The Delacoma Daily: New Happenings!

Hi all!!! Well, it's been about a month since my last post...and I have to be honest when I say it's really hard to keep up with a blog/website or whatever these days! Between the new house, work, the kiddos, visitors, friends, etc., I have a hard time keeping up with certain things! But, here I am...and I will do my best to update on what's all been going on :)

Well, first off, Madilynn is ALL OVER THE PLACE! That girl is a busy bee! She is now standing up on her own (not holding on to anything!) She just stands up in the middle of the room (and the bathtub! Ah!) so I would bet that it won't be long before that girl starts walking! She's a strong little cookie and of course happy as ever!! She had her first ear infection a couple of weeks ago and we didn't even know it. She caught a little cold from her big sissy and I took her in to the doc for her 9 month check (YES! 9 months!) and the doctor said, "She has a pretty bad ear infection." She honestly wasn't even really fussy with it! So, she was 21.7 lbs and 29.5 inches long!! She is a growing baby girl!! She honestly brings so much joy to our lives...one of my favorite moments of the day is when I go in her room first thing in the morning...she is just so happy and gives me the biggest snuggles and KISSES too! She is all about giving kisses these day - very wet ones :) OH! She has 7 teeth now!! Yes, all 4 front teeth came in a the same time the same week she had a cold an ear infection! We also got some 9 month pics taken...see below :)

Big sissy Adrienne got her ears pierced!!! We told her that when she turned 4, she could get her ears pierced but she's always been too scared to do it! We told her that was totally fine...and she could do it whenever she felt like she was ready! Well, Madi and I took her to get her hair cut one Friday afternoon and a little girl was getting her ears pierced and she said she wanted to! Luckily, this little girl didn't cry or anything and Ade wasn't scared. And luckily, they pierced both ears at the same time or else Ade would be walking around with 1 ear pierced because she did NOT like it! LOL I think it startled her more than anything but after about 3 minutes, she looked in the mirror and fell in love with her "pink princess diamonds" hehe :) Ade has been doing very well in school. She is writing her name all by herself now (we don't have to show her any of the letters anymore) and the teachers said she's a very quick learner. They said she will be more than ready to go to KINDERGARTEN next year! Crazy! Ade is the most animated little girl I have EVER met...everything is magnified X100! It's soooo funny when she's in a good mood and soooo not funny when she throws magnified fits :) The girl keeps us on our toes! :)

We've been slowly but surely doing some work in our house. We painted the playroom and put in a new storage unit with a TV over it. It looks super cool. It's even cooler that I found this piece of furniture for $40 and then had it refinished for 1/6 of the price it would have cost to buy what I wanted at Pottery Barn! So I was proud of myself :)

Work is BUSY AS EVER!!! Nick and I are both SO busy! He is working longer hours and is having to travel a bit more and I am busier than ever and juggling the kiddos and work! I'm just lucky that I can work from home and have a sitter to help me as opposed to commuting to work everyday...I would NOT like to sit in the traffic that Nick does everyday :( So, finding the balance between kids, work, family, friends, cleaning, etc. is always a challenge and things are constantly changing presenting new challenges but I think that's pretty common in today's world and I feel fortunate that I get to spend as much time with my darling daughters as I do :) Very lucky! (Although I do wish to hit the lottery at least once a week :)

Well - I better get! The girls and I are coming to town the weekend of the Oct 20th to meet BABY MINNIE KATE GROVES!! One of my bffs Molly had her first little baby girl and we CAN'T wait to meet her! Excited to see the fam and some good friends!!

I haven't been very good at taking pics with my good camera but I have a million of them on my phone! :)

Until next time...(This should be called The Delacoma Monthly but it didn't have the same ring to it :)
