Hospital Day
We got home kinda late but I made a fantastic Spinach Lasagna and we all enjoyed some. We are hunkering down - a big snow storm is on it's way!

Where's Alayna???
Sunday adventures
Then we made our way over to the Verizon Wireless Arena for Mickey and Minnie's Magical Adventure - Disney on Ice! We had fantastic seats in the second row. As all the characters skated by we could actually feel the wind.
Here are the 2 year old girls starting with Alayna the youngest, Annelina, and Eden the oldest.
My sister and Eden.
Alayna's favorite parts were those with Mickey and Minnie and Ariel.
It was a really fun show and we all loved it! Thanks to Anita for sharing these pictures with me. I forgot my camera in the car!

Happy Weekend!
Paul's appointment this week went really good. He gained 2 pounds and found out we may starting going every other week as of February. The doctor also told him he could eat take out pizza if he wanted. We haven't done that yet - Paul is still a little leary. He is especially so because it seems he is somewhat lactose intolerant now - he wasn't before. But he is doing good, keeping busy with his new favorite show - Dexter. We watched season 3 on Showtime but I had ordered the first 2 seasons for one of my Christmas gifts. Great show.
It has still been quite cold up here but we haven't had a snow storm in over a week! :P
My sister and I have been in talks planning Eden and Alayna's birthday parties. For those of you who made it to Alayna's 1st big shindig - this years is right up there! It will definately be a celebration for her turning 3 and for Paul being 1 year out from his transplant. So mark your calenders - 10/10/09!
I will be back tomorrow with info about our exciting day...

Shops like mine may become extinct...
Take this $45 outfit of mine for example...
Under the new law total cost including testing will be ... $2985.00 That's $70 per component for lead and $350 per component for phthalates.
$70 Shirt
$70 Jeans
$70 Polka dot fabric
$70 Swirl Fabric
$70 Ric Rac trim
$70 Grosgrain ribbon belt
$70 Thread
---------------------------
$350 Shirt
$350 Jeans
$350 Polka dot fabric
$350 Swirl Fabric
$350 Ric Rac trim
$350 Grosgrain ribbon belt
$350 Thread
And that is just for one outfit of mine! Obviously large corporations can afford to be compliant with this new law, I can not. So unless there are some amendments made, February 10th Alayna's Closet will be closed for business. Thereafter it would be illegal for me to sell my clothing. There is alot more info on this subject that affects everyone. If you would like to see many more links click on the bear.

I've been bad...
Today's memory...
As I sit in my room typing away... Alayna is awake in her room talking to herself. My sweet baby girl is counting to 10 and then clapping after she gets there. So adorable!

Almost Valentine's Day!
On Monday I took Alayna to the mall to try and get some Valentine's pictures taken. After our last outing and failed attempts at nice shots, I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of ones that turned out super cute. While we were waiting for them to print up - she took her weekly train ride. She is starting to get daring and go from the front seat to the back seat while it is moving.
And I am busy working on orders in Alayna's Closet for Valentine's. While I am still trying to put away Christmas stuff! :P

Bring it on!
It has been bitterly cold here. With the wind blowing we have been in negative numbers. Brrr.
I happened upon a gem of a song by one of my favorite groups. I can count on one hand how many concerts I have been to in my life - including The Wiggles! After I graduated high school and lived with my sister in Albuquerque for a short while, I had the chance to go and see KISS (with makeup). Loved it and had a fantastic time! This is one of my favorite songs from Ace Frehley... This is for our favorite family members in Long Island! :)
Enjoy.
