The Crocs Have Landed....

In the mail a few days ago we recieved a pair of Lime-Green Cayman Crocs for a certain little 2.5 yr old at our house.

Can I tell you..... Seth is in LOVE with his new shoes! He hasn't taken them off, LOL! He wore them all day and then insisted in wearing them to bed. I took this below picture at about 11 pm, while Seth was sweetly snoring.


After I took the pic, I quietly removed the shoes and put them on the floor. At about 6 am, Seth woke up and started screaming. He wanted his shoes! LOL~ he was so upset that they weren't in the bed anymore.

Since then he has worn them everywhere! He tried wearing them to church too, but I was able to talk him into his cowboy boots at least.

And here he is, just yesterday afternoon~

LOL~ Can you tell Daddy dressed him for the day? In a shirt too small. Now, I do believe that Seth was the one who unsnapped the Onsie.

And just b/c I can't leave him out... look who loves his Pooh Mobile? LOL~ doesn't it look like Lucas is going "YAY!"

And here is sweet Lucas at one month old. I'm telling you, this baby boy has really chubbed up the last week, and he's lost a lot of that newborn look. His One month Checkup is tomorrow and I am anxious about hearing his weight. (This is his first checkup... our Ped doesn't do the one or two week check like most docs do.)

In my personal world, I am feeling stressed out. Taxes are due today, and we are getting them in the mail as I type. We owe, again, but thats not really a surprise b/c Nate is considered Self Employed. This is where its a bit discouraging being Clergy... our taxes are so complicated. We are considered Slef Employed... even though a church employs us. We also live in a Parsonage (a house that belongs to the church ) that is a perk and benifit to us, yet we have to pay taxes on that. Uggg.

I am also stressed b/c Nate is leaving for 3 days and nights for Prayer Conference in Pittsburgh. He was gone for a few days last week too, and it is hard work to mind after a toddler and a newborn by myself so long.

I posted this a couple different places, but in case you missed it.....

I know that the country is focused on the terrible tradgedy that happened at VA Tech yesterday....

and when I called my mom (In MD) to talk about it, she mentioned another story making headlines in Baltimore. I wish it was National News too, b/c How SAD and Heartbreaking is this?

Some MONSTER went to a playground and poured Sulfuric Acid on a slide. And then a sweet little 2 or 3 yr old boy slid down the slide, and is now in the Hossy with 3rd degree burns on his bum and "other" area.

This really makes me ill and so sad! My mom warned me to check the slide before we let our son go down, and I warn you to do the same. Just make sure it is dry!

Here is the newspaper story on it~
