Spring Has Sprung

Tonight was beautiful. Kamryn and Seth were playing and Lillian or Lily-bell, as I tend to call her, was toddling along on the side walk. She is a true wonder. She is a peanut of a girl, still only about 18 pounds, yet her little legs never stop. She still has that walk that you could drive a tractor trailer under...and I love it.

Kamryn was trying to tell "jokes" which she makes up, they are not funny but you have to laugh because they are ridiculous, which makes them funny... Ironic:) (ex: mom, today at school I saw a boy with milk and he put maple syrup on it...) not funny, except when she tells it in her cute and dramatic way... NO idea where she gets that??? :)

Tomorrow Kam and Seth begin T-ball.. Fun times. They are excited. Seth is all ready with his hat and glove to be an umpire and say... "you're outta here!" Adorable.

I can't help but love nights like tonight.

Could I do this any better

Life is flying by. I am so busy trying to be everything, I am wondering if I could do this better? This being life.
I will just keep thinking about it for now and post again when I have the answer..which will be about right since I don't post very often anyway:)

Lillian Elizabeth

Monday March 30, 8:20am. 6lbs 12oz... Very good baby so far!!!

family shots...

Hodgepodge... Isabel and Kam, Nana and the gingerbread house, Aunt Kara and the gingerbread house... Family portraits in our new living room... Hey at least they are pictures right:)

I am still here

Wow, I can not believe that it has been so long since I posted. Here I am.
Updates:

I am finally done with my Master's so now I may have some time to blog... (maybe)

I am about 8 weeks away from baby #3 who is a girl, and she remains unnamed at this time:)

We moved December 7th so that was crazy, I did not even do any Christmas posts but it was a great Christmas and most of the festivities were held here at our new house so that was fun!

We are headed to Florida next week to see my Grandparents and I am so excited to have a vacation with my husband and kids.

Seth is talking now so he is keeping us well entertained! Kamryn is 3 going on 30, but I can tell she is going to be a great helper!

So that is all for now. I will post some super cute pics when I get time.

Things that come in threes

Well since it has been a while since I have posted I thought that I would let the world know of three major things that are happening in the Pagliaroli household.

1.) Katie has switched jobs (again). I am now working back at Oswego Hospital in the Case Management department. I am really enjoying it so far, but it has only been one week:)
I made the move to have a more regular schedule and it is better paying which is helpful as...

2.) Steve and I bought a house. We anticipate closing will be mid to late October so hopefully we can move before the snow flies... The reason that we needed the bigger house...

3) We are having ANOTHER baby. We should probably be ashamed of ourselfs as we know exactly how it happens and yet we can't seem to prevent it for more than a year or so:) We are expecting this little one sometime in March. After the initial shock wore off we have been excited. Kam will be almost 3 1/2 by then and Seth will be 2 in April so we will have our hands full with a newborn.

So if I haven't blogged in a while that is because I have not been feeling so well, but I am starting to feel a little better so hopefully it will last.

All of this is going on and I am still finishing up with school and will be done January 22! NONE to soon:)

Kam and Seth are great and a huge blessing at this point. It has been a great summer and now we are looking forward to some fall fun:)

I will hopefully post with some pics soon:)

Next time I won't wait untill I have so much big news! :)

Summer Faces

Summer is flying by way too fast. We have had an eventful summer so far with a Vermont wedding, and some trips to camp. We are looking forward to a visit from Jon and Jodene as he returns from Afghanistan in August. We can not wait to see him.

Here are some "so good" popsicle faces. Our neighbor walked with Kamryn and some neighborhood girls to the store (about 2 blocks) while Steve and I waited anxiously for their return. They came back with blue popsicles. I think Seth and Kam were blue for two days after that but fun was had by all.

As always I will update as I can.

Accident

I don't suppose I can talk about a tea party (I don't even know if anyone reads this) and not tell the story of the accident or as Steve calls it "Edward Scissor Hands." I will never live it down.
Last night after a VERY stressful day at work (the state is here) I was cooking dinner. I had pulled the pork out of the oven and put it on a plate to cut. So I had the knife in one hand and I pulled the meat thermometer out (you know we will all die if we eat pork that is undercooked!!!) with my bare hand. Stupid I know... well the story is this: I touched the meat thermometer and before my brain registered I pulled my hand back, let go of the knife and heard a blood curdling scream. The kids were both at the table thankfully, so I look at Steve and there he is shaking blood all over the kitchen, ( I do mean all over!!!) When I let go of the thermomter I let go of the knife too... It just happened to land in steve's hand. Good thing I am a nurse:) He got faint... there was a lot of blood, I raced him to the sink, put it under running water, slapped some paper towels on it and ran to the phone to call my dad. In the mean time I started to clean up some of the blood and Steve was like... Hello what about my hand... so I went back to the injured and put some gauze and a bandaid on it and my dad arrived and off to the emergency room we went. Thankfully in the hall at the ED was the orthopedic surgeon I know Dr Baker. He looked at it and said it was just cut, no tendons or nerves or anything so we walked away with just a couple of stitches... I will never live this down.... Steve has gone 38 years and never a stitch...now he is scarred (literally) for life.
The only funny part of this SAGA were Kamryn and Seth. They were all strapped in at the table and as I was rushing around the kitchen like MAD Kam said "do you think I could have some dinner and dad could have a bandaid?" Then I looked at Seth and he had about 4 pieces of bread crammed in his mouth...
Never a dull moment. I do thank God though that my babies were not in the kitchen. As upset as I was about hurting Steve I would be devastated if it had hurt my babies.

