We've been busy!

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of posting...but we've been busy! I think I'll have to break this post up into a couple different ones...just so I don't get too long and bore you! This week started out with Natalee turning 1 week old and our Bible Study threw us a surprise baby shower! It was a lot of fun showing her off to them...plus they all made really good food for supper and they gave her lots of cute presents! Then we also had more pictures taken of her and tomorrow we will get to go and preview them and then I'll be able to put some of them on here...but be warned...she looks really cute! Tuesday we just hung around but then on Wednesday we left for the rest of the week and went up north and took Natee ice fishing for the first time! I'll post pictures and write more about this later! Now today we just hung around here...celebrated Natee turning 13 days old and looking forward to tomorrow when we can celebrate the boys birthday and the fact that Natee is going to turn 14 days old, which is a milestone for us and our kids (if you remember Emmalee only lived for 13 days). Tomorrow I plan on writing my thoughts out on the other blog so you'll have to check it out :) I've been a little weepy today just thinking about the boys (I think part of it is lack of good sleep :) Thanks Natalee for that!) but like I told Jon today that it's hard to comprehend that I'm grateful 'cause I have Natalee and yet so sad that they couldn't be here with us...but if they were here we wouldn't have Natalee...it's so complicated! :) But anyway...I won't get into that here...but I will give you a few pictures of our sweet girl...how would you like that?!?! Okay...here you go:

The girls in pink! Natalee with her Auntie Net!

Natalee got some pretty flowers from our church...she was really grateful...even if it doesn't look like it in this picture! Big yawn!

Adam and Amanda from our Bible Study...they gave us these cute onesies and matching headbands that Amanda made...too cute! I think she's going to start selling them...I'll let you know! Oh...and I'll get a picture of them on here as soon as I put Natee in one!

Natalee and Cory (also from our Bible Study)...Sarah didn't get in the picture...next time Sarah! They gave Natalee some cute outfits that she can't wait to wear!

Gary and Kelly (they were the hosts)...they gave Natalee a really cute zebra that matches her blanket...and they gave us the Baby Wise book...which so many of you have recommended to us...so I can't wait to get Baby Wise! And get Natalee to sleep through the night! ha! :)

Michael and Holly...they gave us cute tutu pj's for when Natalee gets older...she's going to be so cute in them...they also gave us a book on parenting...we're going to become experts! :)

Now aren't these cupcakes cute! Amanda made them...nice and pink and girly!

She even put N's on some of them...it wasn't until the end of the night that I realized that they were N's...I just thought they were pretty swirls!

Well I hope you guys have a good week...I'll be back on later this week with another post. Oh yeah...as for my last post...I don't want any of you to be concerned...I posted a picture of Natalee on her tummy on a blanket...she was not sleeping (she might look like it 'cause she closes her eyes when my flash goes off) but rather she was just having some tummy time with me sitting right next to her...I do know that they don't recommend that you put your baby on their tummy's to sleep...although I do know that there are plenty of people that do and their baby's have been just fine...I am a little over cautious so I am very careful as I cannot stand the thought of something happening to another one of my babies...so don't worry okay...I am doing my best to be a good mom :)
