Zachery Update

Zachery is now 5 weeks old, Time has gone by slow but sooo fast at the same time. He has changed so much. He is getting bigger and loosing his hair up top, looking like a little bald man. He is starting to coo a little and smile. He loves his big brother and RJ gets excited when he is able to clam Zach down and him smile.

The last week Zachery seems to have found more comfort in a bottle, which has made me very sad. Every evening he goes into a crying fit and the only thing to calm him down is a bottle. He will drink 2 oz. of formula and then be content again. Even thought I am sad that the bottle is what he wants, I am glad he is still nursery throughout the day. I can handle a break and the evening is the best time for that break. I just hope he won't completely become a bottle baby anytime soon.

Bear World

We took out annual trip to Bear World for out free discount passes. So anyone who wants to visit, we have a discount pass for ya. Anyway this post is pretty much full of pictures of bears. It was a cold windy day, but we all enjoyed it.

Here is the baby cub they had out. The kids got to pet him. He was so cute!

Good Bye Sally

A couple of weeks ago we listed Sally on Freecycle and a family called us about her. They asked to do a trial run for a couple of days. We knew she wouldn't be coming back and had the kids say goodbye. The family picked her up for the trial run and when they asked me how well she does sleeping on beds, I knew she was going to a good family. We have never let Sally sleep on the bed. They called us a few days later and said they were going to keep her. I asked how she did on the bed and they said she was a bed hog, kept pushing them out of bed. Sounds like her.

We have felt a little guilty about giving her away. She was a very good dog but the timing for our family just wasn't right. She really needed more attention and love. It sounds like she is in a better home where she can get what she needs, so that is comforting. The kids do miss her. We promised RJ a kitty once Zachery is a little bit bigger.

Birth Announcement

So here is Zachery's birth announcement. I have plans on printing a few and sending them to family and friends that I don't interact with online. So to those who are on blogs and facebook, you get the digital version (I'm cheap). But yes, you grandparents, I will make sure to send you a printed copy. Anyway, things are going well here. I just survived my first four days as a widow with THREE kids. Jared was in TN these past few days. He is actually still gone. He was supposed to get in Idaho Falls tonight, but he missed his flight. Him and a coworker are now driving up from Utah and should hopefully get in around 2:30am. I'm having a hard time going to sleep, and I know I should since Zachery is sleeping. Oh well. I am rambling now. So I think I'll just get off the computer and try to get some sleep. I'll try to upload some more pictures this weekend.
