I should start by saying I have a terrible memory. If Matt was writing this, he would know how the weather was, how the redskins did that year, what we were wearing, etc. My memories are very basic. My friend Meg was dating a boy named Tommy, who happened to be Matt's best friend. I always had a big crush on Matt, and although we were friends, he NEVER seemed at all interested. Well Meg and Tommy had recently broken up and were going to go out on a date and Meg asked me to come along. I knew Matt would be there, but we were just friends. On the way up Tommy's driveway, Meg decides to inform me, "oh, by the way, I told Tommy you had a super huge crush on Matt and he kinda told him"............ "WHAT??!!!", I exclaimed! No way am I going now. She persisted that we were in the driveway and I told her to take me home! She refused and got out of the car and I sat alone wondering how I could get home without making a bigger fool of myself. A few minutes went by a...

OC pics!

Finally our pics from the beach! We had such an amazing little vacation! We decided to let Cayleigh run the day and just pretty much do whatever she wanted, go where the mood struck her etc. It is so fun to go at your kids' pace, and see what amazes them and watch them discover and explore. Friday: We left friday afternoon for OC and had an uneventful ride there. Cayleigh slept for about 3 hours, which made for a nice car ride. We checked in took a walk on the boardwalk and went to Seacrets for dinner, and dumsers for dessert. Our first night in OC, eating Dumser's ice cream! Saturday Saturday we spent most of the day on the boardwalk, walking about 8 miles! We also went to Assateague Island and saw the horses, it is always so amazing to see and so beautiful! Came back and Matt and Cayleigh took a 3 hour nap, and headed to Ember's for dinner. Swimming with mommy in the indoor pool! Assateague Island, her favorite part of the trip. I think she was surprised that horses were...

Cayleigh's 18 month appointment....

The appointment went pretty good! Aside from her terrible fit during the shots and any time the doctor or nurse touched her. She did a little better because I brought her a juice box and her favorite toy(hey), so she cried alot but only screamed during shot time. She is 23lbs, 32.5 inches tall and they didn't give me a number, but said she has "lots of room for brains"! Told him about the sleeping issues. Basically they aren't "issues", we get her to sleep, put her in her crib, and anywhere from 1-5am she wakes up and sleeps in bed with us. He said it wasn't a big deal as long as we were ok with it and that eventually she will sleep through the night. We love snuggling with her anyway, so we will leave it as is. We think most likely this summer she will start sleeping through the night from being able to be more active outside. Mentioned the 2 naps a day and he thought it was fine! Said we all wished we could take 2 naps a day, and since she wakes up so...

I promise....

TONS of pics to come from the beach! Got home Sunday evening, and went to my mom's and forgot about the time change and didn't leave until almost 9pm! Today was Cayleigh's 18 month appointment and that is a completely different post! I uploaded 529 pics from the beach we spent only 48 hours or so on!!! It's an obsession really, lol!
