Attn Days Fans

How many times can Hope get kidnapped, really? This has become my down time as I eat my lunch and the kids nap. I know I could use the time a little more wisely. Maybe I will do that soon.

Sick Sissy


Ella cried off and on last night in her sleep and felt hot when I went in there. She then took an early nap. This tells us she 1. doesn't feel well and 2. probably has an ear infection. So, this afternoon I took her to the doctor and there is fluid on her ear but the pain and fever seem to be more related to a sinus infection and a red throat. Poor baby fell asleep on the couch when we got home. She is SICK...she only sleeps in her crib, in her sleep sac, with her baby and paci.

Sleeping Nate


I don't need no paci. I don't need no sleep sac nor a swaddler. Just put me on my tummy and leave me alone.

Awake Nate



Nate is having more awake time. About an hour (including his feeding time). Our routine the past day or so has been to eat and then "play" on his mat for about 15 minutes or until he starts yawning/fussing. Then it is off to the old pack-n-play for a 2 hour nap. This afternoon Streed got on the bed with him and was talking to him. I heard him say, "hey baby nate. peek-a-boo."

Another Hand-Me-Down




Yesterday Ella wore my old Easter dress. My mom took a smocking class and made me this dress when I was three. Nate was sleeping while I was taking these pictures. I basically scooped him up right before we left for church. I am sure it won't be long before he too is a part of their photo shoots.

Easter Bunnies



These were Ella's ears last Easter. She loves to share with Taylor.

Sweet Nathan


Here is the sweetest baby. He sleeps ALOT and rarely cries. The kids love him.

Time with Nana

Chip's mom came and helped us out for a week. She did lots of fun stuff with the older kids like coloring eggs, painting a bird house and playing in the yard. Here they are painting the bird house...and Ella's face.

Bubbles



Ella blowing bubbles. She looks cute in all she does.

Look Close and Look Quick


Nathan has started opening his eyes a LITTLE bit more. They are looking bright blue like Streed's.
