Merrrrrry Christmas

Wow! What a great Christmas Holiday. The Sanker family has been very busy over the last few weeks. Christmas has already come and gone. Our Christmas was great. The kids were spoiled rotten. We were surrounded by the ones we love the most.
Ellie had the most beautiful Baptism on Sunday with her Aunt Adrienne, Uncle Danny and cousin Lincoln at her side. The "Other Sankers" were home for the holidays and were able to be apart of Ellie's special day. They are headed home and we miss them already.
Soon we will be celebrating the New Year and I hope the new year is as good to everyone I love as this year has been to me. I am blessed to be surrounded by my family and friends.
Merry Christmas 2007.....

We Got the Giggle

Finally! Ellie is laughing out loud! We are so excited. This is the quickest blog I have ever done. I hope everyone enjoys it as much as Mike and I did.

Yummy Yummy

Well as I promised here is Ellie Jane and her first food experience. I was surprised that she didn't make a terrible face. Today was my second day back at work and I was pleasantly surprised at how much better it was then the first. Ellie did great with Nana. She had some cereal and took a two hour nap. I was able to work for 5 hours with only taking one break to nurse her. I couldn't do this without my mommy. I am so fortunate to have her. I wouldn't know what to do without my supportive families. We are very blessed.

Emma's Class

Jingle Bell Rock

The Sanker Girls had a wonderful Christmas concert. This was Emma's first year in the band. All the performances were good and I recorded a few of them. Enjoy.

Hungry?

Is Ellie Hungry? That is the question. I think she pulled a Lincoln. She misses her cousin and wants to be just like him so she decided not to gain any weight during her third month. Ellie had her 4 month check up today and it did not go great. She gained 1 ounce. Then she got two needles and has been very upset since. Her doctor gave her the go ahead for rice cereal and we are hoping this will help with her calorie intake. I think my mom will also have an easier time with her while I am at work being able to give her cereal. I will report back how she does. The Holidays are here so she should have no problem packing on the weight like the rest of us.

It's a Girl

We are sooooooooo excited to find out today that my sister Karen is having a girl. She is due the first week in may. We can't wait to meet her. Congratulations Karen and Craig!

Busy Days

I have really wanted to blog more the last few weeks but life has been soooo busy. Annies Birthday was great. She had a Birthday party with lots of friends and family. She of course got too many gifts. This week has been really tough for me. I started back to work on Monday. I'm filled with sadness and guilt about it. I don't mind working part time but I don't feel ready to leave my baby just yet. I have been spending a lot of time searching for a stay at home job. That would just be perfect. I can't say that Shoprite has not treated me well. They have been really flexible for me. Well I just have to wait it out and see what happens. Everything happens for a reason right?

Happy Birthday Annie

Annie is now 7. My baby Is 7. Happy Birthday.

Playoff Weekend

The Sanker Family had an action packed weekend. Emma's team did great in the playoffs. They played two games yesterday and one today. The Calico Kicks won two of three games. We don't know the results of the round robin yet but I think they are in second place. What a great season. Mike and I enjoyed watching every soccer game and are looking forward to spring soccer. This weekend we decided to move the girls into separate rooms again. Annie is now sharing her old room with her little sister and Emma is all alone to enjoy her room......for now. Annie will for the most part have her room to herself because Ellie sleeps in our room and doesn't nap much. We are looking forward to this week and preparing for Annie's Birthday celebration this Saturday.
