Hello Fall! :)

Have you missed us???  My apologies!  We have been a little preoccupied with a busy, busy summer and two little ones!  I am not going to try to recap the entire past several months in one post.  However, I will post several pictures to help summarize this summer.

Our most time consuming activity has been feeding Kate.  Her reflux continued to get worse as she got older.  The poor baby has been put through the ringer that has included a barium swallow x-ray, multiple formula changes, medicine changes, and doctors appointments!  Feedings have taken from 1-2 hours for a 6 ounce bottles.  We've wiped up more buckets of formula from our hardwood floors that I ever want to admit.  She is still the sweetest baby through it all!  Her nickname has always been "the bug" or "Katie bug" - but she really needs to be called "Smiley!!"  She smiles even when she is throwing up formula through her nose or in severe pain from the reflux.

Frank has continued to be the best big brother ever!  He started preschool in August.  We were extremely nervous for this transition, but it is been the easiest and most fun!!!  He loves it and we cannot wait to pick him up each day (he only goes 3 days a week) to hear his hilarious and sweet recap of the day!

Our most recent attempt at making feedings easier with Kate, we visited a speech therapist in Valdosta, GA to help us with some specialized oral motor exercises to de-sensitize her mouth.  We are praying this works.

My precious boy :)


This picture just cracks me up.  The look on Kate's face is priceless. This is what Brad calls our "hot mess".

A week in Demopolis :)  Playing in the sprinkler with Poppie

Preparing for Frank's 3rd birthday party! Brad's Dad had the perfect caption for this: "Chivalry is dead!"

Smiley again :)

My sweet boy!  Never a dull moment.

The Bedsole cousins visited!  How many kids can we fit in our shower??

We are now into Superheros!  This is Frank headed to Luke Moon's birthday party!










Happy 27th Birthday to me!


Frankie!

I love this sweet smile!


We attended a wedding shower for my cousin Matthew's beautiful fiance, Amanda!  Funny side note:  mother of bride and groom showed up wearing the same dress - much to their surprise!  Fun day!

Spiderman, headed to church :)

So proud to dress like Daddy!


The night before Frank's first day of Preschool

Frank receiving the infamous first morning of school phone call from Poppie singing "School Days".  Oh, the mornings I had to hear that growing up.  Grey and I still have nightmares of reliving those mornings!

Not one tear!

Love these two!

My sweet girl!
