Four days home with the family. Yahoo! We are already gearing up for the 4Th of July - heading to Auntie Lynda's for a barbecue and swimming, which the kids are going to love.
I Need to get some baking done to bring to the party and check the paper for the start time of the local fire work's display. Not sure how Joey's going to react to the noise? I think Gina is really going to enjoy them this year - as I am constantly reminded by Gina - "I am a big girl now, not a baby!"
Speaking of Gina, my baby girl is not so much of baby anymore, (as she stated above) she will be THREE on July 29Th. She talks up a storm, spells words, dances, sings and loves to pretend she is a "mommy" or "Cinderella". I think we are going to get her a tricycle this year.
It is amazing how fast she has grown and how fast we have grown as parents! Just three short years ago I was stumbling around a new "world" called motherhood and I really didn't have a clue. I was a nervous new mom and unsure if I was doing everything "right" for my new baby girl.
Those first few weeks as a new mom were daunting for me. No sleep, no experience, and a baby who didn't sleep for more than three hours at a time. WOW! It took a while, but once we figured out Gina's allergies and I gained my confidence as a mom we settled into a routine.
But, as you know no routine lasts forever when you have a growing child. I think the biggest thing for me to learn was that kids and routines will always change and morph into something new and different and you have to learn to move and change with them or you will drive yourself nuts.
Kids are not black and white they are shades of Magenta and what a great way to be. I say magenta, because kids are inherently intrigue by the world around them, to see every thing as exciting and new - ready to explore. Kids are experts at thinking out side the box.
So, I think today I will try to look at things in shades of Magenta!
Gina four days old!
Gina 2 years old, 7 months!

I agree it is so great how kids think outside the box. As adults I think we need that reminder to look at like through the eyes of the children or to be magenta.
WOW three it seems only yesterday that Gina was a baby and now she is a little girl or in her eyes a big girl.
Joey and Gina bring so much joy in my life, who knew that you could love somebody that much :)
