were kicking him out. but not far.
george is getting too big for the bassinet. he can kick his feet over the edge, and even though he doesnt roll from his back to his belly yet, i dont want him coming out of there on his own. the cribs been painted and i bought a mattress a couple weeks ago, but we hadnt decided where to put him yet.
last night helped us decide. he woke up to eat around 430, and then decided to chat and squeal for the next hour and a half. at six i gave up on sleep and so did jason. im not ready to stick him in with emma, because i just dont trust her with him in there all night. and the front room already has the bunk beds and play pen for jesse to nap in...
so this is where were at.
i put the crib in the closet. it just fits.
this way hes still close if (when) he wakes up hungry in the night, and far enough away that we can close doors and ignore his cheerful sounds in the wee hours.
good timing too, hes fussing and ready for an afternoon nap. lets go try out that crib!

oops
heidi and katie, i am so sorry, i havent replied to any of your comments since july. well, today i found out that they werent getting emailed to me (on either blog! ugh!) so thats all taken care of. and i am so glad you both love the apron, and yes katie i will make you a bazillion things for all your babies (you too heidi) and i LOVE that some of my favorite clothes are ones i have made.
okay, so theres that.
and its october already. oops.
jasons studying has been going a bit better. there is a study session that he can attend at bsu two nights a week from 7-9, and that has helped. the test if coming up quick, october 30.
i have been busy with kids, and more kids these last few weeks. a basic run down of my week involves church and sometimes nursery duty sunday, afternoon at home during naps, then back to church for refuge with the teens. monday night we have small group at 7, but thats a study night, so i take the kids by myself. tuesdays i am going to bible study at church from 930-1130, and really enjoying that mid week, mid day break from the kids. wednesday and thursdays i have had all four kiddos lately. i tend to keep the boys about 3 days a week on average. (though, its been less the last couple weeks.) and friday jason gets home at a decent time so we eat dinner together and he gets to see emma. im not sure we ever really have a relaxing saturday, because jasons either working, or helping out a friend, or doing some last minute tidying up around here for me.
emma is doing well. growing. not just turning into a little girl, but also growing quite the opinionated attitude. i wish there was a way to do one without the other. she has so many words now, and whole sentences even. and such a good eye. she can spot birds, or puppies, or just about anything from a long way off.
george is also growing. but just longer. :) at his 4 month check up he weighed 13 pounds 13 ounces. and he had grown several inches. he is in the 84th percentile for length, and 27th for weight. and his weight for length? 0.84 percentile. what a skinny little boy i have. he grins, and has a great chuckle. he wakes up in the night again (a new trend i think) but after a couple terrible days (when he just cried in the night) he usually goes right back to sleep after he eats.
so thats what we are up to. growing and learning and playing together. and now the fun part! pictures!
last week i was emptying a box of things from our office and found my old red phone. i had kept it to give it to the kids to play with, so that evening i gave it to emma. how her eyes lit up when i told her it was emmas phone, and that she could push all the buttons. adorable.
a pair of groucho glasses have been floating around since i bought them at the dollar store a couple years ago. the nose came off last year, and just last week they broke for good, but not before emma had a chance to play with them. im not sure if she is groucho, or lady gaga with some serious eyelashes.
and, a very important skill every kid should know. how to swing on your tummy. she loved it.
how could andie and i resist a black and red plaid flannel shirt for george? we just couldnt. he looks like such a cute little lumber jack in it too.
the boys are getting old enough to acknowledge each other. its nice. they still go right for the eyes most of the time, but once in a while one of them will make the other smile.

a busy month!
sep 3 heidi took some fantastic pictures of our family at the boise train depot.
and george turned three months old. :)
ive been watching the boys about 3 days a week this month.
i started the beth moore bible study on esther on september 14, and so far im really enjoying it.
the evening of the 15th emma vommed in her crib, and i found her covered the next morning. so, i took the crib apart to clean it up, and she got to enjoy the freedom of a big girl bed. (why bother putting the front back on, right?) and shes doing pretty well in it.
jason worked the weekend of the 11th and 12th, but was able to enjoy this weekend off. he bought his plane ticket two nights ago to go take his EIT test in california at the end of october.
we are busy doing a whole lot of every day things. :)

outdoor swing
we have a swing out back that i love. i bought it with my graduation monies, along with a fire pit, so jason and i could enjoy hanging out in the back yard. this week the swing ripped.
but mom was here, and we went to joanns and picked up some outdoor fabric. we took the swing apart, and ripped the seams on the old swing so it could be a pattern for a new one. i cut and sewed, then we reassembled and ta-da! new swing. :)
