Are these not the cutest things ever?
So you can really see the size, here they are next to Jack’s flip flops:

I know… totally impractical and will probably never be worn (except maybe once for show).  But for $2.50, how could I not indulge?  Especially when they match his new swim suit and hat

Yesterday, before heading out with the baby, I went through my diaper bag/purse to make sure I had plenty of baby supplies.  I found in there several newborn sized diapers.
And I wanted to cry.  At over 10 lbs., Andrew has outgrown these tiny diapers.  So much so, that it’s hard to believe he wore them [...]

At 5:55 a.m. 8 years ago today, this little guy was born, changing our lives completely and forever.
Who would have thought that we’d love him so much that we’d end up with FOUR MORE?!?
I can’t believe 8 years have gone by… it just doesn’t seem possible.  I hope time will slow down a bit, as [...]

Hear that?  That is the sound of just me and my new baby at home alone.  Just keys on the keyboard and a few squeaks coming from the bassinet. It won’t last long, and that’s okay.  But, for now it’s very, very nice.
I thought I’d take this opportunity to update you on the new baby [...]

Happy Easter!
Despite desperately wanting this baby to come, it has been a very nice Easter weekend.
Yesterday morning, we dyed eggs.  Sam wanted to know if a dyed egg and a died (a.k.a. dead) egg were one in the same.  Ummmm… no.

In the afternoon, despite some rain, Dan took Luke, Sam and Maria to an egg [...]

Often (too often) Sam will come down in the middle of the night and crawl into our bed.  Luke used to come, too, which made for a very crowded bed.  He, however, seems to have broken the habit and has recently been staying in his own bed.
So.  Back to Sam.  Dan and I both agree [...]

Just when you want to strangle them, they turn you into mush.
I was putting Sam down for a nap (hopefully). I’m exasperated, tired, have things to do.  I said, “Give me a kiss so I can get on with things.”
He held up his little finger and responded brightly, “Kisses and hugs coming up for Mommy!”

Just a quick post today.  I had to pass on a couple of things my kids have said.
Last night, Dan came home early, so we had a quick dinner and he took us all out for ice cream.  While we were sitting there eating, Jack asked me to remind him who his Godparents are.  When [...]

Last night, while Dan was digging through some papers in preparation of filing our taxes, he came across an anniversary book I had put together a couple of years ago.  My friend, Katey, had inspired me, as she had one.  It was filled with pictures from each of her wedding anniversaries and descriptions of where [...]

Today I had another NST and doctor’s appointment.  Despite the earlier appointment time and only having Sam with me, I was still dreading it after last week’s adventure.
However, Sam played Mr. Hyde and all went well.  He watched Cars on my iPhone happily while I was strapped to the NST machine.  The baby and machine [...]
