The Third Month

On Aug 21, Thomas returned to the pediatrician, and happily this time they let us keep him!

On Aug 30, we all returned to the pediatrician for our official 2-month checkup.Zachary weighed 11lb 12oz, Reagan weighed 10lb 7.5oz, Jonathan weighed 10lb 4oz, and Thomas weighed 8lb 2oz. This put Zachary and Reagan both at 50%, Jonathan at 25%, and Thomas at 3%. They all got great checkups, and nobody had to go to the NICU!

Addendum to last month: We were finally able to find a permanent night nanny. It wasn't easy. I don't know why so few people wanted to stay up all night with crying babies! Nevertheless, we were blessed to find a generous soul to take on our challenging job. Bradley started working for us August 14 and did a fabulous job!

Aunt Jodie, Uncle Jeff, and Cousin Kinley came for a visit over Labor Day weekend. Jeff's wonderful sister Julie graciously allowed them to borrow her camera, and Jodie launched quite a photo shoot of her own with fantastic results! We had a great time with them! (PS--Thanks to Jarra for the adorable outfits with their names on them!)

The next week we had another visit from Granny Pam and Great-granny Kat. They brought with them pictures of Aunt Carey and our new cousin -to-be!

On Sept. 20 the babies turned 3 months old! It was a big day full of pictures and visitors! My friend Stacey from Harding came with Michelle to help out with the photo shoot. It was great to see her again! She was in town on a recruiting trip for Harding. We had a really great picture day, getting good ones of all the kids and of me and Jim too! Hurrah for Michelle again!

Also that day we had a surprise visit from Jim's Aunt Jayne and Cousin Caleb. What a treat to have them come by!
