The girls were having a blast playing outside today. This may be the last REALLY nice day for a while. They made nests in the pile of leaves. We played outside most of the day. ...Well, I did a lot of leaves and Fall clean up, but it was still a great day.

The whole family is feeling better, getting over these colds. Rebekah has the right anti-biotics now to get over her pneumonia. She is doing a TON better!

Marathon Season Complete

2010-10-21T11:52:00.003-04:00

Well, I've completed 2 marathons this year, Providence and Baystate. I enjoyed each of them thoroughly, but I am a little disappointed I was not able to make the cut for the Boston Marathon. Hopefully I'll be able to get a waiver to race Boston. If I HAD qualified, I might be in tears right now... Registration was over in 8 hours! Usually a couple of months to close up registration is fast, so I probably would NOT have registered on Monday. Crazy!

Next year will be all about 'fun runs', and taking a stab at winning the Grand Prix with my racing club the Colonial Road Runners for my age group in 2011. I have 3 more races to complete in our 'Grand Prix' series for this year. I am currently in 4th place, and looking to take 2nd or 3rd by the end of this. I took most of the races earlier in the year at a slow place because I was in 'training' mode. Next year it's all about SPEED. I'm really looking forward to next years training.... Month to month training rather than 4 months of training for one race.

Midlife Crisis? No, not really...

We did it! We bought a second car. It's used but it runs nice and was a fantastic price. We did a lot of research on the Mazada Miata and it is a low maintenance car, gets good gas milage, and hey - we'll look awesome in it! It's only 2 seats but we don't need anything bigger than that. Don't you just love it?! We do!!

I can do it!

2009-12-09T21:11:00.000-05:00

The girls used anything they could to get the ornaments high on the tree. Nana helped re-arrange some, but Thing 1 and Thing 2 got most of the higher ornaments on the tree.

Christmas Time!

2009-12-09T21:07:00.000-05:00

All the girls working hard on Christmas decorations. Nana and Becky got the ornaments out and lined them up while the 3 little ones decorated the trees. Everyone had a great time!

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

2009-12-09T20:31:00.001-05:00

The girls were having a great time playing Playdoh and watching cartoons with Grandma and Grandpa while they were here. I think Grandma and Grandpa were enjoying the Playdoh too! :0)

The girls had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. They came out the weekend before Turkey before heading to Philly to visit Tim's fiance's family. This is a group cuddle watching cartoons before bedtime.

Proud Daddy with Lily before the Race

2009-10-04T17:04:00.000-04:00

We had an absolutely fabulous day today. It was a great bonding experience. At the end of the race, she decided she wanted to run the last .2 miles by herself. She actually ran better without me. There was a large crowd that was cheering at the end too that she loved. I can't wait for her next race! She was pretty winded after the 1 mile, so we may work a little on the girls overall fitness, but I am VERY pleased!

The Girls and Ryan before the Big Race

2009-10-04T16:59:00.000-04:00

Callie, Lily, Angie and Ryan posing before Lily and Angie's first race. The two little one's did great considering that they were not racing. It was purely coincidence that their numbers were 1 digit apart. The weird part is I was born in '68 and Patty was born in '69.

Lily Finishing her first Race!

2009-10-04T16:53:00.001-04:00

She finished the 1 mile race in 13:18. We had a great day and she had a wonderful experience with the race.

Pumpkin

2009-10-04T16:50:00.000-04:00

I don't think Lily likes animals very much... What do you think? She still wants 'Pumpkin' from the Fall Festival this year.

Fall 2009

2009-09-21T08:51:00.003-04:00

Well, we find ourselves in late September 2009. Callie celebrated her 4th birthday last month with a Wall-E and Eva themed party. (Eva is her middle name for those of you who didn't know that.) She had a great time and is so proud of herself. She is potty trained except at night, but that will come in time. And she's trying!

Lily has been in kindergarten for 2 weeks now, starting her 3rd. She is so excited about school. I have to remind her that the bus needs to stop before she runs out into the street to get on it. :) All 3 girls are bright so it isn't surprising that she loves to learn. Callie is even benefiting from the things that Lily is learning. I can see that her alphabet skills have improved as well as her writing.

We are working on the days of the week, the months and seasons. I have a calendar that they can update everyday to reflect these changes. It's fun. I can't find the picture of her on the first day of school right now but I will and will get it posted.

Great 4th of July weekend

2009-07-06T11:35:00.003-04:00

We had a few friends show up to watch the parade on Saturday. If nothing else it was long, and the kids really enjoyed it. The dog did really well with all the noise. He didn't freak out once!

