One Month Old

It is so hard to believe that Kodah is already a month old - actually 5 weeks and 3 days. He had gained 3 pounds in the first 4 weeks which the pediatrician thought was a lot. She said that most babies just gain around 1 pound. He is getting better about sleeping at night but it is still very hard for me. He loves sleeping right next to me but then I don't sleep well so I am working hard at getting him in his own bed. We have yet to give him a hair cut and we probably won't for a long time although he needs it. I am so excited to get to see everyone in Oklahoma this weekend and show off my baby boy. He is one handsome little man.

One Week Old

Four weeks old

Five weeks old

So Good to be with Family

The kids have gotten to spend lots of time with Mema & Papa and cousins.
So good to be home!!!!!

The MOVE

From Old to New! We are so excited to be here in Spur! We walk to church, walk to the grocery store, my kids have seen family lots already and we are loving it! The move here was pretty smooth. My mom & dad came up and helped pack, load & unload. My dad is also helping with repairs to our new house (there is another post to come concerning this issue called "the money pit"). He is one special guy. And my mom helped with the kids during the move and has taken my kids several times in the last 4 weeks so that I could get some rest. God sure blessed me more than I deserve by giving me my parents. When we got to Spur to unload, Romeo's dad Romeo and his wife Debbie helped & our pastor and neighbor Rory helped. Thanks you guys!!!

So with not a whole lot of time to write and so much to say, I will just post some pictures of the move.

The OLD - We loved this house and will miss so many things about it!

The NEW - So different and needs SO much work.

Home Improvement: Trimming Trees

My dad & Romeo worked hard one morning chopping down two trees that were covering up the house!!

Romeo likes to trim bushes and things so he thinned out several trees, shrubs, and bushes all around the yard.
