Team Success Makes Strides :-)

Team Success participated in the Making Strides Against breast Cancer walk on October 16th in Point Pleasant NJ. 17,000 people showed up!!! That's correct, 17,000!!! It was beautiful! A sea of pink, and so much love and happiness going around!! Breast cancer awareness month is October, and 17,000 people were definitely made aware at this walk.

I am proud to say that Team Success brought in $1,416!!! This is truly amazing and everyone should feel so proud of themselves for getting us here!! Our goal was $1,000and we surpassed that by over $400!!! Absolutely Amazing!!!

We were a slightly smaller walking group this time, however, those who could not be in person left such sweet messages on phone and online. Thank you everyone for your support in this cause.

TOGETHER, WE WILL BEAT CANCER!!



Here are a few pix from this amazing day :-)

Popcorn Zoo!

This zoo is seriously an awesome idea, and a wonderful place. The Popcorn Zoo is a Zoo created for abandoned animals and animals rescued. It is run by the Humane Society. You can feed the farm animals and birds popcorn. They also have animals like bears, jungle cats, reptiles and monkeys to see.
It was a beautiful Saturday in fall, but you would think it was July! It was a great day to go out. Miranda enjoyed herself, but so did mommy & daddy :-) It was a lot of fun watching her look at these animals. We tried to have her feed the animals, but she ate the popcorn herself! It's a great zoo for Miranda's age too b/c it's small and not to much walking - It's just her size :-)

When we first arrived, we tried to show Miranda how to feed the ducks...She grabbed our shirts and watched instead :-)














(The last two pictures serioulsy brought tears to my eyes b/c she was so happy to walk around with us! We held her too, but she wanted to walk!! Baby girl is growing up so fast!!) :-)

My Old BLOG!!

Yes, there was one before, but it was more an online bio....I was clearing away some old websites, and found this! It's been a while since I've seen it, but it's really cool b/c it shows all the before and afters of our 1st home, and more :-)

Diaper Cutie!!

Seriously, how cute are these denim diapers!?!?!? Plus, Miranda received these cute cowgirl boots as a birthday gift! Seriously? I can't even right now!

L'Shana Tova!!

This will be a good year!!!

It's Rosh Hashana, the start of the Jewish New year and that means, new & happy things to come this year! The year is already starting really well, and I pray it keeps going up! :-)

May everyone have a wonderful and sweet new year! L'Shana Tova!!

Miranda Starts School

And you know what? It's not that bad :-)

So on Monday morning, the family got ready - Mike and I got dressed for work, and our peanut, got dressed (with help from us) for school. We all went to her daycare together at 6:40am! Yes, you read that correctly, bright and early! It was tough for Miranda to be on her own and see us go, but according to her teacher, once we left, and she calmed down, she was OK. In fact, she played with the other kids, took two long naps, ate all her food, and basically enjoyed her day! :-) It's easier for us to leave knowing she's in a really good environment, and having a good time.
Mike and I really like this place a lot. The kids are always learning! They are learning sign language and this month they are learning the word 'Eat.' Even when they get snacks, the teacher counts with them to show how many cheerios they get! I know she'll be happy here, and hopefully get used to the morning departures. The best part of the day though was picking her and seeing her smile soooo big when she saw me! Then when we got home, the big smile on her face, and her open arms running for a hug for Mike! We played in her room for a while, ate dinner as a family, and then put her to sleep. Honestly, it was a WONDERFUL day :-)


Here are some pix of Miranda's "trial" day last week -

A. it was cold

and

B. Miranda was a smaller peanut then she is now!

She was such a little tiny baby, and HATED being outside! Haha :-) It's so funny to think the difference a year makes!
