Thanks,

again it has been way too long

We have been super busy these past couple of months and are ready for some down time. The kids are exdcited about Christmas and Ella is trying to be on her best behavior this week. Guess one week makes up for all the other bad ones. I dont have too much time to post so I have included a few pictures.

these are the days of our lives

Don't have time to blog but here are some picture from some recent days of our lives!

Is it too early for a football helmet?

I can not take this child getting hurt again. Hudson is constantly running and jumping off thing, crawling on top of the kitchen table chairs, and trying to get on top of the table. He loves to run and jump off our couch; and when he gets hurt he cries for 2 secs, doesn't want me to hold him, then gets up and does it again while laughing. I don't think my heart can take it anymore (literally and physically)! Last night, I was tidying up the house and the kids were playing as usual. I walked in to my bedroom to put something away and I hear this horrific scream from the kitchen. I run in there and Hudson is flat on his face screaming by the kitchen table. I pick him up and there is a GOOSE EGG the size of a golf ball on his head (the pictures do no reflect the profile). I freaked!!! I immediately called Brandon and said I am taking Hudson to the ER. He fell and the knot is huge! (Little insight... this kid has a goose egg on his head once a week from all the dare devil moves he loves to do. So I am pretty use to seeing a few small ones.)  This one had me worried. So as I am talking to Brandon, I notice my AMAZING neighbors are home and I thought I would run him over there to see what Marty says. By the time we get to her door, he is laughing with no more tears as if nothing had happened. The knot had grown at this point so Marty was able to see it in full force. She suggested an ice pack and told me about both of her kids getting one that size when they were little. She made me feel much better. We let him stay up a later than bed time to keep an eye on him. You would have never thought he hit his head that hard by the way he was acting. Throughout the night I checked on him 4 times and he did just fine. I'm still not sure what he did to fall but because of the way I found him, I think he crawled up in the kitchen table chair and was trying to reach his cup in another chair and fell. I think he might have hit his head on the other chair first then the wood floor. AHHHHH just thinking about it again gives me chills. Is it too early for a football helmet????

Smiling like nothing happened!!!

I wish I would have shot a profile pic.

Hudson's 18 mo stats

Hudson is 18 months now and growing like a weed!!!!! We had our visit with Dr. Hampton and he is right on track! I am so proud of my little boy and can't believe he is already 18 months. I keep asking him to slow down on becoming a big boy. He's obviously not listening.

18 month stats:

Height:       34 3/4''        97%
Weight:      24lbs 11.5 ozs      35%
Head:        50 cm          95%

Hudson is just like Ella. Long and lean..... with a HUGE HEAD!!! I hope we can find a helmet that will fit!
