[sigh] It's happened.

It is a stage that I have been putting off.

It is one that I denied for months with all my boys...

but I must admit, this boy is especially hard.

This is my BABY!!!

He is officially out of his crib and into this bed -

that was Christian and Jakob's and was also used by their cousin, Ryan

I took apart his crib, then Chris and Jake helped me bring in the pieces of the car bed. We got it all set up and put the mattress in it... Isaac immediately laid down in it and sighed! He just laid there! It is quiet obvious that he is going to love this bed as much as they all did!

[sigh] My little boy...

Hurray.

Today was a beautiful day. 70's. Yay.

Normally, I would have the windows open, doing laundry, being outside, etc. Right?

Nope, not today.

I spent the vast majority of my day with 2 sick boys: Christian threw up (and other bodily functions that I won't name but you get the point), 101+ fever, not eating, very tired, severe headache. Isaac started off the week with a sinus infection and now has a 101+ fever and a headache, and doesn't want anything but me.

We left at 10am. Got home at 3:45 - 3 hours at the Dr's office. Going to Salem, being at the Dr's office, coming home from Salem.

That was my FABULOUS day.

Joy.

Wordless Wednesday

Wow. I can't believe it is possible.

Today is Jakob's 7th Birthday!
My second boy has grown up so fast

that he is taller than his older brother!

Wasn't it just yesterday that I came home with a 9lb 4oz baby boy?

And now he is a boy that

always has a twinkle in his eye,

is near-fluent in spanish,

loves school and his brothers

and is always ready to give loves...

Happy Birthday Jakob!

You ROCK!!!
