My Life as a Mama with CF

Hello everyone! Today has been day #3 in the hospital for me, and all is well on the western front. I am starting to feel better already and even got a crossfit workout in as well as some time on the exercise bike! As promised, here are more pictures (most of them are from September, I still have quite a bit of photos to share before we catch up to present day!)... Giovanni's birthday cake and cupcakes!  This is Giovanni in September...he has changed so much since then! Having fun in the laundry basket!  I got St. George's feast day mixed up with St. Gregory's feast day...So we enjoyed a dragon cake on the feast of St. Gregory...  Sportin' her new outfit from Aunt Sue! Squinty eye like mommy! Look at that hair!   Brother and Sister having fun! Alida made herself a little mustache :)   Alida covered daddy i...

Hello family and friends! Yes, I am FINALLY adding something to the blog! Here are just a few pictures from Giovanni's birthday, Adam has the rest on his phone so I'll have him send them to me so that I can add those as well :) Giovanni had a fun time at his party! He wasn't quite sure what to make of the cupcake at first, but once he stopped trying to shake the frosting off of his fingers and put it into his mouth, he quickly devoured it! Thank you to everyone for sending gifts and prayers for our little man on his big day! We did receive a present in the mail from Toys 'R' Us with no note, so we're not sure who it came from...please let us know so we can thank you!  Giovanni is doing really well, and gaining mobility everyday! He can now army crawl, pull up on anything and everything, and has even started cruising along the furniture! He still won't sit without falling over, but it seems to be that he prefers to lay down or stand... ...

Hi everyone! These pictures are from late August-early September! Enjoy! Giovanni's first meal!  While Giovanni ate his rice cereal, Alida painted on the table with some old oatmeal I found... This 7 month old is sportin' his 2T hat! This is after blueberry picking with some friends, we were so busy picking berries that I forgot to take pictures until we were finished! You can see how red faced Alida is though, we definitely worked hard! Sick day for Alida, luckily it was only a 24 hr thing :) Our happy little boy! Enjoying the great outdoors! Having fun on the slide! Giving her dolls a bath Having fun with braids! Eating hotdogs in style! This picture makes me laugh, he is too cute! Alida made a caterpillar with her poof balls, I thought that was pretty neat! Looking good in orange! Slurping soup with a straw! Our silly kids! First day on the new job! Your lookin at St. Joseph...
