it was a monday

monday was one of those days that just started as an off day.

i got irritated by someone and then got irritated with myself for getting so furious that i started ruining my own day by letting someone else's words affect me.

oh well.

then the hubby worked on the durango in the garage while i hung out with the littles.

poundcake was extra strong willed today and it got the better of me a couple of times.

little e got woken up from two naps and i was starting to think my poor baby boy may actually not get a nap into today. but thankfully he did.

after the kids naps and i snuck in a cat nap too. it was lovely. all three of us nestled on the daybed with betty in a ball by my legs and jasper on the floor.
 i was content.

i let the anger slip away, i started to care less that i still couldn't find my phone charger to my dead phone and realized once again how lucky i am to be the mom of these two amazing babies of mine.

i love them so. i love them so. oh how i love them so.

day to day life

so i realized today that i need to do more current updates of our day to day life as this has become my most common form of journaling.

work for bryan slowed down a couple of weeks ago and he has been laid off until next year.

we are enjoying having him home with us. it is so fun to actually spend dinner together as a family.

monday we took little e in for an eeg and most likely find out the results next monday or tuesday. that is my guess anyways. e did really well during the test. he did have to be asleep while they monitered him, he was so worked up after having the electrodes hooked up to him. finally i climbed into the hospital bed next to him, as per requested. the ladies doing the tests commented on how happy e is and asked if he is always like this. i replied with a yes and smiled inside myself. i was blessed with an angel baby. during these appointments poundcake has been staying at my grandma holman's. she has the best toys from when my mom was little and a piano to boot. poundcake loves to play the piano. bry just found a little piano at the local thrift for her this last saturday and she loves, he does too though.

it's cute.

 poundcake at the park by our house. her and her daddy go there often lately although it's not warm enough to wear a tank top. it is getting cold here peeps.

four months

 i can't believe it has already been a little over four months since this little boy was placed on my chest and forever in my heart. he is the sweetest baby. he is a constant joy. seriously he is.

weight: 15 lbs 8oz.

height: 26 inches. 95%

milestones:  he can rollover both ways now! and he is almost able to sit up unsupported.

new interests: he still loves to suck on his fingers, but also loves to suck on his new key ring to help him while he teethes.

favorite food: milk baby!

favorite toys: his o ball. it is colorful and he loves to hold it and look at it.

anything else to report: he has an appointment tomorrow to see if we can find an answer to the seizures. i hope and pray he will have no more and he will be healthy. i love him so much. he is amazing. he talks so much. for hours at a time. it is adorable and funny. he has a minor bit of toricollis so i do excersices with him everyday to stretch the muscles in his neck.

 

love you little boo.

cutest tinkerbell plus a sleepy dragon

my cute kiddos on all hallows eve.

they are pretty sweet peeps!

 poundcake didn't quite understand why she was getting candy, but she wasn't going to ask why either. she especially liked the tootsie rolls from gg.

 these are the cutest shoes ever. they jingle when she walks.

 my sleepy dragon.

 she wears this costume any chance she gets. she loves tinkerbell.

 e with gg. i love the look he is giving her in this photo.

 he makes such cute faces.

i hope poundcake especially enjoyed it. e just wanted to sleep.

so long peeps.

a messy love

 i just uploaded these pictures of g.

it may have been from earlier this summer, but this is so our day to day life.

we love this this room in our house and spend the most time here.

g is usually playing or getting into something and she also naps here.

there is always laundry needing some folding and books ready to be read.

but there is also a happy family, who doesn't mind a little mess.

young prince

last night was a hard night.

this little guy, my young prince had what the doctors think may have been a seizure.

it was sad and scary to watch and bry and i just felt helpless.

we love our little prince so much.

he is honestly the sweetest baby and has such a sweet spirit.

he is so happy and laughs and talks to us all of the time.

i am so grateful to be his mom.

what a blessing he and g are in my life.

 

life is precious.

i am reminded of what is truly important.

e's blessing

On October 15, 2012 we blessed our sweet little e.

 here is the setup, pre open house.

 i found this picture at swiss days. i saw it and teared up. 

what a beautiful picture of our Saviour smiling at a beautiful baby.

there is nothing more perfect then a baby.

innocent, pure, full of life. 

the baby in the picture reminded me of my little e and i fell in love.

it was perfect for the blessing.

 here is the spread. pumpkin bread, choc. chip pumpkin bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin pie bars and cranberry bread. we also had a vegetable platter and grandma holman's famous clam chowder.
