Jeb and his sneaky sisters

I just heard the girls whispering in their bedroom which wouldn't normally bother me too much. This time, though, I was a bit concerned because I had just laid Jeb in their floor to let him watch Barney with his sisters. The whispering was quickly followed by uncontrollable laughter... which prompted to me run as fast as I could in there and see what they were doing to my poor baby boy. This is what I found. They had "sneaked around" and "wrapped him up like a girl baby" (their words) and thought they were pretty funny. I was relieved that was all they had done. And Jeb... he was oblivious to his girliness and was just happy with the extra attention.

Fence, Family, and Flood

Matt is building our new fence this weekend. I knew it would be quite a job, but wow.... His Uncle Jonathan helped him get the big piece of equipment you see in the pictures . Without that, I can't imagine how Matt could do it. Also, our brother in law, Pat, and G-Pops have been helping. They've made some nice progress, and probably could have gotten a little further along if not for the crazy flood this afternoon--ok, not actually a flood, but it was a lot of rain. Can't wait to show you the finished product. Also can't wait to actually have the finished product so I can send my kids outside!!





Drusy was 'supervising' with her new American Girl doll. We tried to throw this horse out in the move but got busted when the girls saw it in the trash heap. It's name is Penso... should be "Pinto" but the girls think Dora's horse is named Penso, and I can't convince them they're hearing it wrong. I tried explaining it again this afternoon to which Dru replied, "Mom--- You don't even know. His name is Calypso." I guess this is a change since yesterday.

Big Brave Girl

Belle was so brave today. We had a visit this morning with Dr. Brent for a check up and four shots before starting kindergarten. She didn't even shed a tear.. just pouted a little when it was all over. I think it hurt me more than it hurt her. I was so proud of her. Afterwards, we went to Toys R Us, and she picked out a toy...a Littlest Pet Shop, of course, her toy of choice lately. She definitely gets her bravery from her Mommy. (Stop laughing.)

Jeb

Poor Baby Jeb has been overlooked in blog posts recently. He's just the easiest little guy... so happy and easygoing. He is such a little sweetheart. I just went into his room where he was waking from a nap and got these shots. As soon as he sees me after a nap, his little face just lights up. I love my boy baby.

This is the view I had when I got to his crib.

What do you think, Mr. Josh? Future Shiloh qb? (I hear you recruit.... We're waiting.)

Sweet 'Stella's Birthday

My baby girl turned 4 today. I can't believe in a few short weeks she'll be starting k-4. It's crazy how time gets away from us. We had a little family party tonight with grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Drusy had a ball and felt like a princess.

This morning, Daddy left his little girl flowers, candy, and a musical card. She was in heaven.







The cake was, of course, courtesy of Rick's Bakery. We just 'spruced' it up a bit.

Happy Birthday, Estella Dru. We sure love you.

Can you even stand it?

Have you ever seen anything so precious? Bring that baby home already! (Read about Zach and Erin's adoption journey HERE. And say a prayer while you're at it for a safe journey home.)

Cold Busted

I left Jeb alone in the girls' room for maybe 30 seconds today, and when I came back in THIS is what I found. Already mackin' on the chicks....
