Busy Busy

Well, we have done a lot in the past few weeks! Beth turned 30, Ella turned 5 and started kindergarten! We enjoyed ourselves at Dan and Sarah's wedding this past weekend as well! They are off to Aruba and we are jealous! We loved our honeymoon and would do it all over again!

Labor Day Weekend will bring us to St. Louis to visit the family and head to a Cardinals game! Hopefully they will start playing better ball leading up to our game! Check back soon for more updates!

    Catching up!

    Saturday, August 7th, 2010

    It’s been a busy few weeks! Since the Cardinals weekend, we have helped John and Jill move, attended Nathan’s 6th Birthday, worked my last week at Americaneagle.com and went to Jake’s 1st Birthday Party! We’ve posted a ton of new photos and videos on our Flickr account!

    Hopefully, everyone reading this caught that I worked my last week at Americaneagle.com. I recently received an offer from Digitas that I couldn’t pass up! I start on Monday, August 9th and it’s going to be a busy first week! The office is on Wacker and Michigan in Chicago. I’ll be taking the train in every day and can’t wait to join the team! I would just like to say thanks again to everyone at Americaneagle.com that I worked with! It was a pleasure working with everyone over the past 4 years!

    One last thing, we had a great day today celebrating Jake’s 1st Birthday! It was fun hanging out with family and friends! We have some really good photos on John’s camera (let’s just hope he gets them to me in a timely fashion)! Our favorite moment came when Jake and Connor were on the play mats together. Jake took Connor down (in a playful way) and then gave him kiss! Connor proceeded to kick him and knock him over. It was pretty cute to see them interact with each other! They are going to pick on each other all the time. I caught most of it on film so I’ve included that here as well.

    Check back soon for more updates! We have a busy few weeks coming up!

    Welcome Home!

    Monday, January 18th, 2010

    Team Saip is home from the hospital! We got home around Noon today and the girls were SO excited to meet their new brother. I took a few videos and a ton of photos. We have had a great afternoon with them and just celebrated Kiley’s 2nd Birthday with a cake.

    Connor has been a sweet little guy since coming home. Let’s see how tonight goes! ;)

    Connor’s Birthday!

    Friday, January 15th, 2010

    Connor Lee Saip arrived today at 12:46pm. He is 8lbs 4 oz and 20 inches long. We are so blessed to have him here with us now! Thank you to everyone for their help today and this weekend. We are grateful for everyone’s help with Ella and Kiley! It’s strange not having the girls with us this weekend but it’s what we have to do so we will make the best of it.

    Beth and baby are doing great right now and he is nursing at the moment. He has also been sleeping in his crib as opposed to on Mommy or me. We want him to be able to sleep in his crib so that we don’t have him in bed with us unless it’s necessary. We learned from Kiley Bug!

    It was great to see everyone who made it out today and look forward to seeing more people this weekend! Check out the posted pics here for a glimpse of Connor Lee Saip!

    Two Days!

    Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

    We are only two days away now from the birth of our son! We couldn’t be more excited at this point. It’s always fun to talk about it with Ella and Kiley! The other day they were putting babies under their shirts to be like Mommy!

    The only bad part is that the girls still won’t be able to visit us in the hospital. I truly wish that they could be there before and after he is born. We will just have to take ton of pictures and I’m going to try and hang out with them for a few hours each day. I really want to take Ella to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks Movie. I know she would love that.

    Everytime I think about Friday, I get more and more anxious and excited. It’s a wonderful experience and I can’t believe we are so lucky to have another . We are so blessed to have Ella and Kiley and adding Connor to the mix is going to be great!

    Yesterday, I was talking to a few clients and had great conversations about Friday with them. Dan from the Bears was giving me workout tips to get Connor in the NFL. He said the quickest way to the NFL is to be a Long Snapper! I’m sure we can try and make that happen :) He also mentioned it’s an easy way to get a college scholarship. That would be awesome too! I am wanting him and his cousin Jake to play pee wee football as I never did. I’m sure Osol, Schmidt and Fletcher will be willing to teach and train him!

    Gonna run and head into the office. Be sure to check back soon as we will be updating the blog as much as we can over the next few days! Allison joked that we should do a live feed on Friday – who knows we just might! Ha ha!
