TuTu Tired

Wowsers...Allie and I like to use that word. Wowsers I'm "tutu" tired just like Mary was in this pic. It was lunch time today, and she was throwing a fit about not getting what she wanted, so as usual I put her in time out until she was "done" with her fit. I started talking to Melissa and Hud on the phone, and forgot to get her out of time out...oops. I checked on her after a bit, and found her curled up in my bed with her tutu still on! She must have been pooped to skip lunch. We all know this one has not missed many meals in her life. She slept for 2 hours. That was some time out. Now it is 9:06..past my bedtime. Faber is working late into the night these days, so having the 3 of them alone is more of a marathon than a sprint. They are all in bed though, and my number one feeder (Fabe) will take the next one. That's a great thing about being married to someone with a crazy schedule. One more day of this, then I have some help on Monday evening. Oh the other pic...our good friend Candi who moved away to Dallas about a year ago stopped by to see Garrett! She kept all our small group kids every week for almost 2 years! She loves the kiddos. Good to see you. Good night!

Sleeping and Swimming

We managed to make it to the pool this week. Faber has been off some during the week since he's working this weekend, so he and Garrett slept while the girls and I hit the pool. They LOVED it, and I loved it because it wears them out! We are going back today which will make for an early bedtime.

Another White kid who loves the passy
Ouch...sorry about the crick in your neck baby.
Mary took a bit to warm up to the water, but was jumping
off the side before we left. You can never wear to many floaties;
she's our cautious kid.
Allie and Emma Cate...very much two little mermaids.

Allie's drug problem

Well, most of you know about our little chronic cougher. She's been coughing most of her life it seems, but this fall/winter was especially bad. So, we went to see the allergist yesterday. Thankfully she doesn't have to do all the testing yet. He gave us lots of new "toys" to work with this summer to see if we can fix her medications. Apparently, she wasn't doing her inhaler correctly and maybe she hasn't been getting the right dose. (He watched her use it). Now you would think I would know better since that's what I went to school for, but we'll try anything. She's using a totally different inhaler where all she has to do is suck in and hold her breath. We'll see if it helps!

Grammatical error

I just realized in the post below that I am sleep deprived. I said Mary could be "there's" instead of "theirs." I didn't proof read. Things like this make Faber cringe, so consider the mistake noted. I can't figure out how to edit a post! If anyone wants to share, let me know!

Hey Mary looks like them!

Did I mention how much my kids love Emmy and Adam. Adam and Emily dropped by after church on Sunday, and Mary ran screaming A-D-A-M! She again posed for the camera..very shocking. I loved this pic and kindof thought..wow Mary could be there's. You should see Em's tot pics. Now of course Mary looks like Fabe, but in some of Em's pics she looks like her too.

Hangin' out with Uncle Adam

Last night, I took Garrett over to one of the hot spots in the View...yes Em and Adam's house. The girls stayed home which is the only way Adam could get any lap time with Mr. Garrett. They both LOVE LOVE LOVE Adam, and Garrett is already "smitten" himself. Mom and Ms. Cathey came down as well for the weekend, so we'll see more of them tonight. They are going shopping with Emmy today. Have fun girls! I'm too tired to attend..oh and I have 3 kids now; I may not be going shopping for a long time!
A hard day at the office...let's just rest.
Just having some man talk
Loving Nanna's shoulder. She seems to know how to handle
babies pretty well..good thing..2 more coming in the next few
weeks. Mason, Amber, and Anna Kate (3) are due to have Grace
Elizabeth in June. Hudson, Melissa, Olivia (8), and Maxwell (almost 5)
will welcome Abigail Grace in July. Yes, count them up for Nanna...
that makes 8 Grandkids!

Happy Birthday Pappy!

Today is Pappy's (Faber's dad) 60th Birthday! Allie decided to "direct" a pretend party this morning. She dressed herself and Mary for the party complete with dresses and make up. The put together their "puzzle" cake and sang. Here is a clip of their song (Mary was not much help) and their blowing out the candle at the end. Happy Birthday Pappy!
