Doctor, My Niece, Knox vs. Owen, Moving Day, Chad's Packing Skills & Climbing Trees

Us waiting FOREVER at the Doctor's office ARGH!

My New Niece Kayleen!!! This was in December:

And this was in February:

Remember This:

That was Owen

This is Knox

My, how they grow!

We moved to Columbus at the beginning of April. It was not fun!

I opened a box to find this:

I thought it was cute how Chad packed his ties.

Meanwhile, the kids love their new home. In fact they climbed their first tree! We live on 2 acres so the kids just run and play all day (when it's not too hot). I love it as much as they do!

Up Next..My house!

Pool, Rock Wall, Strawberries, My babies, & Blessing Day

So Chad loves his job! Which is great! I know I've mentioned this before but he's the Aquatics director at CSU, at their brand new fitness center. The pool he is in charge of is amazing!!

This is the hot tub..it is huge!

It also has a lazy river...WHAT?! WHAT?!

A diving board, volleyball, basketball, lap pool etc...

He's also in charge of the rock wall...

This is me climbing it 6 weeks after Knox was born..I wanted to give up but Chad wouldn't let me down until I finished..I was so proud when I got to the top!

Hallie is allergic to Strawberries...she broke out into hives for about a week. We assumed it was strawberries, the Dr. told us to try and give her another strawberry a month after this breakout we did and she broke out again. Poor thing, she LOVES strawberries!

Look at my cute babies! This was at the end of January.

Knox's Blessing Day February 6, 2011

Where I've been

Gosh, I thought once I moved here, everything would get back to normal and I would be blogging on a regular basis again. Boy, was I wrong.

Knox cries most of the day. Unless I'm holding him and I certainly do not want to type one handed, that would take forever. And when he's napping. I need to clean, or watch my favorite shows on Hulu, or sleep, or clean. Because when he's awake...I can't.

What should I do? Just let him cry all day? It rips at my heart and tugs on my nerves. I can't handle it.

Hallie helps alot..but hearing her taking care of him trying to get him to stop crying- makes me feel sooo guilty. He's not her responsibility..but then I heard that in the "olden days" moms would have their 5 year old daughters take care of the babies all day while they got the house work done. 5 year olds? That's how old Hallie is?!!? I can't imagine her watching him all day like that. So I let her play with him while I cook dinner or run to the bathroom. Should I feel guilty about that? Or is it good for her?

blegh.

Life is good though. God is wonderful. We are so blessed and I'm still in love with that little boy..
