Mothers Day, Return to work, receital, yada yada

So...not too much is new in our house, except Charlie's already growing up way to fast..I think the older they get (i.e. the girls) while it's noticeable that they are growing up, when it's a baby, it's right there in your face, they change every day and seem to get bigger every day...

Charlie weighs over 13 lbs now (well according to when I step on the scale with him, but judging from his upper thighs I would say that's accurate) he's smiling and talking more and more everyday..Much better at his head control, which is a good thing, given that he has a huge head..he's starting to like tummy time more and he has graduated from the bassinette to his big-boy bed! He's doing a little better at night, he usually goes down around 8:30 -9 p.m., makes it till 1 a.m., eats for about 20 minutes and then sleeping till 6 - 6:30 a.m., I can deal with this schedule and hope he sticks with it, when I go back to work on Wednesday am., because I'm not quite sure how I'm going to function if he gets up anymore than that! He's still an awesome kid during the day too, sleeps for 1-2 hours, gets up, plays, eats every 3-4 hours, and then back to sleep, pretty easy going personality... We love him, and can honestly say now we don't know what we did without him, and are just so grateful to Heavenly Father for blessing us with the opportunity to raise Charlie.

The girls are great, had their dance receital May 2nd, and they all did a fabulous job!!! We are anxiously awaiting the end of the school year, 18 more days and then we are free till Sept. 1st, yippee! The girls are hopeful for a warm summer, so they can spend lots of time swimming in Grandma & Grandpa's pool, thanks to Daddy we have a HUGE garden to weed (actually 2, if you count the 1 by Grandma's) we plan to have lots of fun but work comes first!

I had a wonderful mothers day & hope you all did too! I started breakfast but Jerod soon got up & finished it for me, we played Uno Attack with the girls in the afternoon, Charlie gave me lots of kisses & smiles, the girls got me some potted flowers from school and made me beautiful cards, and last...I got to take a 2 hour NAP!!

Work starts on Wednesday for me, I'm sad but excited..I do miss the pre-k kids and the staff that I work with... The great news is that school is done on June 5th and my last day is actually the 4th because the classroom I work in is done on June 4th, so it won't be soo bad and then I have all summer to snuggle Charlie!

Wishing you all a warm, fun & Happy Spring!
Love, Michelle & Crew
