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!

    Sox Win!

    Tuesday, June 8th, 2010

    6/6/10 – White Sox (8) vs. Indians (7)

    This past Sunday, we took Jake and Connor to their first Sox Game! It was really for Uncle Donny’s birthday and boy did we all have a good time! The Sox won the game 8-7 and we got a few pics with Connor’s new buddy – Southpaw! We got to the parking lot around 11am after a rough patch in the car with Connor getting hungry all of a sudden. The little brat did it too on the way home! Cooked brats, played bags and enjoyed the beautiful weather! The game was a great one with Konerko hitting a HR right when we got to our seats in the bottom of the first. Quentin won it for us in the bottom of the 7th.

    Overall, great game and good times with family and friends! Can’t wait to do it again as I think our next game is at the end of July with the family at a Schaumburg Flyers game. Oh yeah, don’t mind the Cardinals hat in the pics (I need to get a Sox hat).

    3 Weeks!!

    Friday, February 5th, 2010

    I can hardly believe that our little Con man is three weeks old today!! It has been a great 3 weeks and has gone by SO fast!! He is growing like a weed! He was already up to ten pounds as of this past Wednesday. Connor is a really good baby. Sunday night he even slept 6 and a half hours straight. He of course hasn’t done that again, but I am hoping that that was a sign that he will be a good sleeper eventually. Last night was a little rough as he was up for several hours for no reason in the middle of the night. If he wasn’t so stinkin cute, I might have been upset.  :)

    The girls have gotten into a good routine of getting up and getting out of the house with Daddy in the morning to go to day care. It has been a little weird to be home without them here, but they really need the routine and would be so bored here at home. I have been enjoying my time alone with my little guy! He is so sweet and cuddly! I think he is a momma’s boy already! We only stayed home all day Tuesday, but have done some running around the rest of the week. I am not one to stay in the house.

    Wednesday night we had the Raders family over for a visit which was really fun! we can’t wait for the arrival of their little girl. Yesterday, Connor and I went over to Grandma’s house for a visit with Auntie Marsha, Savannah, Landon, Nana, Papa, and Grandma. We had a great lunch and enjoyed our visit. Happy Birthday to Auntie Marsha! Today, Connor and I had lunch with Grandma, Jill, and Jakey as well as did a little bit of shopping. Connor isn’t as great of a shopper as the girls are.

    This weekend we are busy with getting our taxes done and haircuts for Ella and I tomorrow, and a small get together here for the Superbowl on Sunday. Should be a great time. I am rooting for the Saints as I am a Drew Brees fan from my days at Purdue. I am sure we will have many  more pictures to post after the weekend.

    I can’t believe I only have 3 more weeks at home. It is going to go so fast!!

    Sunday!

    Monday, January 18th, 2010

    We just wanted to make a quick video post from Sunday! We had a great day with little man. He didn’t get bugged at all today and was able to sleep. A lot of family and friends came out today and it was good to see everyone.

    Grandma Debbie and Grandma Marsha did the kid swap in the hospital parking lot. The girls were sleeping and it was good to see them for a few minutes. Ella convinced Grandma Debbie her coat was reversible and its so not. Ha ha. We were able to iChat with the girls again today. Beth and I even talked to John and Jill for a little bit.

    As for Connor, he did have a good day but his eyes are a little swollen. You can’t see it in the professional photos that were taken at the hospital but in my photos you can. The dr said it could be a reaction from the ointment they put on his eyes after he was born. Hopefully, he will wake up tomorrow and they will be better. As I was writing this, Mommy’s milk came in and he wasn’t ready for it while nursing a minute ago. First spit up event!

    Check out @Flickr for more photos from today!

    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!
