Naples

April 14, 2015

Two weeks ago, the kids and I hopped on a plane and headed to Naples for Spring Break! We were all pretty excited…

and I’m posting this picture too because they’re both so cute I can’t decide. 🙂

Luckily Robert was able to get a gate pass again and wait with us until we boarded.

The boys did great on the flight…

and then everyone got a little snooze in on the drive to Naples from Tampa.

Once in Naples, we were glad to see everyone!

After a full week of fun, we had an uneventful flight home.

2 month Doctor update

April 13, 2015

Samantha had her 2 month checkup last week. The good mother that I am totally forgot about and missed her 6 week checkup. Oops! Oh well, she seems to be doing just fine! Her stats – 11 lbs, 8 oz and 23 inches long with a head circumference of 15.5 cm.

At Maxwell ‘s 2 month checkup he was very very close to Samantha at 11 lbs, 5 oz, 23.5 inches long with a big ole round head at 15.5 cm! I knew she was taking after her oldest brother!

Spencer’s 2 month checkup here. He was my little chubbo! 13 lbs, 8 oz! He was 23 inches tall with head circumference of 15.25 cm. He’s just his own person! 🙂

She does have a little herniated belly button. Apparently it’s pretty common in girls and should clear up on its own before she’s one. Not a big deal, just something to watch, but it does make her have quite the “outie” until it heals!

I had to take both boys with me but everyone did great. Samantha was happy for the whole checkup until she had to get 4 shots in her chubby little legs. Poor baby girl. But, she took it like a champ and then took a fantastic nap that afternoon.

Here’s some cute faces I got while waiting for Dr. Walley…

happy!

achoo!

yep, I’m awesome!

We love good doctor reports!

Still no love

April 10, 2015

One year ago I wrote this no-love letter…

Dear Pollen,

You’re such a lovely shade of green and I do love the color green.  However, you coat all of our outside toys and plants and really just make a mess of things.  You’ve been hanging around for about two weeks and I think it’s safe to say you’ve already worn out your welcome.  Spencer and his red, swollen, itchy eyes agree…

Needless to say, our feelings remain the same. That picture was from Wednesday when I picked him up from school. Ms. Alice had called me to say that as soon as they came in from the playground his eyes just turned bright red and he just kept itching them saying “my eyes!”. When I picked him up the first thing he said was, “Momma, eyes hurt!” 🙁

And this year it’s gotten to Maxwell too.

pollen

He’s not nearly as bad as Spencer but still…Poor, poor guys. Go away pollen!

Hope you all have a weekend free of itchy allergy eyes!

Easter in MGM

April 9, 2015

As I mentioned yesterday, we drove down to Montgomery for Easter lunch. I shared one family pic yesterday but I’m sharing this one too because I love them both!  🙂

mgm

We had a great time as always getting to see everyone and play with Lulu…

and, of course, Katie and Anna!

I tried so hard to get a picture of all the cousins and this shot right here is pretty representative of how that process went…

Spencer was definitely the entertainment of the day! Crawling under the table, eating 35 crackers, and doing this…

spencer

ha! That said, he was actually really well behaved the whole day and I was super proud of his little 2.5 year old self!

We headed over to Lulu and Granddaddy’s house after lunch and enjoyed the afternoon just visiting and letting Samantha get acquainted with everyone…

The boys got some more Easter goodies, including some Ninja Turtle bubbles that Jenny was nice enough to help Spencer with!

esater

hahaha! By the time he was done, I think he could blow bubbles with just the soap all over his mouth!

It was a wonderful Easter and we’re so glad we got to spend it with family!
