Celebrate the Memory of Bunny

Bunny was my kitty since I was twenty one years old, which was a really long time ago. She and I found each other in a move and she ended up being mine for the seventeen years she was on this earth. She went through several name changes as I couldn't find a name that really suited her, but for some strange reason Bunny just ended up being the one that fit. She had fur as soft as a bunny so I guess there's our name. She loved to snuggle and keep me warm. She put up with several moves, an addition of another cat, a dog, a husband/daddy, and two babies. She let Tanner pet her whenever he wanted with no complaints. She even let Taylor pick her up when she had such a grip on her ear and fur and never lashed out. We'll miss her greeting first thing in the morning, following everyone around the house, and tormenting Jasmine. Who will Jasmine chase now? She was a dream kitty and we all will miss her very much. Love you my Bun Bun.

Happy 2nd Birthday (July 12) Tan Tan

We got the call from Dr. Fisch "YOU'RE PREGNANT!!!!" After three rounds of IVF we finally got our BFP. I was just so excited to be pregnant I didn't care if we had a boy or girl...until...I started shopping. It amazed me how much girl stuff there was and it was soooooooooo pretty. I was never a pink girl but I became one. I snapped out of that really fast when the peri said "we'll your baby has three legs". No really he said that (and despite how corney he was I really liked him). I have to admit I was a little disappointed to not get the pretty little dresses and pink fluffy bedding...that was until I met him. I never knew how much I could love another being until I met Tanner (yes I love my husband, but it is different as I'm sure most of you know). Tanner, your smile lights up a room. Your high pitch scream gets everyones attention. Your blue eyes and long curled eyelashes are unreal. Your energy, fearlessness, creativity, and love of life amaze me everyday. There is nothing in the world that makes me happier than coming home from being away and hearing you yell "Mommy" "Mom" "Mamma" over and over again until you get to me, hold out your arms, until I pick you up, you kiss mommy hello and tell me about your day. Daddy loves when you kiss him, wave and say "bye bye". He loves wrestling around with you on the floor and before bed cuddling up and reading with you. We are amazed everyday at how lucky we are to have our Tan Tan Bubba Man!! Happy 2nd Birthday!!! While Tanner loves Mockingbird, mamma still tries to sing this to him from time to time (despite my lack of vocal skills). I played it to him everyday after the fifth month, when I was pregnant with him.

Rant Over. Things To Be Thankful For

The family is in San Diego right now for the 4th of July. We had a great day at Sea World, went on a walk and played on the beach. Is there anything better than happy family time???
