Time to Chat



Ok...I know I have been MIA for a while, but I promise to be better!!! I really am not sure where to start filling you in!!! Joel surprised me with a wonderful figurine for Mother's Day. HE said it looks just like me after I put Garrett to sleep!!!

Garrett turned 10 months old on May 20th and then Isabel turned 3 months old on the 25th. They are both doing great. Garrett is everywhere!!! Since he has learned to crawl, I am never sure exactly where I will find him. He seems to get himself into some pretty strange places. It is amazing how quickly he can travel on those little arms and chubby knees!!! Isabel has learned to smile. She also loves cooing at her daddy!!!

Garrett has also learned a new trick...if he climbs on one of his toys, he can then climb up on the coffee table. He has done this a couple times now. He is quickly instructed that we aren't wild animals and we don't sit on furniture like that. I am not sure that he believes me when I say we aren't wild animals, given the fact that he usually makes some noise at me that resembles a monkey!!!

I took the kids to the doctor today. Garrett now weighs 25 lbs 6 oz and is 30.5 inches long!!! Isabel is up to a huge 10 lbs 9.5 oz and is 22.25 inches long. It is really amazing to watch her grow. She was so tiny, so now she looks big!!! Even though she is getting bigger, her 0-3 mos clothes are still too big. I have resorted to dressing her in them anyway...I am so tired of the same clothes she has been wearing for 2 months!!!!

As for me, I am suffering a sinus infection right now. I am hopeful that the antibiotics I started today will kick in...NOW!!! My head is so foggy!!!

We are having the kids baptized this Sunday. It should be a great time!!! My sister-in-law and her kids will be here just in time for it. We will have quite a crowd Sunday morning!!! After church we are all going out to lunch together!!! I am sure it will be a zoo, but it will be a great time. I will post pics of the blessed event hopefully Sunday afternoon.

I promise to post more frequently, don't give up on me!!!
