Today was Anna’s last day of preschool! They had fun activities planned for the kids, including a bounce house and picnic lunch.
Anna and Mommy put together gifts for her teachers to thank them for all of their hard work this year. We think they turned out cute!
Anna will still attend the summer program while I’m home with Emma, and when I return to work in July, but will be moving to the elementary school in the fall! We are very proud of her!
Way to go, Anna!
Emma Lauren was born on Monday, April 16, 2012 at 6:40 a.m. She weighed 7 lbs. 6 oz., and was 19 inches long. She is the spitting image of her big sister, and couldn’t be more perfect! We are so blessed to have another beautiful baby girl!
Proud Big Sister!

2011 was a fast and furious year for the Weston’s!
Shannon started a new job last summer in Grand Blanc, so he is no longer driving to Saginaw! He gave up vacation time, but so far, it has been worth having him so close to home!
Gabrielle started her nursing career at GRMC. She is in the cardiac intensive care unit, and learning so much every day! In May, she started third shift, which has been difficult at times, but we are making it work!
Anna turned 4 years old in 2011. She also started a new school closer to home. She is learning so much in preschool, and we are gearing up to send her to kindergarten in the fall (how is that even possible?!).
As pretty much everyone knows by now, we are preparing to welcome Emma Lauren into our family! She is expected mid-April, so watch for plenty of updates from her as well!
As you can see, Mom didn’t have a lot of time to keep up with the blog! The past year was filled with a lot of changes for our family, and we have been excited to share them with our family and friends! What a year!!
We are expecting this year to be just as blessed, and we can’t wait to share our crazy life with you all!
Love,
Shannon, Gabrielle, Anna, AND Emma Weston
Mom & Dad weren’t too happy with the mess I made with the powder, lotion, and deodorant. I got put in my bed very soon after this!
The day before Mom started at the hospital, we went sledding with Aunt Becca. I had a lot of fun going down the biggest hill!!
The Shrine Circus was in town, and we went with the Holt’s. It was a lot of fun, even though it seemed each kid took their turn being grumpy! We saw lots of clowns, lions, elephants. horses, and acrobats, but our favorite act was the silly pigs! Later, we got to even snack on some popcorn and cotton candy! It was a lot of fun with good friends!
The Moms & their girls!
