Finally a few minutes to post....

Life with a newborn and 19 month old is busy!! And seeing as Don is going back to work tomorrow, I expect it will get busier. We are stilll on a borrowed camera, so I need to get onto the other computer to put up some pics.
We are all doing great here, finally!! Bell had a stomach virus for a few days, and it seems Don caught some of what she had, so both were under the weather - but are doing well now.
Austin has been making good use of the pool and his last day of school is this Friday!! Of course this week is a carnival day, class trip to the waterpark down at the beach, and half days. Friday he is having a few friends over for a "last day of school" get together. Then he is ALL MINE for the summer, boy do I have plans to keep him busy!!
Don got a new TOY last week, a pressure washer. We have been talking about it, and truthfully really needing one for awhile now. He started doing the deck on Saturday and it looks GREAT!!! It is going to look like a new deck when it is done and stained, and since we have totally neglected it for the past two years, it really needs it.
Bell is loving the new baby, and is such an empathetic little girl, always has been. She hears Angelina cry and she comes right to me. "Baby Lina crying" she says and then pats her back, or whatever part of her she can reach and says "it OK". She loves to give her kisses on the head and just be close to her all of the time.
Angelina is our little Angel. She is such a great baby!! Nursing wonderfully and sleeping great as well (OK, that probably just jinxed me to an all nighter tonight!!). But really she knows night from day it seems and is doing her longer sleeps at night. We went to church this morning and she slept straight through in the pouch on mom, and then got ooohed and ahhhed over by everyone after Mass. That is one of hte great things we love about our Parish, everyone knows you. And I don't remember if I posted about Don and the Knights. The powers that be have decided to split off a new Knights of Columbus council for our church (our church is a mission church of Saint Johns, and technially we are only one parish for both churches). So guess who was elected Grand Knight (the highest position within the council) - yes, Don!!
So this coming year should be a full one, with him taking on that poition (three big boxes showed up with all his "paperwork" this week!), and I am staying on a Treasurer for Austins schools PTSO and also will be co-leader this year of the Mothers and More group, which I am very active in.
Well, that's it for now, I need to go type a letter for Don before both of us getting to bed for what I'm sure will be a full Monday for both of us.
More to come soon...