We also did a LOT of swimming Sat and Sun. Girls had a blast. Thanks for having us over Cheryl! We couldn't have asked for better weather this weekend! We deserve it after all the rain we've been having.

Update on Callie's tooth:

So far so good! Tooth is still there, no discoloring. We were blessed for hard boned, fast recovery kids!

Early Birthday Present

Callie also was able to ride her new bike this last week (early Birthday present from Nana and Papa)! She loved it! She took off like she had been riding a bike for years. She still needs to pay attention to where she's going though, but she has that problem when she walks... I'm sure she'll be riding it today - another beautiful day expected.

3 Little Monkey's Jumping on the Bed

2009-06-30T10:07:00.004-04:00

Our 3 little monkey's were just scolded for jumping on the bed, when we heard screams from their room after walking out... Callie had blood gushing from her mouth and one of her front teeth was at a 45 degree angle. Daddy pushed it back where it was supposed to be, but still, YIKES! The doctor said to take her to the emergency room, because there was nothing they could do. We decided the best option was to go see a Dentist instead of waiting for 4 hours in an emergency room for them to tell us to go see a Dentist. They took X-Rays, and it appears to be fine. Soft food for the next few days. The tooth will either stay, or it won't. It will either discolor, or it won't. Still left to be seen, but her gum line is healing up nicely. Somehow no bruises on her face either. What a tough cookie!

Farrah Fawcett

2009-06-26T20:55:00.003-04:00

Farrah will be missed!!! I don't know of a boy growing up in my generation that didn't have a poster of her on their wall at some point. She fought a horrible disease very bravely. She was even willing to show it for what it was, ugly; that coming from one of the most beautiful women that made it through the 70's. I feel bad for her family that her death will always be surrounded by the death of the most famous pedophile in the world. May her family find some peace and may her son look back at this and pull him self out of the pit that he has dug himself into. God Bless.

Michael Jackson

2009-06-26T20:50:00.002-04:00

My thoughts, although nothing was ever proven in court, there was something wrong with that guy. My prayers go to his friends and family, and if there were 'victims', may they find a way to heal from their experience. If nothing else, he brought beautiful music to the world, some a little off, but he truly was an incredible entertainer. Let's put things in perspective and realize he has a soul like the rest of us. We all will see our maker someday, let's pray we've made the right choices in our lives.

June 2009

2009-06-26T08:28:00.002-04:00

Well we find ourselves here at the end of June. Next weekend we celebrate July 4th with all the pomp & circumstance, bbq's & parades, fireworks & good times that go with it.

I have to take a minute to vent my disgust with America and how they are falling over themselves to mourne Michael Jackson. Even typing his name disgusts me. The man was a pervert and should have been in jail to protect the youth of America - not to mention how screwed up his own kids are going to be. The only reason he wasn't locked up was because he was allowed to buy his freedom. I hope he burns in Hell for all eternity for what he did. No amount of musical talent can excuse his moral and social obligation for what he did. OK. I feel a little better. Thanks.

Now, on to my wonderful children...

Lily had her screening for kindergarten last week. They had her say her alphabet, do some balancing exercises, stack some blocks and a few other things that I couldn't see from peeking around the corner. We got the notice in mail this week that "your child performed all tasks within age appropriate limits" - of course they had to pick that box because they don't have one that says "your child is a genius!" . Let's face it, we all know she's brilliant!

She's going to attend dance camp next month and VBS in August. There are some activities that the Recreation department is running at the fields down the street from us and you only have to be 5 years old to participate so we are going to send her to that a few weeks this summer too. Sadly Callie is still a bit to young to participate in that. But Callie does get to go to VBS.

Speaking of Callie, she's doing and AMAZING job of potty training. I forgot how much work it is to help train. I think that Ashley is going to be the easiest of all of them becuase she already sits on the training potty, wipes, and magic soaps her hands. (Magic soap is code for hand sanitizer in our house.) But I think that at 17 months she's really too young to understand the sigals her body is sending. But I have taken her diaper off and tried having her sit. It would be AWESOME if I could get her trained by the holidays too... hmmm...

Ashley is still a peanut. She's barely 20 lbs. and she's 17 months old. She still wears 12 month clothes. Yesterday she had on an outfit for 6-12 month olds. YIKES! But I'm sure she'll be happy to be so petite when she's a teenager. :)

It's scary to think about any of them getting older. I dread then turning into teenagers. I heard a line on tv last week that really made me kringe... "pretty girls never pay for pot..." I know pot is everywhere but I know our girls are beautiful so it is my/our job to raise them to do the right thing and be able to say NO. Pray for us!

