Last Hurrah

Well, my mom leaves tomorrow.  We have had her here for 5 weeks.  I can't even begin to explain how much she has done for us since she has been here.  It has been such a blessing.  I can't believe how fast the time has gone by (Joel is 4 weeks old today!).  We do get to see her again in about a month before she heads back across the ocean.  We love you Mom and are so thankful for all that you have done.

This last week we have decorated eggs with the boys.
Pepere got here from Africa.  My dad LOVES him a baby :) Most men seem to shy around from newborns and my dad is all about them.  We are so glad to have him here this week.

We think they are smiles that we are starting to get from Joel and not just gas :)  Either way he is cute.  He just stares at your eyes and will follow you when you move.

Cooper just in the past week has stepped up on being helpful and wanting to start doing big boy things for himself.  Hopefully it sticks around when it is jut me and the three boys.

He was helping Pat move flowers (we are in the middle of getting a patio poured in our yard... I will blog that once it is all done) in our yard.

This is how Will entertained the workmen at our back door.  The man kept telling Will to stay in school and keep reading his books so he didn't have to do a dirty job like he was doing.  Our little boys think that job looked pretty neat though.

Nana and Pere and three of their nine grandsons!

We are gong to miss you Mom and Dad, THANK you SOOOOOO much for everything!
