for real...no coaxing.







Wednesday was glorious... It took 65 degree weather to get me back on the posting wagon. I had to post this just to remember that we had one nice day in February. It is supposed to snow again next week.

My little "Chewy"

Ever since Callum was tiny he has been a "high maintenance" baby. Even with his fussy temperament we have loved every inch of this little man. He will be all peaches and cream until something doesn't go his way and then he begins to whine and moan in a way that sounds a lot like this guy:


Exhibit A: (use your imagination ;)



With a move to a full-size crib, medication to help keep him "regular", and the breakthrough of 2 teeth we have seen a lot more of this:



I am "knocking on wood" as I type hoping that maybe we have outgrown some of his Chewbaca wailing. Hold your breath with me and I'll keep you posted!

Crazy??

My mind ---- seriously I think I've lost it... probably never had much of it to begin with, but what is left is certainly gone. My Family is coming out for a short visit with one request -Tickets to the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. I dutifully purchased tickets for all 6 of us back in October in anticipation.

This week is packed with random events in addition to the upcoming visit and so I was carefully planning it all out on Sunday. As I attempted to print our tickets I realized they were for December 18th NOT December 4th and then I promptly panicked. I spent a full day leaving messages at "guest relations", e-mailing, and attempting to make contact with Radio City. I just needed to know if a swap was even possible before I ran out and sold our tickets to the highest bidder and purchased new ones for the 4th. No Response - really. By this morning I was a little worried. I still hadn't heard a thing in response to my many messages...After a minor (or major) meltdown and lots more phone calls I had secured new tickets on the correct day and time - WHEW!


Why the breakdown? I don't know...it really wasn't that much of a problem. I knew all that in my mind, but just couldn't pull myself together. You know the straw that broke the camel's back, but I'm pretty sure that makes me the camel. I think I need help...preferably the kind that comes with an airline ticket to a tropical location, massage, and a babysitter.
