Family Pictures

I finally got around to posting our family pictueres. Aren't you proud of me?
This is Wee One's "angelic" look, we don't see it real often.
I think this one is so cute--the kids are both smiling at the same time!!!!


Wee One and Bo loved having pictures with "just Daddy" and "just Mommy".

Bo's "angelic" look--we actually see this quite often, he is a sweetheart.

The Changing of the Name

So, we decided to change Gabriel's name. I was never too excited about that name; it just didn't seem like that was HIS name. Anyway, tonight it was driving me crazy that this baby isn't named, so I had a face off with Daddy. We each came up with a list of 5 names that we liked. Then we traded lists. I chose one of the names he'd come up with and he chose one of the ones I'd come up with that we liked. Then we put those two names in a hat and Wee One drew one out. So it ends up that the baby's name is Eddie. I love that name!!!! That definitely seems like it is HIS name.

Gee, Thanks

So the other day we were walking through WalMart (because, that's just what we do when we're bored), and Wee One says, "Mom, I would never call you a fat hippo." Two thoughts, really: 1) Well, thanks. That's nice of you to not call me names. 2) Why were you thinking about me and fat hippos at the same time. Oh well, I guess she does have a point. Gabe has decided to grow straight out from my belly, so I am getting quite large. That's alright, though, as long as he just keeps growing like he's supposed to. He is the wiggliest (is that a word?) kid I've had by a long shot, though. Wee One liked to move in the morning, Bo at night, Charlie at lunch, and Chelsie whenever she gathered enough strength to really let me have it, but Gabe just moves constantly all day long. That's good, though. If he goes more than an hour without using my bladder as a trampoline, I start getting worried. It's kind of nice to have that constant reminder that he's okay.
