getting ready

What a busy few weeks it has been.  We had a wonderful 2 week visit from Matt, Stacey, Lily, and Sofie! We were able to get family pictures, have some wonderful fun, and just hang out.  Nico has been sad that his cousins are gone and misses them something terrible.  Today he said "mommy, can I play with Lily and Sofie"?  I told him they went back home and he said, "I want them here with me all the time".  What a sweet boy.  It is great to see him loving his family.

Casey and I have also been very busy with work.  It feels like there's so much catching up to do and so little time to do so.  We still have a lot to do in the next few weeks. Nico will be turning 4! soon and we are trying to get his party together.  Also, believe it or not, I have about 7 weeks left until our baby girl is here!!!  I can't believe it, but it's true, she will be here before we know it.

This weekend the plan is to make sure everything is in line for Nico's party, organize and get rid of the toys that Nico no longer uses, start painting the room for the baby, and just get ready.  We have a lot to do in the next few weeks to be ready, but I know we can get it done.

Enough about how much I need to do and let me tell you about the wonderful baby shower the ladies at work gave me!  It was a great surprise and just perfect.  They decorated a conference room with pink balloons, banners, roses, and streamers.  Also, had delicious food and desserts to die for.  And, to top it all off thoughtful presents piled up high.  They really took care of me and got me thinking... I need to get a move on!  I couldn't ask for a more wonderful work family.  Thank you all!

Below are some family pictures!
