8 Weeks

Hard to believe that it has been 8 weeks since Gus entered the world. I am loving being a Mom! He is getting better with sleeping at night and we have gotten into a bit of a routine. This week has been a long week, it has rained all day, everyday since Tuesday and I have a pretty bad head cold. Looking forward to a relaxing weekend!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great relaxing weekend! Lots of yard work and relaxing at home. Monday we decided to go to the Memorial Day parade they have in Westbrook. Gus went to his first parade and slept through most of it! He was able to be awake for some of it!

We then decided to go down to Old Orchard Beach for some pier fries and pizza. The weather was beautiful! We even ran into our friends Nick & Kati! Had a nice visit with them on the beach.
We then went home for naps (I needed one too!) and ended up going over to Pam & Joe's for dinner to end our great weekend!

The first swim of the year goes to......

....... Bela, of course!

My internet is still on the brink so this is the first time I have been able to post since Sunday night.It has been a hot last couple of days. With the temperature hitting 92 yesterday, we knew it was time to put of the pool. Pete got it for me for my birthday last year and I love it! It is the perfect cool off! Baby Gus is seven weeks today, and slept good last night, 9pm - 3am!

On Wednesday we went to Waterville to visit Jenny & Craig.

We had good visit and a yummy lunch at Governor's. We were able to book our hotel room for their wedding in August!

On this couch, Jennifer L. Wescott, Peter Wescott III, Peter Wescott IV, and Jennifer A. Wescott... Only in Maine!

I have taken control.....

.... of my house again!! I am on a roll! I have done major spring cleaning to our bedroom, Gus's room and the bathroom. Yesterday Pete and I cleaned the garage and basement! We have one side of the garage filled with a bunch of stuff we plan to try to sell in a yard sale next weekend.

Today we got mulch and did the front yard and after lunch will do the back yard. Pete is also setting up the pool today which is great since Thursday will be 82 degrees!!

Somebody's got to do the work, if I'm taking the pictures!

Gus enjoyed being outside, but wasn't much help!

..... Bela wasn't much help either!

On my list for the rest of the week.... spring clean the back room, living room and kitchen. If I can get those three rooms done, I will be happy! A roadtrip to Waterville tomorrow to visit Jenny and a enjoyable and relaxing Memorial Day Weekend!

Ollie's Birthday Party

Today(this will post as Monday, but it is 1:00am so I feel like it is still Sunday) was Ollie's 1st birthday party! We hit the road around 9:00 this morning.
Bela was a little sad we were not taking her to NH...


The ride to NH was good, Gus slept the whole way and we got to Jill's about 20 minutes before the party started.
Ollie & Gus meet..


About 15 minutes later, other guests started to arrive. It was great to see everyone. I got to catch up on gossip with Anjela(Jill's sister) and Ali, Jamie & Amy. We even got to talk to Rachel in Wyoming through Skype!
Gus meets Ali.....


The Grotnes's had a great BBQ, the burgers were yummy, and since there were so many people that wanted to meet and hold Gus, Pete and I got to eat at the same time!
Getting in a little snuggle time with Jill....


Campbell(Ali's son) enjoying some food as well!

It was then cake time, Jill had a big cake for all the guests and then a small one just for Ollie to do whatever he wanted with it!
Jill stripped him down to get him ready for his cake...


Ollie enjoyed his cake!


One of the gifts we got Ollie.....

It was so great to see everyone and spend time catching up. I was sad to go back we had to get back to Maine. It ended up being quite the ride. It took us about three hours to get home due to a feed and change on the side of the road in Rochester,NH. It was after 6 when we walked in the door hit the coach, but we had a good day!
Enjoying Ollie's party

People Wonder....

..... how I have time to keep up with this blog!! Thanks for sending me the picture Nic!

Week in Rewiew

What a busy week, and since my internet is a POS this week I am doing a recap of the week in one post! First thing on my list for next week is to deal with Time Warner since I don't have time today! Our little man is 6 weeks old today, and getting so big!! I am halfway through my maternity leave.

MONDAY

We had a busy day if you had really the post from Monday(Internet was working). Finished up the day with bathtime which he loves!

Sleep Pattern: asleep: 8, awake: 4:45

Enjoying a bath after a busy day!

Tuesday
Another roadtrip to Farmington. Nicole had a dr. appt in the afternoon, so I picked up Mom from work and we were on our way! She is on the mend and looked a lot better then when I had left on Friday. We stayed for a few hours and then headed back home. I was not going to attempt another cousin photo shoot so I got all of us!
Sleep Pattern: asleep: 9, awake: 4:15

Dropping Mom at her house at sunset, I had to take a picture!

Wednesday
My friend Dianna is watching the boys on Wednesdays while I am on leave and they made the trip up to Riverbank, so Gus and I went the the park to meet them. It was a beautiful day for the park!

After the park I hit up Panera Bread, for a little internet time (Yes, I'm addicted) and then was home in time for a visit with the posse.. sorry the photo won't load, I promise to have a special post for you. We continued to enjoy the beautiful day by going to a softball game and then Gus and I were home for dinner when Pete came home at 6
Sleep Pattern: asleep: 8, awake: 12, asleep: 1:30, awake 3

Both boys in need of some sleep ( it was 8pm)

Thursday
We started the morning visiting a friend of mine from high school who just had a baby girl. She is adorable! We are going to start walking on Thursday's for some exercise together! I went and picked up Ethan from pre-school for special lunch. We such a great time and he is excited for me to come back in a few weeks.
I got a girls night!! I went to Mara's at 6 for some pizza, salad and mocktails! It is funny how time changes conversation. We use to talk about so many things, and now our conversations are dominated by babies since I just had mine and they are both due a week apart in September... I can't wait for their girls to arrive, Gus will be a stud muffin hanging with those girls!
Sleep Pattern: asleep: 8:30, awake: 2, alseep: 2:45, awake: 5:15

Today we have a busy day, dr. appt, car inspection, grocery shopping and the start of our weekend that includes a roadtrip to NH to celebrate Ollie's first birthday and the start of taking back my house!!
