Our Little Samster

Here are some new pictures of our little guy. We love him so much but our lives have been completely turned upside down. Everyone says that 3 kids is the hardest and after that everything is easy. That is a LIE!!!!!!! This fourth child has put me completely over the top. It doesn't help that he is very fussy and temperamental. He likes things just so and I spend my days trying to keep him happy (or asleep). He loves the stroller and it can always calm him down but since it is so hot outside we spend a lot of time strolling around the garage. We also spend quite a bit of time in the bathroom with the shower water running (the sound soothes him). Luckily, he is a great sleeper (7 to 9 hours at a stretch at night, eats, then sleeps 3 more hours). We call him our "bi-polar Charlie Brown" because he will be laughing like crazy one minute and then instantly start crying. There is no in-between mood. We still love him to death!

Come on, tell me this picture does not look exactly like Charlie Brown!

Everyone: My sister Julie is pregnant with twins and is already on severely strict bedrest (she is only 26 weeks and must go at least 10 more weeks like this), she can't even sit up in bed. I just want to tell her how much I love her and that she can totally do this. She's probably the strongest person I know and Heavenly Father wouldn't entrust these two special boys in her care (and PJ too) if He didn't think she could do it. So anyone reading this, please keep her in your prayers and bless the two little boys that they will be born healthy and strong and not too soon, and bless that poor Julie won't go insane from boredom.
