A Place To Call Home

By
After 3 long months we finally have a permanent home!
For anyone that knows me well you know that I am a home body.
No where else I rather be.
I don't even like staying in hotels for more than a couple days.









I am so HAPPY!
Not only do I have a home, but it is on the Palm Jumeirah! Ahhh!
I remember so many years ago hearing about, and seeing pictures of an island shaped like a palm that was to be built in a city called "Dubai".
Talk about surreal.

Goodbye hotel!



Woke up this first morning and walked out to this.
Yes, that is my back porch!
Made me smile even though I was blinded by sunlight at 6am since we did not have all our curtains up yet.

  Here is my handy hubby getting curtains up.
While we were busy organizing big brother Ethan made Amalia a tent.

This picture is where my heart is.  This is how I will forever remember the night we moved in.
Now that we have moved to the palm we have gotten fancy.  Breakfast is served!
 As you can see We haven't gotten a dining table yet.
After breakfast Ethan says, :Mummy, remember Mr. Potato head?"
Me, "Yes."
Ethan, "Well here's Mr. Bacon head!"
Wow! Really Ethan? He is always coming up with something new.

 When John came home from work for the 1st time we had to check out our new back yard!
This is our building.
 The view of the beach.  You can see the Burj Al Arab from here, better known as "The Sailboat Building".
 Two side by side pools.
I have such a water baby! She kept splashing like crazy in the ocean.  Then a dip in the pool.  When we got her home I bathed her and she slept deeper than ever before!
I think we should do this every night!
I know this will embarass John (sorry), but look how great he looks! So happy he's mine. =)




Now that I have tv and internet I am really getting comfortable here.  
All I keep thinking is "I'm so happy".
I have everything.  Perfect husband, perfect kids, perfect home.
What I really need now is friends! I am working on that!

And since I know no one will get tired of this face...

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried.

And the Fun Begins

By
On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...

Beautiful Baby Shower

By
This past weekend was our baby shower!!  We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types.  It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us.  This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy!  The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy).  Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all).  Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