Family Update

2009-04-22T15:12:00.004-04:00

Well here it is the latter half of April 2009 and I am just making the time to sit down and blog. How awful is that? Wait, don't answer that, I don't really want to know. :) What can I say, it's tough to make the time with 3 little kids.

So I guess you want to know what's been going on since my last post - back in December. Well, Ashley turned 1 in January. She is a bright loving and tiny little gift from God. Lily calls her "itty bitty". She is loved by both of her big sisters and of course us. Lily turned 5 in March. Let me tell you that party was THE social event of the season. There were 2 unicorns that showed up - from out of the magical forest. OK, so Jeff came walking down the street with them but to a 5 year old, it was a magical forest and Daddy was her hero! The truck bringing them broke down a few blocks away and Jeff went to find them and bring them over while all the kids were out in the yard looking for clues. It was awesome when they saw them come down the driveway.

We are making plans to head back to AZ for a couple of weeks this summer. I figure that we will have 3 little swimmers by the time we come home. I bet they will have lovely tans too. I suspect that we will spend a good portion of our days lounging around the pool, or taking naps to recover from lounging around the pool. It will be a nice break for us too. Jeff could use a little time away from the office and I could use a little time with some adult conversations. :)

Jeff and I are also going to be celebrating our 19th wedding anniversay next month. Look for pictures...

December News

2008-12-04T16:07:00.002-05:00

Ok, so the title is kind of misleading. There really isn't any news so far. We are having company for dinner tomorrow and again on Sunday. we are practicing for the Christmas Pageant at church on 12/14 and looking forward to going away for the holidays. I can say that with all confidence - our shopping is DONE! We aren't going overboard this year. A few carefully selected things for each child is plenty. Heaven knows that they have enough toys already! Jeff and I have promised each other a date, with no children at In-n-Out Burger while we are in Phoenix. That's our gift to each other - and a yummy one at that. I suspect that we will be dining there more then once!!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

2008-11-28T15:38:00.008-05:00

Becky had a little issue with a grease fire today in the kitchen. I've attached a picture of the oven mitts that she put the flaming pan on.

Luckily none of the children were injured. She said she has some blisters on her arms, so she may be going to the doctor when I get home.

Can you believe she's to stuborn to go?! I'm working late tonight for 'month-end', so we'll see how bad it is when I get home...

OK, OK, it's been a while

2008-11-25T15:16:00.002-05:00

Ok, ok, I know it's been a while since I wrote but with 3 little girls at home I don't always have as much free time as I would like. But I really wouldn't want it any other way.

I know the homepage says that my Mom is visiting but she has since come and gone. We had a nice visit but it figures that someone had to get sick. All of us did. We haven't had a solid night's sleep since 10/31! We've run the gamut of colds and flu, croup and congunctivitis, impetigo and strep throat. And that was all in the past 25 days! We're about due for some healthy days. I think that we are all on the mend now. Something to be thankful for this holiday season.

We are looking forward to spending Thanksgiving with our Pastor and his family. I wasn't going cook this year. I just didn't feel like it and when Gabrielle heard about that, they invited us over. So I am making the turkey & stuffing, but they're doing all the other stuff. Seems like a fair trade to me.

Can you believe that it is only 30 days until Christmas! That means that we leave in only 25 days. We are going to Phoenix for the holidays. We will be spending it with Jeff's family. We are ALL looking forward to going and spending this special time with them. The girls have already been to see Santa at the mall and make their requests. Lily has her heart set on a cupcake maker (we already got it for her) and Callie really wants a Jack-in-the-Box, which we don't have for her yet. We haven't decided yet if we are going to ship the gifts we are giving them out to Phoenix only to ship them back, or give them to the girls before we leave. Ashley hasn't made any requests for Christmas yet this year. I think she'll be happy with the empty boxes and wrapping paper. :)

Check back in a few days as I hope to be better about my blogging.

Caylor family at Pilgrim Pines for Pumpkinfest 2008

2008-11-02T18:51:00.001-05:00

We had a great time at Pilgrim Pines. We went up for Pumpkinfest in Keene, and although we had a good time at Pumpkinfest we had an even better time hanging out at the Pilgrim Pines facility. I think this will be a place our family will become very familiar with in the years to come.

We even 'crashed' a Praise service that a NY group was putting on. The girls enjoyed it, but were really to tired to hang-out very long and enjoy it. Lily and Callie watched a Disney movie downstairs with some of the other children. Ashley and I hung out a bit longer and listened and sang to some of the music.

Carol Bommhardt is working up there for the next year and we got to spend some quality time with her as well. We hope to see her there much more over the next year. Our church is also going to 'adopt' one of the cabins at Pilgrim Pines. The men's group has asked me to work on the coordination for this, which I will be happy to do.

