I know posts without pictures are kinda lame, but that is the way this one is going to go. Jolee met her Grandma and Grandpa P. this past weekend. The trip didn't exactly go as planned because of airport delays, but they were still able to spend 2 1/2 days with us. We stayed in Denver at a really nice motel...swimming pool, game room, breakfast... It was a bit tiring for me to be away from home, but was a nice vacation for the boys. I ended up pulling/popping something inside by my incision...lets just say that didn't feel good, and still doesn't. I go to the doctor on Friday for my 6 week check.

Brady has been invited to three birthday parties recently...I think we are beginning a new phase with his friends. He is already talking about his 5th birthday and making plans and requests. He sure is growing up! Last night this was part of his prayer..."thank you that we are almost teenagers. Please help me to grow so I can be a kindergartner." He is all about being bigger, faster, stronger. I'm playing some kids Christian music this morning and love that Brady is learning the songs and sings while he plays.

Luke has recently been reverting to his old mischievous ways...I mean really bad. I've found him eating Brady's scar cream, removing his diaper and applying Vaseline and powder himself...to himself and nearly everything around him, opening his closet, removing the clothes from the shelves and climbing up as high as he can get to try to reach the toys at the top (the ones that have been put away for a reason), pulling a stool up to the stove and microwave and pushing buttons, climbing on top of the counter to reach things on top of the fridge....I think I could go on and on. And all this is within the past week. I've got to find new locks and new hiding places. When he is quiet I'll call out, "Luke, what are you doing?" When his response is, "I don't know" then I know I'm in trouble.

Jolee is looking like a newborn now! :) The past few days I've given up pumping in the middle of the night and just nurse her. Its working pretty well. Maybe there will be a day when I can pack up the pump for good! She set a new record today (I guess she must know she is now 6 weeks old). She played on her blanket for nearly 45 minutes! She really loves being held and being on her tummy.
