After today's earlier post I'm running short on time so gonna hit you all up with the Cliff Notes version of my week and Easton's 21st week of life (plus I'm sure you're in need of a break from my ramblings...it's really a win for both sides).
1. Went back to the doctor for E's 2-week weigh in after switching formula. Result = zero weight gain. #momfail So...it's on to two servings of rice cereal and an extra bottle @ night. Recent culinary explorations include sweet potatoes and avocados - both a smashing success! (VIDEO BELOW)
Yea, I want that, quit asking and FEED ME
Thx, Dad.
On second thought...just give me the dang spoon
Enter "sibling" rivalry
Such a tease...
2. It's the start of the NFL season so Jace taught Easton a little about his favorite hobby...
Discussing the finer points of the fantasy draft...I'd restrict
it to football BUT I do believe Jace even has a fantasy
cricket team so keeping the lesson general
Oh yea...we're ready...
3. Since last week's mastery of the "back to front" Easton's added two new tricks to his bag...
WHOA...Sleeping on his belly! = CUTE
WHOA...flipping over IN HIS SWING!
CUTE...but not cool :(
***No worries, I was watching this entire thing happen so he was safe***
4. Saturday marked the 1 year anniversary of my dad's commissioning!! To celebrate the event he spent the weekend in Tucson in his dress whites...HA! So I just tried to link back to the post I wrote on my Dad's ceremony and OMG I never wrote one...WHAAAAT? Now I remember I just posted to photos to Facebook and called it a day...#daughterfail. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day - it was super special :)
Before the ceremony...no rank, no name tag, no big deal ;)
Dad & his big brother Terry (ex-Navy pilot)
National Anthem
Administering the Oath of Office - yea, I'm a cheater :(
We did it, we did it!!! :)
Coolest pin-on EVER
Sign it away, LT. ;) Now it's official
One of my most favorite pictures of all time :) LOVE
Easton Douglas Anders - 3 days old More pictures @ http://www.our365.com/ He's here, he's here!!! Jace and I welcomed our son Easton Douglas to the world this past Saturday, April 16th at 4:22 PM and we couldn't be more proud. It was an awesome experience...not so much in the "incredibly cool, can't wait to do it again" context but genuinely in AWE of how mother nature and modern medicine can work together to ease a woman and efficiently deliver a baby. Before I tell you all a little bit about our story (again, no worries, I won't blast all the nitty gritty across your screen) I must say a HUGE thank you to our staff at Winchester Hospital. Though I know not a single of of those doctors, nurses and other staff members will read this they will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the outstanding service and love they showed all three of us!! They exceeded any expectations Jace and I might have had and just had to throw that out there. ...
Jace has been in MN since Thursday braving the cold with Team Franchise at the 2011 US Pond Hockey Championship . The team made it to Sunday again this year but unfortunately couldn't get by the "Pulled Hammies" this morning to advance to the finals. Better luck next year, boys! :( So, since he's been gone I've been catching up on projects around the homestead since it's been so damn cold outside. On Thursday night I scanned in about 80 old family photos that I had received over the years from my Aunt Kathleen. I decided to do this because I'm building an online baby book for mini-Ma$e and you can add pictures - thought it'd be fun to add some old family photos. Anyway, I won't overload you with too many but here are some of my favorites...the rest can be viewed here . Moving on... Friday started off with another snowstorm - excellent. Hanscom was open for business...well, that is, for everyone ex...
We just got back from Trunk or Treating at Easton's daycare...how flippin' fun (and pretty roarsome as Henry Hugglemonster would say). Mr. Blondie waiting for the trunk or treating to begin! Still figuring out that the chocolate must be unwrapped first. No hurry to explain :) Homeless Lion with a Market Basket bag. Score one for the parents. Some pretty creative pumpkins!
Thanks for the tip on the Garden Lites! Kathy
