They started our floors on a Saturday morning, were done on Monday, and we had to be out of the house the rest of the week. Luckily my sister in law and brother in law have plenty of space, and we were able to stay with them. Bonus, they live in our neighborhood.<br />
<br />
To the good stuff. When we decided to do the kitchen we knew we were going to do the floors in the living room as well, it just made sense. After thinking it over we decided to go ahead and do all of the downstairs except the boys rooms. We also did the steps leading up to the bonus room. BEST DECISION EVER. Now, in hindsight we should have just went ahead and did the boys room as well. We will end up doing that and the bonus room eventually. We also knew we wanted to go will unfinished rather than pre-finished hardwood. Also, BEST DECISION EVER.<br />
<br />
The downside to all new hardwood floors was the fact that not only did we have the kitchen to deal with, we had to move all the furniture out in the rooms that were being redone. We got it done, by that I mean Luke got it done, and lived to tell about it.<br />
<br />
After the first day we were so excited to take a look at what they looked like.<br />

As if I could not love them more, they were sanded. In that moment I said to Luke "Lets not do anything but put a poly on them." He was not on board with that plan. They were so beautiful I couldn't imagine changing them. What followed may have been the longest stain decision making process in the history of our floor guys career. I am telling you all I hee hawed over this forever. I had said from the get go that I wanted lighter colored floors. We do not have a huge house, and the whole reason for the renovation was because the kitchen was way too small. The last thing I wanted was to make it seem smaller. Like, dark hardwood floors. Luke on the other hand would have gone with the darkest shade. Juan put several options on the floor for us to choose from. </div>

I originally thought I was going to love weathered oak which is the middle on the top. Once they were on the floors I hated it. That was immediately out, along with driftwood(top row, far right.) We narrowed it down to provincial (bottom left) and special walnut (top right,) and we were at a stalemate. We decided to mix the two, which is the color on the bottom right. I had all my neighbors come over, and the kids walked all over it. In the end we ended up choosing special walnut. I seriously could not be happier with them. They are the exact shade I had envisioned. They ended up looking a tad darker once than I thought they would, so it was a good compromise for us. Without further ado....</div>

I am so happy to be back in our house, and just minimal madness. It already feels like a completely different house. Picking stain was by far the hardest decision I have had to make. Now if someone would just come pick out my cabinet hardware for me that would be great. I am so over decision making. Our cabinets FINALLY go in this weekend, and I cannot wait to update you all on that!</div>

I told Luke the other day, I feel like we have hit rock bottom and it can only go up from here. It has been bad enough living without a kitchen, but things were kicked up a notch when we removed all the carpet throughout the downstairs to prepare for hardwood floors. We have been living on sub floors, and sitting in camping chairs.

I fretted for approx a week over what to paint it. Originally I had in my head I wanted to paint it a really dark/almost black grey. It would be super practical since its the door coming in from the garage where we mainly enter and exit. Plus, the rest of the kitchen will be white, so I thought it would add some contrast. I got a sample of Iron Ore by Sherwin Williams</div>

I could have sworn I was just rocking by sweet boy with man hands.<br />

We woke up Saturday morning, and were so excited! We had big plans! Sullivan is obsessed with horses and the show Spirit. He has been saying for a while now he wants a Spirit birthday party. We ended up deciding against a big party this year, we have enough chaos with the renovation going on. I got the bright idea we would go horseback riding instead. I googled and found a place just 5 minutes from our house (who knew.) I made reservations for the 4 of us to go Saturday afternoon, because Hudson had a baseball game that morning. I am not sure why it didn't seem alarming to me when they told me Hudson would be on a horse by himself, but I didn't think much of it.<br />
<br />
I was really excited about this little family adventure, and the boys were pumped. While we waited the boys petted the horses.<br />

I got on my horse next, and panic set in. I wanted no part of it. There was nothing about it that felt comfortable to me. I even said to the girl "I don't feel comfortable, I don't want to do this." Instead of trusting my instincts, I let a girl who couldn't have been over 13 with zero life experience convince me it would be fine. Immediately followed by "This is midnight. She is feisty, temperamental, and sensitive." Great. Just great.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She lined us up and told us to wait until our guide came to take us on our ride. I took my phone out to snap a picture.</div>

