Going To OKC To Siti !!

April 17-April 21 2013

Daddy went to his annual golf Woo Woo trip in Naples, FL and he sent us to see Siti and Uncle Rhoni. We had the best time. We celebrated your 5th birthday at Siti's.  She got you a yummy cake,  and all those pictures got erased because my phone completely died.  But you can see the Power Rangers sword and gun Siti got you -  you never put it down!  Uncle Rhoni went overboard and got you a ton of toys as well.  We went to the trampoline place and you and Bailey had a blast.  John  Henry jumped too and he was laughing, playing and loving being with you and Bailey.  

Hudson,  Uncle Rhoni took you and Bailey to the amusement park, Frontier City.  You had an absolute blast and I don't think you will ever forget that day.   You and Bailey rode almost every ride and Uncle Rhoni was right there with you.  I mean you rode the big, scary rides!  You all also went to this cowboy gun show and you thought that was way cool.  Uncle Rhoni got you this toy pistol after the show, and you also thought that was way cool.   This is the same amusement park I went to growing up.  What a special day for you!  I was so happy you had such a fun day and made such wonderful memories.

What a wonderful trip to my home, Oklahoma City. We love you Siti, Uncle Rhoni and Bailey!

John Henry's Miglee 2012

John Henry,

Siti, had a miglee for you. She also had one for Hudson when he was born. A miglee is a Middle Eastern tradition and it is a tea made with cinammon, ginger and aniseed to welcome a baby into the world. Aunt Emily made it and it was delicious! It was special for Siti to have this beautiful welcoming for our baby and her newest grandson!

Christmas in OKC 2012!

Hudson Brings Me Flowers...

October 2012

Hudson,

We have pretty wild flowers that grow in our front yard here in Old Greenwich. You often go outside and pick me flowers. It's the sweetest thing!!!! You just make my day! You have always picked up flowers and given then to me. It's just precious and I love it! You get that it's a sweet gesture to do for a girl and I love it! But, you get most things- wise beyond your years. I remember when I got out of the hospital after having John Henry, you and Siti had picked a lot of flowers from the front yard and you had them ready for me. I love you Hudson! You are so good to your mamma and I hope to always get flowers from you!

Thank you amore, Mamma

(Below 6-4-12)  We were at Siti's house for my birthday this year.  We were in transit moving from Dallas to the Northeast.  You and Siti went and bought me these beautiful sunflowers.  Brightened my day!!  xoxo

Moving - In Transit - Visit to Oklahoma City

June 1- June 6 2012

After our visit to Shreveport, we went to see Mamma's family in Oklahoma City.  We had a nice, long stay and got to spend quality time with my family.  We had so much fun!  You and Bailey played and played.  You get along so well and you all really love one another.  It is so sweet!  You all can grow up together and watch out for one another.  Your cousin Bailey has the sweetest, most kind disposition.     You got to sleep with Siti every night and you love that because you all stay up late and watch TV.  We went to an arcade place one day and you and Bailey played all the games and split lots of the tickets.  She had an easier time sharing the tickets than you my love.  Sharing is something you are still working on, but you are getting much better.  Tip: always share with girls.  In fact, give them what they want.  Girls are flowers and deserve to be treated as such.  

We also took you all to White Water Park and it was a blast.  You rode the big slides this time, not the kid ones.  Mamma rode many with you which was a bit crazy 8 months pregnant!   You had a blast and so did Bailey.  We also went to Uncle Rhoni's one night and watched the Oklahoma City Thunder game.  You and Bailey had an egg hunt and we put chocolate and money in the eggs.  It was a great trip to OKC.  Uncle Rhoni got me a birthday cake and I blew out the candles.  Yes, my birthday passed right through this move.  You and Siti woke up early on my birthday morning and got me yellow sunflowers and a cake.  It was so sweet and made my morning  I am very sad that we are moving far away from my family, but they will always come visit us and we will always go visit them.  Your Sisi is very sad that we are moving far too.  She loves you so much and this move has been emotional for her.  You never know, we may all be living closer together one day.
