Update

It has been a while since I have really updated. I have tried to keep up with my pictures though. Hmmm where to start.

Caleb is getting so big! He had his 4 month check-up a few weeks ago and he is 17 lbs 8 oz (90%) and is 25.5 '' long (75%). He is such a happy baby and smiles all of the time. He loves it when Ethan plays with him.

Ethan has his last week of preschool next week and will be going to Norris Elementary in the fall for Kindergarten. He will be going to summer camp two days a week during the summer which should be fun for him. He is such a smart boy!

Julia is so precious and is doing great with the potty! She is almost completely poopy trained, in the last two weeks I have only had to change 2 poopy diapers, she has gone on the potty every other time. She will pee on the potty once in a while but she is still in diapers for now. I would rather change pee pee diapers than poopy ones anyway! We were at the beach today and she said poo poo mama, and Sean took her to the bathroom and she went potty. I was so proud of her. Go Julia!

Ok, so lets get to some pictures, all of these "pictures" are links to web albums with more pictures, so be sure to click on the picture and read the comments I made:

Here are the pictures from when Macy was born. Julia is so excited to have a little girl that she will be able to play with!

These are some pictures from when Scott and Stephanie came up to visit. It was so fun to have all the kids together. Ethan and Sam are about 1 year apart, Julia and Issac are both 2, and Lily and Caleb are only 10 days apart. It is nice that our kids will be able to grow up together so close in age. I just wish they lived closer so we could get together more often.

I had my 22nd Birthday on May 29th and we had dinner with our family at South City Limits. It was nice. I can't believe I am only 22! I feel a lot older than that!

These are some picture that I took of our trip to our beach access. We went there on Tuesday to go frog hunting, and luckily we caught a toad. I didn't think we were going to see anything, and then there was a toad by a tree. Ethan caught it with his bare hands! We went there again on Wed to go swimming and the water was actually really nice (Lake Leelanau). It was so hot this week, we have a thermometer on our house and it got as hot as 95 degrees out! The kids had so much fun, so we went again tonight!
cute story: After we went swimming we let the kids play on the swingset they have there, and decided to leave once the bugs got bad. Well Sean got bit and he was being irritable. Ethan must have heard us say that, because while I was trying to do Julia's hair before bed, they were fighting over a book and I said "stop it you guys, you are making me upset" and Ethan says "Mom don't get irritable, because dad is already irritable and I don't want to have mean parents!" We all just started laughing, it was so funny! Ethan is really smart to know what irritable means and to put all of that together!

These are pictures that I took on Wednesday of Caleb's first cereal feeding. He is 4 1/2 months old and the doctor said that we could start any time now or wait until he is 6 months. We figured we would give the cereal a try and see if it will help him sleep any longer at night. Didn't really see a difference yet, still doing about a 7 hour stretch. However, I only feed him the one night, we have been so busy, so I will keep trying and see what happens.

Here are the rest of my pictures from May. There are pictures from when Taryn and Don visited, from Mother's Day, and other cute pictures of the kids.

Ok, that is it for pictures. Hmm what else. I am loving being at home with the kids, I just wish financially it was easier. Sean is trying to find a differnt job and we have one that looks promising, so please keep him in your prayers. That is all I have for now. I hope everyone has a great summer!

P.S. I have a bunch of short video clips of the kids that I will be posting soon. They are really cute!
