She Never Ceases to Amaze Me........

My Sister that is. The aspiring photographer that she is, I can only hope one day to be half as good as she is. She made my birth announcements for me. They turned out wonderful. Here is a sneak peek!

I know, I know I know........

I am the BIGGEST slacker when it comes to blogging. I must admit though, I have been a very busy women. My water brole around 8:30 at night following Thanksgiving dinner (he waited). Well Mason William arrived into this wonderful world on November 23, 2007 at 12:42 weighing in at a staggering 8 lbs 9 oz and 21 inches long. The delivery was interesting to say the least, and I would do it all over again 10 times more, (Craig says no but we'll see). I fell in love with him the moment I saw him. I must admit, I was a little aprehensive going into this new role of being a mommy to a boy, but I must say I am really loving it. He is another part of my world just like Maddie is. He is an old soul. Maddie is adapting well, we have our day but she is now wanting to hold him all the time. Mason loves to be cuddled just like Maddie used to like and he;s a great eater. I am nursing him so all is well so far. A little colicy here and there but not so so bad. He only cries when he wants something. He is so much fun to dress. I love making him look like a little old man. He scowls whenever he hears Maddie's voice. Little wrinkles scrunch up on his forhead and he looks up at me with the expression like, "Oh God Mommy, what is she going to do to me now. I just look down at him and go "Maddie loves you very much and she wants to show the world." Which is true. I don't know how many times she says "Mason, your my baby brother and I'm your big Siter. I Love You, awwww you're so cute (hugs and kiss).

Below are some of the pictures my sister took of this momentus occassion. I had my Mommy in there, Sandra and Craig of course. It was a wonderful experience for everyone. I look back at these pictures of him and still cry. The days go by so fast I feel that God should let us live in the moment just a little longer, but time goes on. So here he is everyone. My little Man. Mason.

Were does the time go?

I know I know, I have been slacking but since I know my sister is only one who reads this I am kind of discouraged at times. Anyway, so I guess everyone knows that I am having a boy. Mason William is what we will call him. I am very excited and so is Maddie. She loves blowing raspberries on my belly, it's her way of communicating with him. I couldn't help but hack this photo from my sisters block who is quite the amateur photographer. I am so proud of her work. I saw this pic of Maddie and it almost brought me to tears to see how much of a young lady she is turning into. We are fully potty trained and somehow I find myself in awe of how much she has matured in these past couple of months. Words cannot express how much I love, and how proud I am of my Little Lady.

Look what I can do!

All the scrapping that I have been doing with Christopher (for his girlfriend), inspired me to be creative again....check out this altered coupon holder that I made. Anyone want one just let me know!!

Bye Bye Chrisaphor

Our very own Mr. Chris Deleo (my cousin), and one of Maddie's biggest fans, is off to Bloomsburg for college. We wish him all the luck in the world and are so very proud of you. Here are some pics from last night. Enjoy

Day at the Aquarium

Well I stole these from my Sister, so all the photo credit goes to her. We went to the Camden Aquarium yesterday with Sandra, Nan, Cam, Maddie and I. We had alot of fun. It was a funfilled day to say the least. She was beside her self the whole time. Just in awe with all of the fish and the magnitude of it all. Enjoy!

Simpsonized!!

Well in honor of the movie that my hubby just had top see, I figured that I would totally make his day by "simpsonizing" Maddie!! Take a look! Enjoy!

Gracias Mommy......

Maddie has learned Spanish! She loves Dora the Explorer and can recite the episodes almost word for word. So this morning when I gave her Milk to her she said to me, "Gracias Mommy". I was thrown. I said Denada! Here are some pics I took in the Mountains!! Tell me what you think!

Ugh.........

Sorry...I have been dormant once again for a bit. I am sick once again with some kind of chest cold/infection. I have had this stubbon cough now for a couple of weeks. I was getting tired of it so I finally went to the Dr and prescribed me this Antibiotic that is totally kicking my butt and I feel like crap. Maddie is beng so good....she know when I am sick. I have a slight fever now on and off and now I have the chills. I am NEVER sick when I am not pregnant, and as soon as I am pregnant my immune system goes down the tube. Well, I am going to take a nice nap. More photos to come soon, as soon as I feel like taking more!!

Catching Up...

Ok, so I know I have been really slacking but it's been super crazy here for the past couple of weeks. First off we had an Ultrasound on the 3rd and the little buger decided that it was not going to show it's goods, it kept burying itself inside me so I have to now wait another 4 weeks to see. Good news is the Dr says I am doing well and can come every four weeks instead of two. Yeah!

Maddie and I headed up to the Mountains on the 5th to 9th. It was a really good time. I am glad I brought my Camera. I really have a tough time taking pictures of her because she just won;t stay still. This time I think the camera really found her! Enjoy!!

Inspired

Jessica Claire has to be one of the most amazing photographers! She inspires me so much. I love her technique and how she captures each moment. Check out her blog here. The last two slide shows had me in tears they were so good!

Enjoy!

Ugggh!

Well I have come to conclusion again that I HATE SUMMER! I know that is just a horrible thing to say but I cannot stand hot, humid weather. I am staying at my parents for the day mooching up all of their nice cool central air and of course the pool amenities! Here is a picture I took recently of Maddie that I love. Needs a little help but here it is anyway! Enjoy! Atleast she loves this warm weather!!

Happy Monday

Hope you all are having a fabulous Monday. Weather is yucky, raining off and on but I could use a day like this to play catch up around the house. Here are some picks I recently took of Maddie with the SLR. Thanks to my Wonderful Sister for Editing!!