2008-09-30T17:12:00.003-04:00

It has been too long since my last blog. Sorry - life happens. Praise God life happens!! My Mom has come off of life support and is breathing on her own. She has been moved out of ICU to a regular room and is getting better. She has a long road ahead of her and has to relearn a lot of things, like talking on a phone. But we are holding out hope that she can still come here to visit at the end of October. It's a great motivator for her too I think.

Thanks to all of you who stood by us and prayed for her. It is truely a miracle and gift from God that she is alive. We are SO THANKFUL. I've learned alot about faith in the past 3 weeks.

Colorado Update

2008-09-21T19:08:00.002-04:00

I haven't been as good as I wanted to be about updating this blog. But there has been ALOT going on. My Mom remains in ICU on life support. She had a few incidents yesterday where she thrashed and her numbers became elevated. The doctors decided to do a CAT scan. It was determined that she had fluid in her chest cavity that had collapsed her right lung. With the aid of another CAT scan, a surgeon was able to insert a chest tube and remove 20oz of fluid and reinflate the lung. They are still waiting to find out if the fluid contains bacteria, but I was told it looked pretty clear.

The doctors have reduced the use of the ventilator so that Mom is doing more of the breathing on her own. They will continue to reduce the amount of work that the ventilator does and therefore increase what Mom is doing. If all goes as planned, they will turn off the ventilator at some point tomorrow and see if she can breathe on her own. If after 1 or 2 hours, she is doing OK, then they will remove the tube. We are praying for this!!

I need my Mom. I was starting to give up hope until this news today. I'm still afraid but I am daring to hope again that she is going to recover. I feel like God had us find Community Covenant Church and establish relationships with so many wonderful people there back in May as ameans of supporting us now. Our other friends have been wonderfully supportive too. I don't think I would have kept it together this long if not for them. :) Of course Jeff is the first person I lean on, but sometimes I've just needed someone who's a little more sensitive, you know how us girls are. Part of me felt like we found this church as support, then Mom got to visit my brother Doug and his family in mid-August and then our visit at the end of August and into September might have been God's way of us having us see her and spend time with her before he took her home. I know she could still pass away and that terrifies me. I'm just using this blog to share how I feel.

Keep praying for a miracle!!!

Colorado Update

2008-09-16T23:29:00.002-04:00

As I write this, my Mother lays in a medically induced coma in the ICU on a ventilator, hands in restraints and fighting a serious case of bacterial pneumonia. She will also be getting a feeding tube as soon as she is stable.

How did this happen you ask. So suddenly is my answer. Friday night, she came down with a fever that shot up to 104 in just a matter of hours. Saturday morning she was feeling better, had a shower and a light breakfast. By 11:30am, it was clear to me that she needed to be in the ER. She was shivering, it hurt to lay on her right side and she complained that she couldn't take a deep breath. I told her that she had pneumonia. She didn't agree but was really in no condition to argue. So my Father took her to the urgent care clinic. They evaluated her and sent her by ambulance to the ER. She was quickly admitted to the ICU. She has continued to deteriorate rapidly. Every time the phone rings and it's the hospital it is more bad news.

One bright spot is that the Doctors and Nurses are wonderful. They have been giving wonderful care to her and have been so kind and taken the time to talk to us at length and answer all of our questions. So thank you!

Right now it is more of wait-n-see. I'm not so good at that. Please continue to pray for Mom, for my Dad, and for me. I am here visiting still with our kids. They, mostly Lily, are having a difficult time processing what is going on. They all understand that Nana & Papa aren't here and Lily has been told more of what is going on. I think she understands how serious this is.

Uncle Mark came to see us tonight. He was a wonderful distraction and it was good for all of us to get to spend some more time visiting with him. Thanks Mark!!

I am still going home on Thursday as planned per my Father's request. There is really nothing more I can do here and I think he needs some time to himself to process in his own was what is going on and how to deal with it.

Colorado Update

2008-09-09T16:40:00.002-04:00

Well it's been about a week since I updated this blog. The kids and I are still enjoying Colorado and our time with Nana & Papa.

