August 6, 2010: Logan had his first meal last night for dinner! Carrots and Rice and he loved it, took a little getting used to but he liked it!
Pics to come soon, I have a million to put up!!
July 5, 2010: So we have some bad news... I got an email saying our vacation in Orlando was cancelled! I am not happy to say the least. I have already send a nasty email and am waiting for a response as to why it was cancelled. We are looking for other options as of now and have found a few that are just as good as the original, I am just bitter about the whole thing. But either way we will have a wonderful vacation down with Gma and Gpa!!
Logan has graduated to the world of NO SWADDLING!!!! Thank god because he was way to big for the blankets!! He is fitting in 6 month old clothes now. he's really getting to be a cute chubby baby!! Heathly might be a better word. He has nice big belly laughs now and talks up a storm!! the kids love him to death and are able to srtop him from crying. They know to try the pacifier or make silly faces at him and it usually works. Very convenient!! Logan just laughs at everybody when they look at him! He's very sweet.
6/30/10: HAPPY 3 MONTH BIRTHDAY TO LOGAN!!
WOW summer is flying by!! One more week until Sean goes to Richmond for his state testing commitee, 2 weeks until we go to FL!! The kids are so excited about flying on a plane!! Hopefully it all goes well, we will see. The kids are great and doing well. We rotate who stays home each day and we are enjoying spending special individual time with each kid!!
6/29/10: Pictures of Devons party are here!! We had a fantastic day!! Adults had a blast and so did the kids!! We couldn't have hoped for anything better!! Seriously went perfectly and everyone had such a great time that it lasted from 3pm until 9pm!!!
6/26/10: Devon did pretty well at roller hockey, see the pics!! Tomorrow is his bday party all toy story themed!! Even the slip n slide is toy story!! Hoping the thunderstorms don't hit until after the party!! We made our cupcakes today that are all dye free because who knew that even white frosting has dye in it!!! INSANE! We blew up balloons, cleaned up, made all the food, now all we have to do in the morning is decorate with the streamers and balloons. Should be a good time!!
6/21/10: Devon started his roller hockey camp today!!! We'll see how he did! And I slept in until NOON!!! Ahhh SUMMER!!! Two kids at daycare and one with Sean at Hockey camp = Mommy SLEEPS!!
6/20/10: HAPPY FATHERS DAY SEAN!!
Things are great now that it is summer for all of us!! It is so nice to have this time together! All kids are doing well!
Devon just finished his first soccer season and his team was undefeated, not that that means anything at this age. He liked it! He is excited to be starting school in the fall. He is adding, subtracting, multiplying, spelling, reading, sounding out all words, writing, compare and contrasting!! I say he's well on his way to being a good student. He has also been doing really well since we started the "no dye" diet. He's a different kid! He had something by accident one take with Red 40 in it and we knew right away because of the change in him, its that drastic!!
Megan is also excited to be going to PreK next year! She has become my helper in every way. She adores Logan! She has also been working on her math and word skills and her writing. She does really well. We have realized that she is extremely creative and Devon is very mathmatical and linguistic.
Logan is now laughing and smiling like crazy and is just the cutest ever. He is really a great baby. Only cries when hungry and dirty!! Sleeps really well! He power eats all day then sleep really well at night. I'm still hoping those blue eyes stick around. He's so snuggly!!
Sean got a new job in Loudoun County and is thrilled to be leaving his old school. We can't wait to head to Florida in a month!! So much to do in the summer and so many projects to do!
6/19/10: HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY TO DEVON!!
5 YEARS AGO TODAY WE BECAME PARENTS!! SCARY THOUGHT, BUT WE THINK WE ARE DOING OK. THE KIDS ARE GREAT, WILL UPDATE MORE TOMORROW!! ENJOY THE PICS (GRANDMA OPP!!!) SORRY ITS BEEN SO LONG!
6/6/10: Happy Birthday to ME!!!
We have decided to fly to Florida!! I figured out it costs about $750 to drive down, and I found a deal online for $881 to fly all - four tickets!!! So we will travel on plane with 3 kids for the first time!!
6/3/10: Logan went for his 2 month check up yesterday. He is now 12 lbs 4 oz and 22 & 1/4 inches long. He looks like a chunker but is actually 100% average! He is doing very well is all categories. He had his first shots and last night his legs swelled up and he had a fever of 100.8. Looks like he has my reaction to tetanus shots! I always get a high fever with it.
Last night we took Devon and Megan to a carnival! They had a blast. We got them ride bracelets to ride all the rides they wanted to!! They had so much FUN! I have pictures and will post them as soon as i have a free minute!!!
5/22/10: Megan might be joining Devon at Pre-K... long story! We'll see. Rough week being my first week back and all but it went ok. Only 10 days left until school is done for the summer!! Can't wait.
Devon is currently at his soccer game with Daddy and Nanny, I'm tired so I stayed home with Meg and Logan. Logan is weighing approx 12 lbs now, his next check up is on June 2. We are going to pick strawberries this weekend. The kids can't wait, they love going and now its only 2 minutes away.
New eating habits are going really well around here. I haven't drank anything but water in 2 weeks!! Lost 5 lbs in this two weeks, 35 total so far!! Sean is down 15lbs.
Also Sean got a new job in Loudoun County!! WOOHOO!! Just waiting to sign the contract! I also switched jobs, same school different team. Now teaching 6/7th grade science instead of 7/8th grade!!
5/13/10: DEVON WILL BE GOING TO PRE-K NEXT YEAR!! We liked the private school we toured today and met his teacher. He will start there in August!!
5/13/10: Our house has gone on a lifestyle change. No sugar, whole grains and all natural foods!!! We have taken Devon off all food dyes, additives and msg and a massive change has occurred!!! Megan is going "free" soon too. Its amazing!! We have been having some issues with the county and Devon starting kindergarten, we don't want him to yet, but they won't let him in pre-k, they say he is too old and eligible for kindergatren, so its our only option, until now, we found a private school!!! Hopefully it all works out, then he will go to public kindegarten next year. lots more new will post again later must feed Logan!!
UPDATE: AUGUST 7TH LOGANS CHRISTENING AND PARTY!! AFTER THE 5:30PM MASS We will be having individual parties for the kids this year, however family that comes into town for the Christening can celebrate that day and do not need to be here for their parties. So basically family party will be after the christening for their b-days.