That is where my pictures ended, once we got started there was no way in hell I was letting go of my reins.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After waiting about 10 minutes our guide (again, couldn't have been over 13) trotted up, and said she it was time to go. She told us that Luke's horse liked being the lead horse, and she also didn't like walking in mud. IT HAS BEEN RAINING FOR 40 DAYS AND 40 NIGHTS. Freida decided she would avoid the mud by taking us every route besides the trail. I am still picking crap out of my hair from being in trees. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
While I am freaking out, Hudson is riding his horse like he stole it. He is grabbing trees, standing up in his saddle, and I am about to have a stroke. If I said "DON'T LET GO OF THE REINS" once, I said it a hundred times. I was the biggest helicopter mom ever, and I didn't even recognize myself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Freida, the boss up front had us going along the side of the trail, over rocks, in trees, and every other way to keep her pretty little feet out of the mud. I kept telling Luke his decisions were affecting the entire group, and to get control of Freida. To which he replied "I'm just letting her do her thing." </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At one point we were along a barbed wire fence, and I was certain I was going to be bleeding under my pants from rubbing up against it. At that point I WAS DONE. Remember earlier when I talked about the Chris Tomlin concert, and the Holy Spirit? Well, that went out the window.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Y'all, I LOST MY RELIGION.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
If I had been able to get off of that horse I would have walked back to the barn. I asked the guide "when is this going to be over?" She just looked at me like I was crazy, Luke was staring daggers into me, and I could care less. I had no qualms about how these people felt about me. I knew with certainty I would NEVER be seeing them again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am not even going to get into the group that was riding with us, who were no older than our guide, dressed to the nines, and thought it would be a good idea to face time their friends to share in the experience. I wanted to scream "DON"T LET GO OF THE REINS" I am sure their mother would have appreciated it. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Obviously we made it back to the barn, and I lived to tell about it. I got off that horse, made a beeline for the truck, and never looked back. Luke could not understand why I was freaking out, and hated it so much. To which I reminded him, he was on Freida, THE LEAD HORSE. He was not behind his entire family watching the whole thing unfold. I kept thinking of how I would never forgive myself if something happened to one of them on this little excursion I planned. Let me remind you real quick what we did for his birthday last year.....</div>

Now, in hindsight I probably did overreact just a tad. However, in the moment, my crazy was totally valid. I was terrified, and projecting my fears on everyone else. I cannot imagine why, but Luke and the boys loved it. Sully had a great experience. so that is all that matters. </div>

<br />
Sullivan's birthday is March 31st, so it always falls around Easter. I always make the boys birthday pancakes the day of their birthday with their age. The whole "not having a kitchen thing" put a damper on that tradition. Since the kids were out of school for Good Friday we decided to take them to Pfunky Griddle for pancakes.<br />
<br />

It was a rough start when our food got there, and everyone had huge spatulas trying to flip pancakes. By the end I could have totally been a cook at waffle house. The food was just eh, but the kids had a great time, so that was all that mattered. If there had been a suggestion box I would have suggested they serve bottomless mimosas for the moms fielding spatulas while trying to prevent third degree burns. </div>

Friday night we had tickets to the Chis Tomlin concert for the second year in a row. A big group from church went last year, and we decided this would be our Good Friday tradition as long as he did it. It is basically the most amazing worship experience of your life. There is something about being in a room with thousands of Christians from all different walks of life and denominations, it is a powerful thing. It is impossible not to feel the Holy Spirit. It is the perfect way to spend Good Friday! If you live in Nashville I highly recommend you get tickets next year.</div>

<br />
It kicked off last Thursday night with my women's groups annual Seder Meal. You guys, this may be my favorite thing we do all year. We started doing this about 4 years ago. For the first few years we actually had a Messianic Jew come perform the Seder. She was so amazing and full of information. She really opened our eyes more to the Jewish religion, and explained the Seder Meal beautifully. For the past couple of years it has not worked out for her to come, so we have done it on our own. There is nothing that can prepare you for Easter better than celebrating the Passover. I will be honest. Before we started doing this I had no clue what the Passover was. I knew what it was, just an abbreviated version. I had no idea all of the parallels between the old and new testaments. It really is something everyone should experience. We usually try to have Greek food for the meal portion of the Seder. We arrived to Michelle's to a beautifully set table.<br />

We learned our lesson after the first year. We had no idea what we were getting into. Rita gave us a list of items to bring for the Seder Meal ,and one of them was Kosher Wine. We had no idea we would be drinking 4 glasses of wine throughout the meal. We also did't realize that you go through most of the Seder before you are instructed to eat. I am sure you can imagine what the combination of no food and wine did to us that first year. Since, we have started having appetizers before the meal begins so we are not ravenous by the time we get to eat. </div>

That is about where the pictures end. I really try to be present in the experience because it really is powerful. Along with being serious we also have so much fun. We were talking about the last supper and how we imagine Jesus and his disciples probably had fun around the table. This is something that is just another reminder of all the suffering and sacrifice that was made for us. If you have a small group I would highly recommend doing this! </div>

Not long after we gutted the kitchen I decided I wanted to book a hotel for the night of my birthday celebration, and I am so glad I did! It was nice to be away from the chaos for a night.<br />
<br />
I started researching hotels and came across The Thompson in the Gulch. It happened to have a restaurant I have been wanting to in the hotel, as well as a rooftop bar....SOLD. We had a small group dinner, and then we met everyone up LA Jackson afterward. If you are in Nashville you must try Marsh House and LA Jackson. Dinner was amazing and the views from the top of the Thompson are awesome. Luke and I went down a little early to check into our room and get ready before dinner. Our room wasn't ready yet, so we went to the rooftop for a drink.<br />

It is already so much more open! Luke has been working hard, and there has been progress but nothing too fun. Just plumbing and electrical. I will be sure to document when there are some fun updates. </div>

