hello.

I cant believe Thanksgiving is only a week away. Does anyone have any Thanksgiving traditions? We normally have a few people over for a Thanksgiving meal. I cant wait to eat all the wonderful food. Plus it will be the twins first Thanksgving! I wonder how many pant sizes I will go up this year?! Just kidding. Well I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Did anyone watch Oprah yesterday? I missed it.

Oprah busted out the W issue Angelina recently graced the cover of with a photo that Brad took. Brad said that he loves working with Angelina and that he did the photos to promote his movie.

Did BP really say that?

Hi ladies!!

I have been super busy the last few days..that's because I am now a mommy of two!

On November. 1st at 1:05 a.m. our son was born. Luca Gian Cristiano was born weighing 9lbs 8 oz!! He was 19'' long ( I now know why i was so huge!! haha) He is the absolute most beautiful baby boy. we are so in love with him.  I always wondered how you have enough love for more but it's just instant isn't it? Alyssa loves " her baby" and so far hasn't shown any jealousy. *knock on wood* We are just so happy!! He looks a lot like Alyssa did when she was born. Loads of dark curly hair. He's just beautiful. He's sleeping right now and Alyssa is out with daddy doing some errands which is why i am on here. I wanted to let you all know that we are all doing fine. Anyways, i will try to msg you all soon.

Love,

Tia :) xo

My grandson arrived last night, he will be here for a week. I woke up with the flu. I've made so many plans. Even if the plans fail I have to see him. I can barely drag myself out of bed. Does anyone have any sure fire remedies? I have to get it together and It has to be done fast.

Haloween on Friday was great fun, the kids all enjoyed dressing up and i have to admit, so did us adults!!!

It was a family affair with everyone at our place, the kids enjoyed seeing their granny dressed as Elphaba (sp?) from Wicked. Bless my mother, she really got involved, she even used some kind of dye to make her face green, i think it was just food color actually!

The children were dressed as:

Tristan: The Joker

Tris was the only child on our street who realised that he was meant to look creepy for haloween, and scary he was!!!

Carter: Batman

Thomas:Robin

Carter and Thomas both wanted to be Batman, but a quick tellling of from Nanny, "If you can't agree, both of you will go as Spiderman" (the boys are big batman fans, they don't care for spiderman!!) They quickly decided between themselves who would be what!!!

 Callie: Princess Peach(from mario bros.)

She looked adorable, i have a picture of her to upload!

I was Bree Hodge from Desparate Housevives, my favorite show, like what danielle went as to Bob+Lees haloween party.

I just found out that Im pregnant with a little boy! Im so excited to be having a boy. We havent decided on a name yet but I'll keep you updated.

Also my husband Matt has returned home from Iraq. He arrived home on Wednesday. Praise the lord!

My little girl goes to school with a girl named Kandy Kane.

My brother works with a girl named Lezbin.

I once knew a Japanese family who named their kids Ho Mu and Hung Wei.

It's unbelievable, already??? Christmas??? I was at Kohl's the other week, with my mother and i hear Christmas music in the store... "It's the most wonderful time of the year!" I really do like Christmas, but shopping for the kids, is very complicated, because sometimes they say the clothes are ugly, or they're for grandma's and they always like the shirts that are for $25. If prices go up anymore, my kids might not be getting much, it would be a different story, if i had more money.

My due date is a little over two weeks away. I LOVE being pregnant and all, but im at the point where im sick of waiting...it's time for our little man to join us. Im not getting much sleep now..i just feel uncomfortable...im HUGE. Waaayyy bigger than I was for Alyssa. Adriano thinks im adorable how i hobble about. haha! Im hoping I go early...that would be nice :)

I tuned into the debate early last night. What I saw was beyond obscene behavior. During a speech given by Gov. Palin (a speech she has used time again and again). The lower half of the Republican ticket was claiming that Sen. Obama is paling with a domestic terrorist and does not see America the way she feels it should be viewed. I can put up with the hijinks with knowing that's the way politics sometimes works. What I'm deeply distrubed by is that members of the audience were shouting "terrorist" and "kill him"(meaning Obama). Palin didn't bat an eye, no one said or did anything. I don't care what political party you belong to that type of mudslinging is criminal!
