Mae Evangeline

Surprise! I'm back with a new edition or should I say addition. Mae Evangeline was born Saturday, June 30, 2012 at 6:23 am. She was 6 lb 8.5 oz and 19.75" long. She is perfect. We are all so excited to have her join our family and Claire is an awesome big sister already. She loves to feed her bottles, to hold her and to laugh when Mae's diaper gets filled. Mae is a great newborn too. She is on a 3 hour feeding schedule with naps inbetween. It makes life fun for now as long as she'll stay on that schedule. Justin's been amazing as usual too. Even offering to let me go see a movie and just get out of the house which is so sweet except there's no place I'd rather be than with my beautiful family.

Update!

So here. I'm posting. Nothing new or exciting.

Routine

We have gotten back into our daily routine which is nice. Justin was not feeling well at the end of last week, so he stayed home with Claire and I went to work. Then over the weekend we just took it easy so we all could rest up for the work week. Sunday was great and church is such a joy for all of us. Yesterday, we all got back to our norm. Claire's teacher said that she has been having lots of good days in a row so we told her if she kept it up, we'd do something extra special, like going camping! This week is exams for my students which puts me on autopilot and lots to think about while I walk around the classroom for 2 hours while the students let their brains ooze out onto their scantrons. On the way home from school yesterday Claire asked if she got to do ballet today. I told her that today was Monday and she gets to do ballet on Wednesdays. She emphatically said, "I will never forget that again." And somehow, I believe her!