<br />
Remember that time I said I would never renovate another house??????<br />
<br />
Insert eye rolling emoji......<br />
<br />
What better way to get back into the swing of things than a renovation post. Everyone loves those, right?<br />
<br />
Back Story:<br />
<br />
When we bought our house I knew the current kitchen would not work long term. In fact, a lot of people close to me were shocked we bought a house with such a small kitchen. I love to cook and spend 75% of my time in the kitchen. We finally had enough of bumping into each other, and decided to bite the bullet and do the renovation. Here was our old layout. Seriously the worst design ever....<br />

Looking down the hall from the main part of the kitchen. The opening to the right is our laundry room. We moved our laundry to the garage, and taking those walls out. The pantry is the door to the left. That is coming out too.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">MY BLOG GOT A NEW LOOK!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I mean, it's not earth shattering news. I have been talking about doing this FOREVER and I cannot tell you how great it feels to finally have a fresh new look/name. It was finally time to let go of the name I had from when I started blogging....to post about wedding planning....almost 8 YEARS ago. How is that even possible? So much has happened between now and then. Like #children. I feel like I have been doing them a disservice all these years. I also started a floral business with my sister. Back to the new name. I wanted a name that encompassed my family, and our floral business. I had big ambitions of doing separate blogs for the two, but lets me honest, I can barely keep up with this one. I realized it was best not to try to be an overachiever. I love blogging, and I am so excited to really get back into it. For real this time.....</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Stay tuned for frequent life updates, and hopefully posts about weddings we do sprinkled in. Hopefully I still have some followers and can gain a few more.</div>

Anyone who knows Hudson is aware of his "cop" obsession. Naturally, we had a police themed birthday party on Sunday. I wanted to keep things simple for the party, so we ordered pizzas, made salad, and bought cupcakes from Publix. Also, you cannot have a police party without donuts!<br />

LIFE MADE! I called the Police station a few days before the party and explained that I had a cop obsessed little boy, and asked if they could have someone stop by the party. They were so nice, and more than willing to come by as long as they were not super busy. The officer that came out could not have been better with the kids, and even let Hudson sit in the car! In a time when our law enforcement does not get enough respect it was so awesome to see a group of kids in awe of this police officer. I cannot thank the Mt Juliet Police Dept. enough for making Hudson's day! He even got a mention on their twitter page :)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are still a picky eater, and barely eat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
YOU LOVE TO TALK. Like, non stop. You ask approx 234135 questions a day. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are too honest for your own good. Your teacher confirmed this at our meeting last week. We never have to wonder what is going on with you. If you get in trouble at school, you tell us before we even have the chance to ask. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are so social. You come home with a full lunchbox, and I am certain it is because you spent your entire lunch socializing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You remember everything. Things I don't even remember.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You LOVE Kindergarten. #socializing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are doing so well in baseball this year. We are finally in a more competitive league, and it has been so fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Being outside with your friends is your favorite. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You have the most tender heart. </div>

Hudson,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are such a special little boy, and we are so proud of you. My prayer is that you will always be kind to others, and that people will see Jesus through you. Always remember who you are, and dream big! Happy Birthday!</div>

As I mentioned before, this hit me like a ton of bricks. I am not one to get super sentimental about milestones and my kids growing up. I always try to live in the moment and relish in this stage in our lives as much as possible. I STRUGGLED with this chapter in life. I felt like his whole life flashed before my eyes. I tried to be really diligent with soaking up every single second leading up to school, and I really felt like we did. We had a summer jam packed with all sorts of fun stuff I will blog about later. <br />
<br />
<br />
I really wanted to make a big deal of starting school, and start some traditions. We let Hudson pick a restaurant he wanted to eat at the night before school started, and he chose O Charley's. This is still a mystery to me. If you ask him any given day where he wants to eat, he will hands down say mexican. Not sure what got into him that day, but O Charley's it was. We had dinner and came home to get ready for the big day. I read them a book and laid in bed with them and cried like a baby. I felt like I was sending my baby into the great big ocean the next day......<br />
<br />
There were so many things going through my mind when I went to bed that night. Have we done everything we could to prepare him for this? Will he be kind to everyone he meets? Will he behave? Will his teacher like him? Is getting him up in the mornings going to be an absolute nightmare?<br />
<br />
<br />
I had been so worried about out new morning routine. My mom comes to our house to keep the boys, and they are used to waking up whenever they want and being able to lay around for a while. Hudson has always been a beast to wake up in the mornings for preschool, and it stressed me out for kinder. I I am happy to report things have not been as bad as I expected. We start the wake up process in plenty of time for him to ease out of bed, and get nice and awake before its time to leave. <br />
<br />
We woke up bright and early for the first day of school, and he was so excited. I wanted to make him a special breakfast, so pancakes it was!<br />

We are so incredibly blessed with the best neighbors who have happen to become some of our best friends. There were four of them starting kinder together which made this so much easier for all of them. Out of all of them, Hudson and our next door neighbor were the only two in the same class. </div>

I think I had cried all my tears the week leading up to school, so I was actually okay the day of. I had a sense of calm as we left the school. I knew that we had done all we could to prepare him, and just prayed he would be okay. My constant prayer for my kids is that people will see Jesus through them. I obviously want them to be smart and never struggle, but for me the most important thing is that they are kind to others. To always befriend the kids who are playing alone. Be respectful of adults. Always do the right thing, and know they can tell us anything. </div>

