Time Flies......


I know that it sounds really cliche but time flies...... If you aren't careful it will pass before you without you even realizing it! Time sure has flown by during Paul's school vacation. Today was his last day off before we all begin the rigorous schedule of Paul....lol....He works full time, goes to graduate school full time and has 16 hours of clinicals to go to. It isn't anything that I like.....LOL.... I have a difficult time taking care of everything at home by myself....but I seem to do it! LOL. We have had such a wonderful time in the last month or so that it is really sad to see it end. I am hoping that my commitment to Project 365 will help him see the day to day things that he misses while he is gone.

Congratulations Nolan and Trisha


Whenever I attend a wedding I am reminded of how important the vows of marriage are..... It is nice to be reminded of what I so often take for granted..... Today, Paul and I attended my brother, Nolan's wedding to his bride, Trisha. For day 2 of my Project 365, I have chosen a photo that I took of them at their wedding.... Congratulations to Nolan and Trisha, may your marriage be full of love and happiness!!!

Project 365


Today I started my 1st of my 365 day commitment to chronicle my family through photos and some days journaling using My Memories Suite program to help me..... I have always wanted start this....2011 is going to be the year that I do it.


Today is January 1, 2011 (1/1/11).....it was a very relaxing day at home....we didn't go anywhere.....the children stayed in their jammies for most of the day and I was dressed in a comfy fleece with my hair up....not really worried about how I look....more concerned about comfort today!!! Today was a work day for Paul....but to our surprise and excitement he was called a 5:00am and asked if he wanted to use his vacation time to have the day off because they were overstaffed......We jumped at the chance to have 1 more day together with any outside obligation before he goes back to school full time and work full time and our crazy life starts up again.....It was a nice relaxing day..... Part of Project 365 is that you need to take at least one photograph a day and scrap it in some way..... I decided that January 1st should be a family photo...and since I had no intention of making us look great my having coordinating outfits or nicely combed hair, we all piled on the couch and I took the picture with my outstretched arm. So, here's to Project 365 and 2011!

Reflections on 2010......


I sit in a very quiet home right now with all my children sleeping and my husband trying not to fall asleep........it is very peaceful....it is nice!!!! As I sit here I am reflecting on the last 365 days.....we have had many, many changes this year.....we bought a new home, moved and didn't sell our 1st home for over 6 months, Jacob graduated from developmental preschool, Jacob started kindergarten, Maxwell started preschool, Carter turned 1, bought Paul got his first riding lawnmower, and many more amazing things. We learned a lot this year....we grew a lot this year! While there we times this year that were super tough to get through, we did it and looking back on it, we are stronger than ever.....And that is a good thing! We are excited about 2011 and what we have to look forward to....more changes and more fun!!!! See you in 2011......

Mixed Reviews on Meeting with Santa Claus




We have had a very busy month!!!! In less than a week Christmas will be here! WOW! The boys are so excited!!!! Last week Carter, Max and I went to the mall to pick up a few last minute things and decided to swing by to see if we could meet Santa....there wasn't a line....we were very excited!!!! We walked right up......Max started chatting right away, it was pretty cute. I put Carter in Santa's lap and took a few steps back to snap a photo....it wasn't good!!! Carter was not happy to be sitting in the lap of Santa!!!! I did catch it on film! LOL.....Max had a great time!

A Crazy Week!!!!



It has been a crazy week in the Creedon home..... Jacob had his Endoscopy/Colonoscopy and Given's Capsule Study at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston this week. The Given's Capsule Study is a 9 hour test where a camera capsule is placed in his body and takes a photo every 2 seconds inside his body. Since we live so far away from Boston, we had to stay there for the entire day. The hospital was nice enough to give us tickets to the New England Aquarium. We had a great time. Jacob was such a good sport. We walked from the hospital all the way to the Aquarium......just a couple of hours after he had his colonoscopy and endoscopy....he is such a trooper!
