FRUSTRATION!

Okay, so the camera has been out for 3 weeks and I picked it up last night. The thing is still broken and they want to send it out again. Seriously- this is ridiculous!! Anyway, Riley is now 6! I can't belive that we have a 6 year old! He is becoming quite the reader and really seems to enjoy it. Carter is growing so quickly and is quick to attempt to read like his brother does. He really surprises me at all the letters he knows! Miss Morgan is teething. Let me tell you that little girl is in good spirits but goes through a couple outfits a day because her mouth is dripping. I know, not a visual you wanted but I have no pictures! She is slowly getting in some hair and she adores her brothers.(they are AMAZING with her) On top of all of this Riley now has to share his birthday with a new arrival. Amanda and Drew (my cousins) had their first son, Braylon Paul, on Riley's b-day, March 26th. Welcome to the world little guy! It is so cool to have such a close family. Braylon is the 5th baby born since September in our family. We are waiting for Marcie and Josh's little one (please pray that the adoption goes quickly) and all of us that are married, except Mikey and Karri, will have a baby within the past year. Talk abaout baby central!
Easter went well. We got stuck in Grand Rapids an extra night due to snow. Not just a little snow either, almost a foot of snow. I think it's March, but I'm not sure. Thank you to Kim and David form letting us crash at your house and for a wonderful day of food, fun and the wonderful Easter Pinata. It was fun.
I will try and post again soon. We'll be in Battle Creek all next week for Riley's spring break.

Update

Okay, so I have no camera-still. It should be here soon, I hope. This weekend is Riley's 6th birthday party with his friends. His actual birthday is March 26th which happens to fall right between Easter and spring break. He has invited some of his friends from school and a couple of kids from the neighborhood. I think we will have 12-13 here + our kids! Luckily my sister, Marcie, will be here to take care of Morgan and my mom has graciously volunteered to help keep the other kiddos busy! Morgan had her 6 month check up today and she is a healthy 17lbs 1oz (75%), 27" (90%) and has a big head! She is growing wonderfully and is so happy. Her brothers are AMAZING with her and love her to pieces. I seriously have the best kids! Also the Dr told me to start trying soy and eventually dairy with her-YEAH!!! For those of you that don't know, Morgan has had a milk protein intolerance which has greatly influenced her and my diet. That means no dairy at all. So, to have even a little dairy will be wonderful! Well mommy duties call but I will hopefully have the camera back soon and new photos of Riley's party.
