Broke Down...

Okay so I know that I have become a blogging delinquent. We have had so much going on around here and to top it off our camera is not working. Thus the lack of posts. I love having pictures to go along with what I write, but I decided I better post something to let you all know that we're still alive!
We have been battling the March yuck. All the boys except Asher have had runny noses and coughs. Poor Judah got to go to the pediatrician last Sunday afternoon for his first ear infection, so we have had the joy of giving him amoxycillan twice a day. Good thing he likes it pretty well, it just takes forever for him to get it all down. Caleb went to visit the dentist for the first time yesterday and did GREAT! I was quite bummed when I pulled out the camera to capture the moment and realized it was not working. He was so excited about his new toothbrush and dental "string"!
Last night was our first night since Judah was born that we had our room back all to ourselves! Yup, we moved Judah into the crib, Caleb into the toddler bed in the nursery, Nate into Caleb's big boy bed (aka the bottom bunk), and Asher got to stay put in his top bunk! Whew! We are calling this the great room switch as Judah and Caleb are now roommates and Nate and Asher are sharing. Last night was okay. Three out of the four did fantastic with Judah waking up around 4:00 and fussing (at times pretty loudly) for about a half hour or more. Caleb did awesome though and when Blake went in to see if he wanted to come sleep out in the living room, he said "No Daddy, I want to stay with Judah!" We think he is taking his role of big brother pretty serious :) We have never had this obstacle of having someone else in the nursery with the new baby, so we are in unchartered waters. Hopefully Judah will adjust quickly and not have any waking up times. Gotta love life with four!
Well I think that is a quick wrap up of what we've been up to. We're looking forward to some basketball these next few weeks.... bring on the March Madness!

Amber, you are my inspiration! When I am at a loss with my kiddos I just think to myself- "What would Amber do?" :)

Amber, it's simply amazing how you are able to manage all the changes 4 boys bring without flinching!
