we're still alive!

Wyatt's blessing day.

So sweet.

What a cute little monkey!

wow. long time, no post, huh?. Crazy, crazy, crazy this thing we call life.

We are all still alive and doing well here in Dover, Ohio. After Wyatt was born, my wonderful sister was here to help take care of me and play with the kids. She left the day before Easter, and then my in-laws came. Oh, then the real fun began!! My mother-in-law slaved away for five days while I lazily directed traffic from the rocking chair with my wee little one in my arms. I tell ya, it's the only way to move, people! haha

On Saturday, April 10th, we(okay, not me personally but Nate and friends) packed up and Nate drove off with Camden and his Dad to begin unpacking in Dover. I had some great girlfriends come over to help clean and gab and then...and then it was time to say goodbye. So hard. I loved my house. It was full of memories of Camden and Aidan growing up and playing with their friends. I loved the rooms I painted and decorated. I loved, loved, loved the neighbors, the neighborhood, the schools, etc. the only time I teared up was when I was alone in my empty house, checking all the rooms one last time for anything we may have forgotten.

I still miss it.

BUT, on arriving in Dover, Nathan had been greeted by members of the ward to help move in, a wonderful family took Camden to their house to play for the afternoon, we were brought dinner for three days and had enough food to feed an army. Our new neighborhood is beautiful and quiet and we have an empty lot right behind our house which has become our own personal soccer field. Camden gets to ride the bus to and from school everyday, which he(and I) love. we enrolled the boys in soccer and swimming lessons, which has pretty much booked our weeks but they love it.

We are settling in. Wyatt is growing bigger and cuter everyday. At birth, he was 7 lbs. 10 oz. and 20 inches long. When he was 10 days old he was 7 lbs. 13 oz. and at his one month appt. he was 9 lbs. 13 oz. and 23 inches long. He's been a great baby. Still sleeps a lot, which is wonderful. He has had some bowel issues but we finally decided to start him on soy formula and that's been great. His eczema on his face went away overnight and his little pooper is working at full capacity. haha

We finally put up his crib last night. He's been alternating sleeping in his car seat, swing, and play pen.

I feel so blessed and happy. We tried for a year to get pregnant with Wyatt and he was definitely worth the wait.
