Our Weekend

We had such a great weekend!!! Our house was full and everyone was happy! Friday night we had "fajita night" with our friend's The Kings...I must of had too much fun because I did not take a single picture!!! Saturday we stayed busy! Sadie had a trip to the vet to visit with Dr. Colley. She has a sore on her hip which we wanted to get checked out. Dr. Colley was the vet that helped her the most after her accident. We love him! He even told our "possible future vet - Kate" to come and shadow him to see what it was like. I took Caroline and we went for a great run in the BOB stroller. I am feeling so much better now that I am starting to exercise again. It has been a humbling experience though....7 months off from running is a lot and I can tell!!! I am SLOWLY getting there. I am up to 3 miles pushing her which is not as easy as I thought it would be with the hills. That afternoon we went shopping for a bit. Christopher plays on a travel baseball team and it was time for a new pair of cleats. Kate also got her first official "running outfit". The whole shabang - top, running shorts, running socks and cool pink running shoes. Now no one will be able to catch that speedy girl. I love it!



After that, I took Kate and Emma Grace for some much needed mani/pedi's. That was part of their Valentine's present. It was great. Christopher, Caroline, and Brett went and hung out for a bit.

Caroline is still having some rough, fussy nights with her congestion and last night was no different. Brett and I were up most of the night, so when Sunday morning came around, we decided that the family needed to sleep in and just relax a bit instead of hustling around to get to church. It was very needed and served its purpose. We all hung out as a family on our screen porch. This weather is amazing!






What a cute bootie!


In the afternoon, Brett, Christopher, and Kate took Sadie and Jake to the lake for a good swim. They love it.



Here they are on the way home....



It looks like we are hauling a dead dog laying in the back of the suburban....she is wiped out (right next to our trash can for recycling...ha!)



Tomorrow Caroline is 8 weeks old!!! Here she is after I just read her the classic, Pat The Bunny, she loves it!


Grandma Gina has come again to our rescue....she is going to stay with us this week to take care of Caroline while we figure our this "childcare" situation....hmmmm...

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...
