So we have a new pool for our backyard. I had bought one back when Desmond was 1, but it has a leak in it and is way to small for Desmond. So we went out to Toy’s R Us and bought a bigger one, for the small ones to play in. It even has a water slide! A small one, but it keeps them happy anyways. Unfortunately our backyard facet is not working right now, and Dan has not been able to find the shutoff/turn on valve for it yet, so we’ve had to fill the pool by hand. The two small ones have really enjoyed it though, and even Sully has had fun in it, getting wet. It is even big enough for Mommy to sit in it with the small ones. Overall the pool has been a big hit. So here are some pictures from 2 different days of using it.

All hail the King!

This is Desmond in the throne at his birthday party.

First off some basic blog information/musing. I am attempting to update the blog every Tuesday with a post, mainly a pictures post at this point in time, because typing a lot is a bit beyond what I have time for. I am also trying to post a Wordless Wednesday post every Wednesday. Other then that I am trying to post when I can, but things get busy with three. If you check the site on Wednesday though you should see the new big post from Tuesday and the new Wordless Wednesday, consider anything else a bonus.

I did get around to updating the header, so now Sully is on it. I am still debating if I want to change the whole look of the blog. It has had this look since right before Eloise was born, but I like it still, since it is fairly simple and basic, so I’m still debating which way to go on it, and if I want to spend the time updating the whole look or not.

As for a general family update. Everyone is doing well, Sully is getting lots of attention from his big brother and sister. Desmond is almost done with preschool for the year, I think he enjoyed the year, and should have fun next year. He will be going to summer camp for 4 weeks this summer which he should enjoy.

Desmond is pretty sassy right now, he likes to send you to your room if you don’t agree with him. So I get sent to my room quite often as does Dan. He also has told us, “I don’t want you to say no, you should always tell me yes!” He is always disappointed when his wishes don’t come true. Eloise is starting to have a bit of an attitude too, though nothing compared to her brother. She does have to do whatever Desmond is doing. So if Desmond is doing xyz Eloise always tells us, “me too!” and tries to do it as well. Sully is social smiling, which is nice and he is babbling a little, he still hasn’t rolled completely over, but is quite good on getting up on his side. He is now wearing the same size diapers as Eloise, and we’ll learn how big he is at his 2 month appointment next week.

Everything is going well now, though I am fairly busy with all three of them, we are starting to get a routine down though, so hopefully things will start to calm down some as summer progresses.

Here are a bunch of pictures from 2 Sundays ago when we were at my in-laws. We visit them almost every Sunday. It was nice out so we were all out in their backyard and they were playing with the three small ones.

A lazy Saturday afternoon.

So I took some pictures of Sully this afternoon since my in-laws took Eloise with them to go pick up Desmond and go to the Mall to play for awhile. I was hoping to get one of him smiling, but he won’t smile for the camera, hopefully soon. Anyways I thought I’d share a bunch of pictures of the different faces that he made today at 7 weeks old.

So here are pictures of Sully’s varying expressions within a 5 minute or so time period at 7 weeks old.

While my Mom was here, back in April we took Sully to Sears, along with Eloise and Desmond to get some pictures done. I forgot to post a couple of them here though once we had them done, so I’ll do that now. On that note I still need to make up his birth announcement, hopefully I get to it this week. Anyways here are some of the pictures we got of Sully, Eloise and Desmond when we went to Sears.

Eloise giving Sully a kiss

Unfortunately Desmond’s hair kept getting in the way of a picture of him giving Sully a kiss.

Sleeping baby!

All 3 of them together. This picture actually was really easy to get, unlike trying to get a picture of Eloise and Desmond together, or even Eloise and Desmond individually with Sully.

Since the weather has been nice out and I’ve had a lot of help, thanks to my in-laws, Dan, and my Mom. We have been to the playground quite a few times this spring so far. So of course I have brought the camera, both the big and little one depending on the day. Of course since Sully Bear is so new, I haven’t had much time to blog, so I thought I would just post various pictures from the playground, from various days without making them all separate posts. So here are my 3 enjoying the playground!
