Jake's Birthday and End of School Year

Jake turned six on the 14th. We kept it simple and just had a small party at our house. Jake had a tee ball game that night so May-May and Paw-Paw came down for the game and we ate dinner at Zaxby's before the game and had cake and ice cream afterwards. Jake was pleased to get his own Nintendo DS and several more toy sea animals and sharks. Jake also had his last day of Kindergarten Thursday. He really learned alot this year. He is reading well into a second grade level and he loves to write books. He received the award in his class for "Best Creative Writer." His teacher calls him her little "author." He was sad to be out of school because he said he would miss doing all of his school work. Here are a few highlights from his birthday and last day of school.

Three months old

Megan is three months old today. She is getting to be such a big girl, literally. She has pretty much already outgrown her 6-9 month old clothes I had bought for her this summer and is already wearing 12-18 month old clothes. She is doing good though, and as you can see, eating well. I am looking forward to next month when she can start some baby foods and cereal. She is still waking up at night, usually just once. She is beginning to laugh and loves to be talked to and will "talk" back. She is growing up so fast. They just don't stay babies for very long.

Easter

We had a great Easter. We had an Easter egg hunt at church Saturday and then enjoyed a nice service at church Sunday and an afternoon visit from May-May and Paw-Paw. I got a few good pictures of Luke at the egg hunt, but not many good ones on Easter day. Since the ones I took didn't turn out very good, I am posting some of the the Easter pictures I had taken at Target.

This is the best picture I got. I finally just gave up.

Two Months Old

Megan turns two months old today. She is doing great and getting to be quite the chunk. She is really filling out. She smiles alot now and seems to be happier most times. I guess she may be finally getting use to us and her big brothers. Below is the picture I took of her in her rocking chair and one of her smiling. There is a glare on the one of her smiling so it is not the best picture, but I thought is was cute of her smile.

At her two month check-up she weighed 14 lbs. 7 oz. and was 23 inches long.

Tyler's 8th Birthday

Tyler turned 8 this past Monday. We celebrated Sunday at May-May and Paw-Paw's house.
We ate pizza and cake and ice cream and enjoyed visiting with family. Tyler got a NBA Wii game, a Nintendo DS, and a Chipper Jones Braves shirt. He also received money to buy games for his Nintendo. Tyler is growing up so fast. He is getting ready for baseball season and is very excited about playing again this year. He loves sports, playing and watching them on T.V. He is such a cool kid. Happy Birthday Tyler. We love you.

1 month old

I can't believe that Megan is already one month old today. It has flown by. She went to the doctor Friday and has gained two pounds and grown two inches. She is now 9 lbs. 1 oz. and is 21 inches long. She is staying awake more now and becoming more alert. She is such a sweet baby. She does like to fuss some during the day when she is awake, but is doing really good at night so I can't complain. I took her picture in the rocking chair in her room and want to take it in the same place on her monthly birthday to see how she changes each month.

Snow Day

We received about 4 inches of snow Friday. It was so pretty watching it fall and of course the boys couldn't wait to go play in it. They had fun having snowball fights with Daddy. We all enjoyed the snow but it has been such a cold winter that spring can not get here fast enough.
