Rub-a-dub....

.....two little boys in the tub!! Bath time is one of their favorite parts of the day!! Anthony and I say "It's bath time, are you ready for a bath." They take-off toward the tub, following after each other, and then stand at the edge of the tub waiting! When they are all done playing in the tub, they get fussy and point at their towels hanging on the back of the closet door! It is so cute! Stay tuned....they are walking! Pictures soon!






Update

The website will not allow me to upload pictures!! I have tried every day this week, and when I try to post pictures I get back an error message! I will keep trying, but until then text will have to do!
The boys are great! They are both walking by theirselves! So cute!! They do not make it very far before their lack of balance gets the best of them, but they can walk and get a toy or to and from me, or across the living room! It is so cute. Johnathan enjoys walking more than Joseph. Joseph prefers to crawl and get their quicker than Johnathan!
Tonight will be Joseph's first night upstairs in his own room! Ugh....he hasn't slept through the night yet, but we have decided that it is time he is upstairs and away from us! He enjoys a nightly ( or even several times a night bottle ) so this is our effort to get him on the right track of learning to sleep through the night. Johnathan moved upstairs last month, and after about a week he began sleeping through the night....and is sleeping now until 7 Am!! Our hope and prayer is that Joseph learns quickly and is able to sleep peacefully in his own room.
We are all doing good, I feel great! Baby #3 is getting active, and we are beginning to get things prepared for all 3 kids! I hope to have pictures up soon!

Welcome Home Angels!!

Celebrate and Give Thanks!!! One year ago today Joseph was discharged from Vanderbilt, and we all came back to Crossville as a family for the first time! God is so good, what a great year! Again, a heartfelt thank you for the support and prayers. "Aunt" Kim please know how much we all still appreciate you allowing Johnathan and myself to move in with you until Joseph came home! These boys are so blessed.
Joseph's discharge day!Daddy bringing his family home......Home at last. I believe in miracles.......



Sleepy Boy

Our Joseph has not been eating as well this week. He has been super sleepy and vomitted twice! Now his little tummy has been upset.... However he is fun and happy as ever. Keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

Helping Mommy!

The boys enjoy "organizing" items on their level. There is nothing safe when they are awake! Even the dog Velvet has learned to get away when they head her direction! It is fun to watch them explore, but not as much fun to clean up!

Joseph and Johnathan organizing their shoes

The boys also enjoy "counting" their bibs...

Whew, all happened this morning!

Uncle Clay's wedding!

Wow!! The farm was beautiful! After months of preparing for the big day, everything looked great! Justina did an excellent job coordinating her vision for a wedding on the family farm! She was beautiful, and her colors complimented the setting well!! However, I undersestimated the physical and emotional stress of decorating and coordinating on the wedding day. It was exhausting, and I can't begin to thank our family friends enough for the countless hours of help during the three days to carry-out such a beautiful weekend. My life-long friend Ginger, the Larsons, Butlers, Hazelliefs, and Bill were a few of our behind the scenes friends to help execute the plans during the weekend! Clay and Justina are truly loved by so many. Both Clay and Justina did so much to prepare for the big day, and I think that the support showed by their friends and family truly shows how important they are as a couple. Please continue to pray for them as a couple as they begin their journey together as one through life...... Now, grab a coke and some popcorn, this slideshow is a long one!!

Uncle Clay's Rehearsal Dinner

This weekend Uncle Clay got married at the farm!! The rehearsal dinner was at Grandpa and Grandma Holmes' house. The rain really kicked in, so the party was moved inside. We think we saw Daddy getting blown away trying to hold onto the tent! The boys enjoyed the visitors!
