Since the spring...

Since the spring started...
As you all know....Baby Paul has arrived on March 30th. He is now 10 weeks old. He is getting so big so fast, he is starting to smile & make some sounds. He hasn't been feeling to well...we had him in the ER twice & to the doctors earlier this week, unfortunately he has an ear infection and a terrible cough :( We are hoping he gets better fast! We are definitely enjoying him a lot!

Sean Patrick has joined a t-ball team in early May! He plays short stop and gets a great hit every time at bat, the coach now pitches to him instead of him hitting it off the tee! He is the smallest player on the team but he sure is one of the best. He graduated his first year of pre-school on May 25th he now can write his name by himself and recognizes shapes, colors & numbers. He will be playing soccer this fall for the Philadelphia Soccer club. He is looking forward to playing another new sport! He is loving a new baby around and he is sure a big help with Paulie. Although him & Colin are starting to have their moments with each other. They either play wonderfully or they are kicking the crap out of each other! But boys will be boys as we all know how they can be!

Colin is going to be celebrating his 2nd birthday August 8th! We can not believe that he is already going to be 2 years old! He is getting taller & thinner. He is speaking a few words here & there but not talking in full sentences yet. As I was worried about his speech, talking to a lot of other experienced mothers I've gotten some good advice and I've learned that he will do it when he is ready. Besides Sean is his spokesman anyway! We recently had him to the optometrist for his lazy eye, they said he does not need glasses and gave us a couple of patches to put on his right eye they want us to do this for 2 hours a day, we've had no luck with it he refuses to wear it. We are looking to start potty training over the summer and we will see what happens with it. When we sit him on the potty he doesn't go to the bathroom he just rips off the toilet paper, wipes himself, then hops back off. But hey it's a start! haha. He is a very coordinated little boy, he can shoot basketballs and actually makes it in the hoop! He has a great arm when it comes to throwing and he is catching the ball a little more now to. He is getting used to having the new baby around and is starting to socially interact with other little kids his age.

Richie is working very hard at work. He is trying to sell lots & lots of cars. Every month at work he sets goals for himself of how many cars he wants and needs to sell. Bonuses are given when he reaches the goals he had set. Last month he put out 15 cars and hopes to do more this month. He will be celebrating his 27th Birthday on June 26th and his 3rd Father's Day this coming weekend!

As for me I celebrated my 23rd Birthday today ( 6/10) ! My birthday this year was uneventful being Paulie isn't feeling well. But I plan to do dinner with my girlfriends in a couple of weeks and i'll be looking forward to a few hours out of the house! I am enjoying being a 3rd time Mom. Although I find it a challenge to have 3. I was having a difficult time in the beginning I stayed with my Mom for almost a month after Paul was born. I came home not knowing what to expect taking care of 3 little ones while Rich works lots of hours. I'm going to be honest it is rough taking care of Paul in the middle of the night then having to follow through with my day time schedule with Sean & Colin. It's also a project going anywhere, and getting 3 ready to go well ..it's a circus! But I know it can only get easier and I'm putting my best efforts in to raise 3 wonderful boys. Despite the challenge I love them all so much and can't wait for more great times with them in the future!

We recently got a family pet, a cat! I was never big on cats but, she is great, already trained and she's great around the kids. Sean named her Bailey. Im not sure where he came up with it but it stuck!

Well, i'll be updating this thing when I can I hope all is well with everyone & Happy Father's Day to the Dad's!