I will not even do the whole "remember me" line, because I have done it so many times before. I have wanted to get back into blogging for a while #butlife<br />
<br />
Hudson started kinder this year and it hit me like a ton of bricks. It was like his whole life leading up to it flashed before my eyes, and I realized I wanted to make sure to document everything. I love looking back at old blog posts, and I want to continue to do that. I want to remember every little thing about this stage in our lives. I know I will blink and it will be gone. Also, I do not have the best memory. Sully says the cutest/funniest things these days, and I want to remember everything. I don't post a TON on social media, so this is the next best option. My blog is getting a new look, and I was going to wait until then to start blogging again. I realized there will always be some sort of "excuse" not to blog, and there is no time like the present. I have been trying to figure out where to pick up from where I left off. I decided I would start at the beginning of this year, and hit the high points. I will be doing a recap of events in the next few weeks. Most of it I am sure I have posted pictures of at some point #butdetails<br />
<br />
Knowing myself there is a good chance this will be in all sorts of random order. I want to start with things that are the most recent and fresh in my memory. However, I am sure there will be some random stuff thrown in. Some posts may just be a picture dump :)<br />
<br />
Southern Belles and Blooms is another topic I would like to post more about. Our little business has taken on a life of its own, and it deserves to be highlighted as well. <br />
<br />
With all that being said, I am so excited to be back in the blogging world! Stay tuned......Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243879977262486477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345498698337140202.post-15521922316649562422016-03-31T06:55:00.000-07:002016-04-07T13:14:32.676-07:00Sullivan is 2!My sweet sweet Sullivan, you are two years old today! I have not done the best job of posting your milestones, but I did not want to miss your second birthday. You are such a big boy now, and change more and more everyday. <br />

You are my gentle giant. The last time we went to the dr you were around 30 lbs. I am not sure about height. You are in 3T clothes, and tower over most of the kids your age. <br />
<br />
<br />
You are my sweet sensitive child. You are such a lover, and will cuddle non stop. You also have a feisty streak. If someone makes you mad you have no problem letting them know. It is amazing to me how different you are from your brother. By this age he was into so so much, and getting spankings on the daily. All we have to do is raise our voice to you, and you melt into a puddle of tears.<br />
<br />
With that being said, you are a climber.....<br />

I never know where I am going to find you. You also love water. You will play in it forever, and most afternoons I just let you so that I can get things done around the house. <br />
<br />
You are my sleeper. PRAISE THE LORD. We all know our struggles with getting your brother to sleep, so I am thankful you chose a different path. You were sick a few weeks ago, and I tried getting you to sleep with me, and you were not having it. You love your bed. You go to sleep around 7 and wake up between 7:30 and 8:00. <br />
<br />
You are also my eater. You will eat pretty much anything and LOVE sweets. You started refusing to eat in your high chair around 18 months, and have been sitting at the table like a big boy ever since.<br />

You LOVE sports. I can see such a difference with you and your brother when it comes to this. You will play with a ball, bat, and tee forever. You can also dribble a basketball better than him. He is way too busy to be bothered with it. I can already tell you are going to be a good little athlete. You love being outside, and playing in the dirt. </div>

You are such a talker. We now see how your brother had a speech delay. You are leaps and bounds above where he was at this age. You will pretty much repeat anything we say, and have started putting words together. You are shy, and tend to get quiet in front of strangers. Total opposite of your brother.....</div>

For some reason this year has been so different from years past. I did my usual decking the halls the weekend before Thanksgiving. With my house all decorated I was really feeling the Christmas Spirit, and then things sort of went off track from there.<br />
<br />
I found myself making a list yesterday of a dozen holiday activities I want to do before Christmas that we have normally finished way before now. I HAVE NOT EVEN WATCHED THE HOLIDAY!<br />
<br />
I should have known on the second day of Advent when I found Hudson's Advent calendar that the holidays were going to be off this year......<br />

I have been in no mood to shop, and probably have over half of my shopping to get done. I have not wrapped one present. One of my trees has a total of 5 ornaments on it, and I sent my Christmas cards out last week with no return address, and American Flag stamps. Good thing they were so cute...thanks <a href="https://www.leoandlamb.com/">Leigh</a>! </div>

I have no idea what has gotten into me this year, this is so uncharacteristic of me. I feel like some of it may be the weather. I know people are loving the 70 degree temps in December, but its hard to get in the mood to drink hot chocolate and watch Christmas movies when the AC is running. If we could get just a little bit of chill in the air that would be nice. </div>

Speaking of Christmas movies...if I have to watch Polar Express one more time I am going to lose it. WHY do kids love that movie so much? I have tried to force all of my favorite holiday classics on my kids, and they are just not getting the memo. </div>

