Big Boy!

Hard to believe, but Matteo is all grown up..sleeping on his own big boy mattress (on the floor in our bedroom).

Camping

Just enjoying the outdoors with our Dear Chloe May..........

and not sure what brought on this unexpected camping trip, but once again Matteo requested to go camping with Jules Friday night......



which simply consists of him using his Santa Claus blanket as a bottom sheet and spreading it on the floor. But can i tell you ....Mommy LOVES when the two of them go camping..it means I have the whole bed to myself...which in this case lasted until 5:15 AM at which point Matteo woke up and insisted on eating breakfast :-)

small wonders

Hard to believe 2 weeks ago at this time, our Dear Chloe May was still just a dream..........

and surely our house did not get THAT much smaller with our new addition, however Matteo clearly is running out of room to play (still making good use of our chair Gramps)!

Life is good.

2 3/4 and one week old - - life is good.



and no Grandma, they don't sleep together, this was just a photo opt and they are both posing :-)

Miracles....

Here on Tall Tree we received the most beautiful card today and inside the message was as sweet as could be - - -

"Miracles are worth the wait."

All day today I reflected on this simple yet sweet message and realized how true it truly is. I only wish I did not begin to run short on patience around the 1st and 2nd of August before relizing how truly close we were to our Miracle.

Thank you Adel for pointing out the obvious.

Oma and Co.

Our weekend fun didn't end on Saturday.....

Oma .......

Aunt Lois....

Poppi Lou

and Uncle Frank all came to visit Matteo and his Little Sister Chloe May.

Visitors!

With the work week behind us, guess who came back to visit....GRANDMA (of course Gramps too, but a picture of Gramps awake just isn't as funny as those of him sleeping!).

And Chloe is clearly recovering from the birth, as is Mommy still.
