Little Prayer Request...

So, I just got back from our third trip to the doctor in 3 weeks. Ainsley screamed in pain all last night and is running fever again today. Bless this child's heart. We've been fighting an ear infection for a month. Looks like we are headed for tubes soon. I'm really good with this since we went through it with Noah. However, to top all of this off, Ainsley now has 7 teeth coming in at once! Is this normal? I was thinking that Noah went through that one at a time. My baby has been hurting. Please pray for her to get well. ....also, if anyone has any secret tricks when it comes to teething I'd love to hear about them.

8 Months

Ainsley is 8 months old today! I know I always say this...but I really can't believe how fast this is going. One year ago today, we found out that we were having a girl. I laugh when I think about how many times Ben asked the ultrasound tech if she was sure. A Dew girl? Really? Ainsley is a precious blessing that I'm daily amazed by. Ben, Noah, and I would not be the same without this little monkey.

Happy Birthday Nana!

Nana turned 50 today, so we decided to have a big day in the woods together. Just her style....



All of the kids and additions, except for one. Takes a lot to get all of us together at once!

Brittany had to be the prettiest cane pole fisherman out there!...by the way, "Happy Birthday, Brittany. We love you!"

Noah was SO serious, trying to be as big as his uncles. Ha!

The Newlyweds! They are still so sweet on each other :)

Lazy Days

Just a few pics from our lazy days recently...






This day, Ainsley was sick with an ear infection AND was cutting her first two teeth. The only thing that made her happy was a bowl of cream cheese...so this baby got her cream cheese for as long as she wanted :) If you look closely, you can see her little bitty bottom teeth coming in.







Noah is sure to kill me one day for this! For his birthday, he got a Cars helmet and knee pads. All morning they were a must...along with his "turkey sandwhich with mustard, not cut up, but with the crust torn off only at the top, like Daddy's big boy sandwhich". This picture will always make me smile :)

My Little Lovie

OK- so yes, I am loving having a girl!... Ben has been gone at night a lot lately because of baseball, so we play and take pictures for Daddy to see when he gets home. It has been so fun to watch Ainsley grow and do new things lately. She is now Miss Personality. I am sure she knows how cute she is, and loves to tease you with it. Peek a Boo is a new favorite as well as sticking her tongue out at you and then smiling (because she knows how precious she is!). Yesterday, she even waved bye-bye to me when I left after lunch. These are little things, I know, but they mean the world to me :)

"Snow for my birthday???"

Noah asked me if he got snow for his birthday. Of course I told him, " yes baby, happy birthday to you!"

I love this picture...not because she is mad, but because I have the same picture of Noah in his first snow. I guess it's just too cold!

Happy Birthday Noah!

Today, my little man is 3 years old! At his request, we had a "Dinosaur Party" with a "jumpy thing". I honestly can't believe that he is three! Seems like just yesterday, Ben and I were driving to the hospital in Memphis to have Noah. Looking back, I have to laugh at how silly and inexperienced we were at this baby thing. We had no clue how our lives would be changed. :) Happy Birthday, little love.
