It's my birthday! The big 3-0. Tonight's plan is take kids trick-or-treating and then out to dinner. This year little Mike will be dressed as a devil (he's a handsome little devil already) and Claire will be the cutest pink bunny ever.

DMV was open late last night so once Mike got in, we went to there to get my license. Now all we have to do is add me to his insurance.

I got one! Well... not an actual license yet because my driving instructor didn't have time to wait for me to get my actual license but I passed the road test and it's noted on my permit. Yay me.

Time for me to put some stuff into my lj before it becomes obsolete. Well now, let's see... Claire is almost 5 months old now and she can roll over both ways (back to front and front to back) and can crawl too, although not very well. Mikey is two and he's a smart little boy. It's amazing to see how much he knows and how much he learns. He's ( Read more... )

Little Mike is officially two today. Unofficially I think he hit his terrible twos earlier than this day. Didn't do much of an official celebration since we couldn't get Mike's (aka. daddy's) family together for a party because of disputes between siblings. It was super nice that we had a great dinner and ice cream cake with my family though. ( Read more... )

July 8th: Went to take the written/knowledge test to obtain my NJ driver's permit. To pass I need to answer 40 out of 50 questions correctly. Sadly and embarassingly I did not pass. I failed but considering I honestly did not study the driver's manuel, it made sense that I would not pass ( Read more... )

I love my babies but they wear me out. It's not good to stay up late as I am doing while both kids are asleep but this is pretty much the only time I get to check e-mail and such. I can hardly wait till my mom comes over to stay the week and nights, she has been and definitely will be such a great help to me. My only fear is that both kids will ( Read more... )

It's the news you've all been waiting for... on Wednesday May 11th, 2005 I gave birth to Claire Elizabeth Ortega.

Lots going on and lots on my mind these couple of days. It all pertains to Woodbridge condo repairs and the baby being on it's way. Just seems like endless things to do before things are settled. All I can say is I can't wait till I've had the baby and have settled into Woodbridge, with most all repairs, replacements, and minor renovations done ( Read more... )

As much as I look forward to my son growing up big, tall, and healthy, he's growing up so fast. This morning at my mom's I said to him "Kiss, bye bye" and he did, without any resistance or whining or crying he gave me a kiss and started waving goodbye. He was just so ready to let me go on my way to work and enjoy his breakfast and his day at my ( Read more... )
