Jocelyn Week #2
So we have gotten into a groove with two girls in the house. We have tamed the green monster (at least a little bit), and even ventured out a few times. Mommy is getting better at juggling the little ones.
Jocelyn loves the swing.
We have eyes!
Daphne is a big helper
She even likes to read to all of us every night. We read Courduroy that first night. We read that with Daphne so it was cute to have her "read" it to Jocelyn.
One of our first times out, we took our fur boys to get rabies shots. We came back with one less boy. Cole got really upset about getting his shot and broke the door on his cage. He ran out into the woods, and we still can't find him. We are hoping he is eventually found, I'm trying to be optimistic (yet realistic). On top of that, we had parked on a hill, and it wouldn't start because the gas moved to the front of the vehicle. No I didn't run out of gas, I had almost a half a tank in the van! It was just tormenting me for being out in the extreme heat with a newborn, a two year old, a dog, and a missing cat! Luckily Clinton hadn't taken lunch break yet, so he ran home and got the gas can and put enough in it so it would start. Needless to say, I am watching where I park from now on!

The fam!
Someone had to play on the surfboard too
This is why I was all belly! Look at how she is curled up!

Great big sister!
The two of them taking a nap. Clinton enjoyed his week off from work :)
We spent our anniversary in the house. Clinton had to work that day. He picked Daphne up and came home. He saw Jocelyn and I were taking a nap, so the two of them went out to surprise me with a cake, some flowers, dinner, and some of my white cheddar popcorn. It was adorable. All four of us celebrated with cake and subway, and Clinton and I made night of watching Numbers until bedtime...WITHOUT computers, phones, etc. It was a very nice way to spend our anniversary.

For Clinton's birthday, we surprised him with a little get together. Jason, Brandon, Charity, Bryson, Brendan, and Shannon were there. We had pizza and ice cream cake. Emilee and Jason bought the ice cream cake for him since Emilee is always in New York for his birthday. The boys played poker after dinner, and the kids went to bed. Mommy watched another Numbers until falling asleep. Getting up every 2 hours makes for one tired lady. Yay for being done with jaundice though and getting to sleep a little longer. I fed Jocelyn religously every 2 hours for two weeks to flush the yellow out of her. She is much more alert now. Its cute because Daphne calls her "bright eyes" now.

On Monday (Clinton's actual birthday), we celebrated both Clinton's birthday and uncle Brian's birthday. Brian had to work on his birthday and was going to Carowinds on Tuesday, so Monday was the best day to do it. We grilled hamburgers and hotdogs, had homemade parfaits, and birthday cake. The family was all over at the house to celebrate the boys' birthdays. Paw was enjoying his time with his two girls.
Jocelyn Marie Eddings is born 6/16/11

Sesame Street... Here Daphne Comes
Mimi and Paw took Daphne on a very special trip the weekend of Memorial Day. They started out on Friday morning and ate at Cracker Barrel. Then they went to see Sesame Street Live, where the three of them got to sit front row AND meet all the characters BACK STAGE! Clinton and I got pictures all day long of their adventure. We were both very jealous! :) It looked really awesome. The fun thing was, the adventure continued after the show. They drove to South Carolina and stayed at the Embassy Suites and then went to the Riverbanks Zoo for the day. Let's just say we weren't sure who was more tired by the end of this trip! They all came home with big smiles, so I would say it was a good time.

Daphne wasn't afraid of the characters at all. We were so relieved when we found out. Clinton and I were afraid she was going to be shy, but nope, not at all!
Yes, this is actually how close they sat.
