My Baby is 7!!!!




Brynn celebrated her 7th (when did she get that old?!?!) birthday this weekend! This year's coveted gift was a bike ... she's just getting her balance and whatnot, but so far she loves it! Julia is content to sit in her stroller and just watch big sis pedal :) Brynn had her party at the gym where she has gymnastics ... lots of neighborhood friends and kids from her class attended. Nobody told me when kids get to a certain age parents just drop the kids off and you are officially in charge of 14 screaming 7 year olds for the next two hours, like it or not ;)

My little baby turning 7 has me in one of those awful reflective mom moods. You know how you revel in your little baby getting bigger, more independent, more like the wonderful person you hope they grow into ... and then you remember this means you are older ... much older, than say oh when she was in diapers and you still counted as part of the under 30 crowd. Maybe there is something to be said for teenage pregnancy? Just kidding ... but I am feeling my age. I can't help but think how nice a mini-van would be now that we have 2 :)

Anyhoo, We finally have warm weather her in York. I think we missed Spring this year and are just going into ungodly hot. I just need the summer now ... I definitely need the break, and I just want to spend some time with my kids when I don't have to worry about getting homework done (mine or Brynns!)

A huge shout out to my friend Cortney who just sent back in their LOA for their gorgeous daughter Meilyn!!!! Meilyn is one of Julia's buddies from Wenzhou ... I am soooo excited for you guys!!

And if everyone in the cyber world would join me in hating my friend Peggy, who left for Hawaii today ... without me. Peggy you b!tch :) Oh well, at least you have your kid with you, how much fun can you possibly be having ;)

Happy Easter!



Julia's first holiday at home! The girls are getting along beautifully and Brynn is so happy that Julia will finally play with her. My brother, Bryan, and his fiancee (?) Mary-Beth stopped by today. They gave the girls these wonderfully loud toys as easter presents, which they love. When they have children of their own, I will return the favor in spades. For your edification Bryan and MB, parents don't give other parents children a) playdough, b) noisy toys or c)noisy playdough toys. :)

We've officially been parents of two for a whole month now!!! And we have the bags under our eyes to prove it.

Deb, I saw the pics of Ellarie on the boards ... omg she is adorable!!! She looks like she's settling in so well!

Cortney, any word yet? I've been meaning to write you with my 100 useless suggestions but seem to have no time for anything any more. (Except maybe poopy diapers!)

Finally, it is Easter and I don't think it broke 40 degrees today. I am ready to move to CA :)
