Showers of Love

Oh what fun we had the weekend of June 28th and 29th. I had two showers thrown for me in my honor...OK it was really in baby Addison's honor but she lives within me so I get to take the credit for now LOL. Both showers were absolutely wonderful and so much fun. Every single detail put into each one by each person did not go unnoticed and is very much appreciated. I feel very blessed and loved by the support of everyone who participated both days and well as from those who could not make it but sent their regards or mailed a gift. I do not have to tell you all how much this baby means to us because I can see it in your hearts that you already know. Unfortunately I was having so much fun participating that I did not take as many pictures like I usually would but here are a few. Aren't the cakes adorable!

Peyton's "Big Girl" Room

OK, so it is still not completely finished. Ideally I would like to get some decorative things up on the walls but it still cute. I did paint her name in wooden letters to match her bedding and hung it above her bed. The important thing is that she loves her room and her Daddy worked very hard on it. She is very proud to show it off to anyone who walks through our front door!

Addison's Nursery

Here it is...Addison's nursery. Since Peyton is the big sister we gave her the choice of keeping her room or having the other room upstairs which was a race car themed room painted for her...either way the room was going to be painted (poor Jason). She felt it was time for a big girl room so that is what she got for her birthday. My Father and Jason painted it and it turned out really cute...I will post pictures of it later one I have some stuff on the walls. We moved the nursery furniture back into Peyton's old room and I added a few special touches to make it new and fresh for baby Addison.

This is also a picture of her new stroller that Nana Pat bought for us and the car seat cover I had made special to match.

Last days of Kindergarten

The end of the kindergarten school year is here. It has been a great year filled with fun memories and wonderful friends. Not only has Peyton made new friends this year but her Mommy and Daddy has too! There is an awesome group of people at St. Catherine’s and we are so fortunate to be a part of the school. Peyton has done very well this year and Jason and I are very proud. She has grown so much and continues to amazes us each day. She is looking forward to her summer vacation and arrival of her new baby sister but I know she will miss her teachers and friends tremendously. I have assured her however that the new baby will keep us very busy LOL. The picture of her and I together is her very first day of kindergarten and the other is her “graduation” photo. They do not actually graduate from kindergarten but Mrs. Meier did put together a very nice Parent’s Day which was an end of the year celebration for the students and their parents. She made this video slide show and gave each family a copy as her gift to us. Turn your volume up as you do not want to miss out on what the kids are saying! PS. You might want to grab the tissue too.

Grandparents Day 2008

I had to share this video with everyone, it is too cute not to. Peyton's school had a special Grandparents Day at the end of April where each class performed something from the jazz era for them. Kindergarten was 1930's and they performed to Chew Your Bubblegum by Ella Fitzgerald. Peyton is the tall one towards the middle in the black and white floral dress. My Father came in from AZ for this and of course Nana Pat would not have missed it for the world. I was even able to sneak over to the school to see it (with Jason's permissions to leave the house LOL). It was a blast! PS. Turn your volume up, it's a cute song.

We have a DATE...

For the arrival of the newest Corsetti member. July 23, 2008 baby Addison will make her appearance into the world...if something does not happen sooner. Just as I was posting my last blog the nurse at my doctor's office called and said that I am scheduled for my c-section at 12:30pm that day. I guess I'll be getting my birthday present a day early this year!
