Sushi Night!

Tonight Dan made us sushi for dinner and it was wonderful! When we got married, Dan didn't eat sushi and now he makes it for the family. Aren't we lucky?

Black Friday Baby!

While the older boys got to have a sleepover at grandma and grandpa's house, Oliver headed out early with Dan and I to the Black Friday sales. All decked out for Christmas, he was a very happy baby hanging out in the sling and I am amazed at how well he did. He had lots of admirers in which he was more than happy to give smiles back to them.

Thanksgiving 2008

We had our big Thanksgiving on Sunday with all of Dan's family. Of course we ate lots of turkey, stuffing, potatoes & gravy with all the rest of the fixings.

Today Dan worked and the boys and I just spent the day in our pj's hanging out. I don't think I have spent a day in pj's since I had Oliver in July!

We have so much to be thankful this year and feel so blessed in so many ways. I will only touch on a couple here. We feel so blessed to have our little Oliver! He is such a happy little guy and is growing so fast. It is amazing to have had 3 healthy pregnancies, deliveries, and boys. Something that no one can take for granted. We have so much fun to look forward to in the years to come!

The other big thing we are thankful this year is that Dan is going to start a new job next week. He is going back to DeLavalle next week as their service manager. This is an amazing opportunity as he will be working Monday through Friday, 8-5. No more 12 hour shifts and no more night shift! We are so excited to have somewhat normal life! We will get to spend so much more time together as a family.

Four Months Old Already!

Oliver was 4 months old on Sunday when these pictures were taken. He went in for his check up and shots today. He is weighing in at 13.3 lbs and is 25 inches long and is doing great. He loves his hands and is really scooting around on the floor. He can roll over about half way, but doesn't get all they way over yet. He still loves being swaddled at night. The Dr was amazed to hear that he is sleeping so well at night (bed about 8:15 and then I feed him before I go to bed at 11pm and he sleeps until 7-8am).

A Beautiful Fall Day!

On Sunday Dan took Caleb and Elton to Madagascar 2. When they got back it was so nice out that while Dan cleaned up the remaining leaves the boys realized how perfect our tree in front of our house is for climbing (aside from the rocks underneath). Then they headed to the back yard and Dan helped Caleb learn how to throw and catch the new football he got for his birthday.

Interesting!

I know I posted on here a long time ago about how Elton likes to call Caleb "Eeoo" and that even though we know he knows how to and can say Caleb, he has continued to call him Eeoo. However, yesterday out of the blue he started calling him Caleb and there is no more Eeoo. Caleb even mentioned it this morning that Elton had learned his name and was now calling him Caleb. It is so strange so hear him doing this and I have to say that I miss Eeoo just a little bit!

Mortimer Snerd

For Caleb's birthday a couple of weeks ago, he received a dummy named "Mortimer Snerd" from Nana and Papa Jack. The boys took an interest in dummies last year when watching Goosebumps. Caleb took him to school the other day for show and tell. Elton thinks he is pretty cool too and when Caleb isn't playing with him, he takes care of him. In fact, he is taking his nap with Mortimer right now.

Boys

Last night when I was giving Oliver his bath he started to pass some gas. Elton said to me "Oliver's tooting"? I replied by saying "Yes, that is Oliver tooting", in which Elton's response was "Awesome! That's so cool!". I guess Oliver has made the cut and will fit right in.
