Les Gleason

So in this New Year of 2009, in which I am once again threatening to write more blog’s, I have decided to write on whatever comes to my mind rather than specifically writing about a recent vacation or event. In lieu of the Steelers winning the Superbowl, our City of Raleigh getting 6-inches of snow, a fabulous new era with Obama in the White House, and Maeli’s 2^nd birthday, I will instead write about how funny Maeli has been lately. I know, go figure that my topic will be about my adorable daughter. This is just too funny to pass up and as I just said above, I am going to write whatever comes to that pea brain of mine. Now, I hope to add a picture to click and you’ll find some photo’s of our snow day, Maeli’s birthday, and other stuff but it won’t necessarily coincide with my topic.

(Above:Two great pictures that Auntie Marci (Narsi in Maeli tongue) took while at Hilton Head…click to see)

I’m back!!!!!!  Whether that’s good or bad for my fans (Hi Mom!) or if I’ll even keep it up has yet to be seen.  I thought I would start this year with a picture-less post….and then thought better of that idea.  I’ve only put this one picture up for now (Greetings!), as the year continues; I will try to make a point of posting our current events with pictures.  So for this post, you are stuck with my random thoughts…arranged as they come to me.

So let’s start! Read the rest of this entry »

Sean doesn’t write anymore and I’m not much of a blogger but we have to post our latest pictures!

We’ve been very busy, going to friends in Virginia, visiting science museums, enjoying the “famous” North Carolina State Fair and celebrating Halloween!

Maeli didn’t enjoy wearing a costume or cared very much about the whole Halloween celebration, still too young but it was still a fun evening.

Anyway, here are the latest pictures, some were taken two nights ago!

I still have not gathered the nerve to blog again….but here’s a link to photo’s from our summer trip to France. The photo’s have been on this site since our trip but without an easy link to access them…please enjoy!

More pictures, still no blog! It’s coming I promise….in the meantime, here are some of the cutest photo’s that we’ve taken to date! ENJOY!

No blog!

But here are some pictures!  (will Blog later!)  ENJOY

Because of the risk of sicko’s….a few photo’s were removed this morning that contained naked baby pics.  The tub pics remain as the baby privates are concealed….however, the frontal and rear Maeli pics were removed due to the risk of pervs and the pervert police.  Grandparents may email me to receive future bribery material!!!

Well the French-American Gleason’s packed up last week for our journey to the frigid American mid-west!  We departed Thursday morning for Chicago O’Hare airport to meet cousin Megan and Uncle Dave.  Both of whom have never met Miss Maeli.  Well, we packed light…..for ourselves but once we added the Pac-n-play and all other necessary baby items……we were quite loaded.  We travelled without incident and to our shock, without delay to O’Hare.  I know, you’re thinking I made this up there must have been a delay but no, Chicago received us on time!  So we hit the cell phone on the tarmac and Meg and Dave had our rental van equip with baby seat ready outside baggage claim.  We meeted and greeted……then grunted and groaned in 20-degree weather installing the stupid baby seat.  Finally, with seat properly installed, we left for the 4-hour+ drive to Bushnell and the Grandparents.

Finally, we had Maeli’s first birthday party! Her birthday was on the 31st of January but we only managed her party on the 9th of Feb… Our little one decided to be sick on the eve of her party, so we had to reschedule.

I was not as organized as the week before. I didn’t do anything on Friday, apart from her cake, and when I got up on Saturday, I still didn’t panic. People were arriving at 11am and only when 10:30 came and I wasn’t showered or the baby dressed, did I start running around like a headless chicken. I think my husband was actually playing “Scrabulous” on Facebook that morning…

It all worked out, everyone came and everybody was super generous as usual. I did specify “no gifts” on the invitation but got laughed at on several occasions. Maeli had a good time, danced when everyone sang happy birthday and blew her little candles with Josh, Nate and Chloe’s help: very cute!

By the way, in case you were wondering, this is Steph writing!

For instance last Thursday, January 31, was Maeli’s first Birthday. The following Saturday was to be her first Birthday Party….but that was thwarted by her first sickness!!! That’s right, it was Thursday night about 10pm and we were just putting our books down and going to bed (yes, I read thank you very much). Through the baby monitor, we heard Maeli cough and make some noise. At night, she often makes noise in bed but usually she just continues to sleep…..but our parent alarms were going off with this one….the cough just wasn’t the same. I can’t describe what was different but Mom knew something was wrong. I think parents get a “Spider Sense” just like Spiderman did when something was wrong….and our spider sense was tingling!
