Herniated

Yes.
Our sweet little Baby Ellie has a herniated belly button.
Thankfully it is small enough that the doctor thinks it will close by itself.
Just to be safe, she is being re-examined by our family doctor this Friday (mommy needs the reassurance).
It doesn’t really seem to have any affect on her other than the fact she went from an innie to an outie.
Either way, she is still just as adorable.

All in all Ellie is doing very well.
When we took her into the Dr. last week to have her belly examined she weighed in at 8lbs. 13oz.
I am very happy with the weight gain and I cannot wait to have her checked out on Friday and see how tall she is.
I know she has definitely grown because she is finally moving out of her newborn clothing and into all of the cute 0-3 month stuff she has!

Fingers crossed that all goes well at tomorrow’s appointment!
Hard to believe that tomorrow she will be 2 months old already!!!!

Thirteen.

On Sunday I became the mother of a teenager.
Yes…..I now have a teenage son living under my roof.
I find this to be complete craziness and hope that I will adjust to this fact soon.
Thirteen years ago, I brought this into the world.





And now, now I have a 13 year old son.


How on earth is it possible that he is 13 already?
Where the heck did the time go???

Facelift

If you haven’t noticed, I gave the site a little face lift.
I took some cute pictures of the kids and really wanted to share them here and figured why not do it in a new header design?!
So there you have it, new pictures of the kids.
Alexander of course wouldn’t give me a smile but this picture of him just captures who he really is.
Have a look and let me know what you think!
I love feedback!
In case you cannot remember what it looked like before, here is a shot.

Personally, I’m digging the new look!

The Legacy of Eden by Nelle Davy

Unfettered ambition.
Familial schisms.
Dark secrets.
The Legacy of Eden has them all.
In this book, a woman recounts her family’s troubled and tragic past while preparing to return to the once grand estate she fled almost two decades earlier.

If you are looking for a book that is sure to grab your attention and suck you in until the very end, The Legacy of Eden is the book for you. Seriously, once I picked it up and started reading it I could not put it down. I found myself wanting to know more with every sentence I read.

From the back of the book:

For generations, Aurelia was the crowning glory of more than three thousand acres of Iowa farmland and golden cornfields. The estate was a monument to matriarch Lavinia Hathaway’s dream to elevate the family name—no matter what relative or stranger she had to destroy in the process. It was a desperation that wrought the downfall of the Hathaways—and the once-prosperous farm.

Now the last inhabitant of the decaying old home has died—alone. None of the surviving members of the Hathaway family want anything to do with the farm, the land or the memories.

Especially Meredith Pincetti. Now living in New York City, for seventeen years Lavinia’s youngest grandchild has tried to forget everything about her family and her past. But with the receipt of a pleading letter, Meredith is again thrust into conflict with the legacy that destroyed her family’s once-great name.

Back at Aurelia, Meredith must confront the rise and fall of the Hathaway family…and her own part in their mottled history.
