About Us
Glenn and I have been married for ten spectacular years. We recently moved to Saudi Arabia, which is obviously very far away from both of our families. We keep this blog updated so we can stay close to our friends and fam and to keep a record of our family adventures. Glenn is enjoying his new job and I am loving being a stay-at-home mom. We have two sweet little boys, Tate and Finn and two darling twin baby girls, Taryn and Kenna. We love them to pieces. We also love date nights, good movies, good food, and being with each other.

Naptime?

Picture Tuesday...on Wednesday. Sorry for the delay Mom. Little Tatie is 7 weeks old. Good gracious!
Naptime is a but of a mystery to us lately. Sometimes he goes down just fine and sleeps until he's ready to eat again, and sometimes he has a harder time. This morning for example, he ate, was awake for about an hour, and then started to get sleepy so I bundled him and put him down in his crib. He then proceeded to work himself up to a freak out cry every 5-10 minutes or so for the next hour and a half until I just decided to feed him again. Poor kid.
Sometimes I feel like he spends more time in his crib like this:Than like this:

I know that's not the case...but sometimes it feels like it. Poor little man. It's so pathetic because when he gets really worked up even just for a few minutes I come into the room and he is bright red and soaked with tears.
He does love his changing table however. I think it's his favorite place. to be. He just coos and smiles the whole time he's lying there. So sweet. It's hard to catch a good picture of him smiling. He squints when it flashes and moves around when I'm talking to him. I keep trying though.
Now why can't he just do this at naptime in his crib?
Conference was awesome wasn't it? I loved it and felt like so many messages were just for me. I love it when that happens. I'm still sort of pondering a few things but I'll post them at another time.
Random ponderment before I go: What do bunnies have to do with Easter? I suppose I get the eggs and thus the chicks as a symbol of rebirth and a new beginning. But what do bunnies have to do with anything?

I feel so much happier now. I just need a grandbaby fix several times a week and it is hard to only have Tate's in pictures! You really captured him in all moods today. Now I just need to kiss those sweet cheeks.

Can't help you with the bunny thing but Tate is so cute. I loved each picture. And that cute smile! I can't wait to see him again.

Rabbits are the epitomy of rebirth, well maybe just birth. :)
My nephew is so adorable, sorry he is putting you through the works with naptime, that isn't so fun. But, he is the most adorable little man and I love the guitar onsie! That must be a kimmy original, so adorable! Only a few more days and we can snug, yeah!

I'd just pick up that changing pad and put it right in the crib! Tessa Jane loved her changing table too, still does, jabbers and eats her toes, maybe it's something to do with being nakie!

Liz loves her changing table, too. I don't get it. She can be screaming her head off and the second we set her down there, she curls up into a little ball, starts sucking on her toes and is happy as a clam. Kids. :-D

I think it is funny, and I do this too, instead of picking up our crying children we take a picture of them. :) Why do we do that? Probably just because it is funny and we know they won't die by crying an extra minute. Still an interesting question though. :)
