A Little Red, White & Blue!

Happy Memorial Day!

We wore our red, white & blue in honor of our country and those who fought for our freedom!

(And maybe for the parade too!)

 

 

Bubba's first Memorial Day and first parade!

 

And because sometimes a crying baby is just super-cute!

 

Waiting with our friends for the parade to start!

 

Bubba was super-excited...can you tell?

 

Watching the parade...it's serious business!

A Day at the Park

After a very wet and cold day yesterday,

we needed to spend sometime outside

and away from our house...so we headed to a local playground!  

 

 

Even Memaw had to give it a try!

 

 

Right before a huge gust of wind almost blew her right off!

 

 

Someone didn't enjoy his first playground trip!

 

 

But someone else was having fun acting like a kid again!

Luke Reah - One Month

On May 10th, Bubba (aka Luke) turned one month!  He was not a fan of the photo shoot but Mommy persevered!

At one month, Bubba:

• Weighs 7lbs 10oz...just a bit above his birth weight
• Is exclusively breast feeding every 2-3 hours
• Wiggles to his side to sleep
• Wears Pampers Swaddlers Newborn (too tiny for our cloth diapers yet!)
• Wear newborn size clothes (Mommy actually had to go buy little ones to fit him!)
• Loves his Nuk that big sister, Sassy, picked out for him!
• Caught his first cold from Daddy and big brother
• Does not like to lay flat!
• Is not a fan of his carseat

Remember Us?

It's been a while!  And lots has happened!

This little guy joined our family!

Luke Reah was born April 10, 2013 at 1:14 pm.

He has competed our family, fitting right into the craziness!

And of course 6 weeks have flown by!  We've battled severe jaundice and low weight gain, with Luke making sure he wasn't getting lost in the shuffle.  Here's our littlest one today:

We love him just a little bit!

I'm planning to catch up the past 6 months...maybe a month by month post kind of thing.  And I plan to be better about documenting our life of 6 as we move on from here :).  Stay tuned!

Apple Picking / Pumpkin Patching / Beachin' It!

We are lucky to live in a place where we can get the best of two seasons...all in the same afternoon!

Our favorite apple orchard also has a pumpkin patch and is less than a mile from our most favorite beach on the entire planet!!!

Enjoy the recap of our afternoon!

We ARE Still Here!

We've just had a little something going on!

 

 

Our family of five will be growing in April!

And Mommy's been feeling a little under the weather :(

(It hasn't helped that Bruiser has decided to have some severe (as in admitted to the PICU!) asthma and September is the WORST MONTH EVER for a kindergarten teacher!)
