Bega's visit

A few weeks ago my Dad (Bega) came to visit for a couple of days. He always brings treats for the kids. You can see Kian is really enjoying the doughnuts.


The kids didn't know he was coming. Kian was home when he got here and he was really excited. Allyn and Lyric where at school so David picked them up and they met us at Chili's for dinner. They had no idea he was going to be there, but they were really excited when they saw him.
The next day we had to go to Milwaukee to the childrens hospital because Allyn got inserts in her shoes for her flat foot and sore ankles. Allyn, David and I also had to get blood drawn for a Chromosome test they are doing on Allyn. We have not gotten back the results yet, but I HOPE to post them once we do get them. After the hospital we went to Olive Garden. That is always a treat!!

Begas first time holding Judah

Judah's first Bath

This morning Judah had his first bath. I always get a picture of the kids when they get their first bath, but I didn't get Judah's. The camera was in the van and David took the van to work this morning. I will get a picture of him when he has his second one!

.......

Judah is going to be 1 month tomorrow :(

Boys

Last night Kian and Lyric where wrestling around and Kian got hit in the mouth/nose. He is so wild and gets hurt all the time. I wonder how many trips I will take to the ER over the years with 3 boys. So far Lyric has been seen 1 time (remember he had a green bead stuck in his nose) and Kian has been in 2 times. A cut on each eyebrow.

Here are a few pictures of Judah smiling at David (sorry for the up the nose shot). When he is awake he is a really happy baby and smiles all the time now. Yesterday I said he is letting me sleep pretty good, well last night was not as good. I am really tired today. Here is the deal.... I have to get up to get the kids out the door and as soon as they leave I want to jump back into bed. If I do he will wake up right after I fall asleep and that makes it really hard to get up so it is just easier staying awake until the next time I know he is going to take a good nap. Kian loves it when I nap because I put him in bed next to me and turn on the cartoons. He could sit there for hours while Judah and I sleep. The first thing he said to me when I woke up this morning is, "are you going to go back to bed and I can watch cartoons". I hope he understands the reason he gets to watch so much cartoons is because I want to sleep not because I am being nice. He is starting to get mad at me when I say he can't watch TV. ...... Oh... Judah is awake!

Here are some picture from the past week.

I had to get a picture of all 4 kids. It is really hard to get one where each of them look half normal.

We got a meal brought to us every other day for the past two weeks from our church. It was so fantastic to not have to worry about thinking what was for dinner and then to actually cook it.... We were so thankful for everythink everyone has done for us while we welcomed Judah into our home. One night we got tacos delivered. Tacos are one of Kians very favorite meals. Here he is taking a big bit. He ate 3 tacos that night. No joking!

Judah really loves his swing! I tried to capture a couple pictures while he was swinging.

David had to get into his uniform the other day for a seminar he had to attend. Kian said he looks like a police man in this uniform. I think he looks like a 50 yr old.

The past few days Kian has really started to enjoy his baby brother. He tells him he loves him all the time. Here they are doing some bonding.

Allyn enjoys her baby brother too!

Judah has been doing well sleeping. He usually goes to sleep between 10-11 and wake up between 2:30-4:30. Last night he did well. He fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 4:30. He is such a good baby!

The Hastings Family Take 2!

Here is the start to our new blog. It is hard to start a new one when I want nothing but our old one back. I know that I had to start a new one though so here it is. Please post a comment so I know you have found us.
