Fall Holidayz and Big Brother

Well, if you checked the first blog, you'd know that Alexander is going to be a big brother! You can visit his baby sister or brother's blog by clicking here. Alexander has transitioned into a FULL BLOWN toddler. He's super smart, and funny, and crazy, and sweet, and loving, and silly, and has the cutest patootie EVER!



To see all of Alexander's latest pics of Halloween and Thanksgiving, you can see them here at dermondiaz.shutterfly.com.

So, Halloween was a BLAST! It was a week long event in our house. On Saturday before Halloween, we had to pick out our pumpkins at the local pumpkin patch. After a hay ride from the parking lot, Alexander got to run a muck in the pumpkins and even made a new friend. Then we had our annual pumpkin carving party on the Sunday before Halloween. We had friends and lots of family. I made swamp juice (mmmm....) and devilish eggs. There were LOTS of pumpkins carved. Alexander got to carve his first pumpkin with Manny! Alexander LOVED his "ManTevStein's Monster" costume and brought it to me everyday to put it on. He wore it around the house and outside until it got too hot. FINALLY, Halloween came. That day was a little less eventful, but we went trick or treating in our complex and had a great day together.

From Halloween to Thanksgiving! I toned Thanksgiving down significantly this year and we had a fun and relaxing day. We had a small family brunch and dinner at 3:00. Alexander hung with the boys (Manny and Karen's boyfriend, Jules) after dinner...it was cute. That was pretty much it for the day...hallelujah!

So, sometime in there, Manny and I made another baby! Yay! Alexander is very excited, he just doesn't know yet.

The short sale on our house is almost approved. I expect to get word now in the new year. Then we'll have 30 days to find a new place. Things are going well with Manny at work. I'm back to school in January and still working for our homeowner's association. Things are pretty routine, thank goodness, cause Alexander keeps me on my toes!

I am sure you have noticed, but I have added Google AdSense to my blogs, so the more you click, the more I may get paid. We'll find out in a couple of months if it pays off, but feel free to click away as often as you would like! Thanks!
