Happy Father's Day!

By -
I know I skipped my birthday, Mother's Day, and our anniversary (what with all the throwing up), but now I would like to think the best days are ahead so back to posting about holidays and life events. 

Oh happy father's day to some of the best dads I have ever met: Bri, My dad, and my father- in- law (who I couldnt find a picture of!)

Bri is a great dad, really Michael hero worships him. He would rather have daddy over mommy any day. He wakes up every morning asking "Daddy here?" He tries to spend every waking weekend moment with Brian, he bosses him around all day long. And lucky for him Brian takes it with a smile. 

When I met Brian and heard he wanted to be an accountant I thought, "yeah I could see that", I could picture him as an accountant, but as a dad, it wasnt that I didnt think he wouldnt do a good job, it really was just that I couldnt picture us as parents, cause seriously I wasnt ready for that moment. Anyway, but when MIchael showed up (it wasnt like he was dropped on our doorstep) he stepped into the dad role almost as quickly as the accountant role. He was great, is great. I think that he might adore Mikey almost as much as Mikey adores him. Mikey is lucky to have him, no really lucky. 

It would be nice if i had taken some good pictures of the two of them recently, but I havent so here are some photos of mikey's favorite things:

swimming, he much prefers swimming with daddy to swimming with mommy. 
 He loves slides, and parks, but doesnt always love going down alone, this is where daddy comes in.
 He loves wearing his daddy work hat. about 50 times a day he tells me he is "working", usually he is wearing his work hat and hammering with his little hammer. Not sure what he thinks daddy does for work, but my guess is something with tools. I tried to explain that daddy counts money, but I guess that didnt sink in.
 again with the swimming. do you like that they are both wearing glasses, cause he needed to be like daddy.
 yeah this is walmart and he is in his pjs (we are just that classy). Daddy is nice enough to buy ice cream cones and let him eat them in the store....
Mikey has two awesome grandpas, neither of which he sees enough, but he loves them both. 

I can only really speak for Poppy as a dad since he is my dad and he is what I know. Mikey loves Poppy, almost as much as daddy, really I have been voted off the island. We video chat with Grammy and Poppy most days right before bedtime and every day mikey asks "poppy available?" he has little to no interest in actually talking to him, he just wants to hear him. Oh mikey. He is Poppy's little buddy.

Merry Christmas!

We are planning on having a very exciting Christmas at our house this year. We are super excited to announce (to all three people that read this that have already been told) that we are expecting another baby! Yay, the due date is December 22nd, so it is possible that we will actually have a very exciting Christmas, though in all honesty I am hoping for something more around the 16th than 25th.  We had an ultrasound today, and a few things. First off, I think this kid is going to give his/her older brother a run for his money. The ultrasound tech told us this was the most active baby she had ever seen, my response was pretty much, well you should have seen Michael 2 years ago. The baby is healthy, but... crazy. She had such a hard time taking measurements with all the flipping, flailing, and somersaulting. Pretty sure this kid is going to have to be so crazy to keep up with Mikey, but pretty sure that 2 years from now I am going to be exhausted. Even though it is a little b...

Baby Zach is Here!

Baby Zach is here! Zachary Henry December 16, 2013 8:41am 6lbs 14oz 20.5 inches Sweet guy, he seems so tiny compared to Michael, and so so tiny compared to how big Michael is now. I think he looks a little bit like Michael, especially his mouth. He has less hair and his eyelashes are lighter, but he is still adorable. I know he has the newborn grey eyes for now, but they look lighter than the pictures of Michael at the same age. I am curious to see what he ends up looking like in a few weeks! The three boys. I can't believe we have two boys! We have to have one token labor picture. And as there is only one this is the one that gets posted. More on the labor later, but let's just say I wasn't loving life at this moment, waiting for the doctor to arrive was the longest half hour of my life, but we made it so yay!  So these are out of order, but this is Zach right after he was born. He was very quiet. He cried initially, but after a minute he calme...

Genius Idea

By Ashley -
So I have this idea, I think it is brilliant, and I am really hoping someone reads this and 1. tells me someone has already done it and where I can access it, or 2. someone steals my idea and does it close enough to me that again I can access it. Ok so here is the idea, first let me describe the situation. You are a parent with small children and it is a cold/hot/rainy/snowy/windy day/, someone is contagious/your kid fell asleep in the car/your kids are having a meltdown and taking them out of the car and struggling with the 5 point harness might kill both of you and you need milk from the grocery store. Normally you would try and get it at a better time, send a spouse, live without, etc, but you can't because you need milk (or bread or eggs, pick an essential item), so you have an internal debate... am I going to risk it, am I going to pull them out of the car, run in, find the item, wait in line, and come back and struggle to get everyone back in or are we going to live without...
