Colin's "bed" at the coast!

It's been a long time since I last posted ... life gets in the way of keeping you all up to date with what's going on! Pretty ironic, I think!

James had his shots (4 of them) and now he is completely registered for school. We have to wait and see if we finished "early enough" ... if we didn't, he will be bussed to another school, rather than being at the school right across the street. He is getting so big! He has started helping more and more with Colin - today he asked to feed Colin! A few days ago, James had been throwing up (for about 3 days) and not keeping anything down ... so I took him to the Pediatric Urgent Care and they gave him an IV and some medicine to get him to stop throwing up. We were 'only' there for about three hours and we went home. He was MUCH better the next day, and hasn't stopped talking since.

Colin is growing so fast! He is 6 months old already!! He is eating more foods, sitting up on his own, and trying to get his knees under him so he can start to crawl. He is still not sleeping through the night, but in the past week he has gotten a little closer!

I won a Playstation 3!! It was delivered yesterday (to Mom's house) and I picked it up today - Larry claimed it as soon as I told him I had won! (We haven't played anything yet. It came with one game, but first we need to find room for it.) Larry downloaded Scrabble, Battleship and Sorry on the XBox, so we have been playing games in the evening after the kids are in bed!!! :) (Sometimes, during the day, I will play a game of Battleship with James while Colin naps.)

The last weekend in April was interesting ... Larry and I knew we were pregnant (about 13 weeks), but we hadn't told anyone ... needless to say, I miscarried that baby (and we will NOT be having anymore). I lost too much blood, so Larry had to take me to the hospital and they kept me overnight. Mom took the kids to the coast with her ... Larry and I drove down Saturday afternoon and we came home Sunday (with the kids) ... Sunday night is the night James started throwing up.

Misc. Stuff: We are having a garage sale with Mom & Dad this weekend ... hopefully we make some money! :) Becca got a job in Dallas and has moved up there with Brandon.

Until next time ...

All our love! :)
