Let's Get Some ZZZZZs

Well only 2 weeks before I have to go back to work. I'm already starting to get bummed about not spending the whole day just watching him. We're working on a sleep schedule and it turns out this munchkin loves to sleep. He's got around 30 sleep positions. My favorite is 2 arms straight up! I'm actually typing this with one hand since he has fallen asleep in my other arm.

Vacation in the Wisconsin Dells

We just got back from an awesome weekend in "the Dells." We spent Friday through Sunday at the Wilderness Waterpark. Jim, Jenny, Lily and Lucas met us there on Friday and then Tammy, Paul, Pia, Pat, Chris, Laura, Mike and Laura made the trek on Saturday. Randomly, Garth and Lynda were also at the Dells. It was so sweet to get together with everyone. It makes us realize how much we miss everyone. We are hoping to return to Chicago for Easter and will definately be there for Chris and Laura's wedding in May. Check out lots of photos on Flickr!

2 months already!

Joseph celebrated his 2 month birthday with a trip to see Dr. Plotnik. He weighs a massive 9# 4.5oz and is now starting to coo and smile. We are enjoying our last month of maternity leave. Next weekend we are off to the Wisconsin Dells to meet family and friends. We're also excited for Kelley and Robert to visit the last weekend in February.

7 Big Weeks Old!

Joey is 7 weeks today! He is weighing in at a hefty 9 lbs. He loves hanging out with his Daddy and sleeps around 12 hours a day. Life is good here. We are enjoying maternity leave.

Celebratin' the Holidays

Unbelievable...Joseph is already ONE month old. He's weighing in at a hefty 7# 7oz! The last couple of weeks have been a whirlwind. We've had a great time introducing Joey to many family and friends. He met his Great Grandma Dvoracek, who it turns out, does not like to share him with anyone! We spent Christmas Eve with my family. The whole crowd was there with Andy and Margo in from New York. Dan's mom, Pat, was able to fly in on the 24th after her flight on the 23rd was cancelled because of the big winter storm. Christmas Day was spent with the extended Stapleton Family. Jim, Jenny, Lily, and Lucas drove up from Chicago on the 26th. Lily was so excited to meet her new cousin and Lucas gave lots of hugs to "Baby Joey." We were sad to see the Flynns leave today, but are looking forward to meeting again in February for some water park fun. Tomorrow we are looking forward to a visit from our good friends, James and Jennifer. James is responsible for our beautiful Christmas card photos. We'll be spending the New Year with my family and our good friends, the Duffy's. We are wishing you all the fun the holidays have to offer.

Grandma Flynn Visits

Yesterday we picked up Grandma Flynn from the airport. She came in from Chicago to visit the newest Flynn. We're happy she moved her trip up since Joseph moved his arrival up. Last night we had a Grandmas and Grandpa dinner. Super Dad made an awesome meal of stuffed shells and Grandma D. made a delicious apple/caramel dessert. Today is a snowy Minnesota afternoon and we are enjoying plenty of movies and a nice fire. Joseph is sleeping soundly. He likes to get his zzzzs in so he can wake up around 3am.

Joseph's First Weekend as a Party Animal

Like any Flynn, Joseph looks forward to the weekend. He started out with his first party on Friday where he was a hit at my work holiday party. The girls were all over him. On Saturday, our very good friends Jennifer and James came from Des Moines for a visit. Joseph worked his way through a very grueling photo shoot and stayed up all night. He used Sunday to wind down. After a very successful bath, he settled down to watch the Vikings game. He then immediately filled his diaper with a very satisfied look on his face. Whew...what a weekend!
