I can say that for the first time today I feel as if I am getting back to normal. I have just been so tired. So hopefully soon I will get to post and tell about all the fun things that we did the past couple of weeks. And I was right before, I am now missing Jen and Heather and can't believe that I said it was nice to have everyone gone. But, Heather will be back for a couple of days this weekend and Jen will be in Cedar Key in July and then Heather and I are meeting up with Jen in South Carolina this September so luckily we have some fun things coming up.

Martha did love Addie, my parents dog. And my dad which is weird because up until this very point on their trip to FL she had hated all non-Jen humans. This did give Jen a very nice break and my dad couldn't have loved his role as super hero any more.


Thomas was doing great the beginning of the day. He was tired due to not napping on the way there, but otherwise seemed to be a trooper. Until dinner time. I couldn't get him to eat which is very unusual. It was explained later when I picked him up and he puked all over me. Not just once, but about 5 times.

I got us all cleaned off and we headed off to take pictures. And can anyone guess what happened in the car??? Come on and guess. Yay for whoever guessed Thomas puking more. We dropped Heather and the photographers (my mom and cousin) off and went to my brothers to clean up yet again. This was luckily the last puking incident of the trip.
But can anyone guess what I did all night long that night??? Yeah, yeah, exactly.
I remember us girls going to Cedar Key once pre-babies. It involved boat rides, sun bathing, napping, yummy food, site seeing, shopping, etc. I had a similar expectation going into this trip it just involved the occasional diaper changing, but boy was I wrong. It's times like these that I realize what having children does to you. It makes you such a bigger person who can cope with what seems like the worst of situations. It also makes you realize that those situations aren't so bad. Yeah, the tripped seemed a little hellish, but we did laugh and we did have fun so all in all we can see a little bright side to it. It's just not a very shiny one.
William turned 6 on April 30th. We attended a little dinner for him the next Sunday. He actually requested that I make his cake. Box cake with store bought icing. It was always my favorite and it looks like it might be his too. And since it was his birthday we let him eat the icing straight from the container.


Thomas loved having all of the kids to play with at the party.

Just because I love it & think it's funny.


Hmmm, is he trying to tell me something??

I didn't get the hint, because this next picture was taken about 20 minutes later.

He was promptly put into bed. I do have some more recent pictures that I will try to get up, but the next two weeks will be a little crazy so I will try and get to them, but I'm not making any promises.
