Rhett's 1 Month Old!

Rhett's the big 1 month old. Not much has changed from when he was born. He still wants to eat every 2-3 hours. He's still not sleeping through the night, and I'm still a little neurotic because of it! He is, however, the biggest child I've ever had and he's about to grow out of 0-3 clothes. He's a boy I guess. Here's the latest pictures of him...







Last week we went for a small hike, the girls love to hike, as well as Jim. We had lots of fun!

Emmy's quote of the week this week is:
Emmy: "Mommy, can we go play outside, because Spring has finally Sprung!"

This is Lydia so proud of her flip flops that are way too big for her. She's been very thankful lately, especially for one particular thing...
Jim (praying): Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for our food
Lydia: And Monkey Joes! (the place we took her for her birthday)
Jim: And thank you for our family.
Lydia: And Monkey Joes!
Jim: Thank you for ........
Lydia And Monkey Joes!
Jim: And thank you for Monkey Joes
This happens every prayer now!

"Mommy, I'm Not A Guppy!"

This week we went to the park during the beautiful weather we had. The girls are so stir crazy from all the cold weather and it was so good to get out. Of course, now it's cold and rainy, and we're back to cabin fever. The girls however, have been entertaining us with their personalities and Jim always tells me that I need to put their little quotes on my blog, so this is Lydia's quote of the day:

"Mommy, I'm not a guppy!" Little Mermaid?

Recently we went to a store in the mall, and since Emmy has never met a stranger, she told the sales associate the usual name and age stuff "Hi my name is Emmy, I'm four, and this is my little sister Lydia, she's 2" Then she went onto say this: "My dad is the Master of the Smyrna ARP church!" Hmmm...Master, Pastor.....

At another park, the girls were introducing themselves to other kids.
Emmy: "Hi, my name is Emmy and I'm 4."
Lydia: "Hi, my name is Me and I'm 2."

The day after we went to the park, Emmy woke up the next morning, of course it was cold and wet, and told Jim: "Daddy, I just checked the weather for today and it is going to be a perfect day for going to the park, a mixture of hot air and cold air." Wishful thinking on her part!

Well, can't say I have a quote for Rhett, unless you include crying. We've had a great second week with him. This week he:

Relaxed in the rocking chair.

Relaxed on a pillow.

Relaxed while he looked in the mirror.

Relaxed after a hard day!

There's One, And There's More Than One.

Have you ever heard that saying before? It's about kids of course, and I have to say, I agree. The transition from Emmy, to Emmy and Lydia, was really heard learning how to juggle more than one. But I guess once you get used to the chaos, there's no problem with throwing one more into the mix. The first week has gone really well with Rhett, he's been a great baby. And of course, we can't imagine our lives without him now.

Here he is with Emmy relaxing on the couch. Notice his pretty hue, he's still jaundiced.

Speaking of Emmy, here is a picture she drew of me.

She then went on to draw a picture of our family. You may notice the circles in the middle of the two biggest people, that would be a picture of my big stomach. She then went onto draw a circle in for Jim's stomach too, he didn't take that too well.



Relaxing on Dad


Relaxing in the swing.


Relaxing in the bassinet. He does a lot of relaxing.

Well, I had a whole load of pictures to put on here, but those will have to wait since my country internet doesn't want to post anymore pictures! Ugggggg

"Baby Rhett Popped Out!"

At least that what Emmy and Lydia are telling everyone. Everette James was born on February 26th at 6:31 pm. He weighed 8lbs 1oz and is 20 inches long. Here's a few pictures to tide you over for now.

Happy Belated Birthday to Lydia!

On January 16th, Lydia turned two! Sadly, over a month later and I still haven't posted it. We had so much fun as we went to Monkey Joes to spend the day with family and friends.
