Happy Birthday Amelia!
Friday, June 29, 2012 •
Amelia had a wonderful first birthday party. We were so lucky to be joined by our NS family and friends. Her Godparents (Laura and Dan) and little cousin Sarah made a trip down from NB to be here with us. Our Official Family photog, Andrea captured these great shots. Austin refused to cooperate so he's not in these but no worries...we've taken more!
What?! June's over?!!
I can't believe that it is Canada Day weekend.
This past month has flown by in a blurr and I feel like I've been so busy that I'm not sure I've managed to capture every moment possible. Adjusting to the new normal hasn't been as hard as I thought it would in some respects. We've fallen into arelaxing routine that goes a little something like this:
12:05am- Amelia wakes up
12:07am- Baby still crying...stumble in dark, pick her up, bring her to bed
12:10am-5:29am- toss and turn, trying to keep from rolling over on Amelia
5:30am- alarm goes off. I smack G in the head just like a snooze button
5:31am- Snooze button doesn't work (what a surprise) G gets up
6:00am- G nags at me to get up
6:10-7:25am- Passes in a blur, comforters wrestle as I get Oz up, little socks, shirts, shorts and cloth diapers fly through the air and somehow we all manage to get to the car, looking somewhat presentable, and head to the Elly Day Care
At 7:30am I drop my babies off and pull myself away to head into the city. I think that is the hardest part of my day...Amelia is up in my friend's arms and blowing slobbery kisses at me. I try to make my goodbye short because I just make it worse the longer I stay. So with one last hug and kiss from each little, I get in our car and focus...on getting coffee...seriously I envy those who do not depend on that steaming hot cup of java to start the day...
Once I'm at the office I hit the ground running and the days are flying by. (There is so much to do and if June is any indication, September will be here way before I want it to be.) Then 4-5pm comes and I'm flying back to my littles. The evening is full of feeding, washing, reading, tucking the littles in and then sitting down to the sewing machine, giving up and going to bed when my eyes start to see crocked.
And here it is Friday night. I'm finally getting a chance to write and feed my pinterest addiction. I've got some great things planned for this weekend and I can't wait to spend 3 full days with G, A1 and A2 and a great group of friends. I'll catch up with pictures, videos and fun stories... Here's a little something to keep you interested!
