If you are one who can't see my pics.....

I have finally figured out why some people can't see my pics and some can. For some reason, not exactly sure, you need to view my blog through the Mozilla Firefox browser. You can get it here. Thanks!

It's hard to come by a good dentist.....

Unless you are Hudson of course.

Hudson was fortunate enough to head to the dentist last Friday. Tim has been saying for the longest time that he wanted to get Hudson a check up, so finally we scheduled it. I always wondered how he would do, but after the weeks, ok basically his whole life, of Tim looking in his mouth with his dental instruments, he was fabulous!! He literally sat there the whole time, calm as can be while his dad picked and poked around looking for anything that even resembled a cavity. Heaven forbid the dentists' child has a cavity.... but thankfully, he was clean.

The office staff and everyone that Tim works with at the school could not get enough of the boys and Hudson seriously scored. I am not sure if all the kids that go to the Pedo department steal off with all the goods Hudson did, but they really spoiled him like crazy....even going in the back to find a Lightning McQueen toothbrush. They were wonderful.

Here is Hudson sporting the sweet protective eyewear. He thought he
was the coolest in those glasses.

Tim hard at work......excuse me, that would be "Dr. Mosher" hard at work. Weird, yet believable, especially after the enormous filling he drilled on me awhile back.

The perfect smile.

We had a great time and it really was fun to sit and watch Tim in action. It gives me hope and sheds at least a flicker of light on the fact that what we have been doing for the past 3 years is going to be worth it. Tim will be a great dentist. Only one more year and then on to bigger and better things in periodontics!

For my sister in law.......

Here are a few of the pics I took of Porter and Claire while they were here in PA with us. There are so many more......... and so little time. Erica, I will finish them when I get back. Hopefully these will hold you over until then.

Love you!!































I just realized that I didn't edit any pics where Porter was smiling!!! Sorry about that- there are some really great ones of those also.

30 years young

In March we celebrated the incredible amount of wisdom Tim has acquired in his 30 years of being on this earth. He was not excited about turning 30, but we had a great time anyway......how could you not with donut tower cakes and remote control airplanes?????

Our Spontaneous Trip to Philly...

Highlights of our Trip:

Independence Hall

Benjamin Franklin Park

(Lainey and Hudson couldn't get enough of the teeter totter. Bless these little Asian girls that kept it going until we FINALLY pulled them off!)

Liberty Bell

Feeding the Birds

Swimming which is ALL Hudson could talk about.

MATER

Hudson just couldn't stand that Mater was parked right across the street from us the whole time we were there. We HAD to get a picture.

(can't you just see the love in his face)

Chinese Cuisine in Chinatown

A Little Reese's Love
(don't think I haven't eaten 5 Reese's Eggs since Sunday)

And who can't go to Philly without a little ROCKY action, camo style!!

We loved our trip....it was quick but a lot of fun. Time is winding down here in Pittsburgh. Only one year left- well I guess it could be three more after that... (deep sigh). Regardless, we have to take advantage of every minute.

A Little Bit of Everything.

So I feel like I have so much to catch up on that I don't even know where to start. Over a month has gone by since Valentines.....actually two months now, and we have been going a million miles an hour. There is a ton to update so I will get right to it.

We have had much to be grateful for, namely:

1. A patch of warm weather

even if it was still gray...... Unfortunately one must get used to that here in Pittsburgh. But, it was warm so we headed out, exploring one of the many trails around. We started at Station Square, went across the river to downtown, followed the Eliza Furnace trail back across the river and ended at South Side Works where we spent the afternoon shopping and relishing in my favorite Icee, Ritas. It was an eventful day of fun, yet somehow our children have a 6th sense. Of course they decided to have a massive breakdown when we were only 10 minutes from the car. The joys of taking kids in public. But nonetheless, we had a blast and can't wait for more bike rides and especially THE SUN!!!!

2. Medical Insurance

3. This Face.

And this face again.......

4. Lightning McQueen

Sometimes I wonder, "what would life be like without Lightning McQueen?"..... definitely boring in Hudson's eyes. There are moments where I feel like I just want to run away from everything CARS, but then I realize that more often than not, he is the friend for Hudson that gets us through the day. And for that, I love him.

Happy Valentines!

We had a pretty uneventful Valentines Day here at the Mosher house, but we did at least get some cookies decorated. Everyone participated, although Tim fought it saying he would have to write "mushy" stuff........typical guy. But we had a good time. Hudson wanted to show Grandma his cookie for her, but when we called they had just been in their accident. There is nothing like crushing your car right after you bought it. If anyone knows, I do.....my poor Saturn. But we are thankful they are both ok. Hope you all had a great Valentines.
