Onion Baby!!!

We made it to 17 weeks! Hooray!! I am feeling great and have no complaints! Brett came to one of my Dr appts on Monday and he got to hear the heartbeat which is so fun! This week the baby is an onion...yum! We scheduled our sonogram for the first week in August and I can't wait.


We tackled a major list of projects this past weekend. We didn't get all of them done....but we definitely made some progress. One of them was to "revamp" our screened-in-porch. We decided to stain the boring concrete floor as a starter. We chose a dark brown color. Here is a pic partway through the process. We then put a couple of high gloss sealer coats on it...looking good! We ordered a big "lounging" sofa to go on one half and a dining room table will go on the other. Soon we plan to "mortar wash" the entire outside of the house which is this dark red brick, so that part of the porch will get changed then too. I will post some pictures once the transformation is complete.


Meet David..... The newest member of the Scullen Family

Actually, David is the sweet GE repairman who has now been to our house no less than 5 times...He knows all of our names and Sadie thinks he is just the coolest!! We bought a brand new refrigerator along with all other GE appliances. Ever since we got it delivered (4 weeks ago) it has not worked right. It stays at ZERO degrees in the fridge part which means everything that gets put in there freezes...ugh!! Thankfully we have a large fridge in the basement that has saved us in the meantime...just not convenient at all. Finally after 5 visits with David, GE REPLACED it with a brand new one. It arrived yesterday....Brett and I did the happy dance!!!! Thank you David!! Come back and visit anytime! (just not to fix a broken fridge anymore...thank you very much!!) In the picture, Brett is holding his favorite treat (and mine too). Peppermint patties that we keep cold in the fridge...it is so yummy!

That is all for this week...The kids come for the weekend so I am sure I will have some new adventures to post.

    Grandad Robinson would be so thrilled to have a baby onion for a great-grandchild.

Meet Caroline Brooke Scullen!

Image
Wow...so much to say...so many pictures to show.... Caroline Brooke Scullen arrived on Monday, December 27, 2010 at 5:33pm. She was just perfect. We came home from the hospital on Wednesday and needless to say....the days have been a bit of a blur ever since! :) Unfortunately, both Brett and I have been really sick with sinus/chest cold nastiness. So, in addition to being a bit sleep deprived we also are totally under the weather...a bummer! I am trying to suffer through it without taking any of the "strong stuff" for meds... Anyways....things are getting better everyday! She is just so great and I know couldn't imagine our family without her. All 3 of the kids are so great with her...I think she never leaves one of her siblings arms... She weighed 7 lb 1 oz at birth and we left the hospital at 6 lb 10 oz. We went back for a weigh in yesterday and she know weighs 6 lb 5 oz. The doctors are now concerned that she has lost a little too much. I have been struggling...

The Scullen's Summer

Image
Well....the Scullen's have been busy. It is quite obvious since I haven't posted since...well...early May. Yikes. The summer has come and gone and school is back. We have had an exciting summer to say the least. Get ready for picture overload...I am going to try and catch us up...and these are just the highlights! Ha! Caroline and I kicked the summer off with the annual "Mother - Daughter" Trip in May.  It was fantastic.  Long gone are the days of  no babies, sleeping in, 3 cups of coffee, lots of late nights with yummy wine...No...this trip has evolved.  It is different, but just as refreshing.  I now come home from this trip utterly exhausted, but with my heart smiling, and my spirit revived!  I need my second moms and my best friends.  One year passes way too slow. This year we rented a home in Galveston, TX.  It was gorgeous.  Yup...could have moved in.  Loved it all. Daily walks by the "Grammies" and kiddos B.L.I.S.S...

One Big Update!

Image
Since it has been so long since I posted.... I thought I would do one big update on each member of the Scullen family to see what we have been up to! Here it goes - I am so proud of Brett - he has started running as of a few months ago and he has now run in 2 races. He is an official "runner". Here he is in his first 5K with his buddy Jay. He did great. Brett and I have been running at least 3x/week. I have had a slow transition back into being a runner. It is very humbling to say the least. I am feeling stronger now and just keep telling myself this is a slow process. Caroline, myself, and the BOB jogging stroller have had a lot of time together especially hoofing it up our massive hills in the area. Ha! I figured I didn't run while pregnant and just post baby which totals up to 7 months. Yikes! I am much happier when I have the time to run....That is the hardest part. Between working, mom duties, wife duties little is left over, but I am learning when to sn...
