Tara's Birthday and Dennie Kids: January 6, 2010

Highlights from today: (click here for pictures)

(Click here for a quick video of Campbell at 2 weeks)

• A restful night in the Dennie house-Campbell did wake up only once to wish Mom a happy birthday
• Everyone else waking up at 7 since the days of being lazy are over around here
• Hanging out around the house this morning-Reagan and Anderson colored, played in the box with Graham (Mom is ready to throw that box out but we are having to much fun with it)
• A morning nap for Graham and Campbell while Reagan and Anderson worked on Mom's birthday surprises-hanging signs, making cards and getting the surprise cupcakes ready to take to our party
• Having a birthday party for Mom at Jason's Deli-not only do we cause a lot of looks with all of the kids but we caused even more celebrating Mom's birthday with candles on our cupcakes and singing Happy Birthday
• Coming home for afternoon naps while Dad got ready for a 4.5 hour conference call-Nonna even stopped by to drop off some cookies and flowers for Mom
• Mom taking Graham and Campbell to the doctor for her weight check-she weighs 7 pounds and 15 ounces now (up 7 ounces from last Wednesday)-Mom and Dad are wondering if her birth weight was right since there was scale problems that night but she is drinking lots and lots of milk now.  Dr. Martin was pleased with out little chunk!
• Anderson and Reagan watching movies while Mom was gone.  Dad was on his phone call upstairs so they had little supervision and Mom had left her cookies from Nonna down low-needless to say there is only 1 cookie left!  They enjoyed Mom being gone for a little while-the cookie crumbs, empty milk cups and candy wrappers on the floor showed it
• Going to church for supper and then cubbies and puppets.  The boys did pretty good going to class and Reagan was so excited all day long about cubbies.  Campbell hung out with Mom and Dad and skipped the nursery tonight
• Another bottle for Campbell (2 in a row), Graham going to bed and Reagan and Anderson eating some ice cream right before bedtime
• Reagan saw a picture of her "favorite ride" at Sesame Place, PA-she tried to convince Dad that we could go back.  He said it was a long way away and she said that we could drive and then said "I have a great idea, we could fly there, that would be faster"-our little traveler!
