Five years ago today, at 10:04 pm, our middle man was born.
Out of the three, he was our biggest, at 8 lbs. 5 oz.
His was also my longest labor
(15 hours...not horrible, but much longer than the other two)
I remember thinking that he was never coming out, but oh, when he did...


How very loved he is.

In usual tradition, we had birthday pancakes this morning.


Happy, happy birthday buddy....we love you so much.

And my tiniest H is content to play with this water tower thing.

Goats, Cows, a Pig, and a Bunny...
...oh, and a donkey and a turkey too. I took the boys to a petting zoo that was at our library last week, and it was unexpected fun. The animals were great...extremely patient. :) I've been trying to come up with different things we can do since H1 broke his arm, and this was definitely different. And fun. The pics aren't great, but here they are...

that late night VBS schedule is a killer. ;)
For the record~ I did not put him down for a nap on the ottoman...he fell asleep there all by himself, after spending over an hour resisting naptime in his bed. What's a mom to do?
Cover him with a blanket, and go on with my business,
while keeping a watchful eye that he stays on the ottoman. :)

Awards and Accidents

It's hard to believe it's been a year...sometimes it seems like it just happened yesterday, but most days it seems like it's been an eternity. I just miss her too much.
I think about how much she would be enjoying the boys right now, how much fun we could be having getting to shop together, all the amazing heart-to-heart talks we could be having, and just what an all-around amazing grandma I had.
I would do just about anything to have gotten more time with her...but God had other plans. She was pretty fabulous so I can understand why He would want her there. :)
And I think it's pretty fantastic (amazing, comforting, mind-blowing, etc.) that one day I will see her again, that I know exactly where she is right now, even as I type this...and it makes me very thankful that this earthly place we call home is just temporary. Because even though my life here is pretty amazing, it so completely pales in comparison to how life will be there that I can't even really imagine. Our life there will be beyond our wildest dreams. And that helps when I'm missing her and Dandy more than I can stand, or when I wonder what Brian's dad was like. Someday I won't have to worry about either of those things. So for now, even though I want them here so badly it hurts, I will choose to honor their memories here, and carry on their legacies of faith and love with my family.
We love you Momo, and miss you more than we can describe.

Star Scholar Repeater
H1's school for a special awards ceremony.
This year he (again) earned the Star Scholar award for getting straight A's
and an E or S in conduct all year.
Fun with Aunt Stacey



Champs
Our17-1 record Astros won the championship tournament on Sunday, and you would have thought it was the World Series. In our little world, it was. :)
They are so cute, and played SO WELL...I was back and forth between tears and goosebumps at all three games they played. It's been incredible seeing this team work and play together, and to really get what it means to be a team. They have been a blast to watch, and now we're not quite sure what to do with ourselves now that it's over. Astros rock! :)
