yes we had baby girl! Eleanor AnnMarie aka Nellie was born June 28. Here I am 2 months later finally updating my blog that I haven’t touched since we found out she’s was coming! Yes, it’s been that busy! But all good!
Garrett LOVES having a baby sister! I thought he would quickly be “over” her but nope he is still glowing. Her 2 hour nap is so hard for him to wait on! I’m thinking once she’s mobile he may reconsider but maybe not he really wanted a baby for so very long. She has stolen his heart!
The Powell home is all a buzz as usual. Dave’s job is going good but still lots of hours. He changed over to a company we subcontracted work from in December and being an employee has proven much easier in the tight economy & on our family. Garrett is ready to begin 2nd grade. We’ve schooled over the summer but just wrapping up some ends before starting 2nd officially. We will start next Monday. We’ve signed up for co-op it starts in Sept. and he has been back into cub scouts for the last few weeks. He went back to karate when Nellie was 2 wks old. Cub Scout Day Camp, church camp & summer musical were all super fun! Garrett’s “life” is getting back to order: church, school, co-op, cub scouts, karate, Lego robotics etc, etc…. Nellie is doing great and sleeping through the night. Some nights she stirs a bit and I hear it all but I’m learning to let her “teach” herself to settle and sleep on her own – as the doc says. She is just precious and perfect!
I’ve stayed plenty busy with Parker County Republican Women, PC Republican Party, PCCHE board meetings and such! A whole lot of meetings with a newborn & 7 yr old in tow! And of course, tending to my home. Having another baby has made me fall in love with being a wife and mother all over again. I am blessed! Just don’t visit my house today! I’ve had 2 very busy weeks, camped last weekend and going camping again this weekend! You can only imagine the bomb that has exploded!
I’m ready for routine and normalcy! I’ll keep up better on the blog (I’m much better about pics & such on FB) but for now I must be off to another meeting!
