My Perfect 10

A Month In Photos

So I have been making LOTS of changes around here again! I just can't seem to make up my mind right now! lol But I think I am happy with the way things are now...which is a VERY good thing! I really liked the idea behind the three different blogs...to keep things separate but I really don't think anyone besides my daughter Amanda was reading them. (Thanks Panda, Love you!) Plus there was also the issue of me keeping up with them. I started out alright but started losing stream pretty quick. I did a little blog hopping and noticed... Read more →

Family Portraits

This is my little sister Stephanie with her family...her husband Mike and my adorable nephew Gavin and that is my second nephew due to arrive any time now! I am hoping he'll make his appearence on Febraury 10th, so he can share his favorite Aunt's birthday...that would be me! :) A few weeks ago Steph asked if I would help her take some family photos on the beach. She really wanted to get some shots of Gavin kissing her belly before "Baby Boy" arrived. When she was pregnant with Gavin my sister Jessica took a gorgeous photo of her belly... Read more →

A Special Treat

I never know what to expect when I am out with Rick...he always seems to be up to something sneaky. We always have fun though! This morning we had to run out of the house and we didn't have time to make our normal BIG breakfast for everyone. I suggested we just stop at Dunkin Donuts so the kids at least had a little something to eat and then we could do a nice lunch once we got home. Well things took a lot longer then we planned and before we knew it was just about 3:30! Way past breakfast... Read more →

Bender's Farmers Market

We also stopped by Bender's Farmers Market in west Boynton last weekend. We were hoping to pick strawberries with the kids so we could make fresh crepes. But with all this crazy cold weather they said the temps have not been warm enough for the strawberries. So there was only tomatoes, peppers, and sunflowers to pick. As you can see we now have LOTS of tomatoes! Good thing Rick can also make fresh salsa which all the kids like. I think we'll be eating tomatoes with every meal for the next week. That's ok we all had a great day!... Read more →

Gumbo Limbo Nature Center

Saturday afternoon after we enjoyed my famous French Toast breakfast we took all the kids to Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton. Here is a sample of the photos I took during our trip there. I think the kids all had a great time. It was a beautiful day! The sun was shining, the temperature was nice and cool, perfect for walking around and enjoying just being together out doors. I really love this time of year! I am pretty sure Rick and I enjoy these outings more than the kids do but they seemed to enjoy this park... Read more →

Nothing The ER Can't Fix

I really cannot complain the past year as been incredible as far as my Gastroparesis is concerned. I have been eating more of a normal diet...maybe not as much as I should be but definitely more types of food then I have eaten in the past three years. I have put on some weight, gotten some color in my face again, most people would not even know anything was wrong. Until last week that is... I am not sure what brought it on this time but those same old familiar pains were back and then came the nausea. By Tuesday... Read more →

Family...

We spent another amazing weekend out and about town...it was way too nice to stay inside! Saturday afternoon we spent at Gumbo Limbo Nature Center in Boca Raton and Sunday we went to Bender's Farmers Market in west Boynton. We got a ton of fresh veggies and fruit...Oh and lots of photos to come! Until then here are some family shots we had fun with at Gumbo Limbo and a fun new program I found thanks to a blogging friend at A Swoop And A Dart. The mosaic program can be found here. Kind of our own little "Brady Bunch"!... Read more →

6 Months And Counting

December 28th was our sixth month anniversary! Now anyone who follows my blog knows I have been making Rick a card each month to celebrate these little milestones. I know it might seems silly or childish to some but I think it all really started because neither of us thought we would be here...in a serious relationship and now that we are here well we just want to make it work and enjoy every minute! Since six months is kind of a BIG deal I wanted to do something special with this card. If you look at my 365 Photo... Read more →

Date Night

Even after being on call from Friday morning until Monday night (something crazy like 84 hours on call) Rick still has time for the little things like a date night! I tell you...he's perfect! We all had dinner together...another new recipe I tried out from Picky Palate. Nothing too fancy just a quick and easier to put together version of lasagna. Then we were on our way to see Season of the Witch with Nicolas Cage. The movie was good despite the not so great reviews I have seen but then I like these period type movies and anything on...

Surprise...

Rick never fails to surprise me. I always try to meet him outside when he gets home from work. Just to let him know he was missed and that I appreciate all he does for us. But most of the time I get the surprise! Like tonight when he climbed out of the truck with these flowers...not for any other reason then he wanted to. And they are purple! lol So pretty! Read more →
