Before leaving home, I asked Joel and Jake to make me a bear at Build-A-Bear at the mall. I wanted something to take with me, and I wanted the bear to have their voices. I ended up choosing a soft, white polar bear and Jake recorded a message for me to put inside. Joel tried [...]
The boys are back in West Palm and, of course, I miss them. Luckily, our weekend together was memorable. The boys arrived late Friday afternoon, and we just hung out and had dinner together. I gave Jacob and Joshua teddy bears that I made at Build-A-Bear with message from me (expect a separate post on [...]
It’s been a while coming, but here it is: Joshua’s first tooth! There are actually two bottom teeth working their way through, but one has finally poked out from his gums.
It’s been quite challenging to snap a photo of it and had become somewhat of a quest for me over the past week. I got [...]
Jamie is an extremely organized individual. She makes lists for just about anything we do. Going to the store? List. Going on a trip? That’s a list. Kid’s birthday party coming up? You betcha there’s going to be a list involved. So when the time came to start getting things [...]
Something I noticed when the boys visited last weekend was that from behind Joshua really looks like Charlie Brown. His head is wide with the ears sticking out just right. It’s adorable! Joel and I tried looking for Charlie Brown’s trademark yellow zig-zag pattern shirt, but we didn’t have a lot of luck; they exist, [...]
When Joshua was first born, Jake wanted nothing to do with him. We would tell him: “Jake, you’re a big brother now” to which he would reply “I’m not a big brother, I’m Jacob!”. His jealousy was so obvious, you would almost purposefully pick up Joshua just to watch Jake drop whatever he was doing [...]
Yesterday we celebrated a mini-Christmas. We allowed Jacob to open a couple gifts early. Joshua too. Plus us and mom. Jake just had to open everyone’s presents but we encouraged it. We got a few good pictures and both boys seemed happy. Joel got me a digital picture frame to take to Moffitt and he [...]
1. Joshua is a huge 9.4 pounds! He’s becoming a little butterball, and he’s so cute.
2. I keep getting asked what I want for Christmas. Well, what I want, I can’t have. I can’t be home with my boys, but hopefully, we’ll get to webcam or something similar. As for actual stuff, I’ve been wanting [...]
Joshua’s aunt and uncle sent him the cutest little Tigger outfit. It was a little big for him, but chances are it’ll be too small for him next Halloween. Luckily, there are no rules that say you can’t dress up your kid outside of Halloween, so here are some pics!
Please forgive me for not posting this earlier as it’s been a very busy couple of days. The GOOD NEWS is both Jamie and Joshua were discharge from separate hospitals this past Monday night!
Jamie came home a week after starting her latest round of chemo treatment. She was originally supposed to be discharged [...]
