And then there was THREE!

Yes, that is right! Warlick Baby #3 is on the way! We are due December 12! We are super excited! I feel like I was just pregnant....I think I was. We have had our ultrasound, the baby's heartbeat and size look great! There is only one!! The boys and baby #3 will be 18 months apart-- how perfect! Here is the picture from this time last year:

Johnathan's night at the farm

Grandma and Grandpa Holmes took me to the farm for the night! This was my first night away from home without having my Mommy and Daddy...and I loved it! Grandma Holmes even took lots of pictures for Mommy. I did so good that Grandpa and Grandma Holmes even volunteered to keep me or Joseph one night a week!! Our Mommy and Daddy are excited about spending quality time with us one at a time! Mommy and Daddy are so much more rested with one baby. Our parents were worried that we would miss each other, but we loved the one on one attention!! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Holmes!

This cowboy's hat!

Uncle Clay and Grandpa Holmes came to Daddy's new clinic and cooked a prime rib dinner for all the girls in appreciation for their dedication and work during our move. We were there too! We enjoyed lunch! Joseph loved walking around outside with Grandma Holmes and watching the bobcat move the dirt! Johnathan loved Uncle Clay's cowboy hat........


Sneeze, ka-chew...

We still have runny noses! Mommy feels so bad for us! Our noses keep running, and running! So today she let us both take a nap with her, in her and Daddy's bed! We sleep better propped up on a pillow, and our parent's pillows are our favorites! When Mommy came back to get us we were snuggled up beside each other....

Back then....

The debate is ongoing!! Who do we look like?? Mommy thinks we look like both her and Daddy! She thinks one of us favors each parent! What do you think?!?!? Leave us comments!

Supply and Demand...


My sister-in-law sent me and the boys these shirts! We have all laughed about them!! They are so funny! Yes, I am still breastfeeding, but I do plan to wean them over the next month! The boys are fast approaching their first birthday!! It has been a great year, and I am thankful for the supply and demand of two!

GRANDparents

A big thank-you to Daddy's Dad, Grandpa Tim! Grandpa Tim, Grandma Nadine, Uncle Kent, and Uncle Ross spent spring break in Tennessee with us! They all helped us so much this week. They cooked, cleaned, and worked hard getting the new vet clinic ready! The boys really enjoyed having them here!

Before the storms

The boys ran errands with Mommy today, then came home and played outside a little while. Joseph loves to take off his shoes, and then he chews on them! When he is in the back seat, sitting in his carseat, he is so entertained with his shoes!
The Perfect Pair

A big thank you to all the friends and neighbors that were concerned about us during the tornados yesterday. We ended up at Mrs. Becky's house until Daddy could get to us! Thank you Mrs. Becky and Mr. Kim for taking care of us and especially taking care of Mommy! Everyone is safe, and no damage!

Uh Oh....

This morning our Mommy was helping Daddy by addessing envelopes for the new vet clinic grandopening. But when she went to her room to get ready for the day, we had fun with the box of envelopes she left in the floor!!! All she could do was laugh at us when she saw what kept us entertained!

Say Cheese!

The boys really enjoy finger foods. Their favorite is finely shredded cheese! Johnathan LOVES to eat, all the time! Joseph is more precise in his food selections! They are doing great, and gaining weight all the time. If you have any good ideas for new beginner finger foods, I would appreciate the suggestions. I am more cautious than I probably need to be when giving them finger foods! We love healthy snacks, with a very low risk of choking!! Puffs are also a favorite, however they are poor nutritiously and have a low caloric value! I would love suggestions!

Bridesmaid Dress Shopping

Mommy took us and Daddy with her to Knoxville today to find her bridesmaid dress for Tanya's wedding in July.... we cant wait to go to Louisiana for the wedding! It was fun, all the girls in the shop loved us! Daddy kept saying he is glad his wedding is done! We had a busy day of shopping for the dress, the mall, the children's shoe store and out for lunch! We were good boys through it all!

Dr. Brock and Mrs. Judy

Dr. Brock Wagner and his wife Judy own the veterinarian practice that Daddy worked for in highschool and college in Indiana. They are truly Daddy's mentors and have became great friends to our family. They stayed with us over the weekend and helped us get the new vet clinic ready. Also, they cooked delicious meals for us!! We love to visit with them, and dream of Dr. Brock retiring to Tennessee and joining Daddy's new practice.

Swinging

The rain has kept us indoors, and the boys are restless! So I decided that maybe their swings would entertain them for a few minutes. I realize that they haven't been in their swings in months and they are much bigger now! But, it worked!! The boys laughed and played in their swings, and I attempted to finish laundry.

Then I heard a loud "click, click, click!!" I immediately dropped the laundry and came to the playroom! I found Johnathan turned around and grabbing the bars and holding on the rotating leaves!! Ugh!! Needless to say they have out grown their swings! The remainder of the day we played in the floor!

A rainy day indoors

Today we went to see Grandma Holmes, and then we brought her home! We played inside most of the day because of the rain. Daddy was off work today so he was able to play with us while Mommy and Grandma Holmes prepared to come home. Grandpa Holmes came to visit and picked up Grandma. Daddy cooked us all dinner before they headed to their house. We look forward to better weather, maybe even sunshine like we saw in Florida!
Joseph is a happy boy!

Prayer

Grandma is home!! We brought Grandma Holmes home from the hospital!! She is feeling better, and we are so glad to see her again!

Joseph and Grandma Holmes at the hospital

Please pray for my Mom, Grandma Holmes! She is in the hospital, and we are praying for an accurate diagnosis with complete healing. The doctor's are not sure what is going on, but she is in great hands. The boys are staying with "Aunt" Tina during the day so I can be at the hospital.
Thank you for the prayers.
