    I have been thinking about a puppy school for Fenway just have to get Rick on board.

    As for baby number 2 we are in discussion mode...I would like to drop some more weight so that I am healthy when we do get PG with baby #2 - I have suggested early next year we start trying.  We will have to take the drugs again so at least we are prepped for that.  

     Summer plans don't include much, its my busy time of year so I work a TON.  We plan on hitting at least one Sox game but that is about it.

    I have started thinking about it and we are going to go with a Yo Gabba Gabba theme this year - he just LOVES that show and I have found some really cute things online.  This year we will take it down a notch or two invite wise, having 40+ people at his 1st made it really hard for Rick and I to enjoy it.  We will keep it to family and 1 or 2 friends.  

    Here is what I would like is cake to look like

    What do you love most about Rick? The fact that out of all the girls he could have chose he picked me...He gave us a chance even though I was older, had been divorced, and was an emotional WRECK when we met.  I love him for loving me the way he does and for the simple fact that he is a great father and husband.

  • How did you decide on a Boston Terrier?

     

    How do Josh and Fenway interact? 

    Married, At Last 09.20.08
  • imagecrystal1026:

    How did you decide on a Boston Terrier?
    Rick has ALWAYS wanted one - his college roommates sister had one and he LOVED to play with Oscar when she would come visit so when he found out that Oscar was the dad to Fenway he just had to have her or one of the other pups.  

    How do Josh and Fenway interact? 
    They are like two peas in a pod - they chase each other around and when Josh gets up in the morning the first thing he does is yell for "YayYay"

    What is you favorite way to spend time out of the house with just Rick? Since there isn't much to do around us we like to hop on the train and go catch a game in Boston...be it the Sox or the Celtics..

    Are there any movies out that you would like to see? I want to see the new Harry Potter movie but I think its now out of the cinema so its time to wait till it comes out on DVD :(

    Have you read any good books lately? I just finished the latest Nicholas Sparks book "Safe Haven" and it was really good and on the Train down and back to Boston for our Celtics game I read and finished Emily Griffin's "Heart of the Matter" and really liked it.

    What do you think it is about the ladies on this board that make us all keep coming back? We have been there for some of the best and worst moments of each others lives since we all got married...Its weird but in a way I think you ladies might know more about me than some of my RL friends. 

     

    For you:

    What has been your favorite part of Josh being 1 yr old? All of the new things he has learned...He is running cirlces around the house every day and is talking up a storm...He has a new word or phrase every time I turn around.  he is at a great age right now.
    What is your favorite thing about your job? I love that I get to plan events...All of my events are SO much fun to plan and I love seeing the finished product. Least fav? Having to cancel an event...I have been at this job for almost 4 years now and have NEVER had to cancel anything until this past December...I had to cancel our bridal show due to lack of vendors...Now of course all the vendors are mad that we don't have a show...Ugh people!

    What is your favorite month of the year and why? I'm pretty fond of May these days since it is the month that I was given the best gift in the world (Josh).  If I had to pick something that wasn't related to Josh it would be September - i LOVE Maine in September...You can smell Fall in the air but it still warm enough to run around in flip flops and shorts.

    Do you clip coupons? I want to but we just get crap up here for coupons in the paper and we also don't get the Sunday paper at home. 

    What do you order from your fav restaurant? Normally haddock and sweet tater fries - boring I know :)

    HP7 is still in one of our three theaters, so you may still have it too. I imagine it has stuck around longer because it was such a big deal. I saw it in early December and loved it!

    I have Safe Haven on my bookshelf. I have a ton of books on there to read (thanks to library book sales!) but hope to get to that one soon. I'm glad to hear it was good!

  • imagecherrys:

    What has been your most trying time so far as a parent? I would say the most trying thing so far has been nothing to do with Josh but everything to do with Rick...Getting him to help with Josh on the not so fun things (diapers, tubs, getting dressed, feeding) has been a struggle.  Don't get me wrong he is a great dad and I would never change it for the world but a little more help would be great. 

    Is there any advice you can give me so far on raising a boy? First off, enjoy every minute of it - they grow WAY to fast.  I am not ready for Josh to be 2 and it will be here before I know it.  Pick your battles, there are some things that just don't matter.  I am finding now that Josh likes to throw tantrums and I would before try and get him to calm down and talk to him but that made it worse...If I ignore the tantrum he doesn't think its any fun and stops on his own.  The big thing that I was told was make them eat what you are eating (when the time comes obviously) be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner.  it avoids all kinds of extra cooking and then they don't know any different when they are older.  My MIL used to cook 3 different dinners at home because one son like 1 thing and DH liked something else and then her and FIL would eat something else...Sorry my kitchen in not a restaurant, if you don't like what I am making have some cereal.  So far the "you are eating what I eat" method has worked GREAT!  

    Who shovels the snow at your house? For the most part Rick does, if I get home and it needs to be done to get in the driveway or whatever I do it but for the most part its him. 

    What does Josh think of the snow? He likes it but for only short periods of time

    What nicknames do you have for Josh? when he was first born we called him la Grenouille (the frog in french) because he was always scrunched up like a frog.  Now we call him Joshy or Tooters (yes my kid likes to fart). 

    If you could, would you be a SAHM? I would LOVE to be a SAHM but I think I would end up wanting to work at least part time just for the adult interaction.  I loved being home with him on Mat. Leave but by the end of my 12 weeks I was READY for office life again.

    If you could look back now to our pre-wedding days when we were caught up in wedding planning, what is one word of advice you would give to us about marriage?I think I would tell us all to stop and "smell the roses" I don't know about everyone else but I spent so much time being the "host" that I didn't really get to "enjoy" the night...
