We finally got new carpeting installed on our stairways! I am so excited, because the old carpeting (which by the way was here when we moved in) was so stained from the previous owners and torn up. Now we ahve frsh, beautiful new carpet that is a lighter color and hopefully won't attract as much cat hair. We went with a lighter shade of berber carpeting with different shades of brown flcks in it. Love it! Here are some new pics of our successful finished product!

Ocean City Round Two!

Monday and Tuesday of this week, we ventured down to Ocean City for Round Two of our beach vacations. This time we travelled with my parents and brother Brandon. We just spent one night and two days there, but we had a blast! We spent our first evening strolling on the boardwalk with my Mom and Brandon and playing in various arcades. We also walked around the carnival and Alex even got to go on one little ride with Mommy. He liked it, but held my hand pretty tight the entire time! We had Dough Roller pizza for dinner and made soem stops at soem of the many boardwalk shops. That night, after the kiddies were sound asleep, my parents and brother came over to our room and we hung out and had some drinks on the balcony together. The next day we headed to an amazing breakfast at the Sahara Cafe and then headed to the beach all morning and afternoon. Alex was pretty brave this time around ran into the waves and out for a long, long time. Trust me--my back and shoulders are feeling all the fun in the sun! That evening, my Mom took us to dinner at Phillips' Resturant. Then we headed back to Bmore! What a fun coupleof days! It was awesome spending time with my family, and we want to thank my Mom for booking and paying for our room. We had so much fun!

He enjoyed the ride more than his face shows here!

Masters It Is!

I'll make this one brief since I had a backlog of info and added a bazillion posts today, but we wanted to annouce that Abe and I are BOTH offically accepted into our Masters Degree programs! Yay!I am getting a Masters from Towson U. in Special Education and I hope to work with special needs children in schools and maybe even at Kennedy Krieger one day. I'd like to get a certificate in Autistic studies along with my Masters, so I can work with children and families affected by Autism. Abe is getting his Masters in Cyber Security from UMUC. He hopes to eventually work in this field for Lockheed Martin, Homeland Security or the NSA one day. I should grduate in May 2014 and he will be finished by 2012 or 2013 at the latest. We're bothing excited and dreading this ardous task, but we know it will pay off in the long run!
Standing on her own two feet...

So our tiny little peanut never ceases to amaze us. She was barely 5 lbs, when she was born, yet she's managed to do everything earlier than her big brother did. Now she is pulling herself up to stand. I even witnessed her let go and stand comepletely by herself for a split second this morning! She has these tiny little legs, and its amazing to see her standing on them. Our little girl is growing up so fast! 8 months old now and growing everyday. Right after we had her, and I went through the pre-term labor scares, bed rest and the fear of her being early and the issues with feding that kept her in the hospital longer, I thought that's it, no more babies! I can't handle this again. But now that I see her growing up so nicely, the thought is still floating around in the back of our heads--maybe just one more in a couple of years? lol. Go Amaya! We love you so much little cutie!
