New Years resolution

Well, it seems that my New Years resolution has for the last 15 or 20 years been to shed those extra pounds, this year is no different I still need to shed those extra unwanted pounds, i feel like 100 hundred of them. The toll of three pregnancies and three small children has def taken its toll on my figure. There is less time to work out then there was before and my mind had more space for worrying about what I was putting in my mouth. I eat, most of the time without thinking about it. I am usually so busy that I pick here and there and it is what I am picking on and the fact that I am no longer in my 20's that has led to the extra weight. So this year I am going to try to embrace a two part resolution. Part 1: lose weight. Take the time to work out a little every day, to watch what I eat more carefully and to feel more comfortable in my skin and my clothes. Part 2 : this is where I am going to be more positive about life and try not to worry so much about the little things. To just enjoy life and my boys to the fullest and to remember that the glass is half full, not half empty.
So Happy New Year Everyone! and here is to seeing your new year unfold the way your heart desires.

Christmas eve

Here is Henry, happy, healthy and ready to embark on the festivities of his first Christmas!

911

SCARY! Henry was rushed to Dupount Children's Hospital in Delaware by ambulance on Saturday morning, December 18th. There is nothing so heartbreaking as seeing your 2 month old be strapped, carseat and all, into the ambulance. It was quite an experience and one that I do not hope to repeat any time soon. Henry was seen the Thursday (2 days before) before by his doctor. However, Saturday morning he did not look quite right to me so I thought that I would take him to the local medical center or walk in clinic. I figured the co pay was worth the peace of mind. It was there that they tested his oxygen levels and took chest x rays. He was only breathing at 83% and his x ray showed pneumonia in his right lung. They immediately hooked him up to oxygen and called the ambulance,, he was working too hard to breathe and eventually he would have tired himself out to the point of no return. They were wonderful men, they talked to me the whole way and kept the conversation light, they were very reassuring and calm on such a scary ride. Henry was admitted to the hospital and given antibiotics, we then moved to 3E. This was to be our home until Tuesday morning when we were released. I have nothing but good things to say about the people at Dupount, they were absolutely wonderful!
To all the moms out there I say trust your instincts no matter how silly they may seem. You know your children better then anyone out there and you know when something is not right, go with it. It is the best thing I ever did and I will never doubt them again. I cannot even imagine what the outcome would have been if I had dismissed them as needless worry. God bless :)

Gingerbread house party

The boys and I were invited to a friends house for a gingerbread house making party. It has become a kind of tradition and was so much fun! The kids did a fabulous job decorating their houses and playing and it was nice to get some adult time with good friends. This is one tradition that I hope continues :)

X mas Concert

Here is Jack at his first ever Christmas concert. TOO CUTE! All the pre k-ers were dressed in their Christmas best and sang their little hearts out. How can you not feel the spirit of the holidays :)

Survived

Well I did it, we did it. I successfully got one husband out of the house by 6 am and three little boys dressed, fed, packed and in the car by 7:30. Not too bad if I do say so myself. The children were at their designated spots by 8 and I was at school by 8:10. Not too bad, I even had 5 min to spare before I would be late. It was a good day. I cried all the way to school but once I was there I was good to go. The kids missed me, it was nice to be welcomed back. It will take us a few days to get back into our groove but I am confidant that we will all be there in no time. Thanks to everyone for your support and encouragement, it was much appreciated. I was home with all three little ones by 5:30 and then it was dinner, baths and some cuddle time on the couch with the 25 days of Christmas. A pretty good day! :)

And we are off

Here we go again, back into the hectic schedule of life. Wish us luck! Hopefully there are not too many tears and I am not too late my first day back :)
