Missy

We have the most amazing neighbors on the planet.

We like to say that Bill and Linda are the kid's cool, young, hip and yes, white grandparents.

It's always an adventure when the kids are with them. And it just so happens that the kids learn something new with every adventure. I can't even begin to list all the things they have shared with the kids. Linda has sewed with the girls, cooked with them, had crafts for the holidays, beach night when Mommy was REALLY pregnant, baseball night with Michael V. and on and on...

Well, here is their newest adventure.

I'm not an animal person, shocker I know. Linda has fish, a cat, two dogs and now a HORSE! The kids are soooo excited. This week Ms. Linda and Mr. Bill (as the kids refer to them) took the girls to meet "Missy" for the first time. Michael V. had a baseball game, so he had to miss out, but the girls assured him that they would have all summer to make up for it.

Of course they had to have their cowgirl hats on.

Emma, not afraid of anything.

Another amazing learning adventure.

Thank You, Ms. Linda and Mr. Bill!!!

Shots Suck!

I've done this a multitude of times and it never seems to get easier.

Luke had his 2 month check-up on Wednesday and I cried. No, not because he's getting so big so fast, well maybe, but because my poor baby had to get FOUR shots. The nurse wanted to give him a fifth one, but I said NO! I think she wanted to put me over the edge. I always question my decision to vaccinate my kids. I mean I know I have to if I want them to attend school, but the anxiety that come with vaccinating your kids these days is so nerve wracking.

On a happier note. Luke is doing really well.

At 2 months, these are a few of his stats:

Luke Aidan - 2 months

13 lbs. - 24 inches tall

Still sleeps really well.

2 naps during the day.

Up to 6 hours straight at night!

Loves the car.
Loves attention from the big kids.
Loves sleeping right in the middle of mom's bed. (only during the day)

This sweet baby has been such a blessing to our family.
We love you, Lukie.
