Ring any Bells???


Ring any bells, "Hum, isn't that special?"


My big helper. He is always wanting to help me, "Washadishes." I love being a mom and moments like these remind me why it has always been a dream of mine.

Random Pics



My sister and her husband came to visit after Nate was born and we had a great time. They helped us decorate our Christmas tree. We also watched the movie, Elf, and it was great. Tommy and I watch that movie every year and it is just as funny as the first time.



We enjoyed watching Caleb decorate the tree this year and he loved it. He was really upset when it was all over and wanted to take them all off and do it again.





Tommy and Caleb have been bonding so much since Nate has come into our lives. I am always nursing the baby,at least it feels like it, and Caleb is left to play alone. Tommy has been great at making Caleb feel special in this transiton time and they have become so close. Their favorite thing to do is wrestle and play with the train set.



Caleb is enjoying his new little brother and kisses him all the time. I am not sure what Nate thinks of his big brother because he is always being startled by him in some way. He also gets poked in the eyes, hit in the head, smothered by a pillow, or sat on by Caleb; I don't think Caleb is very high up on his "nice list" right now. I hope that changes soon.




Caleb's favorite time of day, "Train Time!"





His new favorite getup. I am not sure why he likes this so much but he puts this on everyday.



Oh, and we must not forget the soccer ball. I am not sure why he think he needs the snow gloves to throw it????

Thanksgiving in Prospect


We celebrated Thanksgiving with Tommy's family in Prospect, KY, which is about 20 minutes from our place. They rented a house for a few days there to be near us for Thanksgiving. I had just given birth to Nate so they were kind to come our way. I didn't take many pictures because baby Nate was eating every two hours and colicy. Caleb had a stomach virus and was throwing up, so I think I am excused for not taking many pics. Poor Caleb just laid around all weekend and watched cartoons. He would get up and play here and there but not for long because it would wear him out. Here is a pic of Honey and Caleb pooped!!! So cute.


Cousin Ashtin is getting in her lovin' as much as she can. Isn't she so cute???!!! She and her sister Brianna loved getting to hold Nate. We had a great time with them!!!

Colic, that is all I have to say!!!! It makes even a grown person cry!!!!!!!!!!! No kidding!
Nate is doing much better with the Colic. His stomach seems to be getting better everyday and he is sleeping like a champ at night. He is so precious and sweet. He has the sweetest cry and it is so soft. He loves to be held and is not as independant as his big brother. He would much rather snuggle with Mommy and I love it. I am savoring each moment with him because it passes by so fast and he is already getting so big. He is about 12 pounds now and not slowing down. He smiled a few times at me yesterday and tried to talk to me too. I am so thankful to God that he has blessed me with three sweet boys to nurture and love.
