8 weeks

Little E' is 8 weeks today. She measured in at 10 lbs. and 2 oz. She was 22 inches long. Both put her in the 45%.

Did I introduce. . .

our newest? E' was born on August 5th. She's doing great and is almost 8 weeks old. Everyone else is doing well too. We have gone through a lot of changes in the past 8 weeks. Here is our list:

New Family Member

New House

G' Started Kindergarten and rides the bus

O' Started Preschool 2 times a week

Mike got a new position at work

Things around the house are still a bit crazy. Unpacking is going slowly and seems to be taking forever. I have three helpers who seem to think the things that are put away actually belong in other places. . .such as the floor. Keeping the house clean, and unpacking/organizing is a never ending task. I just started to photo sessions again. I had a wedding on Saturday and am crazy booked for October and November (like a total of 19 sessions, 1 wedding and 2 wedding assists). I'm also going to be taking pictures for the parks department to use to promote their parks and programs. So thats life right now. . .stay tuned for more.

I need some. . .

motivation

sleep

healthy food

fulltime nanny and maid

less boxes

less whiners

less toys on the floor

a child who wants to do flash cards

a few extra hours in the day

a washing machine that works

a roof that isn't leaking

a dog that stays in the yard

clothes that fit.

I think thats about it. For now anyways.

Church Day.

Sunday we went to church. Some how all three ended up matching and were looking pretty cute.

Tomorrows June.

Here are some random pictures from the past few weeks. M' pretty much refuses to look at me when I'm attempting to take her picture as you can see below. The first two are from the zoo, the one with my parents are from going to a lake yesterday (which was closed due to high bacteria levels :() and last M' not wanting her picture taken.


Tomorrow is June. That might not be a big deal. . .just another month but for me that means things are going to get a little bit crazy. Here is why.

-Mike turns 30 June 8th

-Father's Day

-10 year anniversary

-no more preschool

-water aerobics

-house for sale by owner

-clean house

-grow this belly. . .more.

-nail down what house to purchase

-Parent's will probably be returning to Egypt

July will continue the chaos. . .

-hopefully buy a new one

-move to new house or an apartment

-register G' for Kindergarten once we find out where we will be living :/

Due August 20th but I'm hoping for August 6th.

My Three Loves. . .

I'm turning into one of those blogs where there are no posts for months and months. . .sorry. I hate those blogs. . .hopefully you don't. My busy excuse is getting old, I'm tired of writing it and I'm sure you are tired of reading it. Hopefully this is the start of some regular posts. Maybe short, but with pictures, which I think is often more interesting then the words attached. Here are my three little loves from today.

19 weeks & a side note

Ahhhhh. . .taking this picture was torturous. The kids were running around like crazy and wouldn't stop poking at me. Anyways, this week my legs/hips have been so achy. I think I'm up about 10 pounds. Tonight is the big ultrasound. We aren't finding out what it is but I'll be looking and paying attention to how it goes. I'll give you my best guess later.

On another note; this year is kind of a big one for us. Both Mike and I turn 30. I already did and Mike turns 30 in June. It June we will also be married for 10 years. So because of all those milestones we decided we should take a special trip. My mom will be watching the kids, and Friday we will fly to Cozumel, Mexico for 5 nights. It will be the first time we have left all the kids over night with someone. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and everyone will make it through. . .
