Loving life!

It's been a long while since we have last posted on the website! So much has happened since Luke's 1st Birthday! Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Birthdays and January have all come and gone! It's now February and we are making a promise to post more on the website moving forward!

Check back soon and often for Team Saip pictures, videos and updates on our fun filled adventures!

    FAIL

    Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

    It’s Tuesday and I’m on the train to work. I haven’t taken the train in about a week and after an expensive parking ticket, I’m going to be taking it more again. Good Times!

    Team Saip had a great weekend! We were able to spend the weekend with Nana and Papa and had a blast. All the ladies enjoyed Allison’s Bridal Shower (every time I type that I always think Baby Shower and have to stop myself). However, Beth forgot our camera so we only have a few pics from the Shower. FAIL.

    Other than that, I had a great time out with the Boros clan Saturday afternoon. We had the Saips over after the shower and watched the movie Hachi. It’s based on a true story about a Dog and his Master (Richard Gere). Ella loved it and has watched it a few times since.

    On Sunday, we had breakfast with Nana and Papa (actually, the whole gang came) and did some stuff around the house. It was a quiet afternoon until the dog got under the fence and Kiley got up from her nap (wetting the bed).

    This week is off to a good start with work and hopefully is a quick one. We have many plans this weekend for Easter and it can’t come soon enough! Grandma Debbie’s on Saturday and Aunt Eve’s on Sunday!

    Check back soon for a link to all of the professional photos we had taken! I’ve got 300+ posted to Kodak and will post the link later today.

    Last night, Connor met Grandma and Grandpa Saip for the first time! There are some really great photos of them all together on Flickr! I’ve posted the best one below as Connor decided to smile a bit more last night and almost giggle!

    Smiling Baby!

    Smiling Baby!

    The girls will be off to Auntie Allison’s Bridal Shower in Geneva. Hopefully, it’s a blast and the kids are well behaved! I’m going to spend time with the Boros Clan for Pat’s Birthday and then meet up with the fam at our house later this afternoon. Should be a great day!

    Check back later for more photos and updates!

    Last Supper…

    Disney on Ice

    Disney on Ice

    Ok, so the past two weeks have flown by and now I’m back into the office bright and early tomorrow. The past two weeks have been amazing and have let us really come together as a family with our new little bundle of joy! We got to do a lot of cool stuff as a family the past two weeks and Connor fits right in! Be sure to check out all the photos and videos @Flickr!

    This past weekend we had Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue over to celebrate Christmas on Friday night. The girls got some really cool gifts that included an Air Hockey Table! It was a great night to celebrate the holidays. Check out the photos here!

    On Saturday, we had a few visitors in the morning, dance class and the girls took off with Aunt Lori and Grandma Debbie to see Disney on Ice! The girls had a great time and even called to ask for to borrow my Credit Card… ha ha! The snow cones were $15 bucks! Check out the photos from Saturday here!

    Today, we went out to lunch with John, Jill, Jake and Grandpa Mark. Ella is with her dad today for a quick visit and will be back tomorrow morning. Now, I think it’s off to the store to get some last minute stuff for this week and then we will watch the Grammys!

    You should notice some new enhancements to the site with the sidebar. I’ve added a widget that pulls in the most recent 15 photos from flickr! It’s a nice little touch to the site and I’m always looking for more ideas so let me know! Also, added Tag You’re It to the sidebar so that you can filter all the posts by ones you have been tagged in! Have fun finding all the posts and reliving the memories that we have shared together since the blog started!

    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!

    Great Day!

    Saturday, November 7th, 2009

    Today was a great day weather wise and Team Saip did a ton of stuff! First, we went to pre-bowl for my league in Hoffman Estates. Ella, Kiley and Beth got in on the action and bowled a game too. I didn’t do too bad but could have done better. It’s always interesting trying to pre-bowl and keep a good pace going.

    After that, we came home and ate lunch. The girls took a nap and then it was off to Scott and Ann’s. We have a great visit and Julia is adorable. Check out the pics!

    It’s off to bed now to get up early for the Bears Game! We are dropping the girls off at Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue’s bright and early. Then it’s off to tailgate with Allison and Donnie! GO BEARS!

    I’ll leave you with this video!

    Happy Anniversary!

    Sunday, October 4th, 2009

    Yesterday was a great day! The weather wasn’t the greatest and we were a bit tired from Jessi’s wedding on Friday night but all and all it was a great day! I got Beth her favorite – Red Roses! She got me a Bears Polo, it’s love :)

    We went and saw The Hangover at Gold Class Cinemas. That place is AWESOME! I totally recommend it for a night out. Great way to see a movie. Today we are going to start planning for our trip to NY next weekend. We need to find some cool things to do while we are out there. I just hope the weather will cooperate.

    Alrighty, time to hit the shower and pick up the girls from Grandpa Lee and Grandma Sue. Bears game at noon. Bear Down!
