His idea of fun...

This little boy is so unpredictable. This was the scene last week when I walked in to get him up for breakfast. He had completely stripped his clothes and diaper. I'm not sure Eli could get his shirt off if it was on fire, but Knox can do anything that he pleases.

He is talking to us all the time, literally non-stop. He has begun to call Eli, E-Wi, rather than the Yi-Yi we have been used to for the last 9-10 months. He is definitely more interested in the baby than Eli. He asks about him daily, usually several times, and even cradles his toys like babies. He really can be a sweet little boy. We love him dearly and are amazed at his ever-emerging personality!

Gold Rush-VBS 2011

This little boy is so sweet in crafts. He works so hard and is SO proud of his work! I have to sneak in and out to catch glimpses of him...he still has a complete meltdown if he sees me. I am sure that will all cease before little brother is born.....

We just wrapped up day 2 of our Vacation Bible School. This year our theme is "Gold Rush: Discovering the Rock of Ages". A parent suggested we have a mining company come to the church and let the kids "mine" for gold. This was so much fun to watch! Eli so much fun digging for treasures. Everyone left with a bag full of beautiful stones!

My Three Sons...

We are excited to now know for sure that we will have a third son in October. I have had so many people comment to me, "My Three Sons", and I never understand this reference. It is a sitcom that aired in the 60's so no wonder it is not familiar to me.
We are so thankful for this sweet little boy and what he will mean to our family. I can't imagine the dynamic changing between Eli & Knox, they love each other so much, but I know this little one will fit right in and we will never remember life without him. I feel so blessed to be called by God to raise three sons, it seems a mighty commission. The boys ask almost everyday if the baby will come out now, and we keep reminding them that the baby will be here very close to when Santa comes. They are both so interested in this pregnancy and have been with us to every ultrasound. Eli proudly announces to everyone new he meets that he will have a new baby this year. The boys have nicknamed him, "Orange"...not sure if that will stick or not...

Day Out with Thomas the Train

Our family had the most wonderful time at Tweetsie Railroad this past weekend. We had long planned to visit Tweetsie on this particular weekend and were so excited to find out that Thomas would be there too! The boys LOVED riding the train and looking at all the sites. They both spend a lot of time playing with our train table and loved seeing Thomas in person. It was so much fun! My Dad and I even took them on the ferris wheel and I can solemnly promise that I will never get on another one. I have now ridden with both the boys and this next little boy will have to find another partner. He won't have any luck talking his Daddy into it either.....
