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!

    Up and Ready To Go!

    Thursday, January 28th, 2010

    So, the past two days I have tried to get up and get the girls ready for daycare to practice for next week when I go back to work. I haven’t had the best of luck in doing this as we have gotten there by 8:30 and 8:15 the past two days.

    So, as I sit here and write this from my phone it seems I will be able to get them there earlier today hopefully by 7:30ish. I just want to make sure that next week I’m able to because the train leaves at 8:03 to get me to work by 9am.

    Yesterday, we had a slew of visitors and had a great day. First, Aunt Lori came over and visited for a couple of hours. She brought food as well and it was really good. I love the ranch pasta salad. She got to hold Connor for a good amount of time and he only got fussy once. He’s been really good and was only fussy because he wanted a snack. After Aunt Lori left, Lauren, Sonny, Heather, Ean and Lynda all came over for a few hours. It was a lot of fun hanging out with them.

    Sonny was smiling a ton and cooing when he wasn’t eating! Ean got to play on our play mat an even rolled over a few times before getting mad at Ms. Beth (beths knickname at work). He was smiling a ton as well and even fell asleep on Heather as we sat there and talked.

    During the visit, Comcast came out to fix our new dvr box we have for our bedroom. The DVR functions weren’t working but now we have a box with HDMI. I had a funny conversation with the guy about tennis while we waited for the menus to test the DVR.

    Well, it’s time to run the kids to the sitters. I’ll be posting some photos from yesterday to Flickr. It’s certainly a blast from the past now that friends from birth are having babies!

    Busy Day!

    Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

    All is well here in the Saip house hold. Today we had a very busy day of running around, and Connor was a trooper through it all. Matt dropped Ella off at daycare this morning, and boy was she excited to go. She was definitely ready to see all of her friends! Kiley didn’t go until later because we had Dr. appts today for her and Connor. We dropped Gizmo off at the groomer before heading to the Dr.

    Both Kiley and Connor checked out well. We saw our favorite Dr. Sommerfeld today. Connor gained 9 ounces in only 6 days. He is now up to 8 pounds 11 ounces. He also grew at least 3/4 of an inch. The nurse had to measure him twice, so I am not sure if either measurement was accurate. We don’t have to go back with him until his 2 month check up. Kiley now weighs 28 pounds and is almost 3 feet tall. She really hasn’t gained much in the last year, but continues to be at about the 75% for both height and weight. They say you double a girl’s height at the age of 2 and that is what they will be as an adult. That is almost 6 feet tall. Matt wasn’t too happy about the thought of Kiley being taller than him.

    After the Doctor appointments, we ran a bunch of errands including driving all the way out to McHenry to pick up another DVR cable box so that we could record my shows upstairs, and Matt wouldn’t be stuck watching them. Brat! It will be nice having two boxes though. Connor and I did a little grocery shopping while Matt stayed in the car with a sleeping Kiley. The lady at the checkout thought I was nuts for being out shopping so soon after having a baby. Any of you that know me, however, know that I can’t sit in the house for very long. We ran a few more errands, picked up the dog, and the girls, and very quickly, our first day where it was supposed to be quiet with just Matt, me and Connor. turned into a crazy day of running around. Such is the life around here. Never a dull moment.

    Well both girls are sleeping, Connor is sleeping….you would think that Matt and I would be sleeping too, but no. For some reason, no matter what we plan on doing, we don’t go to bed until 11:30 or 12 every night lately. It is going to be very hard to get back into our normal routine.

    We are up for visitors if anyone wants to stop by and see Connor as long as you are healthy of course. Tomorrow we have Aunt Lori stopping by in the morning and a visit with Lauren, Linda, and baby Sonny in the afternoon. Can’t wait! Jared might even stop by tomorrow night after work as well. Another fun busy day!!!

    Saturday Night

    Sunday, January 17th, 2010
    Sleepin!

    Sleepin!

    Team Saip had a good Saturday Night! Daddy actually got up throughout the night with Mommy and Connor. That will make up for the few times I slept through on Friday Night when Beth needed my help. We did have to have Beth call my cell phone to get me up – Hey if it works it works! Don’t Judge, ha ha!

    Connor would get changed, eat and then pass out for a couple hours. So, Beth and I actually got more sleep this way. I even jumped in Beth’s bed with her and was able to get better sleep with the three of us in the bed than on that cot. The nurse was great last night and didn’t get in our way. We aren’t sure why the night time nurse’s are always the best!

    I’ve posted more pictures and will be updating them again tonight. I didn’t go as crazy yesterday and today (so far) which isn’t a bad thing. We will get plenty of pictures once we get home and have Auntie Jess come out and take professional photos of him next weekend! We can’t wait!

    The end of a long weekend…

    Sunday, July 5th, 2009

    We celebrated the fourth with family and friends here at our house. The weather cleared up just in time for a BBQ. Butcher on the block has the best brats and stuffed mushrooms by the way! We started out playing bags on the wii but did get a few games in outside. John and Robert (Eli) were the reighning champs! We ended up going to see Eve 6 at the fest in Crystal Lake. I now know why they haven’t been popular since high school. We had a good time, but the band sucked if you ask me! The girls even partied til almost 10:30. They both passed out mid concert…guess they though Eve 6 was lame too!

    Today was the laziest day ever! We spent the whole day watching movies with the girls! It was nice to just be at home and relax for once. Matt did take the girls in the pool for a little while tonight so at least we made it outside sometime today. Well I am lucky enough to still have tomorrow off, but poor Matt has to go back to reality tomorrow. We hope all of you had a great holiday weekend!
