Fall Week

This week was such a beautiful week for weather. The temperature was low 70s all week. Anthony and Avabelle loved playing outside. Today it is cold and gloomy but it is November 13th and we are fortunate to still have nice weather. I’ve been living in the moment with the kids this week and it makes such a huge difference sometimes the house isn’t perfect but the kids love the time I spend with them.
Anthony – Anthony is getting so big I look at him and I’m amazed. Although he wasn’t too big to take a bath in the sink this week. I gave Louie a bath in the kitchen sink, and then Avabelle, and Anthony wanted a bath in there too. It was funny Tony came up for coffee and Anthony was naked trying to get in the sink. He said what’s going on, Anthony told him that he needed to get his cars first before taking a bath in the sink like nothing was out of the ordinary. Tony and I laughed once he was in there, because he looked way too big.
Avabelle – Avabelle was super cute this week…she was supposed to go upstairs and get her pajamas on she came down in her tights with the ballet slippers on them, and a thermal shirt. It was such a sight to see, Tony and I couldn’t stop laughing because she was so happy in her outfit. She did such a great job at singing to Louie this week. Louie just goos as she sings to him, while I secretly watch and hope she doesn’t fall on, him because she keeps dancing around his little body.
Louie – Louie is really babbling a lot lately. He is still super happy and loves to be held. Tony thinks he’s so happy because I walk him around all day. I love to hold him although he is getting heavier and heavier. He loves to see what’s going on. He gets super excited when he sees Anthony and Ava running he kicks his legs and arms. I sometimes wonder if he ever gets sick all of us being in his face all the time.
Tony and Rita – We had a great week. I was little overwhelmed one morning I had to feed Louie and I had to get Anthony, Avabelle, and myself out the door in 30 minutes and we were all still in our pajamas. I had a little melt down and Tony came out to see what was going on because I don’t have them too often. I told him it was just a hard morning because Louie had been up a few times last night and the kids were in slow motion. I know he thinks I’m crazy sometimes, but he’s always known this. He helped me and gave me a kiss on the head, which I really needed. I was out the door and had plenty of time. I told Tony you know I was thinking of how overwelming it is to take care of three kids and the house. I said I feel like I can’t take care of myself because I’m always taking care of everyone else, but then I said I thought about how lucky I am to do it, to be able to stay home and watch my kids grow. I feel very fortunate and I am very grateful that we have the life we do. It reminded me of a saying don’t complain that you have to, but be grateful that you can. I feel like I set my expectations too high of myself. Well I’m off to make the beds and do some laundry. Oh yeah and the house has been on the market for almost a week.