So it seems even my kids are feeling the scrooge effect. I am determined to turn this holiday season around, and fully enjoy what is left of it. Hudson has been into the birth of baby Jesus and the story behind it, and that is the most important thing about this season. I am helping with Room in the Inn tonight for our church and I know without a doubt that will bring things full circle for me. We are so incredibly blessed, and I would never want anyone to think I am being ungrateful. I know how lucky we are, and this stuff is trivial, I am just being honest. This time of the year is all about giving back, and I intend to do that as much as possible. </div>

I just feel happy to have survived another year. However, 4 has hit me hard. I think it is because there is such a difference between three and four. All of the sudden he seems like such a grown up. Either way, this mama had a hard time dealing with this birthday.<br />

Hudson, </div>
<div>
You are four! Goodness time flies. I remember nights when I would just pray that you would sleep more than 2 hours. Now, you only wake up in the middle of the night to find your way to our room. Then you beat the crap out of me for the few remaining hours of sleep I have left. I often find myself on the couch by the morning. Sometimes I feel like you are literally trying to climb me in your sleep. You are still a night owl. I would say within the past month we have really gotten better with getting you to sleep, it only took 4 years. We read you a few books and you are out.....until the late night shenanigans begin. For the hell you put us through at night, you make up for by sleeping in. Some mornings you will sleep until 9. You are officially out of pull ups at night. You can't drink after dinner, and you have to potty before bed, but by God we got a pay raise in the diaper department. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Speaking of your man parts, you love them. You have your hands on it all the time. I am constantly asking if you have to potty. I am assuming this is a phase, and you will grow out of it, and actually act like you have been taught decency. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You are still as mischievous as ever, and always up to no good. Now you have a partner in crime. It is really interesting how much Sully can get into at only 18 months old. I am certain you have nothing to do with it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You and Maddie are still two peas on a pod. The conversations you all have crack us up. She is setting some lucky lady up for the future. She bosses you non stop, and you do what she says. Every woman's dream. That lady will have to fight Maddie off because she thinks you all are getting married. She told her mom the other day that her name is Maddie Graves Kessler. I snapped this picture the other day, and told Ashley that we are going to have to teach you all about "kissing cousins" soon.</div>

You started school in the fall. You are in Ms. Billie's pre k 4 class. You know how to spell your name, say your address, and phone number, but you cannot write to save your life. We have really been working on this. You have never been one to sit down and color or draw, so you barely even knew how to hold a pencil when school started. </div>

We went back and forth but decided to try soccer again this fall. You were not very interested in the spring, but we gave it another go. I am so glad we did. It is like night and day from the spring. You are being a rock star and scoring goals left and right. You are on the same team and Ethan, which is so much fun!</div>

You are absolutely hilarious, and are constantly cracking us up. You do not meet a stranger, and have no problem asking 9000 questions about someones life. You love church, and for all the times that I have failed as a parent it makes my heard swell when you talk about Jesus. You do not forget anything. Even things we wish you would forget, or at least not make it public knowledge. You have the biggest heart, and genuinely care about other peoples feelings. You love to argue, and lord help me you are just like me. </div>

You are the light of our lives, and constantly keep us on our toes. I would not have it any other way. For all of the times you make us crazy, you make us melt twice as much. I pray that will continue to grow into a kind, loving, selfless, strong willed little boy. We love you more than words!</div>

Once we dropped them off I found myself getting so emotional. Last year they were scared and emotional. This year they walked right in, sat down at the table, and told me bye. They are getting so big and independent. They have such a unique and special bond, and are so lucky to have each other. I know the older they get they will cherish their relationship more and more.<br />

I say this every month, but I cannot believe you are ONE! Where did time go? You are so sweet, and so much fun these days I just want time to stand still. I have been in such denial that I neglected to make your one year well check, so I do not have any stats on you. BIG is all I can say sweet boy. We had a "construction" themed birthday party for you, and you are one loved little boy. In this past year you have taught us that there is room in our hearts to love another child just as much as we do your brother. We have also learned the same parents can have two totally different children. We love your brother more than words, but I think God knew we needed a little easier baby the second time around. You are completely difference than him in every way. We love you both just the same. I am sure you two will get into plenty of trouble growing up, but I have a feeling you will be the voice of reason. Here is what is going on with you these days.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Eating: </b>You are pretty much on all table food now. We still give you the pouches when we are on the go, and you love them. You are starting to get a little more picky, You would eat anything we put in front of you, and now you are turning your nose up at stuff. You never turn down a waffle. You also love fruit. We transitioned you to milk about a month ago, and you did so well with it. You still take a bottle to sleep, but we are working on weaning you off of it. You do well with sippy cups too.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Sleeping: </b>You were getting up at least once at night, but for the past two weeks you have slept through the night. Hopefully we are onto something, and you will keep it up. I think it has something to do with all the playing outside. You usually go down between 7-8, and wake up around 8. Going into your room after you wake up is still my favorite thing. You are the happiest baby all the time. You will lay in your bad and play for at least 30 minutes before we go in to get you. You take one long nap during the day, and sometimes a short one in the afternoon.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Other:</b> You are walking! It is still really wobbly and not pretty, but you just decided you wanted to walk and took off. You walk sideways, and seem to do better if you have something in your hand. You can bend down, and pick things up. You finally had another tooth come through on the top, and I think I saw the one next to it yesterday. You love to play with balls. You love to kick your brothers soccer ball all over the house. You love to play "Patty Cake." You "talk" all the time. You say "mama" "dada" "nana, and "baba." That is all we can make sense of right now. You know how to shake your head "no" when you don't want/like something. You are still enamored with your brother, and he thinks you are a rag doll. He wants to "wrestle" you all the time. Thank goodness you are a tank. I have always told Hudson that the day would come when you could take him, and I reminded him of that when he came to me screaming you hit him the other day. He is quickly learning what payback means. You LOVE taking a bath. <br />
You also love playing outside<br />

really go for your cake. We tried again with cupcakes on your actual birthday<br />

