Checking in.....

As some have noticed, I haven't exactly been keeping up as I should with the blog. I do appreciate the calls, texts and emails to check on us. Sometimes in life, you just need to take a "time out". Please rest assured that all is OK, and I will be back to updating shortly. The babies are growing at a rapid pace and I cannot wait to post many new pictures. Love to all. ; )

New Feature

Just an FYI for those of you who have always wanted to leave a comment (wink wink), but did not have a user name and password, nor did you want to create one. I have made it so anyone who pleases, can now leave a comment. Just go to the comments section at the bottom of any entry.

I would love to hear from those who read my random ramblings. I always enjoy reading the comments, suggestions, advice, or just say hi and let me know you were here...I know your out there, my little Site-Meter tells me so.

Bad Blogger.

I am ashamed at my lack of blog posts as of late. I'd like to be able to present you with some glorious reason as to why my blog posts have all but dwindled away, but there's really no good excuse other than I've been busy. I've been at home, at work, at home, back at work, home, work, and then home again. B-O-R-I-N-G.

However, there is some excitement on the horizon. Jeff and Brian will be hanging the flat screen on the wall this weekend as well mounting of all the speakers. I have anxiety just thinking about the two of them cutting and drilling holes into the dry wall. I think I will make myself scarce for this event.

I have also been planning Aiden's birthday festivities that are occurring in 22 days! UGH...I'm not ready for a toddler. Not because of the work, but because I am still in denial that he is growing up. Still working on this.

Oh and we found Aiden's Halloween costume and taught him how to make the noise that needed to accompany it. Just wait for it.

So, see, there's lots that I can post about, I'm just too darn lazy to post about it right now. I mean, busy.

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend and I promise next week will be more exciting.

Tylenol Recall

I know a lot of mommies (and daddies) of small children read the blog from time to time (thank you), so I felt like I should just post this as an FYI. Thankfully, I have just recently started buying Target Brand, since it is half the price. Guess bargain shopping paid off twice this time!


NEW YORK – Johnson & Johnson's McNeil unit is voluntarily recalling 57 lots of infants' and children's liquid Tylenol products because of possible bacterial contamination.

The products being recalled were made between April and June and include nearly two dozen varieties, including Children's Tylenol Suspension 4 oz. Grape, Infants' Tylenol Grape Suspension Drops 1/4 oz. and Children's Tylenol Plus Cold/Allergy 4 oz. Bubble Gum.

Johnson & Johnson said late Thursday it has contacted wholesalers and retailers about the recall. An inactive ingredient didn't meet internal testing requirements, the company said, and B. cepacia bacteria were detected in a portion of raw material that went unused in the finished product.

The company said in a letter that no bacteria were found in the finished product, and that the likelihood of a serious medical event is remote. But it said it decided after consulting with the Food and Drug Administration that it would recall the products.

"It was decided, as a precaution, to recall all product that utilized any of the raw material manufactured at the same time as the raw material that tested positive for the bacteria," the company said.

Consumers with questions should call McNeil's consumer call center at 1-800-962-5357.

Lot numbers can be found on the bottom of the product's box and on the sticker that surrounds the product's bottle.

A full list of the recalled products and lot numbers is available to Tylenol's web site: http://www.tylenol.com

So, here it goes.......

Ok, so I figured this would be a good way for Jeff and I to give friends and family members updates on what is going on in our day to day life. We are at a very exciting time in our life for many reasons (just got married, starting own business and a BABY on the way) and we want to share our experiences with the ones that mean the most to us. I will be the one posting all the time, Jeff is just an innocent bystander in all of this : ) Please note I am a total beginner at this and hopefully I will get better at this as the days go by. I have to thank my dear friend Katie for suggesting this to me and David with his adorable blog as my inspiration. So, again here it goes........
