Busy weekend!

We had a bit of a busy weekend. Here's a rundown:

Friday

• 10 people over (so a total of 12) to dye Easter Eggs. 4 of these were children under the age of 5. It was fun, but crazy!
  

Saturday

• 9:00 Skating- Have I mentioned that I've finally learned how to stop? It only took me 14 weeks. Working more on mohawks and half flips.
  
• 11:00ish- Met up with Michelle and Tami in Cambridge. Michelle is from Ohio but was in Boston for the weekend. Tami came down from NH and we went to Paper Source and then had lunch together.
  
• 2:30ish- Alexander's first birthday party. Mel and Dan had 57 people in their house! Wow. They rented a bounce house, and it's a good thing that they did, because it kept the kids outside and occupied.
  

Sunday

• 9:00- Church in Westborough. We got there a little late so had to sit up in the balcony area. Very packed congregation!
• 11:30ish- brunch at our house. Mom, Andrew, York and Krisitin came over. It was a nice relaxing time, and after eating we sat around and played some games. Around 7 Chris pointed out the time to me and I then took my mom home. Made for a LONG day! And lots of driving.

In other news, my Etsy shop is now open. I have a few knit cupcakes there now and hope to add a few more items in the near future. I'd like to share more pictures, but since there are many with children and I don't have permission to post their pictures, here's one of our table on Easter.

I feel like I haven't posted anything creative in a while, so here are a couple of LOs that I finished tonight. Not that it really matters that much since most of the people who read this blog would see these over at TallyScrapper.

Meeting baby Alexander

And a few more pictures can be found here.

So this afternoon I went and met Alexander. Such a sweet little guy. Mel now has a computer at the hospital, so if she's feeling up to it she may post a few more pictures on the baby blog. She has over 100 on her camera, and I think Auntie Alyson took lots of pictures as well.

They'll be going home at some point on Monday, so maybe then she'll start to get into some kind of routine and we'll get regular updates. Alyson and Dan will both be home the first week, then just Dan, and then the third week it will be just Mel and Alexander on their own during the day.

Alexander is here!

So I got up to go to the bathroom and I missed Alyson's call. Good thing there's viocemail!

Alexander Christopher joined the Chiocco family at 2:08pm this afternoon. He's 5 pounds, 14 ounces and 19 inches long.

Everyone is doing well.
