What we have been up to

Things are trucking along at our house with the boys in school, me and Dax working, church, weekends, sickness. It is hard to keep up. I realize a whole month and a half have passed without a single post. We have had several things going on just in our daily life; plenty to blog about just haven't done it.

We have approximately 11 weeks left until little Reese joins our family and there has been and still is plenty to do. You will see below my nights after work have consisted of going through clothes passed down from my sisters girls and washing. I haven't gotten around to ironing just yet :) Dax helped me hang up some of the dresses the other night out of the washing machine and I handed him a slip and said this goes under that little gown. He replied, "Oh no, this is going to be a lot worse than the boys." I just laughed. I am afraid our world is about to be turned upside down - even though I came from nothing but girls.This is one of many many piles. I just went ahead and pulled out all of them instead of only getting the newborn stuff. This means I have got to get Owen's clothes moved to his and Cole's room so that Sissy's can go in her closest and dresser.
Plenty to wear; don't you think? Some of these dresses include things worn by my sisters and me. It is funny to see them and think about a photo we have in them. It will be sweet to see Reese in them; especially because both boys have worn outfits of Dax's when he was little. Well, as you can see I broke down and gave in to Cole's request and constant begging of an Auburn shirt. I picked these up in TJ Maxx and they haven't taken them off. I am such a good sport! Aren't I? I will admit that they know that I say Roll Tide, they will know I graduated from there and they will go to Alabama football games. We typically go up for homecoming and Dax is a good sport about it then. It is funny because this is exactly how his (Dax's) family grew up. Mrs. Kathy graduated from Alabama, wears her Bama gear and tells the boys she says Roll Tide! We all laugh about it often. Dax took this picture and told the boys to stand like that. I will tell you that they haven't taken them off since Wednesday night :)

We have also suffered another ear infection with little O. Tubes are still in obviously because gook has dripped from his left ear for several days now. We are on antibiotic, ear drops and rounds of breathing treatments. Seems to be helping and he is on the road to recovery. I on the other hand have come down with a cold and as usual it seems ten times worse pregnant. My throat is raw, the eyes are burning, draining in my ears and stuffy nose...sounds like fun, uhhh? Hopefully, this will pass in a few days and I will be feeling better. List is made and there is lots of checking off to be done in a few short weeks.
