Kastendike Family Blog: Where Did I Leave Off?

Mother F--I've started this post like 4 times and I've gotten interrupted--now "your a mom of two" you say-Yes I know, interruptions happen but this isn't the problem. Each time I sit down to create a post I type a little and walk away. FINE! I get it! I won't have another minute of peace and quiet for the rest of my life! BUT, what I would like is for technology to work the way it is supposed to. This blog has a supposed "AUTOSAVE" feature that helps NOT to lose your post along the way. Well, here comes the 4 times...I have started, typed and walked away with a supposed SAVED blog only to come back to add some witty repartee and find that my screen is blank. So for all of those readers out there who think I am just a crappy, lazy blogger please know that I am NOT a lazy blogger just a pissed off at technology blogger! I've decided not to continue my saga but just to update you on the recent and I will get back to the first 4 weeks later!

Here are my boys and the first official Sunday of football season. We made a great family effort of supporting our teams! Amy swears that I have a penis because I LOVE sports. All my men were VERY cute in their jerseys and tees! Next Sunday we'll get a family pic!

Here is Samuel just as he has learned to say Cheese. I grab the camera to get pics of Charlie and find myself snapping pics of Sam. They are both too cute for words. He is fricken adorable. This is one of a million that I took. Sam can say cheese but he doesn't get the concept that he is supposed to look at the camera and say it. So I have a ton of pics of the side of his head.

This is our new couch. It is the bomb. Wow--I just dated myself--hello product of the 90's. This couch is awesome. The piece on the end is called a cuddler. SOOOO much better then the chaise. I love it and it is a good thing because I have been sleeping on it for the last week with Charlie. He apparently loves it too. Greg got me off the couch this morning and put me to bed. The first thought in my mind was how weird it was to sleep laying down?!

Greg, Sam and George at Meghan and Ray's wedding (Sept 5th). George walked Meghan down the aisle. It was absolutely gorgeous. If I ever get more time I will post pics of the wedding and the sunset...it was beautiful!

Poppi and Sam

Hello Hooters--I mean Mommy!

Umm--totally inappropriate and off the topic of Meghan's wedding but these things are huge and ridiculous. When my mom was here I went shopping for a nursing bra--38 G is not even a normal size.

This is the mini cake and cupcakes that Amy and I created for Meghan and Ray's wedding cake. They were a smashing hit!

Sam is totally addicted to trucks. Greg made the HUGE mistake of showing him a truck video on YouTube one morning and now he says trucks, no kidding, like a hundred times to get you to show him the truck video. This kid is relentless. I have no idea why God made children so persistent?! Does anyone have an answer for that? Or is it just a man thing? Are they just programmed to keep asking for what they want? Oh and the songs that accompany these fantastic 3 min movies are so GD annoying and they stick in your head...I wake up in the middle of the night singing them!

Daddy and Sam at Quiet Waters Park--Sunday, September 6, 2009. Sam is officially 2 years old. We invited family and friends to come celebrate with us. All of the Margolis', Grammi/Gigi, V, Vince, Dad, Colleen and Jessica--even their dogs came! Mom, Jeannie and Bob came from Soloman's and George and Suzzanne made the trip from Chestertown. We missed the Boyer clan. Some of them were supposed to come but were no shows :( Andrea and Dan's whole family had strep so we missed seeing them, new babe and Maddy.

Sam LOVED opening gifts--he really didn't understand what it was for but he certainly loved to rip that paper off! He got lots of noisy, loud, messy and great gifts from everyone :) Wow--I can't wait till he goes to your houses! He's coming with finger paint and play doh!

My dad wondered if the truck was a good present?! Um, did I mention that he repeatedly screams the word TRUCK. If you ever go anywhere with him in the car it's "Ohhhhhhhhh, TRRRRUUUUUCKKKKKK!"
