Sigh. It’s a wet and cold Monday morning and I’m on day five of a super gross headcold. Bless John, he has been totally picking up my slack over the weekend so I’m sure he was THRILLED to flee me and my red, weeping nose and this disgusting house to the solitude of our used…

I FINALLY got our video camera connected to my Mac tonight and started going through some footage. I’m hoping to share some clips from the hospital when we first had Jossy, but man, I was SO HIGH off of pain killers after surgery that, well, we just might keep those clips just for us. We…

Videos are great! That is awesome to hear Miles read 🙂 I’m sure one day Jossy B will be lying on top the dog- in the meantime, it doesn’t seem she minds a little snuggle.
-
How did you get him reading so well?! I need “awesome mom of 2” tips! So cute to see Jocelyn movin around and coo’in. Such a sweet baby girl!
-
Oh my! I love how he sounds it out. So dying to know some techniques you used with him. Zane keeps asking to learn how to read and I have no clue where to start.
-
Do you remember what Stamp did when we first brought her over for a visit? She very carefully and lovingly gave Jossy a kiss on the forehead. It was such a tender act of love that I believe I cried.
-
Ha! Oh Barb. She always cracks me up. Miles is getting so big!!! He seems like such a big guy in that first video. I love how excited you guys get when he figures out the word. And John’s music staff tee? Priceless.

Love how the dogs want to be around the baby! My daughter read at about the same age as Miles. She’s been labeled as ‘gifted’, she’s 14 now. We read with her all the time, she keeps a dictionary near by all the time. You can tell that you have spent lots of time with Miles.

That video of Miles reading is precious. He’s so stinking cute! Jocelyn is getting so big!
-
I love the video of him reading! SO adorable!
-
miles has THE cutest voice on the planet. mmm wanna smoosh him up
-
When I heard Miles say “Zoom”, it reminded me of when he said “BOOMSAUCE!!!!”…so very cute and thanks for sharing.
This weekend was so amazingly beautiful that I tried to get outside as much as I could. I have to admit that it hasn’t really sunk in yet that it’s actually October because it’s been so warm. Before I know it Halloween will have passed me by so I better get my head wrapped around…

45 years? I’m pretty sure that’s a typo!

Love the pic of you and the three kiddos! Warms my heart and you better believe Miles and Joc will love it in their album 30 years from now!

-
Her LIPS! Oh my goodness. How I love naked babies.
-
Look at your beautiful self and your beautiful babies!!!
-
You look gorgeous! I can’t believe how long your hair is!
The sweetest time of my day is when I get to just hold Jocelyn and gaze upon her lashes or coo at her while she smiles back. So often I wish my eyes could just be cameras, capturing these sweet moments. So I had John help me out. I asked him to try to photograph…

My good heck she’s perfect Betsy…and those lashes…WOWZA!
-
Ohhhh, so sweet Betsy. She really is a beauty, and along the same lines as Diane: wowie zowie those lashes. :~)
-
She’s absolutely beautiful, Betsy. Gorgeous view, indeed. 🙂
-
And look at her perfect little hand! So happy for you, Betsy.
-
Oh, she is so squishy. Did you make that quilt?
P.S. Yay! You’re using the boppy cover!
-
I’m so glad you said you often wish for cameras for eyes. I tell my family that on a regular basis and they think I need to be committed.
The other morning it was so chilly that I grabbed the nearest hat I could for Jocelyn, even though it was too big, to keep her warm and snuggly while I sipped my tea for a bit. John was heading out the door and couldn’t resist chatting with her and he ended up getting the…

Those jammies are PRECIOUS! I love the colors/pattern and they look so soft! Thanks for the heads up where to get them. Now that we’ve run out of everything people have gifted us, I need to buy some and I wasn’t sure where to start. I did have some from Gymboree I like. Anyway, I think she looks just like you! Is that what people say? Enjoy your fall!
-
Yeah, how COULD anyone resist her? (And, those lashes!!) I’d have a hard time leaving the house! P.S. I don’t think there is anything more irresistible than a cuddly baby in footie pajamas!!! Miss my babies that are all grown up…..

Hey Betsy – if Miles wants to be in big construction when he gets older just let me know (that’s my “day job”) and we’ll hook him up. Of course, it’s not all fun in the mud everyday… cheers, Nick
Betsy, I’m so sorry for your loss,but so happy for your new life!
You’re a beautiful woman Bets, inside and out, and I always love hearing you share your bits and pieces of yourself on here (and in person). Jossie girl is FLIPPING PRECIOUS in that photo. WOW, what a beauty!!! Can’t wait to hear your full thoughts on having a girl. And trust me, you’re not screwing anything up. Life is hard. Just take it one day and one breath at a time girl. 🙂
I love that photo!
Betsy, #1: I love your photos. They inspire me. #2: I would love to hear about your journey losing your husband to cancer. Difficult times like these really mold us into better people. #3: Welcome to life with two kids! I entered the crowd myself just 14 months ago with my baby girl. So far no one is too emotionally damaged, so we’re doing OK. 🙂 Can’t wait for more updates!
she’s your twin. 🙂 and she’s perfect!
