Within the fog of being sick and rundown here lately myself and then having John Michael wake up with croup in the middle of the night last night, thus requiring a trip to the ER in the early morning hours…….this had me absolutley rolling in the floor tonight!

We started to flip through an episode of [...]

Thanks to you all for your wonderful advice about our sleep situation.  Last night was much better!  Thank goodness.  I finally got some good sleep for a few hours in a row and I’m feeling better today.  I think I have a sinus infection.  I hope it clears up soon!
The weather today is SO pretty!  [...]

I’ve been down this road before…the no-sleep road.  Don’t even get me started on all the sleep issues that we had with John Michael.  I could write a novel!  I’m not complaining because I know how much worse it could be, but I’ll be the first to admit that I need my sleep!
Yes, it’s part [...]

Guess who’s 4 months old?!

And what a joy he is!

It’s amazing how 4 months passes in a flash!

Remember this post, about how I wondered how my heart could hold more love in it for a new baby I had never met?

Well, one look into these baby blues and I laugh at how silly I was [...]

It’s been a weekend of firsts…or this could be entitled “The longest post ever, with the most pictures…ever!”
Let’s start out on Thursday.  Maybe Thursday doesn’t count as the weekend, but work with me, it’s going in with my weekend post!
Thursday was playgroup and it was a first that John Michael didn’t freak out and scream [...]

We decided that it was time for Matthew to try out our beloved jumperoo.  Oh, how John Michael loooved to jump in that thing!  It used to crack us up how he would just jump and jump.  We were proud to pass on the tradition last night to Matthew:

We couldn’t believe he could spin the [...]

Matthew has started grabbing things that are in front of him!  He’s so much more alert and starting to really focus on objects!  I usually sit him in my lap at the table and lately he has been grabbing at everything he can!  He has thrown the phone off the table and most recently he [...]

I’m working through a great book called “100 Verses Every Mom Needs to Know”.  Jordan got it for me for Christmas and I really like it.  I’m trying to put up a verse every few weeks so that I can start memorizing.  So, what’s the best place in the house to see it about 45 [...]

John Michael’s Ga-Ga gave him a nice big-boy haircut last weekend.  His curls were starting to turn inward instead of curling outward and thus, it was time for a big haircut!.  His hair grows SO fast and I could probably have it trimmed every 3 weeks!  He looks kind of different…a little more grown up.  [...]

We had the most gorgeous weather last weekend.  We woke up on Saturday and had a yummy breakfast and as we sat there and talked and looked out at the sunshine, we thought we should actually do something with our day instead of just hanging around or just going to a local park.  So, we [...]
