thats my life!!!!

KARA ......NOooooooooooooooo

OMG! I can't believe what 2 weeks, a wedding, and a vacation with Kara has done...I'm typing right now watching this little turd crawl over to all my magazines and yank them off the shelf and kiss all the babies (they are those parenting mags) all while ripping them and I tell her No, she laughs at me...then she decides just a little bit ago that she's just too cool for crawling she's gonna go over the coffee table and pull her self up, look at me and laugh...where has my baby gone? She is crawling all over, babbling, drinking from a sippy...eating everything on the floor (which reminds me I should be vacuuming)...etc.



Well, my wedding went off without a major problem...other than you know Tim's brothers decided to start a fight with each other in the church parking lot, but thank God for bridesmaids who pushed me in the limo and got me a stiff drink...ugh...I'll never forgive them, but whatever, I still had a great time!



We went off to Atlantic City with Kara lulu and we had so much fun, I really enjoyed our family time as just the three of us, but it was exciting to get back and see the boys! Here are a couple pictures of my little 8 month old!

2 weeks...the countdown begins!

**EDITORS NOTE...I'M SEVERELY FURIOUS THAT I JUST LOST A WHOLE BLOG...AND I'M IN THE PROCESS OF GETTING OVER IT AND I'M GOING TO TRY TO REMEMBER SO HERE I GO...***

Hello People! I know its been awhile and that seems to be the introduction to many of my blogs, but after checking it hasn't been that long...really...just a month. So much has happened in the last month I will try to sum it up, leave the boring stuff out and try to make it a good blog.

---First things first...I'm two...yes 2 weeks away from my dream wedding...although I ruined a surprised today...sorry Mom, I love you to peices! Things are crazy in the Thomas household, but really, we will make it through. Tim reminded me today that his family will be here in like 10 days and we need to find room for a family of 4 to stay, which we have room, it's just "making room" Everything is all set, the dresses are all ready, I'm ready...lets get this show on the road!

---Secondly, school has started for Daddy, Mommy and Brandon, and Tyler will be starting September 29th! And my very most exciting news EVER...we found a babysitter...yeah...on staff development day at work, I was talking to a 1:1 aide thats been at JRC for 18 years and she grew up in Watertown and so in coversation I explained how we are in desperate need of a babysitter 2 1/2 days a week and she mentioned her neighbor who watches children and how great she is with them, so I came home that night, Tim was working and I decided to call her around 7ish. To my surprise and I'm sure I even started to cry she accepted...not only Kara but Brandon too! I thanked her like 20 times, I'm sure of it. The price is just amazing. This news came at a time where I had so much going on. We had it all figured out that I was going to resign from my job, Tim was going to work 12 hours of overtime to make up what I was losing (yeah...12 hours...freakin sad I know) and I was going to start watching baby Jayden just for my extra "Wal-Mart" money! I was so excited, we went the first day of school and met with her and I fell in love. Tim liked her...Kara was hilarious with the other kids and we were all ready for her to start on Tuesday the 9th, well circumstances that I didn't want landed me to need her on the 5th...I called her at like 7:30 on Thursday night to ask her if it would be ok she started early and she said no problem...YIPPPPEEEEE....she's just amazing...she's a great Christian girl with 3 kids of her own shes 43...just what I wanted...I can't stop raving over it.

---Thirdly, Tyler still isn't living with us, we are still "fighting" for what we feel is in his best interest, to get away from his mothers abusive home, what we think and what Judge Hunt think are two different things, but I'm sure if he were a fly on the wall when we "exchange" him back to his mother, he would see how much he really wants to live here. He is so excited to go to school, he frequently goes to the door, gets in the closet, gets his shoes and says...school Mommy...lets go! We did find out...shhh to all you bloggers, who I'm pretty sure are way above "Mommy of the Year" that during a recent CPS investigation in her house, Tyler escaped, got out the back door and was playing out front by the main road...really...yeah...I freaked out along with Tim when I told him, so we find out September 24th via phone conference from our Honeymoon spot (yet to be finalized) what Judge Hunt says about the investigation. Trail is set for October 24...wish us luck!

---Lastly, My PRINCESS is 7 months old already and she amazes me every single day. I never in a million years would have imagined that being a mother would be this rewarding. Every morning serves as a blessing to walk into her room and see her sitting up peeking over the railing and giving me the biggest smile ever, and I swear it gets bigger every morning. She has 2 bottom teeth that are half way through and you can see them when she smiles and giggles. We haven't mastered crawling, only rocking back and forth on all 4's, but I believe she has decided not to crawl, she wants to roll everywhere. I was just telling Tim at dinner that this morning I went to get Tyler breakfast and she was in the livingroom playing and when I came back in I couldn't find her, she had rolled over to her toys and was in the corner. I wouldn't have seen her if it wasn't for her giggling when she saw me. She is gaining weight, last check was 16lbs 3oz, a little small I think, but hey...I would have killed to be petite, so I will live through my daughter!!

As always I will promise to blog more and now that a trusty Watertown Possible First Lady reads my blog...thanks Jess I will try to do better. And really if I knew how to link other peoples blogs I would do it, maybe I will give it a try, but if I can't it's upstatejourney.blogspot.com...Jessica (Lynch) Renzi.
