April 2011

Well it's about time, I know. This thing called life tends to get in the way of blogging! To say that life with two kids is busy, is quite the understatement of the year. But.... I finally feel like I am starting to get the hang of this. Stella is doing so much better with eating and sleeping which makes things easier. Currently she still eats every three hours during the day and has her last feeding of the day at 7. She is in bed by 7:30ish and sleeps till 4am. I'll take it. At her two month check up, she was doing great. She weighed 11 pounds 3oz and was 22 inches long. The day she had her check up, we were visited by Sarah, Lincoln, and her mom Peggy. We had a short, but GREAT visit and I am reminded everyday of how much I miss my best friend, but cherish the time we spend together!

The day after Sarah and Peggy left, I hosted an Easter playdate for 12 kiddos (9 boys, 3 girls) which was so much fun. They hunted eggs inside that day since it was about 50 degrees out, but overall I think the kiddos had a great time, and I know the moms enjoy having time to socialize!

We are finally settling into the new house and are working slowly but surly to get all the rooms together. We just ordered our sectional for our family room, which won't be here for 6 weeks or so, but we are making progress!! We celebrated our first holiday in our new home, Easter, which was so much fun for Gage this year. (An for us parents who get to watch his excitement as he hunts Easter Eggs and opens his Easter basket.) Gage had so much fun Easter morning hunting for eggs and playing with some of his new toys in his Easter basket. We went to church that morning at 10, then went to an amazing brunch with friends after.

I know that sometimes I am over whelmed as a mom of two but I seriously don't think I could love three people more than my hubby (who has been absolutely wonderful lately) and my two wonderful children. I am so blessed!

Here are few pics of Easter and our recent activities.
