Happy 1st Birthday Eddie

Baby is 3 weeks old today!

The baby weighed in last Friday at a healthy 7 pounds 7 ounces!

Here is a picture taken yesterday.

New pictures

Eddie's such a big helper- he loves the vacuum cleaner!!

Thank you Melissa for the boppy! And Uncle Danny and Aunt Danielle for the T-shirts!!

Not the most flattering picture of my 4 boys, but it's not exactly easy getting all of them to sit still long enough for a picture- I wasn't going to push my luck!

Austin- what a sweet guy.

I finally caught this strange behavior on camera!

Perfect weather

If you've ever wondered what the weather is like in heaven, I think we are catching a glimpse of it today. It's perfect outside- almost 70 degrees, and not a cloud in the sky!

Eddie took his first ride down a real slide today! Of course he loved it. No pictures, I had my hands on him. I did take some pictures of him just being cute...

Eddie's silliness

This video is a few weeks old already, but I've been promising I'd post it. Eddie does this really silly face when you sniffle at him. He does it back, but he moves his mouth and looks like a big bull dog.

Welcome Max!

Here are some pictures of Thing 4- who finally has a name! Archer Maximo Logan. It's a little different, yeah, I know. It will grow on you.
We are all home, and doing well. Max is a little orange carrot, so we've got what looks like a baby tanning bed in the living room. He doesn't like being in it very much, since he has to be naked in it. He LOVES to be swaddled and cuddled. Hopefully at tomorrow's doctor appointment his bilirubin levels will be low enough to where we can ditch the bilibed.
Cathy's here, and she has been a tremendous help! It seems like there is always something that needs done, someone needs a diaper change, feeding, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and today is homework catch up day for the older two, who (thank god) go back to school tomorrow!
Anyway, enjoy the pictures!

More Indy Pics

Scott's new do, and Eddie the gardener

Pictures from Indy

We're having a great time in Indy! The weather has been warmner and sunnier here than in South Carolina! This is such a pretty time of year out here in the woods and cornfields with the leaves starting to change, and all the fall festivities. Yesterday we went to the pumpkin patch/apple orchard, and played some "Cornhole". Cornhole is similar to horseshoes except we use wooden boxes (cornhole platforms) and corn bags instead of horseshoes and metal stakes. Austin is already making plans for his dad to build some cornhole platforms at home!

Here are some pics.

Time flies

Wow I can't believe how quickly time is going by! It's been 2 weeks since our last post. And what a wild and crazy 2 weeks it has been! I won't go in to details on the post, but we've been dealing with quite a bit back to back lately.

Scott's science class raised some caterpillars and watched them turn in to butterflies this week! His teacher took a picture of him releasing his Painted Lady in the newly built butterfly garden outside the school.

Today we are leaving for a quick trip to Indiana to see Ms. Cheez Ball! And Uncle Danny and Danielle, and the rest of the Indiana clan. It's just me, Austin, Scott, and Eddie going... so we'll see how a 7 month pregnant lady can handle 3 kids alone on a plane for 5 hours this afternoon! WIsh me luck! I'll be sure to take pictures.

Clean bill

Weighing in at 20 pounds, Eddie got a clean bill of health this morning at his 9 month check up! Go Eddie!

Cheeks

The chubbier Eddie gets, the more he is looking like Scott. What do you think?

Call me crazy...

Scott's been asking for a pet hamster for a while now. We finally caved and got him 2 little Chinese Dwarf Hamsters from Petsmart today- complete with fancy cage. They are actually kind of cute.

Lobster heads

What a week it's been! Doug made it home Friday night, and came with gifts! Here's a picture of Eddie admiring Scott's new hat.

It's a bird... it's a... no, it's really a bird!

Well, Doug left for Boston for the week this morning, and it got started off with a bang- or should I say flutter... isn't a bird in the house a bad omen?
Here's a picture of the stupid bird perched up on the ceiling fan, and then trying to get out the kitchen window- his eventual route of escape. I'm guessing Ebony brought him in, judging by the blood on the floor and wall by the cat door. Fun stuff!

Best friends

Do you think he likes it?

Off to a better start

This week is definitely off to a better start! We got our new fridge installed yesterday from Lowe's- it's fancy, with french doors and all! Much to my surprise, the front of it is NOT magnetic! How can that be? How can you have a fridge with no magnets on the front? That's just nuts.
Anyway, here are a couple of pictures from yesterday.

Overdue

Ok, here are the ultrasound pics for Thing 4. I know they are long overdue being posted, and most of you have seen them already, but the kids asked why I didn't post them yet, so here they are. We still don't know if it's a boy or girl... the ultrasound tech assured us that the "leg shot" seen below means nothing as far as gender goes, so no assuming it's a girl.
