Family Update... As the Baby Grows

Time passes so quickly...

We took this photo on the

Feast of the Holy Family...

Lumpy was only 5 weeks old...

Now he is 8 weeks old!

We are settling in somewhat...

even though he has another cold,

we are getting a little more sleep : )

This little man is so very sweet...

his little smiles and coos melt everyone's hearts.

Scooter bought herself a camera last year,

and Tilly and Snorkie got digital cameras

from Santa Claus this year...

Needless to say, Lumpy is a

VERY well Photographed little boy.

Well LOVED, Too!

I Love Being Home With My Kids!

There are so many wonderful things about being home

with my kids all of the time.

When I had my last infant, the girls were only in

First grade and Pre-school...

Now they are in Third and Fifth Grade...

They can also read independently (pretty well)...

and they help with a good deal of the house work...

(They get a reasonable allowance).

They are great kids

and I love being around them...

It is only hard when I want to do

something to surprise them...

THAT can be difficult!

This is with whom

I prefer to spend my time!

Snuggly little boy...

in the cutest "swaddling" blanket ever!

I even manage to regularly get a shower

and keep up with the laundry...

Thanks to big sister "Scooter"

A GREAT advertisement for homeschooling!

(Scooter is reading Anne of Green Gables...)


My very alert two week old!

Sponge Bathing can be COLD

Boppy Pillows are SO Wonderful!

One VERY Proud Big Brother...

and his Little Brother.

I have about a dozen posts to put up in the next couple

of days...Hang in there with me...

There are BOUND to be lots more PHOTOS!
