One Week

Mason Wade Palmer is one week old.
He eats, sleeps and loves to be wide awake between the hours of 3 AM and 5 AM!
He is a really good baby, except for the AM party!!
At his one-week-weigh-in he was exactly 7 pounds.
(babies should be at or above birth weight by their 2 week-check up)
That means he is doing great.
Thank you for your prayers.
Please continue to pray for sleep.
(Summer is not real nice when she does not get her rest)

Mason Wade Palmer is here

Mason Wade Palmer joined the family at 8:40 am and came into the world at 20 inches long and 6lb 15oz. We checked into the hospital at 6:30 am and he was out by 8:40 so it was a quick delivery. Summer did great and Mason is doing great as well.

Corn Box

Luke in the corn box.
Like a sand box but corn!

Mackenzie in the corn box.
(Yes, I let her pick her own clothes!)
Mackenzie said this is deer feed, not corn.
Uncle Chris hunts!

Tractor driven Cow Train
Jeremy is riding too, oh, dear!
Luke is in the orange shirt.
Mackenzie is right behind Luke.
This was the highlight of the day.
They BOTH remembered it from last year without
prompting on the drive out there!!
Great memory for a 5 and 2 1/2 year old.

1st Grade Bible Presentation

1st graders get their own first Bible.
They use it in class each week, together, so they can find the verses together.

Pregnant Mom Brain

I just put strawberry syrup in my bowl.....
of macaroni and cheese!
It was intended for the cup of milk which was right next to my bowl.
Yes, I ate it. It was not too much, just a drop or two.
Oh, the joys of pregnant mom brain.

Pre-Halloween fun

He thinks he is a policeman.
but he loves the knife, grenade, walkie-talkie, and the canteen.

Princess to the core. She thinks she is a princess.
Dress up is fun no matter what the season.
