Noni Visits

We got to spend the week end of Halloween with Noni. It was so great to have her and Tom down for a visit. They met Titus and got to hold him lots...

They played with Zeke and Eli.

Noni also helped carve the pumpkins.

Thanks for visiting- It was GREAT to have you here!

New & Old Halloween Traditions

New...

carving pumpkins. This was the first year we carved pumpkins and Ezekiel had a grand time. Eli could have cared less and Titus enjoyed the swing.

It was a fun night and I think both boys enjoyed seeing them lit up.

The Process

The Finished Products

Old...

Halloween Night with the Halls. For the third year in a row we joined the Halls. Before we headed out we snapped a couple of pictures with Noni!

Of course we stop by Grandpa and Grandma Case's first.

Trick or Treating

The best picture we could get of all of us

ONE month old TITUS

Today Titus is one month. Time has gone by so quickly! So far...

Titus weighs 11 lbs

Titus is 22 1/2 in. long.

He sleeps about 5 hours at night.

He has already had a cold.

Some of the place Titus has been are BSF, Moms Group, The Rainforest Cafe, Emma's soccer games, Church,

Titus is a GREAT baby. Though he struggles with gas that is the only time he fusses. He likes a pacifier when falling asleep at times and is a great sleeper. He has handled his brothers touching, kissing, and occasional roughness like a champ.

Remember When...

the house was clean? Ours hasn't been for about 3 years now. People often ask me how I do it...taking the boys out and going places, making things, etc.

So here is the answer in pictures

our house with three boys and one tired mommy.

Blessings and Curses

Ezekiel and Eli have come to a new stage in life of playing together. This time can be both a blessing and a curse. We are seeing that they truly LOVE each other. Ezekiel when he wakes up is always concerned about Eli and wants him to be near. On many occasions they will also greet each other with an embrace...too cute! Eli LOVES Ezekiel and will imitate anything he does. It is so sweet to watch them play together and enjoy each other.....

but there is the curses. Ezekiel also has a selfish side that wants Eli to play alongside him, but NOT touch his stuff. Ezekiel will also push his weight around- literally. He will collide into Eli, push him down, or just simply put himself between Eli and the toys. Eli also has learned the art of the cry/scream. Anytime he does not like the way things are playing out, he will simply let out a cry or scream....lovely.

So here we are in a love/hate relationship...I really do hope that one day there is only love, but due to our sin nature I believe the battle will continue!

Mud Bowl 2010

Nothing better than playing in the mud...at least for my boys!

Oh My BIG Baby...

At three weeks old Titus is wearing 3-6 month clothes.....

At four weeks he is 11 lbs!

Titus Gets Visitors and Smiles

Grandma Great and Aunt Helen stopped by for a short visit to see Titus and he was happy to meet them. Grandmas Great was able to get Titus to smile for the first time.

She is sweet and Titus agreed!

That is What He calls It...

Ezekiel has a fun way of saying a few things...

sprinklers = sprinkles

gatorader = gatorade

biscuit rolls = cinnamon rolls
