Lots of Pictures

We will start with Mary in the car bed.  She was too short at first to fit in the infant car seat so the hospital rented us this. 

I was still very happy to move her into the real car seat.  She looks so little.

Tummy time!

Lia is not to be left out.

Becca and Lia got there hair done for the dance, even though Lia wasn't going.  Don't they look beautiful?

All our beautiful girls.


Going to the Daddy/Daughter Dance.

The boys wanted to have their picture taken with Mary too.


I love it when she's asleep.


Sisterly love.
This is my yearly St. Patrick's Day photo shot.


I have no idea what George was doing but he came upstairs dressed like this.


Snuggle time with Dad.









All in all, we are doing pretty well around here.  Last week, Mary weighted in at 6lbs 7oz for her 1-month check up.  We have cut her caffeine intake in half and will cut it out completely on Saturday.  Then we keep her on the monitor for a couple more weeks and hopefully be done with it.  She's sleeping like a champ (6 hours the last two nights!) and eats, poops, and enjoys her crazy family.

Cub Scouts and Other News

We've had a busy month already.  Last Sunday, our Cub Scout pack celebrated the Blue Gold Banquet with some friends from Star Wars. 


This was also Mary's first public viewing.  















Before they played, Mike passed out awards to almost every boy in the pack. Patrick was the only boy to advance a rank, excepted all the boys who moved up to Boy Scouts.  He has decided he wants to be an Eagle Scout and did a great job staying on task to get his Webelos.  We are very proud of him.

 This week Mike was also awarded the Wotamalo District Pack Leader of the Year!  He and I, along with Mary, went to dinner for the presentation.  Mike goes above and beyond for the Scouts and deserves some praise for it.















My mom was here helping us out for almost three weeks (thanks Mom!) and managed to get some great pictures.  Here are Mary and Lia looking cute.

I love this one.
My attempted at selfies with girls. 

I love the green tongue.

Mary meet one of her grandfathers this week.  My dad was very smitten with his youngest grandchild.



Becca also read a petition at Mass.
















We've made several trips to the doctor to check weight and Billi Ruban (Jaundice) numbers.  Yesterday Mary weighted in at 15lb 13oz, finally up from birth.  The Billi numbers,while okay, are not as low as we'd like.
