Where is all began

Sometimes you feel like a nut... No I've never felt like an Almond Joy, but I have felt like I live in an insane asylum. 

In 2005, Rob and I got married.  It was a fantastic day.  Life was good.  We were both working.  He was at Bloomberg and I was teaching music.  Then we decided it was time to kick life up a notch.  In May of 2007, Amelia was born.  She was amazing and perfect all at the same time.  Life was easy;  Amelia was an easy baby.  She didn't stop us from enjoying and living life.  We went on vacations and out to dinner.  She just was along for the ride.

We decided that it was time to spice things up and ... Kelly Anne burst onto the scene.  From the moment she was born she had twinkle in her eye.  Little did I know what that twinkle would turn out to be....  It was feisty-ness and assertiveness.  Kelly will take over the world one day.  She is a take-no-prisoner type person and I couldn't imagine her any other way.

Life was too easy and we decided it was time to just totally throw our sanity and freedom out the window when "The Boy" came.  Joshua was born February of 2013.  And since he was born, life has never been the same.  Our days of a casual meal out -- OVER.  Relaxing vacation -- OVER.  Things are different, and I knew they would be when he first escaped at 8 months.  Yeah, the handwriting was the on the walls, along with crayon and chalk..

And as if I didn't have enough insanity and chaos in my life, we got a dog. The girls and I wanted a dog, while Rob wasn't so onboard.  See, when you get married, life becomes a series of compromises.  This one?  We get a dog, if the dog can be named Daisy.  UGHHHHHH, so Daisy joined our family August of 2014.  And boy has that been an ... adventure.  Yeah, that's it.

Well, there you have it, the family. 

    Me,
          the Hubby,
                the three kids,
                         and the dog.

That's my party of five ... plus the dog.
