Finally walking!!!

Abby is our latest walker at 16 1/2 months.  She is so proud of herself, and we are so happy to see her toddling around on 2 feet.  This makes going outside so much more fun for all of us.  Go Abby!

Little Rednecks in Training

Papaw and Ellie were very gracious to buy each boy a present for Jake’s birthday.  This is what Jake chose as his special gift.

Happy Birthday to Jake!

Bunk beds

Just for fun we thought we would try moving all 3 boys into the same bedroom.  Jake and Ben were thrilled at the idea of bunking their beds.  Little Sam was very excited to be sharing a room with his older brothers.  He was so excited in fact, that he was talking, getting out of bed and “using the bathroom” repeatedly, despite many corrective measures, until after 9 pm each night.  And the excitement continued when he woke everyone up each morning around 6 am or even earlier.  All of this excitement was a bit too much for the rest of us, so after a 2 week trial we have moved happy, excited Sam back into his own room for now.
