Welcome Baby Daniel Joseph Tobin!!!!

Approximately ONE week earlier than expected, baby "Daniel Joseph Tobin" aka "Trip" (because he's a "3rd" ~ named after his grandpa and daddy) entered the world.

My sister, Ashley, gave birth to him NATURALLY (owe) without choice. She had been feeling contractions for several days, but was just working through them. Her and her hubby went to a birthday party tonight, and after being there for a short time, Ashley realized, "it's time!"

They headed to the hospital, were there two hours, and my sister knew that it was time to push. Already 10 cm dilated, Ashely gave it ONE BIG PUSH and bam.......... "TRIP" arrived. Incase you're wondering, "Trip" stands for "Triple".

My sister is my hero. LOL! She gave birth naturally. OWIE! But I quote her, "Oh I wanted an epidural. I was screaming for it, but it was tooooo late!"

I was able to speak to her on the phone just a few short hours after the baby was born. Ashley sounded WIDE awake, perky, and showed no signs of pain. Shew!!! What is it with these women named Ashley/Ashely. They are incredible.

Baby Daniel Joseph Tobin weighs 6 pounds. 3 ounces born on July 14th.

Born 1 DAY before his MOMMY'S Birthday ~ July 15th.

We can't wait to meet him!!!!

The Groom Retrieves the Garter Belt!

I FORGOT I CAPTURED Tyson's "catch", of the garter belt, ON VIDEO!!!!! It was much more hilarious in person!!!!! What a smooooth capture. The only bad part was the fact that I didn't realize he has to then put the garter belt on the girl who caught the bouquet. Luckily, he put it on her arm and NOT her leg.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Tobin

On September 9, 2011, our family traveled to Pennsylvania to be a part of my sister's wedding. Myself along with all three of my children were honored to be a part of the bridal party. The ride up was perfect. The kids are world travelers, even with the terrible traffic in D.C. and the twins' potty training, we made it in 6 hours. We NEVER STOPPED. I just brought a portable potty and let the twins get out of their seats when they needed to use the potty. Praise God for our safety there and back.

The weekend went fast!!!! It was wonderful to spend time with my family and to see the biggest smile on my sister and NEW brother-in-law's face. The wedding reception was a TON OF FUN. You can tell they put a lot of effort into making this a memory for not only themselves, but their guests as well.

My sister is no longer a Crisafi, but a TOBIN! I will let the pictures do the talking!!!! Double click on the album below to see the photos on a larger scale.
