No words needed here!

Christopher and Micah....they told me they were going on a quick walk and came back with someone's discarded christmas tree.  They were so proud.  I think I was speechless!  Ha!

EG with all her girl friends at their gift exchange party.  Cheers!
Caroline Turns One!!!!  We gave her a "birdie themed" first birthday!  It was such a blast.  The day was beautiful and everyone who came is so special to Caroline.  We are so blessed!

The Birthday Girl waiting for the party to start.  Over by the cake table.  We served cupcakes and one big 'ol smash cake.  It was great.  I ordered cute cupcake toppers in the birdie theme

In her precious birdie outfit with matching pearl necklace from Grammy Vay

We served brunch with cinnamon roll pops, fruit, caramelized bacon, croissants, and 2 kinds of breakfast casserole.  Yummy!

The big 'ol smash cake!




Faith practically decorated the entire party for me.  She stayed at my house the night before waaay past our bedtime to put the perfect finishing touches on everything.  What a great friend!

The birdhouse decoration station.  We set it up on the backporch

Lots of kids!

Without my mom and Faith.....well, there would have been no food or drinks...and basically no party!!!  Many thanks to both of them!  We also served mimosas, Bloody Mary's, Orange juice and milk.  Delish!

Cute boys...

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...
