Stroman Update

Alright, Celeste (and the rest of the world who cares to read my blog...even though I'm such a slacker!), here's an update. I have been slacking in many areas of my life, and as I'm stressing out because baby will be here in 6 weeks or less, I thought I might as well try to catch up in some area of my life. And what better way to start than my blog?

Life has gone by way too fast in the last few months, and although I'm looking forward to getting this squirmy, little baby out of my body, I am also willing time to sloooow down because I'm not sure I can handle three kids. I don't know if it's the fact that baby's gender is a surprise, but I'm having a hard time finding motivation to get things ready for this baby. Our list of things to get done is forever long, and I'm not sure where to start--sell car, buy car, rearrange rooms, get rooms ready, get baby stuff ready, buy double stroller, and prepare myself for a natural birth. What? Did I just say natural birth? Yep, we have decided to forego medication this time around and have this baby the natural way. (Maybe that's why I'm slightly hesitant about getting baby here.) And maybe that's why I'm dragging my feet on getting anything done...I haven't prepared myself mentally for the birth of our third child. But enough about me and my worries and stresses. Take a peek at my adorable family and see what we've been up to lately!




We celebrated Easter, and along with that, we discovered Dexter's passion for sports. He loves any type of ball, squeals anytime he gets to watch someone play a sport, and asks continuously to watch basketball on TV. Sammy is quite thrilled about this.




Savana performed in her first dance recital, and totally rocked! She cried her eyes out during rehearsal and refused to dance with her class, but warmed up (with a little bit of bribery) for her afternoon performance.


Savana also graduated from preschool. (She had a freaking awesome teacher :) who taught her so many things!!) And we both survived our first year of preschool together.



We've enjoyed the warm weather that's finally started to show up and have spent many hours walking, playing at the park, and attempting to hike with two young kids and a prego lady.



Savy started playing T-ball this month, and it's pretty hilarious to watch her play. Dexter tries to sneak out onto the field anytime I turn my head and Savana is rarely paying attention to what's going on--but it's fun to watch her!




I've really enjoyed watching this little boy's personality pop out--and he's pretty funny! Always pulling cheeses, funny faces, making funny noises, or doing silly things to make us all giggle. I sure love him.


And lastly...Savy celebrated her 4th birthday--Princess Style!! She got spoiled rotten, and is already planning her 5th birthday party.

There. A few things to tide you over until the next time you hear from us...which will most likely be after baby 3 comes into our lives. So...ENJOY!!
