Jonathan's dad and step mom, Marguerite, just left yesterday to go back home to California. We stayed really busy while they were here and had lots of fun. My camera is not working very well so I will put pictures up when I get them. In the meantime...

A couple weeks ago, before church, Kirsten went and stood by this little tree by the parking lot and said "take a picture of me mom". I happened to have a camera in my diaper bag, so I did. Our church is in the middle of nowhere.



Colton learned how to roll over onto his tummy last weekend. Every time I go to get him up from his nap his arm is stuck in the crib, poor kid. What's the general consensus on bumper pads? He's doing so much better at holding his head up. Hopefully we'll be done with physical therapy soon!

One more picture

Here's one more pictures just because I thought it was really sweet.

Last Oklahoma pictures...

We spent the rest of the days going to the zoo, getting pedicure with the girls, shopping, getting pictures taken, going to incredible pizza...we had so much fun! My camera died after the zoo so this is all I have.

The Lake

On Monday night we headed up to Fort Gibson lake.


We played tons of games together. Which is one of my favorite things about getting together (I know how much you love it too, right Miranda? I can just see it in your face)

On the boat...

Kirsten tubing with mommy. That definitely wasn't her favorite thing, but she liked it enough to go again with daddy later.

Oklahoma cont...

When we finally arrived Colton got to meet his cousin Bryce for the first time. Kirsten called him "my cousin" the whole trip. "where's my cousin going" and "my cousin is so funny".

We blessed Colton on Sunday and we did not take very many pictures. Our camera has been freaking out lately, so most of the pictures are blurry.

Emily and Eric playing with Colton.

Colton with Papa

Finally...

So I am really good at putting things off that I know will take a long time, thus the delay on these pictures (not that anyone cares but anyway here it is).
First off we had so much fun I'm so glad that Justin, Miranda, and Bryce were there it was so fun for almost everyone to be together. Next year Geoff will be there too and it will be great!

The trip didn't start out so great. We woke up at 4 to make a 6:30 flight that didn't actually leave until 10:30. Luckily the Philly airport has a play place.

Kirsten and her new BFF...

We just thought she looked cute pulling her little suitcase around.

We stuck in the Atlanta airport for 6 hours too. They don't have a play area but they do have a train, that was pretty exciting.

Colton's PT appt. and finger sucking

We got back from Oklahoma last weekend and I have a bunch of pictures to put up from our trip. But I'm putting that off for now...
First here's an update on Colton. It seemed like he cried his entire 2nd month of life and I just figured he had colic or something, but then I found out during his 2nd doctor's appointment that he had an ear infection, poor little guy. Anyway, since he started taking his antibiotics he has been his sweet little self again. He's so smiley and happy and so much fun to have around. Yesterday I had to take him to the physical therapists to help him stretch out his neck and prevent a severely misshapen head. The PT was doing all of these stretches and things and Colton was just happy as a clam. She had him laying down on his back and was straightening out his head. He just starting laughing hysterically for a few minutes. It was so cute. The PT said that usually babies are screaming at that point. So here I am feeling so proud to have such an adorable little baby when Kirsten wets her pants all over the floor (I decided to take her with me because usually she's pretty good, but that won't be happening again) . I guess I needed some humbling.

Is this really happening? I have caught Colton sucking on his 2 middle fingers a few times in the last few days. Like sister like brother I guess.

Goodbye old pal...

Well, after 12 long years it was finally time to say goodbye. We'll miss you.
