Today was Rally Day at church. Here is a picture of The Blessing of The Backpacks after breakfast and before Sunday School. Jane has a Sunday School class now led by Lynn Britt, her swim coach, and Hal and Brenda Hicks. (Hyde is by the window holding Jane)

Wow!
I haven't blogged in FOREVER!!! I am so behind, but my excuse is that we have a LOT going on!
I wanted to note a few things about my day yesterday and today...
1. Walker only woke up 1 time last night!!!! He slept from 8-2 and 2:10-6:10. We are thrilled! Keep it up Walker!
2. Walker is cutting his 2 bottom teeth!! I've questioned his hands being in his mouth and all the drool and today I saw where the teeth will come through and felt the rough patch. After applying Orajel, his hands don't go in his mouth much at all. I am trying to give him teethers but he hasn't figured out how to get them in his mouth but he is getting better.
3. I've been so wrapped up in packing and unpacking I've been very short with Jane and haven't given her enough play time attention. I took both kids to the playground and played with her until Walker had to be picked up. When we got home, Jane came into my room and thanked me for taking her to the playground. I almost started crying! How sweet is that?! It really made me realize how I've been too absorbed in our move and neglected this precious time with her. We played "the monsters are going to get you" on the bed until DaDa came home (Two weeks ago, Jane started calling Hyde DaDa instead of Daddy. She commented that was how a baby says it. Maybe because she has played a lot with Stella and Eleanor recently. Who knows how long that will stick.)

4. Tonight is our first night to spend the night in our new house! Jane went down easily in her new bunk bed and we are sharing Walker's room with Walker. Our bathroom is not finished and they will sand the sheetrock Monday. We didn't want the dust to get all over our bedroom furniture so we are living in the front of the house until next week. Very exciting! We love the new house and look forward to being unpacked and settled. This has been the longest moving process!

Mid August-Mid Move
The boys left for 4 days on a fishing trip in the Chandalier Islands of Louisiana. Bettye Jane and I hung out with the kids in Natchez. We caught a great video of Walker laughing to Peek a Boo.
When Hyde got back, he was exhausted. They stay up every night and have a too much fun! When he got back one of his first duties was to give Walker his bottle while I unpacked boxes in the new house. This is what I saw when I went to check on them...

Walker or Hyde?
Hyde's baby picture:
When Jane saw this picture, she said, "Look at Walker"
The picture of Walker that I used is not the best to use for the comparison, but Walker looks so much like Hyde!! Walker is always making the face that Hyde is making.

Straight Up Posing!
We made it to St. Simons!!! Walker, Jane and I drove to Meridian to meet my parents for breakfast. We followed Dad while Mom drove my car and I sat between the kiddos for the rest of the trip. You can only imagine that we were THRILLED to make it to SSI after the 12 hour car ride (13 if you include the time change)
Jane was pumped to show off her new swimming skills-and a few poses...
Yep, we are in trouble!
And the best part is that she would strike a pose, pause for a few seconds for a picture to be taken, then strike another pose. Think she has grown up in front of the camera?