Anyway, Lesson 1: Don't come near the kitchen when I had a bad day at work and am weilding a knife.

I don't have any pictures for this one either but you are probably glad about that:)

Tea Party

Kamryn and Mommy had our first tea party and I don't even have any pictures. I know that is a crime. You can imagine though. Kam was dressed as Cinderella and we were at the table. Mommy had a crown and we were drinking "tea" (water) and eating carrot sticks:)
Kamryn had a lot of fun and NO miserable moments. It was so much fun. She had her little legs crossed and she would try and stick out her pinky to drink. There was "tea" everywhere. I loved it.

Motor City Meets Pagliarolis

The Men>>> (&kam) The Women>>> (& Seth and Robbie)



We had a fun trip "making memories" with the Pagliaroli's. We visited the Henry Ford museum, and Greenfield village. Very interesting (especially for Dad P and Uncle Jimmy) We did ride in a model T so that was neat.
Kamryn wanted to drive. Kam and Seth were great travellers!

Tidbits from Florida

Ok, Here are just a few of the more than 100 pictures taken of our amazing florida vacation. I promise I will update more soon.

We had a great time with Katie's Doe Doe and Bampa Jack... stay tuned...

Christmas is coming

We put up our Christmas tree this weekend and it was fun. I made popcorn and Kamryn thought it was the neatest thing ever.

She has had a few weeks of adjsutment. Kam and Seth have been going to daycare for a few weeks now, just a couple of days a week. Steve's mom has needed some time off. Kamryn has had a really difficult time with the transition but in the long run it will be really good for her. Seth loves it. He is such a happy boy.

Jodene is home with Isabel and Douglas, so that has been so much fun. They are in Florida right now with Papa Beck so we are all a little jealous.

That is all for now, more to come...

Pagliaroli Pumpkin Patch

Ok. I know it has been way to long. What can I say... I work full time, I am a mother of Little ones, a wife, I go to school full time and I can blog every three to four months... not too shaby in my book.

Halloween was fun. Seth was a Pumpkin and a Lion, he is a busy boy. He is so much fun. He is almost crawling and he says ma ma ma ma ma...

Kamryn talks like an adult. I asked her last night as I made meatballs where beef comes from and she said in her loudest voice "Ala-bama." Where she comes up with this stuff I have NO idea.

I am in love with these kids.

Hope to write more soon.

Seth eats...

His first attempt at Rice Cereal...he wanted nothing to do with it... If it doesn't come from mom, I don't want it:)

The next day he wanted dad's coffee, as Kam say "It's coffee time"

Big 4 month old boy, 16 lbs and 26 1/4 inches. He is in the 90th percentile for height and 75th for weight.

Siblings

Seth thinks he can take her...there is only a 6 pound difference...yikes:)

Attempt at a true BLOG

Ok. I am told that a Blog is actually about writing...not just pictures, yuck! So in the spirit of the B"log" here goes nothing:)

Did you ever notice just when you think things are going along pretty good WHAMMO. This weekend we had a super fun time at the Family party. Everyone got to meet Seth and enjoy Kamryn's company. We got to see family that we don't get to see regularly and it was a beautiful day...

Saturday night after our big day of fun I fed Seth at about 10 pm and he broke out into hives everywhere. His eyes were swollen shut and he was covered. So we raced to the store for some Benadryl. He continued with the hives until Monday when we finally brought him to the doctor. She thinks it was probably something I ate... Mommy's fault. Thankfully he is hive free today!!!

Sunday our faster master pastor Bob or Uncle Bob as Kam says dedicated Seth and it was a special time for us. We are going to miss him and his family as they have decided to move all the way to Georgia!

Monday, I left work early to bring Seth to the Dr... Steve called me at home and said he wouldn't be able to make it to the appointment. Then as calm as can be he mentioned that he just happened to be in a car accident and was waiting for the police. A guy rear ended him as he was waiting to make a turn...Thankfully he and the guy were ok, the van... not so good but could be worse.

So here it is Tuesday and I feel like it has been a busy week already!!!!

Stay tuned for more of the ordinary and hopefully a few more pictures too

Anniversary party continued...

Seth and Aunt Kara definitely like Japanese...
Kamryn tried to eat all of Bampa's cake
On the way home Nana wasn't really paying attention to Miss Kam and she put the Umbrella from the cake up her nose. When mommy turned around to see her sound a sleep with the umbrella stuck in one nostril she woke up to the laughing and I had to take a picture!

Kam didn't leave her Bampa alone at all. She ate from his plate through the whole meal.. The food was good and the show was even better.

ICHI BAN..number one in my book!

Kamryn experimenting with chop sticks...she was "made" in Japan!

57 years and they are still the happy couple!!!! Happy Anniversary Doe Doe and Grandpa.

Rubber Duckie

As bath time for Kam and dad is winding down, I had to take a few pictures... Steve will kill me for putting these on BUT one of Kam's favorite things is to take a "tubber" with dad... They splash and play, I don't know who has more fun:)

Here is Seth sleeping....It is 7 AM and he hasn't been up yet! Mommy is sooooooooo excited!!!!
