These are a few of our favorite things...

Emilee loves spaghetti...



...and the tupperware cabinet...



...and eating chocolate cupcake from a friend's birthday party...



...and pointing to Wesley with a face that says, "I can't believe he's staying."

Deciding that maybe being a big sister isn't such a bad thing. She keeps likes to keep watch over her little brother.





The pink baby rose bush is in bloom and I love seeing it in the backyard.




Chocolate covered apples, with a peanut buttery caramel layer of goodness. Thanks Jen for the fabulous mother's day treat!



Em helping Dave pick (eat) peas from the garden.



Last but not least, one of our favorite things is sleep!

Em does it with a little more flair than Wes right now, look below for the propped up feet.

The Picture Says It All

This was right before she started to push him off her lap.

I think she's still adjusting to having a little brother.

Oh My! Having two children 15 months apart is quite the handful, but we are hanging in there. Here is how last week went.

6 - The number of days that Emilee threw up last week

5 - The number of days that David was out of town while Emilee was throwing up last week

12 - How many loads of laundry I did during the stomach plague last week

2 - The number of bath toys that Em threw into the toilet while I was rinsing out her crib sheet that she had just thrown up on, in the bath tub. Hence - all her bath toys were out of the tub and on the floor.

2 -The number of fishies that are now in the trash
1 - The number of tongs that I used to retrieve and throw away the above mentioned fish.
1 - The number of tongs that are now in the trash. It was totally worth going to Target and paying a couple of bucks for a new set of tongs.
5 - The number of days David's parents came over last week to help. THANK YOU!! Especially since we gave you the plague :(
Gazillion - The number of times Wes has "sprinkled." The kid is a mess - boys are soooo different! When I saw this shirt in the store I had to get it.


2 - The number of children that we now have. We are so blessed...that last week is over and a new one can begin.

*Notice the pointer finger approval that Wes has finally gotten!

So Tired!

Just wanted to start out this post by saying that I am crazy tired! A happy tired, but tired none the less. David's parents have been great about coming over during the day so I can take a nap, and that is the only reason I am still coherent with David being out of town so much this last week.

Here is what has been going on at our house.
Emilee has figured out that this little person is here to stay and has started paying some attention to him. Good that she realizes he is a keeper, bad that she realizes she can touch (hit) him and get some attention. At 15 months she just doesn't understand soft and gentle. This is one of the few moments she used restraint while touching Wesley.



Wes is going to fit into this family just fine - we already have him doing SOLID in his sleep!



Wesley likes to have his awake time at 2:00 AM. I do not like to be awake at 2:00 in the morning. I have already had several discussions with him about this, to no avail. Which then results in...

...eating this as my very early morning snack. Melissa dropped this off earlier this week, and yes, it tastes as good as it looks. If I have a little more junk in the trunk at the pool this summer you'll know why.


















Em was getting bored staying in the house, so David took her out for some grass time in the backyard with him. She is doing much better with grass and will walk on it now if she has shoes on.



















This came in the mail this week and David exclaimed,"We're rich." Those of you that feel the pain of formula feeding know that this is a small fortune in formula, and every little bit helps. These two canisters will last about a week and a half and their combined cost in the store is about $30. Yea for Enfamil samples!!

To round out this week, Em started throwing up on Friday morning, and now that it is Sunday, she has stopped hurling and it is now coming out the other end. Not pretty!

And lastly, many thanks for the meals and well wishes, they have been much appreciated with a traveling hubby and two little ones. I also have to say that I have the best VTs ever - THANKS!!
