Rundown

Well, we've had a busy, but very fun week here at our house.  Here's the rundown:

Friday-Sunday: 
We went to visit with our good friends Jon and Justine!  We stayed with them for the weekend and then went to their baby shower cookout on Sunday!  It was great to see them and so fun to celebrate the upcoming birth of their son (our Godson)!  Anna also started crawling while we were there, she'd been close, but she did it for the first time Saturday night before bed.

Monday: 
We hung out as a family.  We lounged around, took a walk in the park, and just spent some time enjoying our little family.  We then had my parents and sister and her fiance over for a cookout.  It was really nice!

Tuesday:
Back to work!  The little guy I watch has finally adjusted to being here every day and boy is he fun!  Him and Anna talk and play all day long and I LOVE to watch them play!  I also love to play with them!  Anna was very proud of herself for finally being able to crawl after him.  She's slow, but watch out, she's determined!  RCIA started back up Tuesday evening.  It's going to be a fun year, so far we have around 7 candidates, but that can change at any point. 

Anna also had her 6 month check-up.  She's now 17.6 pounds, 26 inches long and the exact same percentiles that she was at 4 months.  75% for weight, 55%  for height.  The doctor was quite impressed with her develoment and said she's a picture of health!  Yay Anna!  Her shots didn't really bother her this time either, so all was good!

Wednesday and Thursday:
Well, pretty normal days but busy in the sense that I take care of two babies all day... And now that they're moving, they're into everything!  I cleaned the house during naptime on Thursday and feel caught up now.  Then I went out for Mom's Night Out which we do monthly.  I've left Anna with Jeremy for the last 3 months or so, but always after she fell asleep.  Last night I left before bedtime and she did great!  That's the first time I've left her that she hasn't spent the whole time screaming.  It was nice to get out and know that she was smiling and snuggling with daddy!

Friday:
Luke left early today to spend the afternoon with his mom and Anna's taking a fantastic nap so I'm enjoying some much needed relax time.  Catching up on blogs, shows that I've DVR'd and a short nap!  Tonight we're going to do some furniture moving in the basement, have waffles for dinner, and watch a movie, since we have a free rental.



This weekend we've got a birthday party a little guy who I took care of at daycare and lives a few houses down.  He was extremely attached to me whne he was in the infant room at daycare and we see them all of the time since we live so close!  He always invites us to his birthday parties and I can't belive he's already turning 3!  Quick funny story about him, my mom and I worked in the same room at the daycare.  So one day his mom, sister and him stopped by as they were taking a walk and my mom happened to be here.  He said, "Oh, look, it's the other Ms. Karen!" referring to my mom... Since then he's asked about the "other Ms. Karen" every time he sees me!  Hmmm, think we look/sound alike?

Then we have my sister's bridal shower on Sunday and the first Bears game!  Anna has a jersey that's a little big, but it will work and Jeremy cannot wait!! 

And I love this weather, please stay like this for a long time!  Fall is my favorite time of year and 60s-70s are absolutely wonderful!
