Grandpa J came and spent a lot of time with the boys. Sadly, I need to wait to get photos though. Tony and J took the boys to the Evergreen Flight Museum. Jase and I stayed behind to write a talk and attend some special baptisms. Then we got to visit with the Bulsons which was fun. Sunday was a bit busy. Tony and J drove to Oregon for the day to visit family and they even saw Uncle Eric which was no small miracle. The kids and I had a fun, busy church day and then this girl had a much needed nap.
This week I've had lots of property management responsibilities and other things and I feel like I'm trying to keep my head above water. Busy, busy. We said good-bye to Grandpa J yesterday. The boys had fun spending time with him and wanted him to stay longer. Max won a coloring contest and received two tickets to the spring fair. Here are a few snapshots that are on my camera that needed to come off. And I've got to take a break from work, right?
This is one of my favorite sweaters that all three boys have been able to wear. I got this sweater from my friend, Jenn. It's a keeper. Now to decide which boy gets it in his keepsake box. I have to save just a few special things and then I want to pass on the blessings that were shared with us.
The day after we found out we were having a girl, I was grocery shopping at Fred Meyer and I wandered over to the baby clothes section. I am a sucker for girl clothes with little lady bugs or little strawberries. So, I had to pick up this outfit. I'm not into tons of pink but who doesn't love lady bugs and or the teeny strawberries? No, I won't be buying her clothes all the time, but I couldn't resist just one little layette. And it says, "Daddy's Little Lady" on the jammies. Swoon!
Parenting can be frustrating. When a sensible, smart 5 1/2 year old thinks it's funny to spit on his mom when he's giving her a good night kiss, it's really frustrating. He knows how disgusting that is and why he felt the need to test that limit, I don't know. Did he really think I'd think it was funny? Oy. But when he came to apologize to me the next morning, he was crying and I started crying and he wrote this sweet note.
When I was putting some blankets away, I found my baby blanket. I was excited to pull it and put it in the bassinette.
On Monday we learned of the bombings at the Boston Marathon. I just hurt for those people who had to experience that, suffer from it and lose loved ones. It really helps to know that we have a Savior who helps us and comforts us even in the darkest of times.
