A quick little update!

Christmas 2008 has come and gone, and it was such a wonderful, memorable, merry Christmas! There is nothing as wonderful as seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child... my 3 year old loved everything about it, especially singing Christmas carols... and of course all the presents! Yes, Santa was great this year as usual! My baby also loved unwrapping all the presents! Here are some pictures...

Dimitry's baptism

My baby boy was baptised this past weekend. It was a wonderful ceremony and we had a lovely reception at Vittoria Trattoria. God bless my baby boy!

Busy summer...

Wedding season has officially begun! This summer, it seems that every single weekend, there is wedding or baby related event, from showers, to baptisms, and of course, weddings! I can't believe it already almost June... I have a feeling this summer will fly by which is not necessarily a good thing, since we had such a long winter that I need a really, really long summer to make up for all that snow! I am loving maternity leave... I am not looking forward to starting work again, however far away that may be. Being home with my two boys is so amazing! Every day, a new adventure. Christos amazes me, still, every day. The way he play so independently, the way he works around the house, helps clean up, help garden, put things together, and always ask questions. The kid is way too smart! It is astonishing to me. "How do they make merry-go-rounds? How do they make bulldozers? How do they make beds?" He asks, asks, asks... and the memory on him! He is such a sponge. He is my love

Time flies...

Time is going by so quickly, it's unreal! My baby boy is already one week away from being 4 months old... and August is right around the corner and my big boy will be 3 years old! I can't believe how quickly time goes by... I'm loving this gorgeous weather, and we are all enjoying spending lots and lots of time outside, enjoying our backyard. It's also a crazy busy summer, with literally every weekend packed with events - from bridal and baby showers, to weddings, weddings, weddings, and baptisms, my bank account is quickly depleting. But I love wedding season... Since time is something that I don't have a lot of right now, here are some pictures! Greek Easter! We had great weather! Friends and family waiting for the feast to begin!

My grandmother...

My grandmother, with her great-grandchildren. Having fun as usual! I just wanted to write a post about how terrific a lady my grandmother is. My grandmother is a hard worker. She devotes her life to her grandchildren and to her great-grandchildren. She always took fantastic care of me growing up, and she continue to do so today. She is over almost everyday, helping me around the house, cooking wonderful Greek food for me and my family, and loving and loving and loving my children. My boys LOVE her so much. We would be lost without her, really. She is going to Greece for almost 3 months and we are going to miss her so much! She's just wonderful. A saint, truly. Such a hard worker. And I am blessed to have her in our lives. I hope my boys grow up to remember they had one amazing, loving great-grandmother! There is nothing as important as the closeness of family. Last night was especially special, watching my 2 and a half year old make fresh bread with my grandmother. It was a moment

2 months already....

My baby Dimitry is already 2 months old! We had his two month appointment yesterday, and he weighed in at 13 pounds, 3 ounces! My big boy! Christos was 12 pounds, 9 ounces at 2 months old. It's been so much fun staying home with my boys... my hubby has had all this time off work, too, so he's been a great big help, along with my mom, mother-in-law and grandmother. Seriously, though - babies are so easy! I go shopping with Dimitry and I can take my time, trying clothes on, grabbing a coffee, flipping through magazines... it's shopping with a toddler that is a little more challenging! I like the comfort of knowing the shopping centres I go to have nice nursing rooms, so I can go and feed the baby and continue on with my day. Christos is growing and he is so smart. His words and sentences amaze me everyday. He's got the greatest sense of humour, too. He is hilarious! He's also a loving, gentle big brother. I love my boys! I already want another one... I just have to co

Just pictures...

Cause I have not time to write anything now! (No, it's not because of facebook...heehee...) Zafy, Dimitry's soon to be Godmother, and Christos. Me and my baby. Christos having fun in the snow.

My baby boy is almost 2 months old!

Wow, where does time go? I can't believe next week, my baby Dimitry will be two months old! All I have to say is, having a newborn in the house again is amazing, and wonderful, and soooo much more easy then the first time... my precious baby boy is just such a joy, and his never ending smiles, well, they melt me in puddles all day long... not to mention his loving older brother, Christos, who gives him kisses all the time, and says "it's okay, mitry..." if he starts to cry... I have to say, it's been easy. And fun. And I already want another one! Dimitry is probably around 13 pounds now - probably way more since size 6 months clothes are tight on him, I can't wait to find out what he weighs next week! He feeds well, takes the bottle (so I can go out with Christos, go shopping, or hit the gym!) and he sleeps great, too! Thank goodness!

Mommy of two beautiful boys!

So my baby Dimitry was born on January 18th... I had the best labour and delivery ever! Super fast...4 hour labour, 6 minutes of pushing. Got an epi, which I hated (ewww.... the feeling of the needle in my spine!!) Anyway baby Dimitry is gorgeous and healthy and a super champ eater, and his big brother Christos is so great and wonderful and gentle with him. I'm getting used to no sleep again, but it's worth it... so worth it! I'm loving every second. It's tough with two though - thank goodness hubby is off on paternity leave for a couple months to help and thank goodness for my mom, mom-in-law and grandmother and dad and father in law and sister to help out! :) I'm loving being home with my babies... :)
