And finally the two girls enjoyed a bit of time together before we headed out.
Thanks for the festitives Rory - and a very
Happy Birthday!

Storytime Spring 2010
Storytime at our local library began today---
and this was an EXTRA special day because today Matteo would be away from Mommy for a class - first time EVER (though he took a farm class with daddy last year - not sure if you can consider that with a parent (hHAHA)). ANYWAY, so there I sat outside the room all teary, as he walked into class by himself, got his name tag and waited for the libraian to read books (he really enjoys the library). Though my heart did flutter a bit when I saw him look back two times. And thanks to Chloe, Sarah and Rory for unknowingly helping me through this first experience.

7 months!
Happy 7 months Chloe May!!!
Our Dear Chloe May has come so far in 7 months - to now sitting up and moving on her belly (backward of course). Most of all she has captured our love and attention to the fullest extent possible. Sadly though we still don't know what color her eyes are ...she is like a camelion in that she changes her eyes with the lighting. As a mother who worries, I wonder what she will one day put on her license. I never expressed this "worry" until another mother - Rory's - expressed a similar concern. Well perhaps by 8 months I will have some happy news to report in that her eyes will have made up their "mind." haha.

gift bags
Sometimes I just shake my head in amazement:
click here
And what I found the funniest was the last paragraph where the woman is saying how she doesn't do gift bags, HOWEVER she is having a b-day party with 80 children!!!! hahaha. Personally, I don't like the whole "gift bag" idea - I mean we are there to celebrate another year of a person's life, a year full of accomplishments, etc. and wish them well as they venture into their next year, but I must admit, I too have fallen victim to the whole "gift bag" - though I must [pat pat] pat myself on the back as I think mine are WELL within budget. For example, for Matteo's first b-day: every child received a $1 ball. POINT MADE.
PS - sadly now you know that this is one of the newspapers i read in bed late at night.

stroller v sling
Another article i wanted to share with you:
click here
While I didn't read this story TOO intently - what struck me as funny - because for the most part it is very true is the last page where they are comparing a stroller mom to a sling mom.
As for me, I use both a stroller and a sling (though prefer the sling at all times, however it is not always convenient) - but am more sling then stroller. Just an interesting read.
