A Lazy Saturday to catch up!

Hi Everyone,

It has been crazy week so blogging has been the farthest thing from my mind. Well, that isn't really true - I would have rather been blogging than doing much of what I was doing but you get my point. We have an appointment on Tuesday to meet with the surgeons and make a decision about Peter's surgery - it sounds like they have two options and both are pretty good - better than we expected. Annie, Lzzie and Ellie are finally feeling better and there are fewer boogers in our house these days! The kids have 39 days of school left - according to my son - so we are hard at work figuring out some plans for the summer. Uncle Scott gave his notice as our manny so Tiffany is coming back for a few months before she starts her summer job in July - that will give us time to find someone just perfect to take care of the kids while Bob and I work. In the meantime Bob and I will also adjust our schedules as much as possible so that the kids are not tossed around between different babysitters. We have a crazy few months coming up between my traveling for work and the kids end of the year activities and, most importantly, Molly is making her 1st reconcilliation and Peter is making his 1st reconcilliation and his 1st Communion in May - we are so excited! Annie is officially enrolled in preschool at Noah Webster for the fall and hopefully will be enrolled in irish Step Dancing, too - we are going to be driving all over the place next year but I can't wait to see how Annie does at all of her different "big kid" activities, as she calls them!

Everyone always tells us how much Annie, Lizzie and even Molly look like my Mom and Auntie Kate when they were little. I found this picture and didn't see too much of a resemblance.
Thn I found this one and was amazed! I think Lizzie looks just like her Bammy! I also love seeing the food on the table and the milk jug - so cool!

Molly and Lizzie having some fun together - Molly was tickling Lizzie so she could hear he laugh. She does have a sweet laugh and we are really anticipating what her little voice is going to sound like!

My beautiful daughters bonding!

Auntie Meg took this one of Annie on the potty - too cute!

Lizzie is very interested in what Annie is doig on the potty!

Uncle Scott took the girls outside and even took lots of pictues for me! We are going to miss him so much!

My big girl!

Lizzie close up!

You can tell we have a male babysitter - he is great about lovign on the kids all day but when it comes to clean faces and hair out of their faces - he is a total man!

Close up on Annie!

Most of the pictures of Ellie I couldn't bear to put up because she had such a gross (booger filled) face! Good thing she is adorable!

Lizzie is ready for service!

Our little Buggy climbing on the slide!

Annie loves the slide!

The babies don't look too happy but I still love these pictures - how cute is our little baby train?

Kind of funny how they all collapsed on each other!

Lizzie was getting too much attention for falling asleep on the couch so Annie joined herand tried to pretend she fell asleep too!

Our litle ladybug was so exausted and realxed after her tubby that she feel asleep on the couch in the middle of dinner time chaos!

I love those perfect piggies!

My peaceful little angel!

Not much more to report - Auntie Beth comes home in less than a week so Molly is hard at work cleaning her room and making plans. The time she is not with Auntie Beth we will be celebrating Abby's 6th Birthday - how is that possible? We have lots of fun stuff planned for Auntie Beth - the waffle maker is fired up (Molly thought waffles for breakfast with fresh fuit and whipped cream was a good idea) It happens to be Molly's favorite so we hope Auntie Beth likes it! Then we have makeovers planned and a dance party and all sorts of other fun stuff - we can't wait!

GNM - ILY!
