We recently had a few special visitors. Grandpa Mark and Mr. Rick came to visit. They had big plans to go shooting and take the boys out, but the snow and wind put a damper on things.

Instead, they stayed home and played games.





Talked and visited.


Helped make Valentine's for our friends.




We had a great visit. We can't wait to do it again!

We have had quite a bit of snow recently. The big boys have really been enjoying playing in it!

We have had a special Valentine's Day. It is Sheldon's last day off so we went to breakfast.



Max and Crocker go to a baby sitter on Tuesday mornings, so we just had 1 little boy with us.



We had a good breakfast and it was fun to get out of the house.



Eli got his Valentine's Day present a few days early and he has really enjoyed playing with it!





We have been celebrating all weekend. The boys have been receiving packages in the mail with fun surprises.



We had a special lunch for the boys when they got home.





After lunch, they ate candy and opened their present.



Max was just a little excited!!!





Eli was getting hungry and I could not feed him fast enough!



After lunch, I was able to get a picture of our 3 love bugs!



While the boys were taking their nap, I got a special delivery from my sweet husband.



After naps, it was time to cook dinner and play Crocker's new game. Sheldon grilled steak, potatoes, and corn on the cob.



The boys were a little excited about playing the game.






My little love bug after dinner.

Max is such a good big brother. He wants to make sure that Eli always has a toy with him.




He tries to make sure Crocker doesn't bother him.



Usually, Eli is just content to look around and watch his big brothers.

Eli is a little over 2 weeks old. He is doing so well and is a complete joy.

He is drinking 4 oz of milk every 3.5-4 hours during the day.
He goes to bed at 7pm and gets up at 7am. He usually gets up 2 times in the night to eat and goes right back to sleep (with minimal fussing). At night he will sleep 4-5 hours before waking to eat.
He is starting to coo and make noises.
He is becoming more alert and noticing the things around him.
He hardly ever cries. He cries when he is hungry or when he needs to use the bathroom.

Eli had his 1st bath in the sink. He has since moved up to baths in the tub. He really enjoyed the warm water and was very content after his bath.

We have been spending a lot of time at home. I haven't been able to drive for 2 weeks, so I am extra thankful that Sheldon was able to take time off work.

We have been playing with a lot of toys and games.




Crocker has been trying to adjust to not being the baby anymore. He is pretty jealous, but is getting better every day.
