Little Reminder

I am just giving myself a little reminder of how sweet Eliza really is. Yesterday was a hell of a day with her crying all day long and not sleeping except for one tiny little nap. She is a relatively happy baby and getting happier the older she gets but yesterday something was wrong because she cried all day long. I don't know if she is trying to get my milk supply up or what but I am just praying that today goes better. I have a very busy day today and it would make for even more misery if she acted the same as yesterday. She really is a sweet little girl!!!!

Mom and Eliza and Matthew in background

Eliza one month old

Eliza is one month old. Well I guess actually she is now 5 weeks old but still. She is just the cutest 5 week old that you ever did see right? Hey by the way for those of you wondering we got Daniel a new pair of shoes and he went from having a size 5 to a size 7. I really think that its the kind of shoe because he can still fit into his church size 5 shoe just fine. But just the fact that I had to pay more money for the shoe and the fact that he is so close to wearing a man's size shoe is just sicking!!!!

Mom, I need new shoes

Mom, I need new shoes, Daniel says. Why? I have a hole in them. Well you know what babe, school is almost over you can just wear them with a little hole until then. WE can get you new ones for school next year. (the kids either go barefoot or wear flip flops all summer) Okay he says. This is what I find a couple of mornings later while he was waiting for the bus. That is no little hole and I felt bad for telling him he would have to wait. This is grounds for new shoes for sure. His toe is just about completely out of his shoe the hole is so big. I asked him if anyone had made fun of him for his shoe and he said no. But still I felt like a bad mother. Sending my kid off with half a shoe is just about considered neglect right???

Daniel;s 4th grade play

Hope that you can hear it because it was a little hard for us to hear. Notice the kid next to him with his "cheat notes "on the hand. It was the same old play that Aaron's class did last year but I am really glad we went. It was new for Daniel and he was so proud of himself. That makes dragging 7 kids out with Dad being at work, worth the struggle. And actually they were really pretty good.

Sorry for the unsteady hand on this one. I think I might have been trying to discipline kids at the same time.

Oh my Matthew

This is Matthew my little brute #6 child and fourth boy in the line of kids. He is so big and alllllllllllll boy. He loves any ball around and truck and train around. He has an obsession with Thomas the Train and balls in general. For the most part they are all baseballs. It doesn't' matter how many times we correct him it is still a baseball. He could spend all day putting together train tracks and pushing trains around on that track. He can't stand being alone. I don't think he has ever been alone in his whole life. He loves food. Especially hot dogs. He would eat a whole package by himself if it were allowed. How gross is that??!!! He loves to help clean up and participate anything that the big kids are doing. He is strong willed and when he gets an idea in his head he can't seem to get rid of it. He will come back to that thought no matter how much punishment is dolled out. He loves to help with the baby and loves holding her all the time. Even if she is crying. He is a sweet fun boy and he can crack us up so much. He thinks he is one of the big boys but he is sad for him to say my little boy.
