Week by week

I think we're surviving, but sometimes I'm not so sure.

Jeff and I had our 4th Wedding Anniversary, but it was our 10th Anniversary of meeting each other! These are the beautiful flowers he came home with...

She's waking up

Here are some shots of Molly from yesterday afternoon, when she was just hanging out for a while.

And here is Johnny playing with Grandma Linda's sunglasses. In one of the shots, I think he actually resembles Katie Holmes...

Molly Grace

She's here! She joined us on Sunday, April 6th at 1pm, and weighed in at 8 lbs, 10 oz. We're doing well, all things considered. Molly's Great-grandma passed away yesterday, a few hours after meeting her great-granddaughter. So now Molly will have a special angel looking out for her.

Circus

Johnny found a few of the Easter Eggs that the Bunny hid, and has a love for jelly beans now. Smart kid!

We went to the Big Apple Circus on Easter, and Johnny had fun until about intermission, when his "Go home??" pleas got more and more urgent. We had a nice time while we were there.

Ready to pop?

This was from Easter, 4 weeks before my due date. Any day now!!!!

Baby's Room

She's due any day now (April 22, but she'd better be here before then!) and we've been working hard to get her room done. Well, maybe I should say that Jeff has been working really hard - he's replaced the windows and put in such wonderful molding all around the doors, the windows, the entire room.

Plus - he shocked me one day recently by hiring some artist to paint adorable flowers all over!

As you can see, we've chosen Molly for her name. If she pops out and is a boy, we're in biiiiig trouble.

The longest month

What have we been up to in February? How about passing back and forth some horrible cold virus, which I've started referring to as the plaugue. First Johnny had it, then me, then Jeff, not Johnny has it again. I'm on antibiotics for a sinus infection, and Johnny's on them for an ear infection, but he ran another fever last night and is just suffering so much today. Thank God for Motrim, but his nose is just running like a faucet. The nurse said he's most likely got a virus on top of his ear infection, so expect a nasty cough and maybe some messy diapers.

I'm guessing that next up is me getting sick again, and then it'll be Jeff's turn. Last time we thought we were dying, so I can't wait to see how this time goes!

Here are some pictures of Johnny from a few minutes ago, lying on the couch, watching Teletubbies.

These Boots are Made for Walking

I bought these snow boots at a consignment shop a few months ago for probably $7, but every time I tried to get them on Johnny, he fought me tooth and nail. Until Saturday morning, when, for some odd reason, he willingly wanted them on. I got him strutting around on videotape, b/c he was clomping around so hysterically that I never wanted to forget it.

And when I grabbed the regular camera, he was more than happy to pose for me!

Christmastime

Some pics from Christmas Day and the parties that surrounded the holiday. Johnny had fun opening presents, and held up well seeing everyone. I think he got used to seeing his grandparents every few days!

Grandma's Birthday

Johnny, Connor and Alex had fun helping Grandma celebrate her birthday.

Mommy's Helper

As I was cooking dinner, Johnny was helping me wash dishes. I wasn't paying close attention, and I hear, "Mommy?"
