home again!

what's the best way to feel better? why, take a shopping trip to the states! nate enjoying the head phones for his in van movie

we planned to make stops every 2.5ish hours but nate had too much juice and we made a special stop just for him

heading for the big tree

hee hee. daddy helping. when he was done he asked if he could flush. sure buddy, flush away

arriving at the hotel, chris showing nate where his mother will be for the next 2 days

we had breaky every morning at panera's. super yummie. quinn was in time out. with a bagel

the view from my window

father and son much?

when i turned off our t.v. nate went next door to visit uncle shawn

the only time ever that nate SMILED while in a mall. i had to take a photo of this

a very pregnant sister and quinn checking the amazing view

aunty and quinn

quinn is trying to talk nate into making a run for it...

home, sweet, wonderful home

i needed a break from the seriousness of life and the constant reminder of what i don't have. i am blessed beyond all i could have ever imagined but the loss of my son, esp this month has been tough. it's tough to watch all these beautiful babies be born healthy and taken home. that is reality. i did not run from it. i welcomed every new baby. i wish nothing but the wonderful blessing of sleep on the new mom's. i walked through each and every day this month. i made it.

i needed a break

i took one!

chris, myself and nate joined forces with my sis, shawn and quinn and took off to the states to rest *cough* shop. and that i did. it was great!

i got some wicked scores! like

2 pairs of saucony sneeks for 80 bucks. for BOTH pairs!

nikey crop pants for 15!

clarks sneeks for 25!

a huge bag of kids clothes from the children's place for 40 bucks

and a cold...from quinn...with love. ha

nate picked up quinn's cold and passed it to me. nate is running a constant flow from his nose and like a 2 yr old, wiping it all over his face, hands, clothes, couch, floor. ewww. i must de bug this house!

and back to life we go....the break was good
