WINNIE THE POOH
This is Josh's last week of school before the winter break and he had the opportunity to go and see a Winne the Pooh Musical. It was a lot of. Only about an hour long and kept the interest of the kiddos. Jake even sat though the whole thing... although he was in my lap clinging on for dear life because the costumes scared him. Go figure.
I have also decided that I am going to get awesome arm muscles with having 3 children. Jake has such awesome listening skills (can you hear the sarcasm.... if not, listen a bit harder) that I have to not only carry Jeremy's infant carrier, but I also have to carry Jake. He darts all over the place in parking lots and sidewalks, etc. etc. I have tried everything, but he is just our special one that is going to take a little bit more effort to get him to adhere to life's rules. So bring on the awesome arm muscles!
JAKE'S FIRST HAIRCUT
was an experience I tell you what! He refused to sit on the chair by himself, so he had to sit in my lap, I had on one of those capes and halfway through Jake decided he didn't like his anymore and threw it on the floor. Abby, our stylist, was so stressed cause Jake wouldn't sit still.... we started out feeding him M&M's but Jake was plowing through them so fast that his hands got all sticky and the hair started collecting... gross... we were lucky enough that a train came past as Abby was starting to use the scissors, it was a long train too. So we got a few minutes wiggle free. After that, it was back to the candy..... Little to say Jake came home with a great haircut and a small appetite for dinner. I truly have ever seen someone cut hair so fast in my life. Next time I think I am going to bring the portable DVD Player and pop in a movie.
BIG BROTHERS
Big brothers Josh and Jake are completely obsessed with Jeremy, they love giving kisses and hugs and are constantly standing over him to cover him up or give him the pacifier. I never thought that Jake would be so lovey with Jeremy, I thought he would be in a fit of jealous rage for the better part of the first year, man can kids surprise you! ( Although secretly I think he is excited that he will now have someone to boss around as Josh does to him) The boys are all handsome and we are blessed to have the three to complete our family. I am sure I will be leading a life of muddy clothes and bloody noses.
JEREMY IS HERE!
So we had Jeremy on November 17 @ 2:15 am..... Mark and I joked on the way to the hospital that with 3 children there had to be at least one, "rush to the hospital experience" and Jeremy was it! My water broke about 11:15 pm and we were to the hospital by 12:30 am..... they were prepping me for surgery by 1 am.... Of course my OB was out of town and the on-call doctor had to deliver us, what a night. Never in a million years would I have expected to have one of the babies "unscheduled" All worked out for the best though and we are so excited to have him here.
