Daddy time

Fun with water

Katie and Blake came over a couple days ago to play in the "pool". The boys had a blast, but I think Katie was worn out by the whole ordeal- being 9 months pregnant in the summer and running around after a rambunctious 18 month old and all!!! Anyway, I only got a couple pics and they aren't the greatest, but I thought I'd share anyway!

Filling up the buckets with pool water

Working hard- check out Ewan's back musculature- he is really working hard!! (yes, the PT in me notices these things!)

Uh, Blake. . . where are you headed? Oh! Going to water the stairs!!

LOVE this suit!!

So, Ewan fell into Grampy's pool the other day and I just about had a coronary. Thankfully, Aunt Jen was right there and gathered the little guy right up as he frantically floated on his back, thanks to his muscle man floaty suit. Thank you Aunt Jen and thank you floaty suit!!!!

Another prayer

So, I mentioned that we have had some craziness around our house and the reason for that is displayed in the first pic below. Sweet Liam had to see a cardiologist and have a holter monitor (a 24 hour EKG) placed last week as a possible arrythmia was picked up with the apnea/heart rate monitor. Needless to say, Denny and I were quite stressed about this, however Liam handled it all beautifully (as evidenced by his sweet smiling face!). The cardiologist was quite optimistic that all would be normal which was good news. We are still waiting for the results and are trying to rest in the knowledge that God is in control and will continue to carry us through.

Sweet, sweet Liam

Ewan lovin on his lil bro

Some pics and some cravings

Just a few pics from the past month of Liam and Ewan. Liam is now 9 weeks old and smiling ALL the time. I have yet to capture it really well, however, the first pic below is when he was just beginning to smile. We have found that limiting my diet to very bland foods has seemed to really help Liam's fussiness- currently I pretty much only eat chicken, rice, potatoes and bread. I do occasionally cheat but Liam is quite unhappy when I do and it is just not worth it to put him through such misery. Hopefully, this will only last for a short time, as I am desperately craving some hot wings with blue cheese, anything Tex-Mex (the spicier the better) and a HUGE bowl of chocolate ice cream with pretzels and hot fudge!!!!! But, at least this new "diet" is helping me in the baby weight department. . . !

Cutie- just beginning to smile
Getting very sleepy. . .

Tummy time for two

"I TWO!!!!!"

This post is also a little late as Ewan celebrated his 2nd birthday last week on the 6th! What an amazing 2 years it has been, chock full of ups and downs, as I continue to learn all about the journey that is motherhood. Ewan is walking, running, climbing stairs, jumping, talking up a storm and cracking up his mother and father on a daily basis. He has welcomed a new baby brother and is handling it quite well for a two year old! He loves to hug, kiss and hold Liam, as well as attempt to jump on him and hit him on the head (we are working on this!!). Ewan loves cars, trucks, trains, blocks, Mickey Mouse, Goofy, fishing, jumping, running, talking, dogs, cats, Madison (our neighbor's 2 1/2 year old), Blake, "daddy's friend (Brian)", playing with daddy, playing outside, chocolate (just like his mama!), puzzles, riding in daddy's truck and "fixing" things. His favorite phrase is "I get something" and "I love baby Liam". He has quite the imagination and loves to figure things out- he is quite the thinker.

Fourth of july. . .a little late

So, life has been crazy around here with two little ones to look after! Liam has had some other issues, which I plan to post about later, but, is doing great despite it!! Hence, the very delayed Fourth of July post! We spent Friday night (7/3) at mom mom and pop pop's home as they had a fire pit and a tent set up for the grandkids- it was a blast!!! Ewan played in the dirt with dump trucks for most of the night, we ate dinner outside by the fire and roasted marshmallows! Ewan got to run around the big yard and absolutely LOVED the tent! He would run in 1 door, through the tent and out the other side over and over and over!! He had sooo much fun with his cousins and continues to talk about the tent and "Ree-Ree" and "Farfie"! He was so thrilled to be up well past his bedtime and was VERY hyper- it was hilarious!! He would not stop talking during the 25 minute ride home and tried to steal Liam's binky!! But, he was asleep before his head hit the pillow that night and I am sure that he had sweet dreams!
