There is a lockbox on our door and a sign in our yard. Worst housing market in the US, here we come! Wish us luck!
Swimming
Friday, May 16, 2008
Liam and Elaina are both taking swimming lessons. This is Elaina's third year... she is really fearful of the water it seems. I dont know. I wish the child would just swim already! Andrew did one season 3 years ago and has been swimming like a fish since then. Liam is obviously just working on his float. He doesnt like it. LOL
And here is Elaina doing a great job with her float!
Graduation
Last night we had Andrew's preschool graduation ceremony. I did tear up a bit, I must admit. I also have to state that he had his shirt tucked in when I dropped him off at his classroom. It was an adorable ceremony. They received their certificate and then they sang 4 songs. 
Liam is ONE!
On Sunday we celebrated Liam's first birthday. Unfortunately I was pretty sick, but the show must go on. We had all the grandparents over and Liam enjoyed his carrot-and-apple juice cake with breastmilk frosting. LOL He didnt really smash it though, as you always hope for. He got lots of adorable outfits so he is set for 18 month and has quite a few 24 month outfits as well. I have been holding off on posting about his birthday because I made a slideshow and I wanted to put that up, but I am having problems with my web hosting, so as soon as I get it cleared up I will post the slideshow. On Monday we went to his well-visit. He is 22 pounds and doing great.
Singing a song
Monday, May 5, 2008
Elaina has been really into Miss Spider lately, and she has been singing this all the time. Its the Baby Buggy Lullaby. I was pretty happy that she agreed to sing it for the camera, usually she denies such requests. She is so cute. The song goes "Baby buggy rest your head, dreaming in your buggy bed. My love will keep you warm and snug, till you wake, my precious bug"
So cute.
(oh and please excuse the stuff all over the floor :)
Just ordered this for the kids
Saturday, May 3, 2008
It should be here this week, so we will put it out as a surprise on Sunday. We are having a Mother's Day/Liam's First Birthday bbq that day. Just us and all the grandparents. This will be the kids entertainment. I know they will be so excited.
IT'S MAY!
Thursday, May 1, 2008
It is May 1. A year ago I was pregnant and waiting for Liam. He was already more than a week overdue at this point. The last couple of weeks I have been really reliving those days. I cant believe he is going to be 1. It hasnt been the easiest year, but wow .. it really has gone by so fast. He is so sweet. He started swimming lessons this week. He only had one so far, for various reasons, but he did not like it. LOL He cried the whole time. I think he was more ticked off that I wasn't coming to him more than he was actually sad or scared. I will take some pictures next week. Elaina started too. She was a little pissy the first day but the second day she did great, which kind of surprised me since she spent all morning telling me she didnt want to go. Andrew is a great swimmer so he doesnt have to go.
It is really busy here these days, with school and ballet and swimming and decluttering to sell the house and cleaning and Liam's birthday coming up and all kinds of stuff. Phew! I am actually looking forward to having a little time this summer!