We had a grand adventure yesterday, Monday. We went to the rec. center in Lone Tree. They have a FANTASTIC indoor pool with a water slide, whale spouts that shoot up from the floor making a water umbrella that you can run and play and splash under, a lazy river and spray posts that make you feel like you are playing in a car wash. There was also a little kiddie slide in the zero entry section of the pool that Lily and Callie really enjoyed. Ashley is still a little young to be shooting down water slides by herself and the big one was way to big for any of the kids, except me. And I have to admit that once I climbed all the way to the top and looked at how high I was and how fast the water was shooting out, I had second thoughts. Having 2 of your 3 children watching you from below is a powerful motivator for sucking it up, facing your fears and going for it. So I did it. Lily and Callie cheered for me when I hit the water below. I did however think that once was enough. Ashley enjoyed sitting with Nana in the shallow end and watching what was going on. I took her out a little deeper (like 3 feet deep) and let her kick her little legs and feel the weightlessness of the water supporting her. She enjoyed that a lot too I think. If I had a waterproof camera, I would have brought it with me.

We are planning a trip to the mountains tomorrow and to the zoo on Thursday so watch for more updates.

Vacation Update

2008-09-03T14:33:00.003-04:00

Well it's been a few days since I wrote so I wanted to update you on all the fun things we are doing here with Nana & Papa.

Over the weekend we spent some time with Uncle Mark. He took Lily, Callie and me (Rebekah) to dinner at a really fun restaurant called Casa Bonita. You go for the fun, not the food. The girls loved it. They got to see a "gorilla" get loose, it tricked someone into jumping off a high cliff into the water below. Then they got to see a cliff diver make 3 dives each one higher than the one before. We skipped the sheriff and bad-guy shoot out, but they also got to see some kids take turns with a pinata. Everyone got 2 tootsie rolls. It was a lot of fun.

Sunday night we had gyoza and chocolate surprise to celebrate my birthday. I'm going with 32 again this year... ;) Then on Monday, which was really my birthday we went out to dinner and I discovered that Lily and Ashley really LOVE cornbread. Who knew?! Lily ate all of the leftovers that we brought home with us - with the honey butter too.

We went and had their pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids, went clothes shopping for me for my birthday and bought material so we can make new dolls for Lily and Callie.

So as not to leave Ashley out, she has mastered sitting and is RAPIDLY moving on to standing and walking. She still does the "army man crawl" most of the time but has figured out the hands and knees too. She doesn't want to be left out or left behind and is already trying to pull herself into a standing position. She might be only 7 1/2 months but she is WAY ahead of schedule developmentally. It's funny too, Nana & Papa have a light that is activated by touch and Ashley has figured out how to turn it on and turn it up. She also thinks that all of their floor lamps work the same way. She crawls over to each of them and hits their bases trying to get them to turn on. Quite ingenious and quite alert!

We have lots of things planned in the next several days so check back soon for more updates.

We Made It!

We made it to Colorado. I am so impressed with our little girls. They have to be the BEST travellers EVER!!! It was a very long day that started at 4:30 am in Boston, and ended at 8:30 pm in Denver. That means it was an 18 hour day for the kids and they only slept about an hour total! They were excellent on the planes and just as wonderful in the airport. As soon as they saw Nana & Papa at the baggage claim in DIA, they went bezerk. They have been moving non-stop ever since.

Today, Saturday, we hope to see Uncle Mark. He's supposed to come see us and go out to dinner with us. We've already had a full day. We went shopping at Sam's Club, went swimming and have had baths. Lily & Callie are napping now but Ashley isn't interested in sleep at this point. She even went swimming.

On Friday, we took Callie to the mall to go shopping for some birthday clothes. She had a wonderful time picking out some stylish outfits at Macy's, (kid's got taste!). Lily was having a hard time watching Callie get gifts so she stayed home with Papa and got some 1:1 time with him. They went to a park, then had lunch at McDonald's. Lily was quick to tell me when she got home that she climbed too high in the playground at McDonald's that she got scared and got stuck and couldn't get down. A couple of bigger girls helped her find her way out and back to Papa. She isn't too likely to try that again!

Girls trip to Denver

Well, the girls are off to Denver. It was very sad to see them go. I don't think Lily actually realized, until she was walking away from me at the ticket counter to the airplane, that her Daddy was not coming with her. We told her several times, but I don't think she quite comprehended what was happening. I'm sure she was fine as soon as she got on the plane. I can't wait to hear how it goes in New York for them!

Here we go...

Well Mommy & the kids are ready to head out on vacation. We leave in the morning for a 3 week visit to Nana & Papa's home. We are also lucky enough to get to see Uncle Mark too. Watch for more posts about our grand adventures...

Starting our blog here at www.blogger.com - and so far seems pretty easy! We've had all sorts of issues with fatcow, and are in the process of moving to www.1and1.com - and it also is the easiest Web Hosting site I have found. The girls leave early for Colorado to leave Daddy all alone for 3 weeks. They should have a gear time, but wish Mommy luck with all three alone in the airport.
