Adorable Babies

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 […]

Just Call Me Aunt Bee. We all want to be appreciated.

Today I left Alan with all three boys, ages 2 to 6, while I went to the chiropractor’s office and to Target.  I heard the sweetest, sweetest words when I got home. “It was….that kid…..no, not just him, that one too.  Oh my gosh.  April, please don’t leave me here alone with them again.” “Where’s Caleb?” “Huh?  Oh, I don’t know.  He’s fine.  At least he’s been entertaining himself!” BAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
