Cousin Clover and Penelope 8 days apart
Last December we have our newest addition to the Rogers Family. Miss Penelope Francis has been and excellent sister and Daughter so far. I am not sure what I did to get such a good, cute baby but I am grateful. She started smiling right at a month old and now she reaches for things and she is less then two months still. She isn't very fussy at all. When she is waiting to eat she just watches me intently instead of crying about it. At night we have had a lot of success with her sleeping schedule. She is already having 7 hour nights and it is a blessing! Kelton has been such a good big Brother. He asks to hold her often and he is always there to help her with her pacifier if she drops it. He is the self ordained "Have you washed your hands?" sheriff of the house. In Kelton's class this month they learned about castles and he got to make one with John and I to go show off, we had a lot of fun. It is crazy how is learning to read and takes spelling tests, I am so proud of him. John has been such and awesome support and rock through it all. He is an amazing father. It is funny to think that the first few nights we had Penelope home I was asking John how to do everything. He knows how to take care of his family and I am is awe of him all of the time. Not only is he great with the kids but he makes me feel so special for just being his wife. It is rare he misses a beat. Everything from noticing when I am on the verge of tears or dropping flowers at my work for my birthday. I am a blessed girl. Last week i went back to work full time and I am still adjusting. I really miss my little ones. Lucky, my Mom has been watching Penelope for us this last week.
This month my brother Peter, his wife Kristin and their new babe Clover moved up to Utah from San Diego. I am really happy because they are going to be renting our Mother In Law apartment and live so close. It is nice seeing all of their stuff moved in. The apartment itself looks more like a home then it ever has. Also, Kristin is going to be our Nanny and it is a relief to I know our Penelope will be in good hands hanging out with her cousin Clover. This morning I went to go visit Pete on my way to work at his new job because this is his first day. He works at the Starbucks off Redwood and about I215. I dropped off a string cheese and a costume ring to entertain him while he made me a tea. It was a nice way to start my Monday. I sure did miss visiting my siblings at work! I miss my siblings in general. Now I have Sam, Melinda, Laura and Pete in Utah. Though Melinda lives Kinda far in Logan and Laura is in Lindon. This month Sarah is coming town to visit, that's right, a whole month! And at the end of the Month Jake, Reagan, Jessie and Jessie's Brother are coming to meet up with all of us. I am so excited! I am sad Jake's daughter Piper won't be able to make the trip since she is in such a fragile condition. I hope we can make it out to NY to visit her within the next year or two.
My life is great and I am full of thanks and love for everything. The aftermath of having a baby is hectic but I am still here and kicking!
Love, Mimi Rogers