Sullivan,<br />
You are the sweetest little boy, and we are so thankful that God chose us to be your parents. You have so many people that love you, and you are still our "baby." I hope you stay just as sweet as you are, and we can savor every moment of you being young. You have brought so much joy in this past year, and taught us so much about ourselves. I pray that you will grow up to be a kind, caring, Christian boy! We love you more than words!Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243879977262486477noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345498698337140202.post-56142311095683927182015-03-11T11:59:00.000-07:002015-03-11T12:04:29.401-07:00His Little FeetThis past weekend we had the blessing of hosting two kids and their chaperone from His Little Feet choir. <br />
<br />
Here is a description of His Little Feet from their <a href="http://www.hislittlefeet.org/Home.html">website</a>:<br />
<br />
" His Little Feet's Children's Choir travels the United States, being the voice for orphaned and vulnerable children worldwide. The purpose of the choir is to bring awareness to the millions of children around the world in need of care, as well as facilitate opportunities for Americans to respond to the needs of children through giving, sponsoring, going, and adopting."<br />
<br />
This is the second year the choir has been to our church, and I am in awe of these children each time I see them perform. Each of the children have lost either one, or both of their parents. You would never know any of these kids have had a difficult life by their demeanor. They are so full of life, and you can see the work that God is doing through them. <br />
<br />
We had Duhtea, Mawitea, and Uncle Josh staying with us. Both of the boys are 11, and they are from India. I picked them up from church Friday afternoon, and we went home to a eager little boy ready to meet his "new buddies." We had dinner together, and then the boys went upstairs to burn off some energy since they had drove in from Knoxville. We sat around the table talking to Josh about his life, and the program. He is such an amazing human being, and His Little Feet is so lucky to have him on their team. He is following God's calling and truly changing lives along with way......how many of us can say that? He was so good with all of the kids all weekend, and really has gift for what he does. After the boys played for a while, then it was time to go to bed since we had a big day planned Saturday. We woke up bright and early to have breakfast. Everyone got ready, and we headed to the Adventure Science Museum. We have never been so we didn't know what to expect, but it was pretty awesome. The boys had a blast. <br />

We were so impressed with how we put a handful of supplies on the table, and Duhtea made a pretty impressive airplane, and Mawitea made a sling shot. Josh later told us that in India they make their own toys. </div>

After playing for a few hours we headed home to have lunch. Josh runs the sound for the choir so he and Luke went to the church for a bit and I stayed home with all of the boys. The weather was gorgeous here, so we took the opportunity to play outside for a while. The boys loved Hudson's power wheel.</div>

Saturday night we had a family dinner, and just relaxed the rest of the night because the big show was bright and early Sunday morning. I dropped the boys and Josh off at church at 7am to get ready for the performance. They performed at our 8:30 and 11:00 services. For the second year in a row I was moved to tears when they performed. This year I felt like I had two of my own children performing. Along with a concert they show a short video that forces you to think about what is going on in the world. Did you know there are 153 million orphans worldwide? We often get so caught up in what is going on in our own bubble that we don't stop and think about the big picture. I am just as guilty of this as the next person. </div>

When we signed up to be a host family for the weekend I thought to myself "I wonder why they don't stay in hotels." I now know why. The whole purpose of His Little Feet is to bring awareness to adoption. Having these kids in your home, and spending all weekend with them makes you open your eyes. Not only that, it was such an amazing experience getting to know theses kids, and Josh. In just two short days we learned so much about ourselves, our faith, and what we want for our family. I know for us HLF served their purpose. Our lives are forever changed, we will no longer live in the dark, and make efforts to help with this huge problem going on in our world. I am not exactly sure what that means for us, but we started by sponsoring another Compassion child. I will do another blog post on Compassion. </div>

I am so grateful we were able to have this experience, and we will continue to host for years to come. I am so thankful to Christa and Mike for founding His Little Feet. I can't even imagine the leap of faith it took, but I am so thankful they did. Duhtea, Mawitea, and the entire HLF choir will forever be imprinted on our hearts. I hope and pray that whatever their future holds it is bright, and full of love. Every child deserves that. </div>

