Wow!!

It's been over 5 months since blogging.... I'm just getting farther and farther behind. Let me bring you up to date with just a few paragraphs. Since my last post we have had our third sweet baby boy. Hudson Tait graced us with his presence on March 14th. He came 5 days after his due date and weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz., 20 inches. It was the least of a transition for our family. Our biggest transition has been going from no children to the first little one. He is such a smiley and happy baby. He started turning over really early, like 12 weeks. Maybe even earlier. He is so verbal, started sleeping 6-8 hours through the night by 3 weeks old and stayed there until about 8-9 weeks and then SLOWLY moved his way up to 12 hours at 4 months or just a couple of days after.

We made a sweet family vacation to Tennessee in July and LOVED it! The older two boys had a blast and Hudson was a huge hit! All the Aunts and Uncles got to love on him. He was the only non-mobile baby so he was held A LOT!! I don't know if I gave him his bottle while we were there. CARRAZY, I know!

Honestly, if I didn't have a ton of work to get the baby weight off each time, I would love to be pregnant again! I love the WHOLE process. But...like I've said before, it's not the pregnancy, labor and newborn stage that is hard, it's raising them. Truett is 4 and sometimes I feel like he has had more schooling in psychology than I have. It's hard to know if I'm doing the right thing.
The best thing I've found is a book called "Shepherding a Child's Heart" it is the most insightful and delightful book I've ever come across. It hits the nail on the head. It's practical and yet completely biblical. I have probably read something like 20-30 parenting books. A lot of great books and, yet, this one is THE best in my opinion.

Not that I've got "IT" down, but I'm constantly seeing areas where I need to work on and pray about. So, now that I've got you semi- caught up, maybe I can stay more updated on my blog and give you more weekly posts.

Adventures with Daddy

Truett and Wayne are like two peas in a pod. They are so alike in so many ways. Their love for the outdoors is just one of the many ways they go together so well. Here are some pictures from an unseasonably warm February day.

Hoping Fall Hops Here Real Soon...

because we are running out of Inside Activities! :)

Aww man...

I can't believe I did it again. I have failed at updating you all like I want. I suck at this. I try but this is the last thing I get to. I have stayed so busy cleaning, cooking (more like grilling), playing with my boys and their daddy, exercising, visiting with family and much much more. I hope to update more this week and next. I can't believe next week my littlest boy will be 6 months old. Time has flown by. I have so much to update you on. I will have to pace myself... this could take a while! :)

Big Boy and Outside Adventures

Truett and Wayne had a few adventures. They bundled up and headed for the great outdoors. Okay, so it was only woods behind our house. He is such a big boy.

Merry Christmas 2009

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks!

Truett got "ticketed". He loves to pretend he gives others tickets and this time daddy gave him some tickets.
