And then Life Happened!

I cannot believe it is May and I've been neglecting the blog since March.  We've had some monumental things happen in our household.  The one that's made blogging impossible?  I went back to work.  It is hard to be a mom, a wife, and work.  So, the blog suffers.  I think that's an okay trade.  My time spent online is almost none.  Facebook?  Twitter?  Pinterest?  What are those?

Seriously though, we have monumentally passed Annie's 4th moth and are creeping up on her 5th next week.  Dexter is amazing.  In every way.  He has become the best big brother that any girl ever had.  His first day at the sitter's house, a little 18 month old boy she also watches came to look at Annie and he told him in no uncertain terms to "Go Away."  I love him!  Speaking of milestones and Dexter, my baby turned 3 in April.  Oh my.  What is happening?  My babies are getting so big.

The best way to handle my non posting is to overload you with pictures.  Choosing the best ones is going to be hard.  Bear with me and love on my babies!

St. Patrick's Day....They came with me and Grandma to a Pampered Chef Bingo and were perfect angels!











Annie was baptized...those are her godparents she is with!





Annie had been rolling belly to back for a long time..literally.  From 6 days old.  And turned 3 months.  She's so strong!





Dexter turned 3.  We had a little home celebration on the day.  Easter kinda happened.  Quickly!  We went to the zoo for his birthday, and had a little bash in our house!  And yes, there is an elusive me in a picture.  Don't judge.  Baby weight!



















We played outside....










Annie turned 4 months old!  and started rolling back to belly.  Crazy!






Did I mention we played outside?  A lot?
























And yeah...life happened!  If you look closely, you will also see Annie has 2 teeth!  Please forgive the lack of updating...we've been enjoying our babies...maybe when summer arrives, I'll be better!  But if not, yeah, this is where I'll be!

Oh hi spring....

I cannot believe this weather!  It's just crazy how we've gone from mildish winter to a week with 80's in the forecast.  Um did I mention it's March. In western PA.  Where my poor little guy has the possibility of a blizzard with an early April birthday?

This is what we've been doing....

going for a walk...Dexter loves this, he's just making a weird face!

One of those rare in the front yard moments...

Hi Mommy!   
How have you been enjoying this weather?

2 months

Dear Annie,

I know, I know, we hit 2 months last week.  Girl baby, you might as well learn now, sometimes your mommy procrastinates.  Figure this, you'll come by it honestly.

You went to the doctor yesterday and you were 11 pounds 4 ounces and 23 inches long!  Wow, you are getting too big!  We didn't love that doctor yesterday, did we?  She definitely didn't make you or Mommy feel comfortable, but it was a lesson in life babe.  We're done with that doctor, I promise.   Maybe she was having a bad day.  And yes, she did contribute into Mommy having a rough night and day today, but you know what Grandma always says?  Disappointment builds character.  Well I wouldn't say we had disappointment yesterday, just unkindness, that in turn will make us stronger women.

Doodle, I cannot believe you've been with us 2 months!  I'm sitting and watching you doze in your swing.  You are so peaceful.  I treasure these days with you and Dexter.

Speaking of Dexter, do you know how much he loves you? He thinks you are something special baby, and we agree.  You could not ask for a better big brother.  He tries to include you in everything.  You just smile at him like he is the king of the world.  He loves that!

We love you baby girl!
Love,
Me
