Katie's First Cereal

We started feeding Katie her first cereal this week. Surprisingly it was not as messy as I thought it was going to be. She really likes it and usually cries for more. I just can not believe she is five months old already!

So Much Going On...

It has been a two weeks since my last post. It is not because I am lazy just a busy mom of four! Let's see...to get everyone caught up on the never boring life of the Salinas Crew this is what has been going on with us...
1. My sister had her birthday
2. My mom had her first chemo treatment
3. Have been nominated to be an officer/chairperson for POTATO (parents of twins and triplet organization)
4. Had family outtings
5. Celebrated Father's Day
6. Hired a contractor and architect for our addition to our home (to hopefully begin in August or September)
7. Had Birthday Parties and Showers to attend for friends

So as you can see I have had a good excuse as to the reason why my blog is not as up to date as it should be.

Mom is doing quite well with chemo. I have created her a website in order for family and friends to stay up to date on her progress. The address is www.caringbridge.org/visit/sandraglasgow

Katie is growing so fast. She has really enjoyed learning how to move in her walker. She loves being able to sit up and see what is going on around her. It is amazing to watch her curosity. I also brought in her highchair to the kitchen so that she can sit with us at meal times. Tonight was the first time she sat in it. She played while the family at dinner. She played so hard that she fell asleep! It was just so cute.

I promise to do better at keeping the blog up to date. I can not promise I will as I never know what my life will entail from one day to the next but that is the beauty of being a wife of almost 11 years and a mom to four kids!

Lisa and Adam Finally Tied the Knot

Lisa and Adam's wedding went off great with only one minor glitch...Amber (Matron of Honor) forgot the wedding band for Adam upstairs in the dressing room of the church! DUH!!!!! I can not believe I did something so stupid. I am suppose to be the organized ONE. I guess we all have "DUH" moments. Lisa and Adam went to Gatlinburg for a few days on their honeymoon and came back with that "newlywed glow". I can not believe my sister is finally married. This is such a great new chapter in her life...next chapter ...babies! I am so excited about being an aunt in the future but for now I will just wait patiently until that chapter begins.

Katie's Four Month Check-Up

Katie went to the doctor today for her four month check-up. She will be officially four months on Friday. She did receive a good bill of health and is growing fast. She weighs almost fourteen pounds and measures 25 and 1/2 inches long! I went and got pictures made this past weekend and thought I would share a recent picture of our Little Princess, Katie.

Spiderman Luke

I just had to share this with everyone....
I put Luke down for his nap today at the normal time and in our normal routine. Well five minutes later, Luke had managed to climb out of his crib, open the door to his room, and greet me in the kitchen where I was cleaning up lunch! He did it not once but twice in a matter of five minutes.
I have a Spiderman for a son and his name is Luke!

Update on My Mom, Sandra

Some of you may know and some may not so I thought I would post an update on my mom, Sandra Glasgow. A couple of weeks ago, my mom went in to the OBGYN doctor as she noticed her breast changes shapes. The doctor sent her to get a mammogram. To make a long story short, the mammogram lead to an ultrasound and the ultrasound lead to a biopsy. The biopsy lead to an MRI and CT scan. Yesterday she went back to the doctor to get the final results from all her tests and scan. As of yesterday, the doctors has diagnosed her with invasive lobular carcinoma a form of breast cancer. Currently, the doctors are saying that is contained to one breast; however, the scans did show another lump in her other breast that is taking the same shape and form as the "diagnosed breast cancer lump". She will be meeting with an oncologist tomorrow to discuss treatments. The thought course of treatment at this time is chemo followed up with surgery to remove the diagnosed cancer. Please keep her in your prayers during this difficult time.

Busy, Busy, Busy

I know that it has been awhile since my last entry on the site. Our lives have been very HECTIC. My sister's wedding is less than a week away and this event has keep me hopping (literally)! I just wanted to just let everyone know that we are still here and doing well. I will put some new pictures up later on next week after the wedding when life will go back to somewhat of a normal pace for us. Have a great week. Love and Hugs to All.
