She also sat up for 30 seconds by herself yesterday! James tried to catch it on camera, but as soon as he told her to smile, she fell right over! Lol She’s rolling a bit, but only from back to front and has slept through the night twice this week! Mama LOVES that!
Coordinating Easter outfits for the three kids has proven to be a chore! As much fun as dressing a baby girl is, it is also a lot of work! I couldn’t justify buying her a new dress, as she already has 7 dresses in her size, so I picked one and tried to match it to some new things for the boys. I have had the hardest time finding a cute bow for her head that matches a baby blue dress! I got lucky at The Children’s Place for the boys’ things, only to find out in the mother’s lounge on Sunday, that all 3 of the other moms in there had purchased their boys’ Easter outfits there as well. It should be cute – not only will my three children match, but probably the whole primary! hahaha Pictures next week for sure!!
Ah, the joys of being a stay-at-home mommy. I get all wrapped up in stuff like matching Easter outfits and it seems so... well unimportant- "Fluff." Each daily chore a little less exciting than the last and sometimes I get a little down when I look at my week – Monday: Grocery shopping, Tuesday: Housecleaning, Wednesday: laundry, and so on…, but then I’ll have an “aha moment.” For example, Annabelle will have a goofy grin and her first meal of rice cereal all over her face and I’ll realize that I LOVE my life. I wouldn’t trade it for money or fame or even a brand new $5,000 wardrobe (I’ve been obsessed with “What Not to Wear” lately)!! Some days I think my job is the most thankless job in the world. But, I LIVE for those little baby girl squeaks and grins, Charlie’s funny raspy voice and humor, and Dillon’s new reading, math and social accomplishments!
James and I celebrated our 9th anniversary last week. That is another milestone, I think! I’m so lucky to have a great guy. It was one of the best anniversaries ever, even though we didn’t do anything really special- just dinner and we even had the baby with us for that. It was just fun to be together.
Happy Easter everyone!

So tonight the school had a Match party at Aunt Chilatas and I got to see Melanie! I haven't seen her in about 2 years so it was really fun to get to talk to her!
Congratulations on 9 years!! and also on the Easter coordination! I tried to mix and match my kids this year too! I usually go to the children's place because they always have matching stuff, but I tried something new this year, so we'll see!!
Hooray for milestones and "aha" moments...they make it all worth it. Congrats on your anniversary. You two are so great! Can't wait to see your Easter pics!
Your little Annabelle is SOOOO cute! Congrats on 9 years with your hubby!
