Primrose School Pictures - Fall 2013

Who forgot School Picture day for the Littles? This Mom. Yep, I think it was the first day Daniel went back to preschool after having his tonsils out. I was just so happy he was feeling better I must have spaced out on the actual day. It looks like they took Ana's picture twice. In the Siblings photo she has on her "I Heart Nana" T shirt. At least the yellow matches the stained shirt Daniel was wearing that day. I swear we drop more cash on school pictures....

Primrose School Pictures - Fall 2013

Ana's Second Birthday

Ana's Second Birthday

Happy Birthday Baby Girl! We celebrated Ana's birthday twice this week. Once on Wednesday, her actual birthday, and again on Friday Evening with family. Stephen, Gracie, Mary Alice, Tyler and JP came over for dinner, cake and presents. So far it appears that her favorite gifts are the baby stroller from Nana and the box of stuffed puppy dogs from Grandmommy and Granddaddy. She looks like such a big girl now!

King Charlie the Football Safari Superhero

Lately the kids have enjoyed playing dress up.  They will disappear into the basement for a while, then emerge as some mashup of the myriad of costumes we have acquired over the years.  Ang and I haven't seen some of the items in years, so it's always a surprise what they come up with.

Today Charlie came up to me and proclaimed, "I'm a Football Safari Superhero!"

Patron Saint of Fathers

Charlie's religion homework, make a saint card for next week (All Saints Day). He picked Saint Joseph immediately. I asked why and he said, "because he is a daddy, Jesus' daddy!" I melted :)

Mom's Babymoon - I mean extended work trip

A two week training class for IBM? Ugh. No wait... a two week trip to Tampa with a weekend in Clearwater beach. Okay! Officially I am 31 weeks along with Baby Michael and this will be my last work trip before he makes his appearance. So this is my working babymoon. I wish that I didn't have to be away from Chad and the kids for 11 days straight! But spending yesterday with a icy drink, a good book and the view below was very, very nice.... Thank you to Chad and Nana for running the ship back home. Now lets hope I can finish up all of the training and work required while distracted by the beautiful weather, ocean and sand. At least the view from my hotel desk is nice.....

Happy Momma, relaxin'
