Yay for Tori being healthy! Boo for getting Shots!

Tori had her 2-month well baby visit this morning. We are happy, healthy, chubby and in pain from receiving four shots. She handled them pretty well, but its still no fun to hold your baby down while the nurses poke them with needles. The up side? She will probably sleep a little more than usual today. Yay for sleeping babies!

When we arrived at the doctor's office, Andrew walked into the waiting area, looked around and said, "Doctor?" Mark confirmed, yes, we were at the doctor's office. Andrew proceeded to inform Mark he didn't want to be there. "No!! No!!" Mark reassured him we weren't there for him, but for Tori. He decided that was fine; better her than him! I guess that means when it really is his turn, I'm going to have to fight to get him through the door. *sigh* Oh well!

Yay me!!

I managed to get quite a bit of the kitchen packed! I'm feeling very accomplished this evening.

And with that, I am headed to bed.

The summer goes so quickly...

I have been entirely too spoiled this Summer. God was (and contiues to be) gracious to me when it comes to my kiddos and my husband. Tori was a surprise, but she couldn't have been timed any better if we had tried! She was born right at the end of Mark's school year which means Mark has been home all summer with me. He plays with Andrew nonstop while I'm nursing or changing or playing with Tori. We trade off now and then and I get some quality time with my boy while Mark gets a little face time with Tori. Very rarely do I end up with both kids on my own. The house is a mess right now because we're packing, but, other than "moving clutter" it's clean; only because I have help. I'm WAY out of practice of being at home all day without him here. The next several weeks are going to be exciting, but are also going to be a huge adjustment for us. Andrew will have to adjust to not having his wrestling/tag/baseball/coloring/reading/everything buddy home all day every day. I'll have to adjust to taking care of Tori with one eye and one ear on Andrew. And, no doubt, Tori will have to adjust to a little more "crying it out" than she's used to. But it's exciting because Mark is starting a new job at a new school and we're moving into a new apartment (with a dishwasher! Wahooo!!) closer to family (free babysitting! Wahoooo!) and friends (play-dates and a real social life! Wahoooo!!). Plus, we'll get back into our day-to-day routine...whatever that may be. While the summer has been nice, I think we're all ready to move on.

Here we go!

Well, almost everyone I know has a blog, so I figure I might as well start one, too. I'm good at keeping up with emails and Facebook and My Space, so I should be good at blogging, right? We'll just see about that! If I fall behind it won't be for lack of material--I'm a mommy so there is always something amusing going on at our house! It will simply be for lack of time. However, I will do my best to post something--even if its dull--every few days. Who knows: I might even post a picture or two!

For now, I'm going to head to bed. Both kiddos are asleep but we never know how long THAT'S going to last!
