just your typical monday... or is it?

Everyone has a case of the Mondays every now and then. Some people have them every Monday. And others deal with a 6 year old that has an abscessed tooth and a husband who needs to be taken to the ER because he has appendicitis type of Monday.

Luckily, said 6 year old got to spend his entire Monday with his wonderful Tutu & brother while his father hung out with his wife and little baby girl all day at the hospital. 9:30 am to 11:30 pm is what my day looked like. Gwen was a perfect angel for that 14 hour day trip to the hospital. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.

The appendectomy went off without a hitch, the boys enjoyed their time with Tutu, Gwen was a happy camper and now I will try to get some sleep. Which may or may not actually happen. It's hard to sleep without your eternal companion by your side.

I will say, we have been blessed. It's amazing how things work out. This has been a blessing in disguise and I'm so, so grateful that our dear Heavenly Father has been watching out for us. I am so grateful for his love and care. Blessings come in mysterious ways sometimes but The Lord knows what he is doing and we just need faith. All is well. All is well.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. We love you.

Gwen was so content and quite happy to be held all day and adored by anyone who saw her at the hospital. She smiled at everyone and brightened a few people's day. She is such a sweetie.

We did have a beautiful view...

Gwenevere is 4 Months

Gwenevere turned 4 months yesterday. Has it really been four months since we brought this sweet little girl home?! She's growing up way too fast but is still a petite little thing. Her favorite things right now are eating, sleeping through the night, munching on her monkey and tag blanket, grabbing things, touching her brother's faces, looking at any type of design/picture/toy/tv screen, singing, laughing and getting mad at her toys. She's not really enjoying the tummy time very much but we still do it a few times a day anyway. She's very strong and does sit ups all the time, :).
She's been sleeping through the night since she was a month and a half. It's really been wonderful. She'll go down around 8 or 9 pm and she'll sleep until 6 am. She's sleeping in her own bed too, she's just a good, good baby! She's always so happy and in a good mood. She loves it when her Dad comes home and tickles her. She also loves to get her head rubbed, pretty funny right? She doesn't mind Travis and his over baring hugs and kisses that sometimes smushes her.

Gwen has been such a wonderful addition to our family and I can't picture our lives without her. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for my beautiful children. They truly are blessings.

Enoch had a big week

The week before Easter was pretty big for Enoch. He lost 3 teeth! He pulled two of them himself and the other, his Uncle Todd popped out for him by surprise. No tears at all! He's growing up and he looks so gosh darn cute with all of his missing teeth. The tooth fairy frequented our house quite a bit that week. Way to go Enoch!
Now Travis is asking if any of his teeth are loose.

My gap toothed little boy. They grow up so fast. I cannot wait to see how he'll look with adult teeth!
Now he's lost a grand total of 5 teeth.

Travis sleeps a lot. I envy him.

Travis had his 4 year wellness check and I think we found out why he sleeps so much, ALL THE TIME. The average kid grows 1 to 2 inches in a year. Travis grew 3 and 1/2. Slow down kid!!

February from my iPhone

Valentine’s Day came and went.

Gwen had her 2 month wellness check and did awesome. She cried less than the boys did when she got her shots. She’s in the 50%tile for height and weight, she’s doing great!

 

Travis and Adriana at their Valentine’s Day Sundae party. They had a good time.

We got a rug for our front room. Things are started to feel homey!

Found these socks while shopping at DSW, reminds me of my SEESTER.  

Bought these at said DSW trip.

We hit up Red Robin after the DSW trip. It was our first official outing together since Gwen had been born. It was nice. She did so great.

Joe looks grumpy in this photo but I think he was adjusting Gwen. He had been watching the birthday special for Michael Jordan who just turned 50 I guess.

Pretty girl. She loves to sleep, just like her mama.

Funny faces for Auntie Alana!

So more snoozing

I love how much newborns sleep

She did NOT want an outfit photo this day.

Sweetie pie

More naps

Always smiling when she wakes up

The boys loving on her. Just ignore the cereal all over the floor.

Enoch loves it when I put Gwen in the bed with him to wake him up.

Her sideways glance

Travis slept on his hair funny and it looked all cute so I had to take a pic. He loved it!
