April: The birthday month

Another year has come and my Isabella is going to be 4 years old. Shawn is going to be 16. I wonder how time flew by so quickly. I remember Shawn being Bella's age and teaching him to ride a bike, singing and dancing in the kitchen with me or watching the baseball game with Steve all snuggled up in a ball. Now he is too big to snuggle in a little ball. Almost 6 feet in fact.
Bella is so bright, and witty. She is the person I always wanted to be. I have so much faith that she is going to be an amazing being in this world and do so many inspiring and wonderful things for others. I truly believe she has been here before.

So Bella knows all her colors, even the ones in between. She can count to 15, maybe 20. She knows all her shapes, and is trying to read.
Her memory is impressive. She is constantly asking how things are made or done. I love her curiosity. I love watching her face when she discovers something for the first time. I love watching the world through her eyes. I wish I had been so observant with Shawn, but I unfortunately never got to have as much time with him being that I worked so much. I don't regret being a stay at home mother. I wouldn't change it for anything.

Vincent is growing tall and out. He is such a chubster and so happy. I am nicknaming him Mr.Smiles. Its all he does and I love it. It sort of reassures me that he thinks I am awesome. I can't wait to see what he is going to show me next.

I really feel blessed to have these three. And parenting is in no way easy. It is constantly stressful. You love them more than your self and I am constantly worried about them. I don't think that changes ever. But I still don't regret it. To think that my children are the future of our world and to know their beauty and what they will contribute, I know they will do great things.

Update! Havent blogged in two years

Its been a long two years and I haven't written at all. Life just got in the way. My New Years resolutions, well one of them, was to write more frequently. Since my last post, we have had a new addition to the family. We welcomed Vincent Marco on October 25, 2011 at 1:51pm.

Isabella is now 3 1/2 and is doing very well. She was hospitalized back in September for a terrible bacterial disease, but is doing much better.

Shawn is now 15 going on 16. My emotions are all over the place. He is my first born and I remember now, as I look at Vincent what is was like when he was so small. I miss him like that. There are things I regret, and wish I should have done better as far as being a parent. But I was so young and really did believe I knew more than anyone.

Stephen and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary on December 29th, 2011. He was the sweetest, though don't tell him I said so. He gets a big ego boost from it. He made me a slideshow of pictures to the theme of Kenny Rogers, Through the years. And on top of that, he had a mini quilt made with pictures of our children sewn in and the colors of our wedding. He is really a good guy.

I will update more later. I am tired. New momma for the third time and all. I have lots of pictures to share. Till next time...
