Trip to Omaha

Last weekend, Dec 9-11, my mom and I went to Nebraska to be a part of a beautiful weekend. My cousin Matt and his wife, Tina had their marriage blessed in the Catholic Church, and their two precious children, Sam & Paige, baptized. Sam also received his first communion! Matt & Tina asked me to be the Godmother of Sam, and I was and forever will be honored with that title! It was SUCH a blessed weekend. We arrived on Friday afternoon, and my sister picked us up. Man, it was good to see her...I miss her! Had a great time with my mom and sister...it hasn't been just the three of us for a day of shopping and reminiscing in YEARS!

Friday night, we were asked to be a part of a dinner for Matt's Grandmother, Grandma Amelia Stockfeld. She celebrated her 103rd birthday. She looks REMARKABLE for 103! AMAZING!  Saturday and Sunday were the Wedding and Baptism Events. We left on Sunday afternoon and flew home to Florida. It was a great trip, that I was so grateful to be a part of. But, I was happy to get home to my husband and my little ones.

Matt & Tina say I Do...again! :)

Love these Stockfeld Kiddos!

Another 5K!

Well, I did it! I ran another 5K. This time, I marked my own personal best time and shaved 5 minutes off my last time in August. It was a great run, and I felt amazing afterward. What a RUSH! I ran with one of my dearest friends, Colleen. This was her first race, and she did AWESOME! Her daughter was born just 4.5 months ago, and Colleen was determined in this race, and ROCKED IT! I am so very proud of you, girl, and am grateful for you and our friendship! <3

November went by way too fast...

It is just unbelievable to me that it is December 5, already. Where did November go? Looking back at last month, we were always on the go. On November 5, we participated in the American Heart Walk, and walked in memory of Roger's Grandfather, who we lost to a stroke last year. We raised a large amount of money for this cause, and truly thank everyone who particiapted.

My wonderful friend/coworker, Carmen Doherty, outdid herself again with amazing family photos. What would we do without her? She has captured such beautiful moments of my family...I am eternally grateful!

We also found ourselves visiting Disney World this month. It is becoming our home away from home, I believe. The kids love it so much, and with it only an hour away, how can we resist?

My godfather and his wife, Kim came to visit. They were vacationing in Florida, and were able to stay with us a few nights. They are such wonderful people, and I am so blessed that my mom chose Mike as my godfather...he is amazing, and his wife is just as amazing as he is. I love them both, dearly.

Thanksgiving was a wonderful weekend as well. We had a beautiful dinner with my parents and Roger and I and the kids. We spent the weekend running errands and decorating for Christmas...and just being thankful for our wonderful family and friends.

On the last day of November, we received tickets from a friend to go to Sesame Street Live! The kids LOVED IT! They were dancing in their seats, and screaming for Big Bird and Elmo! Grandma & Grandpa Sivula joined us for this super fun night!

I have uploaded some photos from our November. Hope all is well with everyone and their November's were just as lovely.
