Grandparents Galore!

This month has been absolutely crazy! I think I have been away from home more than we have been here! This past weekend was no different! We were on the road again to PA. This time was due to a class I took. To keep up with my OT I take some continuing education classes. Fortunately, with the help of my parents and Aunt Laurie, I was able to take a 2-day course while they babysat the kids--thanks to all of you! This weekend was even more special because Grandma and Pa came to visit as well. Jake was so excited to see them and they were just as excited to see him and Lindsey. They had a great time together!

Forgiveness

Last night when I came home the babysitter told me there was an "incident" and I thought "injury." There was no injury just a broken plate. I don't know exactly what happened but I know that a special gift I was given was broken in pieces and I was really sad. Today, I fortunately found the person that made it and she is willing to make me another. I am thrilled. I was so upset with Jake but I do know that having kids means stains on rugs and couches, crayon marks on the table, grass stains on pants, and yes, broken dishes. At the end of the day, all that matters is our health and well being. I forgive him and love him!

Sooo Big!!

Lindsey had her 6 months check-up today. She is in the top percentile for height and weight, good that they balance each other out! lol She is 19.7lbs and 27 1/4 in long. She is developing perfectly and right on target! After we picked Jake up from school we grabbed lunch and went to the playground on Post. Lindsey went in the swing for the first time and loved it. I didn't have my camera with me, I left it next to the computer! Darn...next time!

The Zoo!!

I was so glad that Monday turned out to be sunny! Not that warm, but sunny! Jen Voss, Jen Chalton, and I headed to Syracuse to the zoo with the kids where we met up with Beth and Lucy! It was a great day. The kids were well behaved and the zoo wasn't crowded with any school kids. It was a perfect day with friends!

Happy Mother's Day!!

Sunday was a great day! We went to the Commons for brunch with Lisa and her kiddos. The food was really yummy although with a bunch of kids together, I hardly remember savoring it. BUT it was super fun and a great Mother's Day. I also got 3 homemade presents this year. Thanks to Daddy, Mrs. Puccia and Aunt Laurie. They were awesome, I love them! So Happy Mother's Day to my mom, Mom C, Grandma Castana, and all the other moms out there!

Lindsey-guilt

So I am feeling a bit guilty. I put so many videos of Jacob on so I will now have to get a few of Lindsey on here. She is growing so much each day and I have to share some video of her! Check back soon!
