A Fresh Start

Since it has been sooooo loooong since the last blog post, I thought I would do a brief recap of the past 4 months in pictures.  Needless to say....we have been busy!  Between the holidays, Caroline's first birthday, many fun visits from family, and just life in general, time has just gotten away from me.  Thank goodness for Emma Grace who is constantly reminding me how behind I am on my blogging!  ha!  Seriously....she is my main motivation to get back on track!  So here we go...
p.s.  this may take awhile to get through so grab a cup of coffee...

Thanksgiving at our house.  Gina and Bob drove down from Nashville and Val and Cameron came up from Texas

Lots of football throwing in the front yard.  The weather was perfect!

Like mother-Like Daughter...same cords on!  We are so hip!

Some of the kitchen crew:  Gina, Val, Emma Grace, Aunt Linda

And a lot of ping pong tourneys - Christopher and Val usually fought to the finish in the championship

Emma Grace and her 4 best girl friends on a "girls night out" to the movies.  Fun!

What a cute family (plus the cute photographer who happens to be hubby)

So cute!

Giving Thanks.  We had 11 at the dining room table counting Miss Caroline.  Wow!

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...
