Horoscopes

I saw these horoscopes where you can compare yourself to your child & to your spouse & how it relates to eachother & your child. It was kind of funny & interesting!!

Chad & Jenn

Though equally involved with your children's upbringing, you two are quite different in your parenting styles. This can create problems in the short run, but it challenges both of you to grow enough to overcome any difficulties. While the Aries mom or dad is spirited, fleet of foot, and highly energetic, the Taurus parent is calm, slow-paced, and patient. It's Aries who gets everyone up and at 'em in the morning, bolting down breakfast, and moving right on to the day's work, but it will be gentle Taurus who tucks the little ones into bed at night after reading a bedtime story. At least you are both warm and affectionate, so your kids always feel loved. Learning to parent together will require adjustments from you both, but between you are all the qualities necessary for raising happy, well-adjusted children.


Jenn & Aidan

You and your Taurus child love lots of the same things, such as taking long naps at home, cooking up batches of yummy homemade cookies, snuggling on the couch, and visiting with friends. Being outdoors is a favorite, too, since you're both innately connected with nature and the environment. Camping would be a good adventure for you two. You both like comfort, so you won't have any trouble cuddling with your little Taurus as much as he wants and indulging him in the good food and soft textures he adores. But you're both so stubborn! When you two dig in your heels, you can get quite entrenched. So choose your battles carefully. Even though you're both famous for hanging on to resentment, there's a lot of genuine affection between you. Ground yourselves in that instead of in any passing irritation.


Chad & Aidan

In many ways, you and your Taurus child are fundamentally different. You've always been spirited, passionate, and impulsive, but your little Taurus is much more relaxed and easygoing. You've never been able to wait for anything, but walking a block with your young Taurus is guaranteed to develop your patience. Like you, he embodies strength and vitality, but his unhurried pace could drive you batty -- or at least leave you feeling antsy and craving some stimulation. Your child is much more grounded and practical than you are, even at an early age. Of course, you can expect some real fireworks when you get irritated and your little one's stubborn side kicks in. Taurus people of all ages tend to hold grudges, but you can help your child learn to get things off his chest and then move on.

Allison's Wedding

My best friend, Allison was married August 2nd, 2008! This marked Aidan's first wedding & my first appearance as maid of honor. It was a very busy couple of days, but it was all worth it when Saturday came. Aidan got to go to Disneyland for the first time the Thursday before. He went on the Haunted Mansion & Buzz Lightyear!!
