Bye Bye Grandma

Grandma B left yesterday after spending a few days with us and we were all so sad to see her go, especially Ethan. (He was in tears because he really wanted to get on the airplane and go with grandma.) We had a fun time though. We went to the zoo, the park and the Franklin Conservatory to see the butterfly exhibit. But mostly we just hung around enjoying baby Molly.

Beautiful Butterflies

We all went to the Franklin Park Conservatory to see the butterfly exhibit and it was beautiful. I loved seeing all the different kinds of butterflies and how beautiful they really are up close. Surprisingly though Ethan, who normally loves spotting butterflies when we go on walks, was actually quite nervous around the butterflies. I think it was partly because of their size and the fact that they were everywhere. Or maybe because they would flutter right up by your head or swoop in out of nowhere, but it was funny to watch Ethan jump and run away screaming when one got too close. I never would have guessed he would be afraid of butterflies. He did however love the fish, and after we left he talked about how much he liked the butterflies for the rest of the day, so at least I know he wont be having nightmares. The other cool part about the conservatory is the Chichuly sculptures that are on display. They are pretty amazing.

"Just call me Doctor"

Congratulations Scott!!! My hubby just finished his very last day of Medical school...Forever! I'm so proud of him. It was a lot of hard work and long hours and he is so relieved that it's finally over. No more paying $100 a day to go to school. I wish I could say no more call but unfortunately it has only just begun.

4 weeks, 8 hours, & Trains

Molly is 4 weeks old today and the time has flown by. She is such a good baby, especially because she is already sleeping through the night. For the past week she has been sleeping for about 7 hours at night but the other day she slept for 8!!!!!! So as long as I feed her right before I go to bed I get a full nights rest, which I desperately need. When Ethan was a baby he would wake up exactly every three hours which wasn't bad at the time because I just had him to take care of. This time around I'm so happy to have such a good little sleeper I just hope it is a trend that will

continue.

Ethan loves trains so we went to Homestead park to play and enjoy the beautiful weather we have been having lately. It was such a nice day and Ethan had a fun time at the park.

Molly just slept the whole time.

Reflections of Christ

My sister-in-law sent me this link and it is so amazing that I had to share it with everyone. The images and music are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Watch this video with your family, it really brings the spirit.

Stickers anyone???

Ethan loves stickers (if you can't tell by the picture.) He usually prefers to have them only on his hands but yesterday he ran out of room, so they ended up in a few other places including on myself, Scott and even Molly.

Also a few of you mentioned wanting to see more pictures of Molly. Well last week my amazing and talented cousin Darcy came and took pictures of my sweet little girl and they are really cute. If you want to view them check out her website at the link below.

Thanks Mom

My wonderful Mother left to go back home yesterday after a week long visit and we miss her already. It was so nice to have her here to help out, and my house has never been cleaner. We especially loved all the fun presents she brought. Although it was a pretty boring week just basically sitting around she was such a big help with Ethan and Molly we wish she could have stayed longer. Despite Ethan's face in the picture he had a lot of fun playing with grandma and keeps asking when she is coming back. Thanks for everything Mom we love you.

This is my Day

I remember doing it when Ethan was born, I just sat and watched him sleep all day long. When he was older I remember thinking, "how could I just sit and stare at a baby all day long, especially when they are just sleeping?" Well I'm doing it again and I LOVE IT!!! I love just holding her and staring at her. That is, when I can get my hands on her. Most of the day she is with her daddy. Scott has nicely informed me that he is in Love with another woman. I suppose if it was anyone else I would be jealous but I love watching the two of them together. It is pretty cute how smitten he is by her and can you blame him. I think she is so perfect and I especially love it when I can get her to smile.