I actually love the flow of every season, and I am so thankful for one to be over, and move on to the next. That is where I am. Fortunately we actually got a decent amount of snow/ice this year! Does anyone else get annoyed with northerners making fun of us for overreacting during the snow? Yes. we do. However, I don't want to live in a place where snow is the norm. I love that snow is a "holiday" in the south. We can stay home from school and work. Love on our kids, and act like kids ourselves playing in the snow. Okay, rant over. Now onto loads of pictures I snapped during the last few weeks. Lets be honest, Hudson may be a teenager before we get this much snow again.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Sullivan,<br />
You are on the move my friend! You went from not moving at all to crawling, pulling up, laying to sitting, and everything in between. It is so funny to watch you crawl. Your brother went straight to walking, so I never got to see him crawling around everywhere. We are in full on baby proof mode because nothing is safe.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Eating: </b>You are still such a great eater. You have moved from jars of food to the pouches. You love to hold them yourself. We have also entered the world of table food. I will give you pretty much anything we are eating for dinner, and you will work the crap out of it with your two teeth. You still take 4 oz of formula every few hours, and love your bottle. I am determined to get you off of it by the time you are one. So far we have not had any luck with sippy cups. You hate all of them.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Sleep: </b>Your sleeping has been ok. You are usually up a couple of times at night, but sometimes you will sleep through the night. You are still cutting some teeth, so I feel like that is part of the problem. I notice if I rub clove oil on your gums you tend to sleep better. I think some of the problem is habit too. Either way, we take you a bottle, and you go right back to sleep. You still love your crib. You are not the type to fall asleep in our arms or pass out anywhere. You like to be in your bed. One of my absolute favorite things is going into your room after naps and in the mornings. You are so sweet and happy. Hudson has been in our bed from the get go, so I never got to experience that special time with him,<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Milestones: </b>As I mentioned above you are all over the place. You still only have two teeth, but I know more are going to come through any day. You are such a mamas boy.You talk and babble all the time! You say "mama" baba" "dada" "nana," and a multitude of other sounds. You love Bella. and she loves you. We have been working on sign language. So far, the only thing we have down is "more." Obviously, since you love to eat. If you do not want something you have no problem shaking your head "no." You are becoming a little more feisty. I need you to calm down with that and stay my sweet sully. Now that you are bigger your brother likes to "play" with your more. By that I mean "wrestle." I have told him from day one that his days are numbered, you are just about to the point where you can take him. I see lots of rough housing in our future. <br />
You look so big standing up<br />

I still have to catch up on our new house....maybe I have just found my new years resolution. Needless to say we have been so busy these last few months. <br />
<br />
<br />
I feel a little ahead of the game since you turn nine months old tomorrow. This is by far my favorite age. It is so fun to watch you learn new things, and the happiness. You smile for days. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Stats: </b>I am not completely sure, but last month you had to go to the Dr for the funk, and you weighed 25 lbs. EVERYONE comments on how big you are. I could just squeeze every inch of your fat little body. Your nick name is "chunky monkey." <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Eating: </b>You LOVE to eat. Anything and Everything. You still have baby food at every meal, and I have started giving you a little of whatever we are eating. You love bread, pasta, tomatoes, mashed potatoes, green beans. Basically anything we have given you. You still love your bottle too. We give you 4 oz every few hours. I have started giving you a sippy cup, and you are not too interested. I think we just need to find the right kind. <br />

<b style="font-size: x-large;">Sleep: </b>Thank goodness your sleep is getting better. We put you down between 7 and 8, depending on when you get fussy. You usually sleep through the night, but some nights you get up once. Sometimes you get up in the morning about 7, other mornings you sleep until 8. You still love sleeping in your bed, and I am so thankful for that. You are actually pretty particular about being in your crib. You like your bed, lights off, and quiet. I tried putting you in bed with us when you were sick, and you were not having it. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Milestones: </b>I feel like we have had so many milestones since my last post. You have started getting on all fours,and doing the rocking thing. You LOVE to stand up, and want to stand on the couch all time. You will try to pull up if you are near something to climb on. You need to stop that, mom is not ready for you to grow up. You have two new teeth, and you look adorable with them. You love to clap. You say "mama" "dada" and "baba." We are working on Patty Cake, and kisses. Right now you just give open mouth slobbery kisses. I'll take it. You are still obsessed with your brother and Bella. You LOVE taking a bath. <br />

Sullivan,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You are the sweetest little boy, and it has been so fun watching you grow. You are getting quite the little personality, and I don't think you will be our laid back little one for much longer. You have a feisty side to you, and I have no idea where that came from :) Your brother has really started to take up more time with you, and you are totally enamored with him. I pray that you two will grow up being so close. I am sure we are in for a lot of fighting, but I know you all will always love each other. We love you so much Sully man, and thank God for choosing us to be your parents. </div>

