Hidden Blessings

A couple nights ago josh and I endulged in a late night bowl of cereal and I noticed that the milk wasn't cold. Blah! On our way to bed Josh noticed that the fridge hadn't stoped running all night. Yep, it finnally happened our refridgerator that the previous owner left us in his garage cooled it's last.

I spent the next morning looking for dry ice (which I found out that the grocery stores in NJ don't carry) to buy me some time. I spent the reast of my day craig's listing, calling around etc... I was able to find a scratch and dent beautiful fridge for $300. AHHHhhhhh! I found this great appliance sotre right on the shore. On a clear day you can see the NYC sky line. There was a steam boat museum and a board walk right next to the store. So the boys and I had a good time going to this place. So, check it out our new (to us) fridge. I have posted pictures for your viewing pleasures......

Although it stinks that we had to buy a new fridge, I'm really happy that our old one broke.

It's nice to have cold milk again.

Boise Trip July 2008

I've been meaning to post. These are some pages that I just finnished from out trip out to Boise ID this past summer. As you can see we had a great time. There were a couple of first in there: Zachary's 1st b-day and Adam's first river raft trip and 1st movie in a theater.

Adam is potty trained!!!!!! Oh, the battles that have been faught over this. We finnally have success. I owe our triumph to 3DayPottyTraining.com The author of this e-book has the magical formula to potty train any child.

Edward Cullen's Hair vs. Adam Engstrom

Adam woke up with the greatest hair ever and it reminded me of Edward Cullen's hair. When I put the pictures next to each other I was surprised by the similarities.

Ferry Ride

We went on a ferry ride to Ellis and Liberty Islands and that would have been enough for Adam but then we got off... Major melt downs. You can tell by the pictures that we had a good time. Ha ha. No, we really did have a good time it was just very dramatic.

Halloween!!!

If you can't tell Zachary is a spider and Adam is Spiderman. We got some friends to come over and go with us. The older boys had a great time running form house to house with each other and inbetween houses throwing webs. Zachary loved the candy!

Adam was all spiderman out. He was so stoked that he got to ware his costume to school. He come home with a huge bag of goodies and lots of stories to tell me. I love pre-school. I sometimes think that we should have put him in for three days a week instead of two.
