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 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!
What a great Thanksgiving! We made it into St. Charles around 4:30pm yesterday and the girls did great in the car. We had great food waiting for us and the whole family was at Grandmas. We played a few games of Scrabble and had a great night.
The Seilers had to take off a little early for their second thanksgiving dinner at the country club but we will get to hang out with Sammy and Tanner all day today. I know Ella and Kiley love playing with the boys.
Ella is currently helping Grandma out with breakfast (animal pancakes)! She loves making animal pancakes and is now making a baby turtle. After breakfast, we are heading to the bowling alley so I can take Dad’s money.
After bowling, it’s off to Aunt Teri’s for dinner and movies. She always has something up her sleeve so I’m sure it’s going to be a ton of fun!
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!
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!
