Another sweet trip with my family comes to an end.  I think this was the longest I'd been with them while away from Curtis-two weeks.  Bittersweet emotions as I left.  I was so ready to get home and reunite my little family of four, but a part of me will always be in SoCal.  I miss them dearly.  Makes the visits that much sweeter though (o;  Thank you Thomas and Mel for allowing me LOTS of extra baby snuggling time.  I sure do love your sweet baby girl (o;

Here are some of my favs from our visit... (o;
Our visit to the Hash House in San Diego after we got there...the biggest pancake EVER (literally...not sure how they flipped the thing)!

Just in case you wondered, these little men did GREAT on the plane!  Due to plane changes, they got to experience a total of four take offs and touch downs-definitely the highlight of the entire experience.  And if you've never flown Virgin Airlines, they're awesome-gave the kids free headphones and were SO friendly!!!

Just because they're crazy...Glad to finally have met you Sam!
Couldn't get enough of this baby girl...

Cousin time!  SO wish we got to see Khyleigh and Kaycee more.

What's not to love about this sweet Khyleigh face!

Lovin' on Uncle Mar.  My pasty whites with our chocolate bro (o;  Love it!  

Some time on the beach!  It wasn't quite as warm as we'd hoped, but the boys loved it none the less.
All the Mamas in our family...Trying to get everyone to look and smile at the same time=impossible.


 There's only another million pictures that I could just keep posting and posting and posting...We had such a great time.  Definitely worth the look on the boys face when they saw their Daddy's face for the first time in two weeks after we arrived back home.  Precious.  I was pretty happy to see him too (o;

Oct. 6th, 2008 We're having a... 20 weeks 5 days

...BOY!!!!! We were very pleased to see a very healthy little baby on the monitor. He clearly let us see that he was a boy despite the fact that he's facing breech right now. All systems intact, his hands have fingers and his feet have toes, and his little heart was beating about 136bpm. He weighs in at approx 14 ounces so he's already almost hit a 1 pound (they said he measured a little bigger than what was expected for my due date). He was moving around quite a bit and kept putting his hands in front of his face while we were trying to get pictures. Curtis said "This little guy doesn't know he's got the wrong family; we're all mellow." We are so thankful that everything measures out fine and that things are progressing well. We get to go in for our 3-D ultrasound Nov. 21st. Happy Birthday Mel (her birthday is today!), you're gonna be Auntie to a nephew!

Sept. 17th, 2011 30 weeks (and 2 days) with #2!

Really? 30 weeks already?! WHERE DID THE TIME GO???!!! He'll be here before we know it! Well, we just keep pluggin' along. Every day his kicks get a little stronger and the belly gets a little bigger-two blessings (you have to count them as that right?!) that remind me he's alive, well and growing. A couple of friends have had their baby's in July and Sept. and it's definitely become more of a reality that I'm next now that they have their little ones (o: We are SO excited and just so very thankful that everything is going so well. It's simply amazing to me how a woman can continue on with life so normally as their body is used as a station of creation by God to form a new human being..."amazing" doesn't even capture it...We serve an incredible God! Here's me and my goofy William, posing with little brother. I got him to take pictures with me by convincing him he could roll his tongue like mom was doing...Guess my boys have a prett...

Jan. 12th, 2012 Potty Training

Image
We've been working with William on potty training. We started seriously thinking about it this past Summer, when he could run around naked outside and watch himself pee (in the grass and not all over the house!). He caught on pretty quickly (to the peeing part that is) and had fun picking different objects to pee on (trees, rocks, leaves...fortunately not the dogs). Then, I decided we weren't gonna push the issue until after brother was born. I'd heard all kinds of people tell me that he would likely just regress, so I figured we'd at least introduce the whole concept and pick back up after Calvin was born. Sportin' the birthday suit while we practiced outside...I'm sure the pool had plenty of pee in it too. We told William that babies like Calvin wore diapers and that he wasn't a baby anymore. I guess this is where big boys wear their diapers...And for some reason I can't find this picture of this one for the life of me (one of William wearing a d...
