Things are going well here and I'm continually amazed at how sweet this new little love of mine is. I can't believe I spent so much time worried that I wouldn't adore this little man as much as I do my girls. I really didn't think I'd have any clue what to do with a little boy but I have to say having a boy baby isn't too different from having a girl other than the obvious differences and the overall absence of whining and crying. How come nobody told me boys were so easy going? Anthony is so laid back that I'd be prefectly content to have more just like him.
I have so much I want to blog about so I will hopefully be able to find some time in the next few weeks to fill you in on what we've been up to. Here are are few highlights.
Madeline completed her first year of homeschooling and she managed to finish up the year a full three weeks before the kids in public school finished.
Ellie will be joining us for school this year. When I re-enrolled Madeline for 8th grade we also enrolled Ellie for 4th grade. Can I tell you how excited I am that we're done with the public school? I know Ellie is excited about homeschooling, too. She seems to be telling everyone about it.
I think Katie has adjusted to having a little brother for the most part. She still has moments here and there where she seems jealous but overall she seems content to have a real baby in the house.
Anthony was baptized on the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. I couldn't resist having him baptized on the feast day of his patron saint.
VBS took place last week. How I managed to pull off coordinating VBS this year while pregnant/having just had a baby will remain a mystery. All I can say is I have some amazing friends and family members who all helped me out tremendously. Last week was great and I enjoyed seeing all of the kids having a great time.
Anthony had his 2 month well visit last week. He's growing so fast. He's 12 lbs 11oz and 23 1/4 inches long. He's already outgrown some of his 0-3 month outfits and is on the verge of outgrowing the rest. It's crazy! Between 6 and 8 weeks old he went from looking like a newborn to looking more like a three month old.
As if having a new baby and running VBS wasn't enough, we also had a birthday party to plan for yesterday. Ellie turned nine yesterday and we celebrated with a Frozen pool party. I can't believe she's nine already. It's amazing how quickly time passes. It doesn't seem like that long ago that we had just moved into this house and celebrated her second birthday and already she's nine years old.
So I think this wraps up my little highlight tour of what we've been up to this past month and a half. I hope to be able to put together a post about Anthony's baptism and Ellie's Frozen party later this week. I have a lot of pictures to share and I was so pleased with how well Ellie's party came together that I need to tell you how easily everything came together and why I'm convinced that I must get a die cut machine. (Hint: Look at the snowflake decorations in the background of each of the birthday pictures.)
