Joseph at 5 months

He sure is cute!








He's starting rice cereal....not a fan just like my other baby's. He's loving this bumbo that he sits in. He's talk, talk, talking all the time. We are all a little nervous that his personality is already showing signs of being very intense. ie: There have been times when I haven't been able to go right in to pick him up after his nap and by the time I get there he will really be screaming. There's been a couple of times that he's pulled his blanket over his face and, boy oh boy, he'll  really let me have it! He'll scream and scream at me and will not be consoled until he decides to forgive me.

We are loving his shout outs, his open mouth kisses, his cuddles into our necks, and toothless smile. Now, I would sure be a happy mom if he could sleep just a titch longer at night.

Day of Thanks #9

So thankful for my mom who will come shopping with me, or watch my kids from time to time, or takes a basket full of shirts to iron and brings them back nicely pressed (Aaron is super thankful for that), or when she calls just to see how I'm doing. Yep! Super thankful for this lady in my life.

So thankful for a warm, clean, comfortable home. I'm especially mindful of those who have recently lost their homes and comforts due to the horrific hurricane. So many prayers for them.

Day of Thanks #1

Good, healthy food

Halloween 2012

Pretty much, the whole day was a whirlwind. Fun and fast! The kids were BURSTING with anticipation!



The kids and I went to see Hannah in the school Halloween costume parade. We waited, and waited, and waited. This is what the kids thought of all the waiting.



It sure was worth it though to see this little cutie!



She made the perfect Cinderella!
We had cousins over for Mom's yummy chili and then headed out with the 100's of children in our neighborhood to trick or treat.




Joe was a perfect angel the whole time! Love this baby so darn much!!!
So nice to live in a neighborhood where we can just go up and down a couple of streets and be finished. The  kids were thrilled with their Halloween baskets and I was thrilled it wasn't really all that much! Well, considering what my bag use to look like when I went trick or treating.


*Worth mentioning. It was the warmest Halloween on record. I've trick or treated in rain and snow and bitter cold, but never bare feet. Saw many kids running around without shoes on. Crazy! No complaints here though. It was a gorgeous night!

**Happy Birthday to my brother Travis. I love you!!!
