MIMI?

I have been asked, what's with the Mimi?
It is very simple. About a year and a half ago Aidan gave me a nickname.
You guessed it, MIMI was born.
Nadia picked it up and they quickly traded mommy for Mimi.
It felt like he claimed me, not just that he got stuck with me as his mom.

It is reserved now for snuggles and moments of pure manipulation.

Nadia has promised that all 10 of her kids will call me Mimi, too.

Wow! It's like Christmas!

Today we recieved a package in the mail from Grandpa John and Nana Becky. It was like Christmas all over again. They completely spoiled the kids and us during Christmas, not to mentioned served a terrific dinner and hosted a completely relaxing get-together. This package included such thoughtful gifts for each of us. To top it off, they sent us Tony's Christmas ornaments from when he was a child!

So thank you Grandpa John and Nana Becky for a wonderful January 18th! I only wish you could have seen how excited Aidan was with his cubes and how much Nadia enjoyed dressing up her babies.

multiplied by 3. Nadia already had it. It was only a matter of time. Now the rest of us are enjoying blurry vision, itchy eyedrops and oh yeah, it comes with a headache.

Aidan and I are home today making the most of it. Poor Tony had to go to work anyway. shhhh, hope it doesn't spread.

Insulation makes a big difference

Who would have thought? Ok, maybe you engineer-types. You really get a sense of space now!

That's what she said, again and again.
