Getting BIG!

We had a great weekend! Colin turned 1 month old on Thursday. Time is flying! He is starting to sleep for longer stretches at night (3 hours), and his eyes are open for longer periods during the day. He is also starting to spit up more, just like our older two.

Eric and Katie got to meet Colin on Friday. They came bearing pizza! Annalise and Bennett always have a fun time with them. Mike and I try not to scare them when they get a glimpse of life with three kids. Mike was in charge of the troops on Saturday afternoon, when I volunteered at Feed My Starving Children in Brooklyn Park with my friend Anne (Alma's mom) and a group from Little Flowers. Annalise and Alma had a playdate at our house; Mike said they had a great time, and were really good with including Bennett too.

On Sunday, we brought A and B to Grandpa and Grandma's house, where they worked on some cooking projects with Grandma J, while Colin went shopping with Mike and me. He was a really good shopper, and we got some great shopping done, and even enjoyed lunch (and a Sunday Corona for me) at Chevy's.

This is Annalise's last week of school before January, and I think she is excited to do some things around the house while on break. We are eagerly anticipating the birth of our niece, and are thinking it will happen prior to her New Year's Eve due date (just hopefully not on Christmas eve).
