So long, it has been!

This week was a long week. Every now and then my lack of sleep catches up with me and I just feel like I'm dragging along. This week was that week. Perhaps it is the fact that Ben is now teething on the top, and waking nearly every hour after 1AM. That could be it. Whatever the cause, I know the fix is to go to bed earlier, and as you can see, that isn't being done. Shame on me! So I guess technically I have no right to complain.

This coming Saturday is my cousin's wedding. I'm excited to go down to Valdosta to see family that hasn't seen Ben yet. He will meet his Great-Great Granddaddy and we will take a 5-Generation photo. Five! Wow. Granddaddy is 93 years old and has congestive heart failure. So we are glad he gets to meet Ben before . . . well I don't want to talk about that.

My best NOT friend (we are so much more than just 'friends' - more like sistas!) found out last Friday that she is pregnant again! Her baby girl turns 1 this month. I am so excited for her! I admit I get a little baby fever with my . . . whatever she is pregnant! But I keep telling myself that right now, we just can't afford it. We know God will provide, but he also expects us to be responsible in our decisions and actions.

Lately we have been talking about giving Davey (our rabbit) away because we just don't spend enough time with him and I am constantly feeling guilty about that. I don't want to put him up on Craigslist and have some stranger take him away, so we are going to ask around and see if anyone has a place for a sweet rabbit to stay.

I feel depressed just thinking about it. I got him for my 16th birthday.

Benjamin's 6 month check up was this past Monday. He weighed in at 19.55lbs and he is now 26 and 3/4 inches tall! That puts him in the 80th percentile for weight and 70th for height. He's leveling out pretty good, I'd say! A bit above average, but not off the charts!

Here are some recent pictures:

A serious baby - but look at those beautiful blue eyes!

And that's it! Hopefully I will be better at giving y'all updates to read - I know you are just dying to know what's going on in my life!
