February 2010... Family of Five



I know I haven't blogged in awhile...
Busy month.....to say the least... lots to do...


This last weekend we went to the Kids Edison Parade with some friends....
The weather was chilly.... but the kids had a blast....Emy loves, loves, loves the swing.....She says.... Weeeee! She also had her first lollipop.... she wouldn't let go of it for hours.... but didn't really eat it....

Casen was quite the explorer and all over the place....
My curious little boy.... picks up every rock.... twig.... stick.....Our friend Ben and Jack watched the parade with us from the wagons and then ran around the playground and field with us. Casen and Jack loved the marching band.

This month we spent a lot of time at home just hanging out and enjoying our newest edition....
Cooper enjoys napping in his cradle....Napping on mommy and daddy's bed.... napping in the swing.... napping in my arms.... We are for sure falling in love with him!

When we are at home the twins love hanging out in the playroom.... we have converted our dining room (temporarily) into a playroom... I must admit... since I am home with the kids.... and spend much of my time playing.... it is a beautiful room to spend my time in!

One of our favorite things to explore is books... We are loving the books Nona and Paca bought us.....


After all of the excitement the last few months.... Greg needed and deserved a much needed treat....this month Greg had the opportunity to go to the Super Bowl.....Yes... my first night with the kids... without Greg....
Greg and his father enjoyed the game from end zone seats in front of the game day crew....
They had a blast....He so enjoys spending his love of football with his former NFL playing father!

We took our first family of 3 outing this month.... We played at the covered playground until we could play no more.... On the way home all the children slept... what a peaceful drive....Below are some pictures from the play ground.....

This month I also had my post delivery check up.....Below is a picture of Cooper.... posing with the doctor who delivered him.... Dr. Shimp (the doctor on call).... and our good friend.... neighbor..... guardian angel.... and delivery nurse.... for all of our children.... Eva....(on the left)

We also had our first family picnic at Lakes Park..... Daddy and son ran around checking out some very interesting pebbles and hills....Daddy eventually sat... but Casen ran and ran and ran.... all afternoon....

Emy just hung out with mommy close to the blanket....
while her older (by one minute) brother explored and her younger brother,
Cooper.... slept through it all....
And when we got home.... he slept some more...

It is so hard to believe that just four weeks ago..... our lives changed... our family grew.... and we came home from the hospital.....
Belo are pictures from the day we welcomed Cooper home....
They include first feeding and nap at home....
and the morning we left the hospital.....


What a busy month for us.... and I have a feeling it is not going to slow down..... The kids will be starting back to school soon.... and Cooper will grow just as quickly as they did.....
Amazing.....

We feel very blessed and thankful for all of the wonderful things we have in our lives....

Some other wonderful things that have happened this month.....
Greg is still celebrating his Florida Board Certification Test..... a feat that we are very proud of him for....
The continued good health of our children....
and
I am finally feeling energized and starting to feel better physically again.... after being pregnant.....I think I may even start to workout again soon.....

Well we hope all is well with you and your families.... thank you for all of your support and love during this time.... We truly have amazing friends.... all the gifts and meals were so greatly appreciated......
