I know I haven’t been updating much, but life has been a bit hectic … crazy…strange…exciting.  I have sung at a wedding and started a brand new job too.  Most exciting, I took over mommy-ship duties for one Anthony Joseph Gieber. 

What can I say about my little man?  What could I not say?  I love everything about him…well, almost.  I don’t think anyone loves diaper changes, LOL.  He has his moments, like any one year old, but most often he is simply the sweetest of boys. 

As a potential foster mother, I can be contacted any time to help out a needy family.  I got the call Friday and couldn’t help being thrilled.  I knew the wedding would bring lots of friends and family around.  As I predicted, it was terribly stressful for all of us concerned, but I loved every moment.  Times like this show you who your friends are. 

Little Anthony is bi racial and has the most perfect tan skin.  His dark eyes sparkle all the time as he takes in all the new things going on in his world.  As of today, he is over 28 pounds, so my little man isn’t that little.  He is build like a mini sumo wrestler and is so sweet it nearly makes me cry.

His first day I took him to see his Aunt April, also known as GG or BF.  Though she isn’t the baby type, she fell in love instantly and gave him his first gift, a little teddy bear that he enjoys chewing on.  Our friend, Bonnie, just adored him too.  I am sooooo lucky.

Then there was the wedding rehearsal and he was surrounded by people he didn’t know and in a strange place he’d never seen.  It must have been terribly confusing for him, but he hung in like a trouper.  My niece Ashley and many others just loved on him and brought him into our family.  The only draw back, he spit up all over me.  Oh well, such is life with a baby.

While we were at the church, April and Bonnie went and picked up a crib from Bonnie’s sister.  They brought it to my house and April’s hubby even set it up for me.  All of this while I was not even there to help.  I can’t tell you how amazed I am at how good my friends are to me.

Suddenly life is very different.  I am up at all hours worrying, like now.  I make dozens of trips to Wal-Mart to make sure he has everything.  It is all about daycare, dinner, and laundry.  He doesn’t have a lot and I want to get everything for him all at once.  Kind of hard since I’m starting a new job and will go several weeks without a paycheck.  Oh well … we’ll make it.

This weekend will be about chilling out and having more fun together.  There will be errands to run and chores to do, but I look forward to getting to know Anthony more.  We will go to church on Sunday and make sure I thank the “Big Man Upstairs” aka God for all that I have been blessed with this week, even if I am really tired.  Haha.

Even now, I hear my little big man waking up.  I will wrap up this rant for now and don’t know how soon I’ll be back.  Thanks to all of you who love and support me, you know who you are.  … LOOOOOVVVEEEE

 

Aww sis, you know how happy I am for you. Trust me, I'm still smiling from ear to ear as I type this.:)
Please give little Anthony a big hug from me! (tell him his aunt from Germany says hi! hehe):) Love ya

Aunt April absolutely adores Anthony! He is da BOMB! So precious. o:)Shari's right...I don't usually like babies but then Anthony will be one tomorrow so he isn't one of those terrifying little infants any more so all is good! I bought him a pair of jeans and 3 bright colored t-shirts last weekend and I am trying to get Shari pinned down on WHEN we can take him over to the Osh Kosh store BY GOSH!!! :)

But who's that big fella up in the left hand corner?

Hey there! GREAT NEWS! I'm soooo excited for you Shari! Thanks for letting us in on this wonderful wonderful gift you've received! HUGS ALL AROUND!!!
