Two of the things I miss the most about my job: my coworkers, and portofino quesadillas from Home Style. Luckily today I got to enjoy both when I went out to lunch to Home Style with Allison, Shannon, Britta, and Amber!

Pretty wifey, with a dead Ryan in the background.

8/21/10

Twins! Yay retro game night!

Emma being Emma, looking so pretty in her Hello Kitty ballerina dress.

Ava in her super cool sunglasses.

8/18/10

Ava, Jossie and I went for a walk today (even though I'm the only one who actually walked).

8/17/10

Ava accidentally left her favorite polka dot blankie at her aunt's house in New Jersey, so she and mommy wrote a story about how she forgot it, then Aunt Michelle mailed it at the post office, then it went on an airplane and a mail truck, and ended up back at Ava's house!

8/16/10

First Sera slept on the kitty blankie...



then Bella slept on the kitty blankie...



then they decided it's better to share!

8/15/10

Emma liked her mac and cheese so much she licked her plate clean!

8/14/10

Skipper gots the fleasss!!

8/13/10

Happy Jossie with prunes all over her face.

8/12/10

Ginger being adorable. And chubby.

8/11/10

Bella sitting under the coffee table looking angry.

8/10/10

Don't let the smile fool you. She's teething and also having tummy problems, so she's basically a terror right now. Still freaking adorable though!

8/9/10

I'm catsitting these fuzzbutts while Chrissy and Brian are on vacation. Love me some Skipper Kitten and Ginger Kitten!

8/8/10

My ice cream sundae from Guptills. So yummy!!

So in the "rules" for the 365 day photo challenge, it says you're supposed to include a lot of pictures of yourself to see how you change throughout the year. However, I absolutely hate having my picture taken, so I've just been posting pictures of animals and small children instead (obvi). But today I gave in and decided to include one of boring old me...blegh.

8/6/10

HAPPY ALMOST BIRTHDAY EMMA! Can't believe she's gonna be 4! This is her playing with the present I got her: a purse with fake Blackberry, credit card, cash, and car keys, as well as the jewelry she's rocking in the pic. She loved it! I win! :)

8/5/10

Cutest thing ever? I think so.

8/4/10

Love this picture, because they're both smiling, which is somewhat rare haha.

8/3/10

This is the pretty picture that Ava drew for me on the driveway with sidewalk chalk.

8/2/10

Today was a rough day, including an incident involving my cats and the dogs across the hall which resulted in Sera getting super scared and confused and attacking me. Hard to believe that this sweetie in the picture could have a mean bone in his body, but when he feels threatened he claws whatever is in his reach. :( The incident also led to the picture below, which is Bella hiding in the cupboard all day...what a scaredy-cat. :P

8/1/10

This is Tikka (aka Tikka Malika, or Tikka Masala), the last, and most elusive, of Emma and Piper's cats. Piper put a pretty necklace on her to make her look glamorous...doesn't Tikka looked thrilled about it??? Haha.

7/31/10

Sleepy Bella taking a nap in Mama's lap.

7/30/10

Me and Avie blew bubbles in the backyard today. She's not quite perfected how to do it though lol.

7/29/10

Laser Ginger will destroy anything that stands between her and her mousies.

7/28/10

The couch ate Jossie!!!!! Haha she's trying to figure out how to crawl, but so far can only scoot herself backwards, and this is where she ended up!

7/27/10

Ava and Jossie. Such munchkins.

7/26/10

I missed my kittens this weekend when we were gone. How cute are they???

7/25/10

My new phone doesn't have the greatest camera, but this is Tang, my "niece" lol. I love this cat.

7/24/10

Me and my baby at Samurai Japanese Steakhouse in Huntington for my sister's birthday. Yummy!

7/23/10

Today was Berkshire's Staff Day at Allison's grandma's lake house, which I was allowed to attend even though I'm not staff anymore. This is Shannon's daughter Isabella, and Britta's puppy Kona. TOO MUCH CUTENESS!

7/22/10

This is Delilah, yet another of Emma and Piper's kitties. She's a sweetie and a lover. I could have taken a pic of the poop on the floor (Piper's), or the stupid dog after he was sprayed by a skunk, but I decided to keep it happy and cute with a pretty kitty instead. :)

7/21/10

Words can't express how much these boys mean to me, or how much I miss them. They were like my first children. They were the center of my world for almost 2 years; it was more than a job, they were my family. I can't believe that my Ibby is turning 3, or that I missed pretty much the whole last year of his life. I love you babies, and no matter how far away you are, you will always partly be MINE. :)

7/20/10

This is a heart that Shelley made me from her toe string. Don't ask.

7/19/10

I started babysitting for a new family today. This is Josslyn, 7 months, otherwise known as the sweetest, funniest baby in the world. Her sister Ava, 2 and a half, is also a cutie. Expect a lot of pictures of them in the future.

7/18/10

One of the best parts about babysitting Emma and Piper is that they have lots of kitties (and a doggie too!). This is Vinny aka Old Man (he's 15). He's sooo affectionate and looooves snuggling with me. Unfortunately, this was one of the only good parts of babysitting today. It was a very long, pee-soaked, cranky 9 hours.

7/17/10

I cleaned my room today. I probably should have done a "before" shot so you can appreciate the beauty of it, but just imagine this ^^^ covered in soda bottles, papers, and clothes to where you couldn't even see the floor. Yep, day well spent.

7/16/10

Not the best lighting, but Chrissy looking smexxy for her friends' rehearsal dinner. Don't you think, Brian? ;-)

7/15/10

More kitty pictures. This time it's Skipper taking care of some important computing business. Today was kind of rough. But some pool time with wifey and then TV time with her and Bri almost made it bearable. :)

7/14/10

Today was mostly spent cuddling with kittens...well, when they weren't hanging out in empty water cases or kitty fortresses.

7/13/10

Yeah, I'm not proud. But hey it was free and it wasn't completely terrible. Yay Sparkles!

7/12/10

Babysat tonight. These are the girls' silly faces. Love my babies!

7/11/10

Today was boring. I did laundry.
