Trip to Jacksonville


Ivee's first time in the swimming pool. She did NOT like it!

Ivee on Sonia's balcony with her binky. Sonia so gracously taught her to love it in only two days. THANKS! : (


My last night there, I had 2 bed buddies. Yes, there was no room for me to sleep!

Well, we just got back from visiting Aunt Sonia, Uncle Cris, Whitney, Aunt Kim and Terri in Jacksonville. It was a short trip but I had a really great time. It's fun to get together with family. Ivee did very well for an 8 week old on her first long trip in the car. Frankly I think she did better than her brother and sister. Ethan and Brittney did do okay on the trip down, but on the way back Whitney came with us. The three in the back seat, even with a DVD player showing movies and with head phones, was still extremely loud. They don't get the concept that you don't have to yell with head phones on and if you are talking to someone else with headphones on they can't hear you. Then there was the, "Stop touching me! your on my side!" stuff.
For those of you who keep up with my blogging, I have a couple of prayer request. Ethan has an extremely bad abcessed tooth. He is on a second round of antibiotics to knock out the infection, and once it is gone the tooth will have to be pulled. Ethan has never even had a cavity, so I am hoping he doesn't freck out that his first dental problem is a slightly big one. I know I would be scared at the age of six to have that needle coming towards my mouth. Luckly he doesn't know what is going to happen yet, so I'm not getting the nervous jitters out of him everyday, having the anticipation of what is to come.
Also, I have a big discission to make within the next week. I'm really struggling with which way to go. I know what my heart wants, and I know what would be best, but there are things that I would have to give up, some good, some bad, and there are things that I would enjoy and dislike about both sides. I know this sounds a bit confussing, but it will make sense someday to most of you. I am just waiting for confirmation from God, cause I don't want to go anywhere he doesn't want me to go, or do anything he doesn't want me to do.
And lastly, Ivee is getting over a cold, so keep her in mind. It is so hard to be congested when you are only two months old and you don't know how to blow your nose.
Thanks and love to everyone.
