CINCO


She's five months old, and can I just say, she gets cuter by the minute! She is seriously the happiest, best behaved baby ever! We went to dinner tonight with some friends, and thru 80% of the night, in a NOISY atmosphere, she slept. The other 20? Happy as a clam! Smiling and looking around! She's such a little sweetie pie! I can't believe I get to be her mom!! I'm so lucky!



Big brother when he was 5 months old. They look so much alike! I get that comment all of the time. And that she looks like my sister did when she was a baby, AND that she looks like Tayler. It will be really interesting to see what she looks like as she gets older. She'll be beautiful, I'm sure. :)


In other news. My mom had surgery on Wednesday on her right knee. Both of her knees need to be operated on, but they're only able to do one at a time. The surgery went off without a hitch, but the recovery has been a little uncomfortable. I'm praying she starts feeling better soon. She'll have to have the other knee operated on in ab out 6 months or so, and I think she'd dread it less if this recovery wasn't too awful. In the mean time, we're visiting her, and trying to take her mind off of her pain.

The royal wedding was today, and because I'm working night shift right now, we were able to watch it last night at work. It was really neat to watch history be made. I made the comment last night about how when something big like this wedding happens, you usually can remember where you were when it happened. And, for a lot of things that have happened, I've been at work!!!!!!! I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing!

Too COOL



Last night we met some friends at Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and games. I thought it'd be nice and quiet there since it was a Wednesday night....but, I'd forgotten one small detail...it's Spring Break. So, it was pretty packed. But, despite all of the people there, it was still a lot of fun. And, the kids came away with some really cool new shades.

FOUR

She's four months old!! And she is a big girl!!!1 98th percentile for length and 59th percentile for weight. She was 14lbs today, and I'm trying to remember her length, but I want to say it was 26 inches. Long and lean, just like her Daddy, and her big brother! Every day with Elin is more incredible than the last. I feel so lucky to be her Mama!
Seeing Carson at four months, and noting how drenched his shirt was, I'm remembering what a little drool monster he was at this age!!! Elin is starting to get a little drooly, but nothing like her brother was! At least not yet!!

I need your support!


I am participating in the MS Walk next month, and I need the support of a couple of more people to meet my goal! Every little bit helps! As most of my friends know, this is a very important fundraiser to me. I was diagnosed with MS in 2005, and am determined to do what I can to make sure that I see a cure for this unpredictable disease in my lifetime. I would love nothing more than to make it so that my children, or ANY other person for that matter, never has to endure the trauma of an MS diagnosis. So, if you're able to, please make a donation! Go here to help end MS!

Beautiful


Not sure what my deal with the quotes is lately...but here's another one I love......

"Not flesh of my flesh, nor bone of my bone;

nevertheless, still your own. Never forget for a

single minute, I was not born from under your

heart, but in it"
