John David is now 9 months old, so I figured it was time for another “remember when” kind of post. Check them out!!! This collage has each of my boys, at 9 months of age. Can you tell which baby is which?? Isn’t it funny how people think JD is chubby???? He’s our thinnest baby ever. ; ) You can definitely tell which boy is so old that I don’t have very many digital pictures of him. I did have […]
» Read moreTonight everyone in this house is seriously exhausted. I am probably the only one that is still awake, and it’s only 10:40 pm!!! It’s been a busy, busy week. The biggest and most exciting news–and I have several bits of news!–was Joshua’s great success today!! Joshua ran his very first 5K race, and when I say that the boy ran to win, you’d better believe it. He took off like a shot, zipped through his first mile like it was […]

If you read my last post, Our Vacation Nightmare, then you know that this wasn’t our best week. Now it’s Friday night, and as I sit here, with Alan beside me, and all of our children sleeping soundly, none of that even matters anymore. I love it when we sit and talk about all the cute and funny things our children have done lately. And whose heart wouldn’t melt from having little almost-three-years old Dan keep visiting my room, after […]

JD is now 8 months old and just as precious as ever. Let’s talk babies! Just for the record: Joshua began cruising around furniture at 7 months and crawling at 9 months and walking at 12. Caleb wasn’t much of a cruiser until later, but I don’t remember! I do remember that he didn’t crawl until 10 months, and he walked at 13 months. Also: Caleb was the same height as JD but 4 pounds heavier……wowzers Daniel: He became a […]

Today you get to laugh at my misery. I have a hilarious mom story for you. Before the “mommy brain” kicks in and I forget, I must share this quote that I am still smiling about: This morning I put JD in his high chair and began prepping his breakfast. (He is much easier to feed now than he used to be. It turns out that he will eat ANYTHING if you mix it with applesauce.) Daniel LOVES to feed the […]
» Read moreJohn David and me 6 weeks postpartum I have returned to wearing make-up –finally– but my hair straightener will probably be completely rusted before it sees usage again! I just love this little outfit. By the way, after Daniel the Chubby it’s nice to have a baby who can fit into newborn socks! He’s still grow-grow-growing, and he still looks like Joshua to me. ********* The New Normal It’s been 7 weeks now, and I’m not […]
