ER

*I added this to the One Hot Mess link-up via The Fike Life, because it is too good not to*

Not a post for the faint of heart. Vin must have realized he had not yet secured the position as our first and only child who needed a trip to the ER, so he checked that off of his bucket list tonight. And just like that - poof - our 9 year and 1 day stint of kids, minus the ER is over. Thank God it was as peaceful and stress-free as it could have been. They whisked our whole family away to the pediatric floor as soon as we got there and gave us a private room filled with toys, nickelodeon, and Popsicles, and he settled in quite nicely, right quick. They also had a play room filled with a wii and a Xbox for the three other kids and Matt. Most importantly, what looked like a wound that would require a suture, was a wound that they gave us a choice to suture and we unanimously chose NO! So, for the bargain price of $100, the Bronzis partied it up in the ER  this evening; and all the kids agreed that it was an awesome night out.

Frank is 9

And happy birthday to Dad, too! (But, Dad, you only get one pic)

We had a good day, which began with Mass on Divine Mercy Sunday and the canonization of two popes. What a day to be born! 

He wanted to go walk around the mall, so that is what he did - mall walk. And the cake and toys were a hit, too - as always.

Happy Birthday, Frankie. We love you!

Happy Easter

This was the one shot I got via self-timer with the camera on top of the trash can. Nothing but class here.

We were able to eat an early supper outside, and the weather was gorgeous. I hope everyone else had as nice an Easter as was had at our home.

Happy Easter!

10 Finger and 10 Toes

Matt and I took Vincent this morning to go with us to get the ultrasound done for the baby. I don't know if the baby was just that more cooperative than Vincent and Pete were, or if the tech was just THAT MUCH BETTER. Anyhow, we left with some decent pictures of the baby, knowing that it had a face (unlike Vincent - his tech could not see his), 10 fingers and 10 toes, but still don't know if it is a he or a she. I was very tempted to have the tech share the sex with us, but no one else wanted to know, so we wait.

Teddy Bear Baby

Stop with the pictures, already!

Big yawn. Clearly the Baby was done with ultrasound.

 We are over the halfway mark, and I definitely expect the second half of the pregnancy to go by much faster than the first half, which has been fast in my opinion. We will meet this little one before we know it. And, one of the big perks to not knowing the sex is that we can have a big pool going boy/girl, weight (the baby weighed in at 1 lb even today), and birth date (the baby measured about 10 days ahead my estimated due date)! I am so thankful the baby is healthy and safe, thank you, God :)

Catch Me if You Can

It's been about a year since Vincent started to do this:

And, he has not looked back!
