Memorial Day Weekend C, C & C!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, Everyone!


I had a fantastic weekend - my sister Chrissy visited from Friday morning to this morning, Tuesday. She was the biggest help imaginable, not to mention super fun company all weekend long. As soon as she landed on Friday, we grabbed lunch at Panera and then flew home asap so she could meet her nephews! 



Soon after, we went to have some professional photos taken of the boys. It was a long process, so thank goodness she was there to help. Here are a few pics, Conor first, then Caden:



On Saturday, Joyce, Dennis and Pat came by for a few hours. Joyce and Den had met Conor in the hospital, but this was the first time they were meeting Caden. I think Joyce has Caden here on the left and Uncle Den has Conor.



On Sunday at some point, Chrissy and I decided to give the boys their first bath. We have been doing sponge baths since they have come home from the hospital, so this was the first "submerged in an inch of water" bath. Caden tolerated it a bit better than Conor - highs and lows all around. :)


Auntie Chrissy made sure Caden was all snuggled up, nice and toasty. He loved it.


They ended up passing out shortly after their baths, and we took a cute pic of their little arms in the air - they were tired!!


On Monday night, Chrissy babysat the boys while Jim and I ventured in Old Town for a celebratory drink (& oysters) since he passed the CA bar. It was a fun night out. We were under strict orders from Auntie Chrissy NOT to talk about the twins the entire night, but of course we did. They are just awesome. :)


I hope you all had a wonderful, safe long weekend too! And of course, a huge thank you to those who have served, both past and present. THANK YOU!!!!

xo,
Shaz

  Here is Cal’s journal :) Saturday Feb 18 We packed our big van and drove to NEW YORK CITY.  It was a long drive. We got to play the switch for a little bit, and we also rested. We got Subway turkey sandwiches on the way to New York. We stopped at a rest stop to go pee. It was crowded. Then continued driving to New York. We got to the hotel in new york and our room was not ready. We walked to central park and climbed rocks and took pictures of birds. We saw some big horses that had carriages on them for people to have a ride around the park. We went to the central park zoo but it was closed. We then found mom and dads friend Lauren and we got pizza together. Dad helped her get a taxi home. We went to bed in the hotel and saw lots of lights and buildings. Sunday Feb 19 We went back to Central Park to feed the birds and eat bagels. We had so much fun feeding the birds.  I love Mom.  I love Dad.  I love Conor and Caden so much.  I love me.  I love everyone in the world. We saw people ice

 Here is Mr Caden Francis! Saturday Feb 18 We rented a new car and packed it up on Saturday morning.  We then drove to New York.  It took almost 4 hours! We did a little bit of television, then we rested with our blankets and pillows and then we ate Subway sandwiches.  When we got to NY, we went to Central Park! There were so many birds there. We took a lot of pictures of birds at the New york park (the birds were fat). It was SO FUNNY! We then saw Dad’s friend Lauren and got pizza with her. We watched some youtube videos while we were at dinner. The pizza was so yummy.(My Favorite Bird in the world.) Sunday Feb 19  On Sunday morning we woke up in NY city. We found a place that sold bagels!!! We each ordered a bag and walked back to Central Park. We were sad when we found out the bird sanctuary was closed until 11 o'clock. We were sad but we still saw some more birds and tried to give them our crumbs. We then got in our car and started to drive to Washington DC It took about 4 h

Me and Jim have some hard news to share. We originally did not think we were going to post something so personal - but while going through this experience, I feel it’s important to share our story and hopefully help other people going through this same emotional roller coaster. It’s sad, it’s frustrating, it’s scary, and quite frankly it is ROUGH.   Here is our story - We surprisingly found out we were expecting over the Fourth of July, our favorite holiday and our favorite week with our favorite people. Naturally, it felt exciting because it was an awesome time. Nonetheless, we were shocked and terrified because our youngest is five. Quite the age gap when you have three kids in 26 months. Fast forward: On Friday, September 24, 2021, when I was 16 weeks pregnant, we found out we were having our fourth boy. We were excited and not at all surprised haha. We knew it was another boy by my symptoms and how I felt.  September 24 is my moms birthday, and September 23 is my dads birthday. Tha
