I guess I've got some work to do (finishing this list) before I get to work (reading). Maybe Matt and I can split up the list, 4 books each category. Thanks Leah for the motivation!

Merry Christmas from the Greco's

Here is our Christmas card picture for this year. We hope you all had a great time celebrating the birth of Jesus!!

Mr. and Mrs. Jeremy Kozdon!!!

Jeremy Kozdon is married! We had a great time celebrating this new marriage with lots of old friends yesterday. The bride and groom were perfectly happy! Boy, has Jeremy come a long way from that shy freshman at UCSC all those years ago. God has done a great work in him. Congratulations Jeremy and Jen!

Love this onesie, etc.

I first saw a similar onesie with the same saying (Does this diaper make my butt look big??) at Nordstrom for $20, on sale! Then, I found this one at a local 2nd hand store for a few dollars.

Gianna is sleeping a lot these days, so I don't have too many awake photos of her. Also, trying to get 3 kids to smile for the camera, at the same time, has been a bit challenging.

Ezra is loving his little sister and Justus has been pretty good, not too bad, but not totally interested either. This week has gone by pretty fast! We went to the park today for the first time in a long time. The boys were able to play with the Martin boys and Gianna slept the whole time. She has definitely been making this adjustment to 3 children pretty easy. We are so blessed!

1st Day Alone

After having all of last week off, Matt finally went back to work today. I wasn't sure how things would be with me and the 3 children, but the day has been pretty smooth! Gianna had a Dr.'s appt. today and I was able to drop the boys off at my friend Jill's house. Then, when we all got home, they all went down for a nap at the same time! So, I did some dishes and now will put my feet up and see what is on the Food Network. Not too bad for the first day on my own!

Here she is!!

Gianna Giselle Greco arrived Thursday morning, November 29th at 6:26am! She was 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 inches long. Here are some pictures!
