Change is Good

So, we bought a new tablet to replace our PC.  We had an IPad for maybe 5 days and we hated it.  Because I am an Android user and lover, we went with the Transformer Prime Tablet.  Now, I attempted to upload blog pictures using the tablet and even tried the app, but it couldn't, or should I say, wouldn't upload pictures.  As a result, and hence the title of this post, I am switching to wordpress to blog.  Check it out!

Blog Hiatus

So sad I haven't been able to blog lately.  Our computer is pretty much done.  We are on the hunt for a new way to keep me/us connected at home.  I'm still trying to come up with a new name for the blog but nothing is really "doing it for me."  I have a gazillion pictures of the kids and Hannah.  I'm hoping to start blogging more and be done with FB.  If those that know me want to see what's going on, I rather use my blog.  That being said, until we get a new device ( probably and IPad), we'll be seeing you.  We are going shopping today so hopefully I'll posting sooner than later!  Ta-ta!!

Welcome Hannah Elizabeth

Monday March 19, 2012 at 12:13 pm, Hannah Elizabeth Patnode entered the world with a very loud hello! She weighed 8.2 pounds and was 18.5 inches long. Her big brothers and sister are so proud. She is one extremely LOVED little girl. We are so happy to add her to our clan!

Waiting....

So we are just waiting for Baby 4 to make her arrival. Bed rest was ordered February 24th and then the flu hit this house like never before. I started the sneezing, fever and coughing, then Joe, then Daddy, then Jonathan and then, last but not least, Caroline. Hands down the worst week Thomas and I have experienced as parents. We are so thankful for those that brought us meals!

The kids are super excited to meet their baby sister. They have been talking about what jobs they will do to help with her and, for Joe, the funny faces he will make to make her laugh. Not sure how fun they will think she is at first but they will adjust.

Now, the blog name needs to change....and fast! I am out of ideas.... really don't know... ideas??? Hopefully by the time the baby comes I will have figured out how to download pictures from my new phone so I can share those!!

Bubblishious!

Jonathan's first bubble...age 5! POP!

10 weeks to go...

And I'm moving really slow!!! Apologies for no new updates, but we have been super busy and I'm barely keeping up. Christmas was more than exciting in our house. The kids were so excited by EVERY present they got. Suprisingly, they were pretty content with their stocking gifts they were able to open first thing Christmas morning. We actually could have stopped there! BUT, between grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and SANTA, we didn't. Our children are MORE than fortunate, as we are too.

Grammie came to town for two and half weeks and her generosity and help was extremely appreciated. As my Doctor continues to tell me, the twin pregnancy did a number on my body and as you can see below, the twins are imitating how I walk. Silly kids! Caroline walked in the room the other night with her belly sticking way out and said, "Look Mommy. Joe Joe and I are having babies!" Yes, we are, but only ONE this time :-)
