Emma and Grace have a new swingset that we are hoping will give us hours of summer fun. I will put up some pics later of them enjoying it. Everything is fine here in the house O Vitellaro. Pat is working and I am working (but just a month to go). Grace is catching up to Emma in weight. Emma weighs 27 pounds and Grace weighs 17. Grace is crawling, pulling up and attempting to cruise. She also has said Mama and Dada a few times. Emma is still crazy as ever. Both of them never stop moving and neither do Pat nor I. Hope all is well in your families.

I am a slacker when it comes to blogging. As you know we had Grace on August 16th and she is much smaller than the first born one. She now weighs over 8 pounds but she still doesn't weigh as much as Emma did when she was born. I am on maternity leave until October and after that Patrick will be taking care of Grace on his days off and my parents will watch her when he works. This makes going back to work sooooo much easier. Emma is in daycare at my high school and loves it. Emma's birthday is coming up soon and we are throwing her a party on the 29th. My sister is coming in town that week too. Patrick is still deputy dog and I am trying to lose baby weight (again). You would think that would stop people from having tons of kids. It is a pain to watch your waist line expand and your breasts drop to your knees. And on that note...Hope everyone is doing extremely well. Also, Happy Birthdays to the September babies Brian, Alecia, Bill and Rob

Congrats to Heather and Greg Labbe on the birth of Luke Aaron. He weighs 6lb 14oz and was born on August 3rd at 3:17pm. I saw him today and he is a cutie. As for me and my clan, we are scheduled for a c-section on August 16th. Emma is still hazy on what is happening but she is coming around. We still don't have a name for baby number two but we have a few in mind. Emma pointed at my belly the other day and said Baby Ocean. I think Ocean is a wonderful name but Patrick disagrees. We went conservative with Emma so I say we go the polar opposite with this one. She knows there is a baby in my stomach but I don't think she realizes how this will impact her. I have bought some children's books on babies so we will see how this goes. I think she would be much happier with a puppy.

We went to Silver Spring in Ocala on Tuesday. It was a nice little trip and Emma enjoyed it very much. Silver Springs is an old nature/amusement park so its not overly crowded and there are not long lines that lead to 30 second rides. A good time was had by all. Hope everyone likes the pictures.

I have figured out that I am better at posting pics than blogging. That is ok since most of you just want to see pics of Emma anyway. Since the last update we have finished Emma's new room. She is still sleeping in the crib though. We have most of the stuff we need for Baby number two. This child may very likely be called Newbaby because we don't have a name or any idea for a name. Any suggestions? Send them over. Patrick and I went to Savannah for a night for my 30th birthday. Emma stayed with my parents and they all survived. That in a nutshell is about it. I will put up some more pics soon. Hopefully, I will be able to post some from my parent's two week trip to Alaska. They enjoyed themselves but cannot leave again for that long when I have two babies. I would lose my mind.
