March & April

We spent a lot of March at home. And, then in April.....we hit the ground running!!! Here's a bunch of random pictures from those months~ May and June coming soon!!!

Merrill is loving Henderson. Sometimes a little too much. She always says, "Hen-hen is eating me." She's going to love getting him in trouble. I do think these two are going to be great friends and great trouble!!

Easter bunny brought first pair of chuck taylors. We've worn these suckers with several smocked dresses....life is all about compromise, right?






Easter sunday. Merrill unhappy.....again!




my sweet boy is growing like crazy...




merrill loves, loves, loves trying on Henderson's clothes. Most of them fit in the waist. These 3 month pants are just a little short though.







We potty trained. And, we still are. I love how it looks like they are deep in conversation. And, I love how Emery's toothbrush is practically touching the toilet.






Kiki made Henderson his very own daygown for his first Sunday at church.








Okay....Jim wanted to take all 3 kids, by himself to the grand old opry....just teasing! he took the girls before the flood and I'm so glad!
































celebrating Daddy's birthday. I made his cake and my first outing with all three by myself was to the grocery for ONE thing I needed for the cake. But, the outing went great.....we celebrated with ice cream from maggie's moos afterwards. Are you doing the math??? Yes, I had two desserts that day!!













This one is for my sister. We tease my dad about being a shoe salesman. He worked at a store called family bootery for one summer in college. So, now he's a shoe expert!!




























Jim has been doing some work around our "new" house. We've owned it for a year now! crazy how fast time is flying!!!!















what a crew! easter sunday
















Emery at her easter egg hunt at school

















the girls loved and still love irratating the little guy

















merrill has successfully made henderson a passy lover too!

Pop with all three grandbabies





















Hen-Hen's birthday

*THIS POST IS 4 1/2 MONTHS LATE*


We knew our boy name for sure. James Henderson Byerly, Jr and that we would call him Henderson. But, if it had been a girl....it could have been bad. We were still "discussing" names in the operating room!!!





When he made his arrival, I can remember saying to Jim, bring that BOY over here. Did I just say that? A boy????What does a Byerly boy look like!!! Well, I'll say that he's familiar looking to me. But, so far everything about him is lighter....his hair is lighter than the girls was, his eyes are still really blue, and his skin is much fairer!! But, he's much meatier than the girls were!



well, here's what a fresh byerly boy looks like!!!here's what a byerly big sister looks like as she looks at her baby brother....


meeting Henderson for the first time....I bet if we had pulled back that mask, Jim had a big smile!!!





so sweet!




And, his nickname....Hen-hen! We weren't planning on that one!





I had to think about my password for a mintue....

So, I would have never thought there would be 2 1/2 month gap between my last post and this one..... But, I hope to catch up this weekend. I said hope to..... My free time these days is spent folding laundry, emptying the diswasher, and watching some dvr'd shows that require me to not think at all! And, an occasional workout with Jillian. So, I've missed blogging, but can make no guarantees! ( I mean I can't even remember how to spell anymore! Did I get guarantee right?)



We finally opened the "envelope"..... And guess what.....the ultrasound tech was right.....


We got us a precious baby boy!!!
Henderson is such a sweet baby..... (this picture is from Easter-2 months outdated!!! And, yes the blanket is Emery's) He's growing like crazy and is such a sweet addition to our family!
Stay tuned for lots of pictures and posts!!!
