Spring Showers and Random Pictures

I wonder how many times I've used the word "random" in my post titles? 

A lot, I bet.

It rained cats and dogs and hail this weekend.  During a break in between the storms we headed out to splash in some puddles. 

Puddles are cool when you're 2 and 4. And when you're allowed to jump in the puddles...well, that's "super-duper-oooooper cool!" as Brooke would say. Puddles are pretty fun when you're a 30-something mama with a camera, too.

Brooke went on a one-woman mission to rescue the worms stranded on the sidewalk.  She may be a girly-girl, but she'll get dirty when little slimy lives are at stake.  Ew.  



I got a weed bouquet from my best gal.

In other news, Eli is doing better.  That makes us all happy.

Especially him!

I would say Nate has fully adjusted to the new baby at this point.  It took a little while, but he's decided his little brother can stay.  He's also realized there's fun to be had, even when mama's too busy to play.

Seeing my failure, Brooke has taken on Nathan's potty training.  She drags him into the bathroom every time she goes and gives him a step-by-step demonstration.  She got him to sit on the potty, which is much better than the "I just have a diaper!!!!" response I get from him. 

Here's hoping!

Selective Memory

Things have been a little wild around the Baby Days household lately.

I'll take a breather from my usual selective memory blogging to tell you: It seems the little one has a case of reflux.  If you've ever had a baby with reflux, you know it's not conducive to blogging or photography.  (Or sleeping or speaking in complete sentences or leaving the house). 

Poor Eli just does not feel good.  And he's taking us all down with him.

But the good news is we've started Eli on some medicine and we think...we hope it's working.  I'm taking the time to blog and writing mostly in complete sentences.  That's a good sign. 

So let's get back to the selective memory blogging, shall we?

Here's Eli during a few precious moments of contentment. 

Little fingers and toes...that's what this mama will remember. :-)

Happy Easter!

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. And it happened that while they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling apparel; and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead? He is not here, but He has risen!"   Luke 24: 1-6

Happy Easter from all of us!
