This past weekend

Even though...THIS weekend is just 2 days away....LAST weekend was a blast. Here is the full report!



On Thursday....I decided that no food would be cooked by me in the kitchen that night!  So, "Momma decided to eat out"!  The kids and I went early and then Brett drove in from Atlanta and met us at the restaurant.  Here is Caroline at our favorite mexican food restaurant enjoying a tortilla chip!  She keep waving them around shrieking....it was so funny

Friday night we went for a great family walk.  The weather here has been perfect and we couldn't stand to be inside.  Here is Christopher and the Pups!!!


Saturday:  On a complete whim....Emma Grace brought up the idea of running in the Callaway 10K race.  It is in a beautiful park in Georgia called Callaway Gardens about 45 min away.  She knew of another friend of hers, Sarah, on the cross country team that was running.  All she had to do was ask me...and I was in!!  I love being able to share my passion for running with her.  She has become a beautiful, healthy, and confident girl this past year.  This 10K is the farthest she has ever run and she was so excited to give it a go!  She was really nervous/excited as we rode up there.  The plan was for her and Sarah to run together and help pace each other.  I was on my own!...ha!

They did amazing -  NATCH!  They finished together and ran a strong race.  Never stopping.  Pretty cool!


After we celebrated, we raced home to meet up with the rest of the Scullen Crew and head over to the King's for taco soup, white chicken chili, and smores...yuuummm!  The hostess with the mostess, 'a la Faith, had the perfect "smores fixin tray" ready.  Dig in!




 Sunday the kiddos went back to their Moms and we just goofed off the rest of the day...

 How big does Caroline look sitting on our outside step!?!  What a cutie in her cozy fleece outfit!
We loaded up the pooches and let them have a fun romp at the dog park.  They were in heaven.




The we decided we were starving (at 2 pm...ha!) so the only thing that would fix that would be a yummy Five Guys Burger......oh.my.word.

We gave Caroline her first (of many) french fries.  Gasp....I know...not so healthy but geez....so good!  She keep yelling out (with french fry in fist) to the people walking by on the sidewalk.  I guess she was trying to tell them this was the best thing she has ever put in her mouth and that they should try it too....!



Then she would sequel....as if to say"  HA!  never mind you can't have any...they are all MINE!"  It was just cracking us up.


Nothing completes a great lazy Sunday with a few loads of laundry.....This is what I found as I was coming to get her to go to bed!

Good Night!

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...
