A snow day...

See, we do have snow in the south!!!! Today was a snow day! Lacey was here and we bundled up the kids and headed outside. The boys loved it! They had fun making snowballs, eating the snow, and playing on the swings! Jayne Elizabeth stayed outside less than a minute, then back to the heated playroom. It was nice to enjoy the outdoors despite the freezing temperatures.

Our weekend

"Aunt" Kim was here this weekend from Nashville. Kim and I met while I was working at Vanderbilt Sports Medicine as an athletic trainer, she was my first friend there! Since then she has been a big part of our family, all the while she lived in Nashville! Our boys will always have a special place for Aunt Kim in their hearts. When we delivered the boys in Nashville at Vandy, she was there! But then Johnathan and I moved in with her while we waited the seven weeks for Joseph to be healed in the NICU at Vandy! We will never forget her support and love during those days! However this weekend the boys kept Aunt Kim running....literally!! She played with the boys and helped out while Anthony began his one week on-call stretch! ugh! This will be a long week! It was nice to have Aunt Kim here to start us off right! Mommy also enjoyed the girl talk and time! We had a great Sunday afternoon! We enjoyed having our good friends of Joe Lowe Photography take some ADORABLE newborn pictures of Jayne Elizabeth!! I cant wait to share them with you! They are so cute! Thanks Joe and Dana!

shhhhhh....

Again, Baby Jayne Elizabeth sleeping. She is doing some better with sleep. We still have a night owl on our hands! She sleeps most of the day, then wakes up bright eyed about 9 PM. We usually convince her to return to sleep around 11 PM, then up to feed her about every 4 hours at night. She is on a great 3 hour feeding schedule during the day. Jayne Elizabeth is a great baby!! She is so content, and beginning to show her personality. The funny story today was when she was sleeping in her bouncy seat. Joseph could not keep his sweet little body and hands off of her. Anthony and I kept reminding him "be gentle" and "your sister is sleeping." But we finally figured it out!!!! Jayne Elizabeth had cows on her pajamas! Joseph wanted to point out each cow on her pajamas and say "moo." It was so cute!


P.S. What color hair does Jayne Elizabeth have?? Leave us a comment, and let us know what you think!!! strawberry blonde??? red??? brown??? auburn?? light brown??

brrrr...It's cold outside!

Wow! We live in the south, but that doesnt guarantee warm weather!! We have had snow flurries and tonight expect single digit temperatures! School is cancelled in the morning, and I think most of us will be staying indoors. Yesterday the boys were able to go outside, and enjoyed running in the backyard. It was a very short play time outdoors, but they sure were cute! The boys are so adorable at this age!

Our house

Brothers!! Johnathan and Joseph have discovered how much fun it is to pull each other in the wagon. They started this on their own, and it is so cute. Johnathan is very good at tugging Joseph around in the wagon, however Joseph needs a little help to pull Johnathan!

























Sweetie Pie Jayne Elizabeth, a sleeping beauty!




















Double Trouble!! When Joseph was quiet for more than five minutes, I went looking for him! I found him sitting in our closet on the shoe rack! He was kind enough to remove all the shoes and then have a seat! Johnathan found this location fun too! Monkey see, monkey do!
