Funny we got this in the mail the day I put up <a href="http://www.bloggingniki.com/news/2010/01/16/ballerina-niki/">a 3yo pic of myself</a> :). Carla also said that if I stopped dying Liv's hair blonde she would look JUST like me. Cute.</p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>On Thursday Jack had a half day at school due to Parent Teacher Conferences. We decided that would be a perfect day to go to the New York Botanical Gardens to see their <a href="http://www.nybg.org/hts09/">Holiday Train Show</a>. We were right, hardly anyone was there. We had a great time at the trains, especially Livi. She LOVED it. </p><p>That day was one of the coldest we have had this winter so far. The high was in the upper 20's. It was freezing. The train show is in the conservatory and it is a balmy 70 degrees and humid. It is always nice going into the show but quite a shock walking across the gardens to the <a href="http://www.nybg.org/gardens/test_garden.php?id_gardens_collections=56">Children's Adventure Garden</a> in the freezing cold after. </p><p>Here the kids are playing in the garden.</p><p><img  style="border: 1px solid black; margin: 4px; display: block;" alt="" src="http://media.bloggingniki.com/media/2009/12/14/img-6861.jpg" align="center" /></p>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[<p><img  alt="" style="margin: 4px;" src="http://media.bloggingniki.com/media/2009/12/13/worldwidecandle.jpg" align="right" />In a few minutes, I am going to light a candle for the <a href="http://www.bloggingniki.com/news/2006/12/10/worldwide-candle-lighting/">10 babies I lost</a>. I am very blessed to have the 3 children I have in my life but I will never forget the 10 children that I didn't have. I love them.</p><p>At 7pm local time, <a target="_blank" href="http://www.compassionatefriends.org/news_events/Worldwide_Candle_Lighting.aspx">Compassionate Friends</a> encourages people to light a candle for an hour in honor of the children they have lost. This creates "a virtual 24-hour wave of light as it moves from time zone to time zone."</p>]]></description>
