Goodbye to Alan and Julia

Hannah and Ben grew up with their sweet Amish friends. They will be moving to Ohio at the end of May. We made a trip down to Pennsylvania so the kids could say good-bye. I have pictures of these kids when they were 4 years old. What sweet memories we have with them. The kids spent the last couple of days corrupting them with DS and movies, and my kids spent one last day with them doing chores. Wish we had more time.

Slumber party..Ear piercing...Trauma

Ben had a trampoline accident yesterday. I had to bring him to the dentist on call. All three of his teeth are loose. The middle one is the worst. This is after I got the bleeding to stop. Gross huh?

Hannah got her ears pierced yesterday morning after all her friends left from her slumber party. She did great. D and I originally had said 12 years old, but we caved.

For Hannah's 9th birthday, I told her she could have a sleep over. What was I thinking with a 3 week old? I went to be at midnight, and the girls were still up. I don't even know what time they went to bed. They stayed in the playroom all night, so no sneaking out. I can't complain too much.

We did some Tye-dye tee-shirts for a craft, so they could all wear them to school next Monday.

Derek went in for his procedure this morning and did great! Can you believe that I cried while he was gone. It is something about making things permanent. I think I really lost it when Ben said to me this morning before he got on the bus, "I think you should try to get me a brother." I said, "Ben, that means that we would have 5 children." He said, "It's fine mom, he can sleep in my room." What do you say to that? Derek says that I am crazy. He is probably right.

More pictures!

I feel like Derek threw me under the bus when he sent a mass email of a picture of our family after I had her. It was so unflattering that I could of killed him. I told him that I was going to take a picture of him when I pick him up after his vasectomy on Friday and send out a mass email of him at his worst. Yes....D is getting snipped this Friday!

Here's my beauty. My horrible birthing experience will be saved for another blog. Please do not read it if you are pregnant with your first or trying to get pregnant.

Naomi's bili count is a little high, so we have to have her stuck again on Monday. I think she looks pretty good with a tan myself. I wish I were a little jaundiced right now.

12 hours old.

First bath at home.
