3 Months Already?!?

Technically, Emelia is 13 weeks old. OMG! It's been 3 months since she was born. What a wild ride thus far. Emelia is close to being completely scheduled and predictable. Believe me...I had NOTHING to do with it. She did it all on her own. She has changed so much in such a short period of time. By far, I think she's been our largest baby. Yup, I think she even surpassed Taylor in size and weight at the same age and T. was born 15 ounces larger. She definitely surpassed the boys when they were 3 months old.

November 4, 2010

I have been back to work for a week now and as much as the work processes have changed, the work itself is still the same. My mom and I are taking week by week to see how Emelia and I do being together while I am working. We are trying to keep her with me as long as possible before I can no longer handle working and having her by my side.

During my leave we were able to take a family vacation to Disneyland. My mom and aunts went with us and we had a blast.

The whole vacationing crew. These gals also traveled with us back in May 2009 when we went to Orlando, Florida. It's so nice to have many "Nanas" to help watch over our kiddos!

Emelia's first picture with Mickey Mouse!

The kids got to attend the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party. They came back with a TON of candy! See what I mean. This is all of the 3 kiddo's candy from just that night. Yes, this bag is FULL of candy!

The kids had a lot of fun this Halloween. They got to trick or treat 3 times this year. Once in Disneyland, once on the evening before Halloween and again on Halloween night. The NW YMCA was having their annual Trunk or Treat so we decided to take a chance and attend. There were huge crowds of people. Many of them waiting to get in and out of the parking lot. It's a good thing we arrived early and found a primo spot because as soon as we left, someone snagged our spot. On Halloween night we went trick or treating in Aunt Rosie and Uncle Perry's neighborhood and the kids again scored a lot of candy.

This picture is the night before Halloween taken at The Bottle Shop. Anthony created his own costume and dressed up as Commander Cody from the Halo video game. Taylor dressed up as a Winter Contessa Princess and Jackson was a Paratrooper again.

As much as the last 3 months have been a complete blur due to lack of sleep and trying to get adjusted to having 4 kids and 6 different schedules to keep up with; I think we are finally out of survival mode. I think we have all started to settle into a good routine and the rest of 2010 will hopefully be a bit calmer for us. Hee hee, we'll see because Thanksgiving is on Thursday and then Christmas is right around the corner. YIKES!!!!