I cannot believe it. I thought time went fast with Hudson, it is nothing compared to the second child. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Stats: </b>You are a whopping 23.5 lbs, and 30 inches long. That puts you in the 98th % for both height and weight. Big boy. You are in 12-18 month clothes, and outgrowing them quickly. You wear size 5 diapers.<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Eating: </b>You went through a little period where you didn't want to eat as much baby food. You were pretty congested so I think that made you not have much of an appetite. You are back to normal now, and eating baby food three times a day. You also take 4-6 ounces every 2-3 hours. We also started giving you puffs and you love them. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Sleep: </b>Unfortunately things have not gotten better in this department. We always take a bath after dinner, which you absolutely love. I lay you down between 7-8, and you always do well going to sleep. After that you are up anywhere between 2-3 times until wake up for good between 6-7. I thought getting in our new house and having your own room would help, but I guess that is just wishful thinking. We have started a little sleep training. I let you cry for about 30 minutes the last two nights before I couldn't take it anymore. I also worry about you waking your brother when you cry. Lord knows we need to let that bear sleep. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Milestones: </b>Sitting up is the only new development here. You have shown zero and I mean zero interest in moving beyond the sitting position. I am completely ok with that. You stay where you are as long as you want buddy. You love to sit in the floor and play, or in your bouncy seat. You love love love being outside, and never make a peep as long as we are out. You have been riding in Hudson's old car, and love it. You also love Bella. She loves to lick your snot. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Other: </b>You have had quite the funky cold the past month it seems like. I started using essential oils to clear it up, and it has worked wonders. You no longer wake up covered in snot, and have a runny nose all day. You still do not have any teeth. Your brother still calls you "my baby." He rarely refers to you by name. He is still too rough with you. I cannot wait for the day you give it back to him. His days are numbered, and you should have a lot of payback built up. I know you all will be so close growing up ,but I foresee lots of fighting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sullivan,<br />
I will say it again. You are the best baby. You smile ALL time time, and can light up a room with your smile. You have so many people that love you. Your daddy and I love you more than anything! We are so excited to have you with us through the holidays this year!<br />

With craziness of the move (more on that in another post) it just slipped my mind to get costumes. Also, the fact that the only thing Hudson would tell me he wanted to be was "Elsa" left me at a loss. I kept thinking something else would strike his interest, so I put off buying anything. Now that he has ALLL the opinions I wanted to make sure he picked his own costume. I was perfectly fine with him being Elsa, but Luke was not having it. Something clicked TWO DAYS before and he wanted to be a pirate. I have no idea where it came from, but I ran with it before he changed his mind. The girls were Anna and Elsa, so we thought it would be cute for Sully to be Olaf. Even though we failed to take any pictures of them together. Not that any parents effort was worth it since it was sub zero temps, and everyone had to wear jackets. We made it down half a street before I took Sully home, and Hudson stayed with the "big kids." We failed to take any pics, so I will leave you with the few I snapped before we left. <br />

Hopefully next year we will be a little more organized.Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243879977262486477noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6345498698337140202.post-71575733744042186672014-10-01T12:30:00.000-07:002014-10-01T12:30:16.467-07:006 Months-SullivanI completely skipped Sullivan's 5 month update. Our lives have been a little crazy, to say the least. <br />
<br />
Sullivan,<br />
I am still trying to wrap my head about you being half a year old. You are the sweetest baby and I want you to stay that way forever. We are in the midst of toddler tantrums every other minute, and I need you to stay my sweet Sully. Mommy may have a nervous breakdown if you turn into a terror. You are somewhere around 25 lbs, and LONG. Everyone comments on how big of a baby you are, and I have a feeling you are not going to stop growing anytime soon. You are in 9 month clothes, and size 4 diapers....big boy.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Eating: </b>We started you on food about a month ago. Unlike your brother you love ALL the food. Hudson wasn't much on baby food, but you love it. We started with cereal and fruit for breakfast, and have moved through all the fruits and veggies. You are getting it three times a day, and 4 OZ of formula every 2-3 hours. I have a feeling we are never going to have a problem getting you to eat. We still have to practically tie your brother down to get him to eat.<br />

<br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Sleep: </b>It PAINS me that I can no longer brag about your sleeping. You have completely regressed, and I am having nightmares of when your brother was a baby, To your defense, I think the move to Nana and paw paws has screwed you up. You like you quiet space, and you are sharing a room with your brother who likes to watch TV before he goes to sleep. I think teething has something to do with it too. You are up sometimes every hour. Some nights you will sleep from 8-6. I just can't figure out if you are waking up out of hunger or habit. I am really hoping once you have your new room it will be nice and quiet, and it will get better. If not, sleep training is starting ASAP. I NEED you to start sleeping again. My sanity needs it as well. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Milestones: </b>you FINALLY rolled over. It was about two weeks ago. You still don't do it a whole lot, but I know you will be on the move in no time. I am in no rush. You do not have any teeth yet, but I feel like one is going to come through any day. You have all the signs. <br />
<br />
<b style="font-size: x-large;">Other: </b>You still have the sweetest demeanor. You smile ALL the time, and rarely fuss. Unless you are hungry. You took your first ride in the mule, and absolutely loved it.'<br />

We also had a bit of scare with your lip turning blue. I wasn't worried about you not being able to breath because it was just your bottom lip. The only thing we can come up with is you sucked on your lip so hard you gave yourself a hickey. </div>

Thank you so much for being such a sweet baby. You can change any one's day with your big smile. You have so many people wrapped around your finger, especially mommy and daddy. We love you so much, and can't wait to watch you grow!Amberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17243879977262486477noreply@blogger.com0
