Happy Birthday Daddy!!!

Today is Valentine's Day and our Daddy's Birthday!! He is the best Daddy ( and animal doctor ) around! Daddy is in need of some rest and relaxation, so Mommy is taking the boys to the farm, and Daddy is spending the day with Jayne Elizabeth at home! Enjoy your day Daddy! Have fun relaxing with your little girl! We love you, thank you for working so hard so that Mommy can stay home with us!

Valentine's Day Cookies

The boys are enjoying Valentine's Day....they had sugar!! Johnathan was in love with the cookies, and Joseph liked to play with the beater. Special treats for special little boys!

Our Friday

Mommy loaded all three of us up and headed to town!! We had some shopping to do for Daddy! It was eventful, and there were some tears shed ( but not from Mommy!! ). Jayne Elizabeth needed to eat so we stopped by Daddy's office and the boys enjoyed a picnic snack while Jayne Elizabeth enjoyed her meal! Whew-- it was a busy day! We needed the pacifiers by the time we got home, but we did it!! Note the boys shirts, I love them!

Can you feel the love?

The boys had their Mother's Day Out Valentine's Day Party...and we wanted to be sure the kids looked festive! The boys brought goodies and cards to their friends, and brought home crafts that they made. I think the party went well, until Joseph bit a little boy's finger! Ugh..what do I do? To be honest, the little stinker has bit his brother and his Daddy! These boys stress a Mommy out! Are little brothers more "agressive" to each other? The boys play rough, and always get into what the other is doing. Is it a boy thing, a developmental phase, maybe a twin thing? Post a comment! The boys do adore each other, and are sleeping much better since we put them back in the same room! They are so cute but where is the love? ha!

Pink Alert, Pink Alert!

An Update on Jayne Elizabeth!! Jayne Elizabeth is doing great! She goes to bed about 10:30 each night at then wakes up to eat once, and up in the morning with her brothers about 6:30. This is great!! She breastfeeds well, and is a very happy little girl. She can entertain herself, and prefers to stretch out on the floor. This girl is not the swaddling type! No holding her down! She is learning to control her arms, so she is swinging them everywhere! She brings such joy to our lives, and her Daddy and I are so thankful for a little girl. She is precious, and a true angel!


















Did I tell you that I love having a little girl??!! I do!! I can't get enough of the bows!

Uh-oh!!....Uh-Oh!

So this week has been eventful! There was a death in the family so Grandpa Holmes went back to Florida. Joseph has been sick and had a doctor's appointment this morning for his runny nose and cough. He is fine. However Grandma Holmes has stayed in Tennessee and has been here to help! So today when the tornado watch was in place, and the severe weather started I remained calm. But- when we were all in the surrounded glass window play room, and a large tree fell onto the patio furniture about 15 feet from the back door-- I began to not remain calm! We lost power, and Grandma Holmes immediately began to help me wrangle kids into the bathroom! The weather passed quickly, and we are all just fine! But we will get a weather radio tomorrow! Meanwhile the boys will continue to find the down tree fascinating, and I will here uh-oh a thousand times!

Playdate at the State Park

The weather outside is gorgeous!! Anthony is off this weekend so we have enjoyed every minute! We met Joe, Brody and Briggs at the state park to play. The kids had a great time! The boys burned off some much needed energy from being limited to inside due to snow last week. It was a great day at the park, and my heart was warmed to see two great Dads play with their kids.






















The play gym was a hit with the boys! I think between the three boys they ran, hopped, walked, and fell down every inch of the equipment!







What a great Daddy! Joe brought the boys to the park! However Dana had to work the weekend. Briggs enjoyed his snack outside!

























And don't forget about the babies! Briggs and Jayne Elizabeth enjoyed their time together too! It looks like this is a match made in heaven! Big brothers playing, while the babies were sleeping!
