What a Weekend

I have a new appreciation for all mothers of boys.
My sister-in-law Suzanne who has 4
My sister-in-law Marinda who has 1
My sister-in-law Julie who has 1
And of course my Mother, who manged to raise 3.

This week has been a trying time for Westley and me. It seems that when I am not holding him, he wants me to, and when I am holding him, he doesn't want me to. It's driving me nuts. Not to mention he keeps changing his sleep patterns, which inturn changes mine (I'm not the early bird I used to be when we had seminary at 6am)However we muddled through to the weekend, wherein Jason could share the pain, and now things seem to be ok. Lindsey has been great through all of this. She is a real trooper, and a wonderful helper. I don't know how I managed to do it myself the first time, cause I would certainly be lost without my Lindsey helping me now. Lindsey might be wishing for front teeth for Christmas. One of her two front teeth is finally ready to depart. She is very excited about this ("As soon as it falls out, I wanna call Grammie and tell her, then PorPor (Jason's mom), then Grandpa, then Grandpa Legate, and Great Gramp....") It happened late last night, while we were out exchanging Jason's Christmas Present. (we decided he should open it early, so if I needed to take it back, I wouldn't have to stand in humongous lines) So I don't have pictures yet, but I will post some this afternoon, of her and her wiggly tooth.Yesterday we went to the park, to try and run off some of Westley's neverending energy. I took some pictures, so here they are.

Westley's always been a fan of the slide, but he loves this one the best, because it's so bumpy.






Now that Westley's older we tried the swings again (he used to hate it) He loves it now. Lindsey was pushing him, and I constantly had to tell her, "not too high".


He looks so much like baby Jason in this picture.













This is Lindsey in the Hat and Scarf I loom knitted for her. Here's Westley in his hat (he wouldn't leave his scarf on long enough for a picture. The hat came off soon after this was taken) Well that's all for now. Like I said, expect a post later this afternoon
