Getting ready for summer

The boys are done with school, so I guess summer has officially started. What's been going on with us? Matthew has really gotten interested in his bike and has gotten really good at riding it. He goes for bike rides with daddy while Thomas pulls the wagon. I took Matthew to the Marine institute. He had a great time. He enjoyed the touch tanks with sharks and stingrays, the shark tooth fossil dig, and seeing the dolphins. Thomas has started potty training this past week. He has done really well with it. He wears his underwear all day except for naps and night time. I still haven't taken him out yet, but he seems to get the concept pretty well with a few accidents, if any a day. Yay Thomas!! I am looking forward to the summer and the arrival of baby Williston. It will be challenging keeping the boys busy enough and me being at the end of my pregnancy in this heat! Luckily I have great help with the boys so I think we can do it!

pictures and the beach

Here are a few recent pictures of the boys. We also went to the beach last weekend and had a great time. The boys LOVED it. We had a house on the beach so it was so nice being able to go back and forth as needed. So much fun! I can't figure out how to write under the pictures anymore since it has changed...so pictures in order: Boys are sharing a room now, Thomas riding his tractor, Matthew and his dinosaurs, playing on the beach with Nana and PawPaw, destroying a sandcastle, and sliding in the sand! We had a great time1

Happy Birthday Thomas!!

We celebrated Thomas' 2nd birthday this past weekend. We just had a few people over to celebrate with us, but it was great! We had a dinosaur birthday party. Thomas had his 2 yr check up last week also. He did great. The dr was very impressed with him. He weighed 27.2 lbs (33%) and was 33% in height. Here are some party pictures:

Napping in the car. Tough stuff

Matthew at the Marine Institute. He loves dolphins!

Daddy's little helper in the kitchen. Paul took him to the grocery store. He picked out some green beans and noodles (neither of which he will eat)Paul let him help make it.

Enjoying the dinner he helped prepare! I couldn't believe it. However, he did get a burn on the finger from touching the stove the next meal he helped with :(

God is good!

Prayers have been answered! I had another Dr appmt today and all my complications seem to have resolved and everything is looking good! We are so relieved to hear that! We also found out we are having another BOY! That's right, we will have 3 boys now! It will be wild here, but we are so excited and feel so blessed! God is good!

Complications

Well I am almost 15 weeks. The past few weeks I have been having some complications. I have been going in about once a week to get an ultrasound. Throughout this all the baby looks great! It was playing with its feet, smacking its mouth, moving all over the place, and has a strong heartbeat! Please keep us in your prayers though. I am having to take it easy and try and rest as much as I can, which is hard with 2 little boys! We are just praying for improvement. Each week seems to get a little better, but it is something that is just unpredictable as for how long it will go on! This had been very scary and tough for us, but seeing the baby each week is reassuring! Thanks in advance for the prayers!
