Let's play CATCH UP!!

I have completely ignored the blog for awhile. WOW!!! Let's pretend it is because there is to much going on instead of pure LAZINESS. We are going to play a little catch up game so that someday when I print this all out for a journal it won't be missing June. It has felt a bit like a circus around here lately but I loved every minute of it. I am so lucky to have so many people that love me and my little family. I just wish we all lived closer. My in-laws came the first week in June. We had so much fun hanging out and catching up on our game playing. We ate alot of really good food. I do have to say that I have the best in-laws. They are truely amazing and I love them dearly. The boys loved to see them. Kathy made the most beautiful watercolors for Belle's room. I love them, her talent always amazes me. We all were so sad to see them go and wish they lived closer. Belle had her weight check up and weighed 6lbs. 12oz. My Mom came the second week. It was so nice to be able to just enjoy each other this time. Last time she came she had to be all strong for me and listen to me go through baby blues in the NICU. Aren't moms the best? This time I think she enjoyed it much more. The boys couldn't get enough of her . She woke up a few times in the night to feed Belle and let me sleep. It was so much appreciated!!!! We played, got some projects done, and once again had really good food. Then the Aunties came. My boys love their Aunts. I do too. It was so much fun, but way to short. While they were here Belle shared lots of firsts with her Aunt Tammy. A few of Belle's firsts were: first monorail ride, first Ivar's experience, and first taxi ride. She also got a manicure/pedicure from Aunt Tammy. (I'm missing you right now Tam). And once again way to much good food. There were alot of tears shed when everybody left....poor Tony. The good thing was that Tony started his paternity leave. It has been a blast, I really don't want him to go back to work. School and baseball ended with mixed emotions. We adored all our teachers this year. The rest of the month went by in a blink. The best part of course was Tony and the boys completely spoiling me for my birthday. All the boys went to the Mariners game last night with our friends. They had a blast and were on the big screen about 5 times. They thought it was great. Today was Belle's follow-up appointment with cardiology at Childrens. She passed her EKG and the Dr. said her heart is looking so great we don't have to go back for a whole year. YEAH!!!! I can't put into words the relief we feel. She now weighs 8 1/2 lbs and is 20in. long. Almost the exact size as Kiegan when he was born. We are all doing really great. The boys have all loved having Tony around so much and all the fun stuff he has been doing with them. It has been so nice for all of us. I am so sad the end is coming soon. There we go June in a nutshell, lots of family, way to much good food, and lots of fun with Tony. I know really long and boring but now my journal won't be missing June. Thanks for bearing with me.
