2nd party and cute matching outfits

Papa and Grandma Surburg were here for the weekend to celebrate the twins' 3rd birthday. We had Grandma Surburg's chocolate cake with chocolate frosting :)! And yes, there is a picture of Matthew blowing out candles after it was already cut and served....it's a Mathhew and/or twin thing! They loved their presents, but the biggest hit was Abby's Dora purse! She takes it everywhere she goes!!! Thanks to Uncle Mikey who picked up all of the matching clothing....they look so cute!

I'm the mom of 3 year old twins!

I'm so happy that my darlings are 3! They are now potty trained :)! We had a great birthday party with Grandma B, Uncle Mikey and the Drury family. It was a Dora and Diego party along with Dora and Diego toys!

My little Indy...

Well, Uncle Mike is here visiting, and he actually arrived on the opening day of the new Indiana Jones movie. So, Uncle Mike decided to provide Timothy with the full Indiana Jones outfit that he always wanted as a kid! My Timothy doesn't know how lucky he is to have Michael as an Uncle! Anyway, this is just minuted after getting the outfit and other items....his smile says it all!!

Mother's Day 2008

Well, admittedly, this has not been my best or favorite Mother's Day. I only had 4 1/2 hours of sleep, last night, and the kids are still in transition from Michael's arrival. I did, however, get my OWB check from the Spring sale for a nice amount + an anonymous individual from church gave me a sweet card with a money gift + I got the cutest handmade gifts from Timothy + a card from Mark and another from the kiddos. All in all, the day is ending on a better note than it started on for me! I did get some cute photos of Michael (almost 7 weeks), and I will upload a few! Happy Mother's Day to my Mom, MIL & all other Moms out there!

we're still here!

Yes, it's been awhile! We are attempting to make it through the day without too much drama,and some days are good and others come to an end! Michael does seem to be better with his Zantac and low dairy intake, but he still is a bit colicky in the evening. We are getting better at planning for and handling fussy moments. The 3 oldest still love their baby brother, and this is VERY good! I spent the afternoon snapping photos of the 3 youngest. I LOVE the photo of the twins (Abby is so much taller and they don't look a thing alike)! I will attempt to blog more in the days to come.

The colic,reflux and or allergy may kill us!

So, Michael has decided to follow in his siblings footsteps! He is FUSSY and has so many more symptoms to add, so we went to see the Pediatrician today. He is now on Zantac and we can try the Nutramigen formula (they gave us a couple of sample cans). I want to try the medicine and continue to nurse while watching my dairy intake. So, we'll see......but with 3 other kids, this is quite a challenge!! Well, I will share some photos from this week, and as someone said, God makes them cute because they're sooooo much work! Have a great weekend!
