Ezra's 2nd tooth

Ezzy's bottom left tooth came in. Now maybe he'll stop trying to bite my nipple off! ;-)

New Stroller

We got a new stroller today! I'm super excited. I always said I did not want a side-by-side...turns out I did! The boys started kicking real hard, and the poor child in the front was getting all knocked around. This one is perfect for us. It's much lighter, both seats recline more, easy to push. Love it! It even came with a sunshade to pull down over them when it's super bright out. I must add, we got it on craigslist. Love that site!! I would never splurge for a Peg Perego stroller, but craigslist has some great deals!!

We took it on a walk tonight and it was super fun. Elliot has finally started riding her bike further. She wanted me to take a picture of her with her whistle. She keeps it in her basket along with other "treasures" she finds (Acorns, seeds, sticks, pinecones, etc.)

The last 3 nights I've been able to get ALL 3 KIDS ASLEEP by 7:20. It's been so wonderful. It means we are eating earlier than usual, but it's worth it. The boys are usually in bed by 5:30 or 6, then Elliot eats, gets a bath, and goes straight to bed. She's super tired so I'm going to try to keep this schedule.

Boobs....

Yup, you read my title right. It's about time I write about some boobs since they've been nothing but a problem lately. See, I love breastfeeding my babies. I'm not a really touchy, sensitive person, so this is my little way of bonding and being with them. I like it.

However, lately it's one thing after another. Clogged milk duct one week (doc. think it's a cysts...so I have an ultrasound), next week: another clogged duct. This week, mastitis. Now, the boys are biting. So, on top of mastitis I have an open puncture would from teeth. Nursing is MISERABLE right now!! They have me in tears almost every time they get on that side. Ezra just bit me and when I made him unlatch he BUSTED OUT LAUGHING! The laugh was adorable, but where does he get off thinking anything is funny at this time?!?!

Lord help us!

My Ring

Wes got me a 2 karat black diamond when he was in Afghanistan and we got it set while he was home. I stink at taking pic's cause it's way pretty in person. I think it's my present for anything that comes along the next few years :-) He did good:

FUN & New posts

Here's what happens when Elliot has a little free time before heading off to preschool:

LOTS of new posts below! All the way down to Wes' 30th Birthday party. AND finally some new pic's. ENJOY THEM ALL!

Sweet boys

Levi and Ezra getting a snack before bed time!

7 months old

WOW! The boys are 7 months old already. Their little personalities are really starting to shine through and I seriously need to get the camera out more often! Ezra is even sitting up by himself now. I love them tons and promise pic's soon!!

Levi's 3rd tooth!

WOAH, 3 teeth in a week-this boys goin' crazy. This one is in a WEIRD place! It's the 2nd tooth to the right on the top (yah, I should learn the proper name for teeth!) However, it's through the front of the gums, not the bottom. hmm....we might need to start an "Orthodontics Fund" now. :-)

Ezra's 1st Tooth!

Ezra's first tooth came through today. (bottom right) He's having a hard time napping and I think it's 'cause his little teeth are hurting him. But, he's quite pleasant when he's awake so I can't complain.

Frisbee Golf and yard

We went and played some disk golf while everyone was here. Kids and I also had some fun in the backyard:

Wes' 30th Birthday

While Wes was home we had a surprise party for him! It was so great. Shauna came down from MD, Sean from S.C, and his friend Mike from D.C. Thank you guys SOO MUCH for making this day so special! They all stayed with us a few days and it we had a great time hanging out, going to the beach, breaking surf boards, etc.

Here's a pic of the old man and his little cupcake :-)

Elliot's spelling

Elliot made a word out of magnets on the fridge, when I walked over I cracked up at what letters she had combined!!

MIRACLE!

My boys slept from 8-5. THAT IS NINE HOURS!!! What a great night!!

Levi's 2nd tooth

Levi got his bottom right tooth.

Levi's FIRST TOOTH!

Levi has his 1st tooth! (bottom left) This is mostly for my info. so I can one day update his baby book. :-) I've been checking Ezra's mouth b/c he has been chewing his finger off. Today, I was wiping drool off of Levi (nothing new) as he was chomping on his finger and decided to check. YUP, there it was. Not just part of a tooth, the WHOLE thing is through!! No Tylenol or Oraljel needed. What a super good boy!

Update...

For those of you who read this and are wondering, little Judsley is doing much better. I don't know all the details, but he is home or should be soon. THANKS for the prayers. OH, and his Mommy is also doing much better. She did not have to stay in the hospital. :-)

Baby Judsley

Hi All! Quick note here to ask you to pray for baby Judsley. He is my cousin Cory's 8 month old baby boy. His wife and son were in a car accident on I-95 a few days ago and the baby was airlifted to Arnold Palmer in Orlando. He has a concussion. He has been unable to keep anything down and has been extremely sleepy. Tonight he started having some seizures and dropping in his blood pressure. PLEASE pray for healing for this sweet little boy. I can not imagine what they are going through right now.

Also, his wife was admitted to the hospital today for bleeding in her spleen. I hope I got all this info. right since it's all 2nd hand....but regardless, they could use all the prayers they can get. We have a God of MIRACLES & HEALING!

Thanks!
