Toddler Bed Training is Tough!

Yeah, the first week was really difficult! It took a few nights for Noah to get used to his new sleeping arrangements. He would wake up a couple times a night and cry for us...so hard on everyone! One of the first nights, he woke up around 4:00 a.m., and was playing with some toys that were in his room. He played for about 20 min., and then went back to bed. I took this picture of him around 7:00 a.m. that same morning...

Looks like he barely made it back into the bed before crashing! :)

Down at Hobart & Faye's

This weekend we made our annual trip down to visit with Hobart & Faye. Noah had a blast playing on their front porch. He kept going over to the edge of the porch, picking up one rock at a time, and delivering it to Aunt Luc. He probably made the trip over 20 times!!

Big Boy Bed Adventures

Well, it's time. Time to transition Noah to his toddler bed! I can't believe he's big enough for this new change, or that baby boy #2 will be here in 10 weeks! So anyway, we got Noah a toddler bed and his first night to sleep in it is tonight...we'll see how it goes!

Checking out the new bed...

Hey, I think I like this!

Ready for ni-night...

Reagan!! (Tim and Hannah, too)

My cousin, Tim, coaches a soccer team in Indiana. His team was going to be in a tournament here in Lexington, KY, and I jumped at the chance to see him and his family. Especially since I've never seen little Reagan in person, and she's 3 months old! So we worked it out for Hannah and Reagan to come stay with us, while they were in town for the tournament. It was so much fun! Noah really enjoyed having a baby here (good practice), and loved on her every chance he got!

We met them at the soccer field on Saturday evening to watch a game. They were also doing some sort of herding dog show there too, so there were hundreds of sheep in the field across from us. Jeff took Noah over to see the sheep and he made "baaa-baaa" sounds at them. (Sorry I didn't get any pictures of this.)

Noah meeting Reagan for the first time--be gentle, buddy!

Oh, she's pretty!

I'm gonna give her a hug!

After the game we went out to eat together, then Tim had to go back to the hotel to chaperone, so Hannah and Reagan came to Winchester to spend the night with us. Reagan was a champion sleeper and did great in an unfamiliar bed! Sunday morning we lounged around the house and the kiddos played together...

Cuddle Time

More Hugs!

We were so glad they we able to come down for a visit! It was great to have a baby GIRL around...she's the only one out of 15 great-grandchildren!

Mother's Day Photo Shoot

Since we had all 6 of the grandsons together over Easter weekend...we got them all coordinated and did a photo shoot with of hopes of getting some good ones to give to Mamaw for Mother's Day. Here are my favorites...

We had this last picture put on a T-shirt for Mamaw to wear. If you see her, ask her how her first time wearing the shirt went...LOL!!!

Mother's Day Weekend--Breathe Retreat

I think that Tammy, Tara, Kim, and I got the BEST Mother's Day gift ever!! Our hubbies sent us on a two night women's retreat with our church. It was fabulous! We had so much fun--the ride up, the time away, wonderful speakers, memorable small group time, etc.

Getting ready to leave for retreat--so excited!!

The first evening session.

At another session...not much sleep the night before...but oh, so much fun!

I was so grateful to Jeff for making it possible for me to go on retreat...he did such a great job with Noah! It was also super nice to hear how much I was missed! ;)
