6 weeks old

We are getting ready to go to Las Vegas tomorrow. I know, it sounds crazy with a 6 week old and a 4 1/2 year old, but Jeff's brother Dave is getting married on Saturday. I am hoping that we survive the trip. The next entry I make will chronicle our adventures in Sin City. I figure I can do the slots during middle of the night feedings, only we are staying in a non-casino hotel. Actually, I am perfectly content with that. I have never been to Las Vegas, and really I have never had a strong desire to go. Now I am going with 2 small children and there will be 7 other nieces and nephews there who are 15 and under. The wedding sounds very nice. It will take place at the Belagio and the reception is at the Four Seasons. My only dilemma is that I need to wear something 2-piece because of breastfeeding accessibility, so I am hoping I will be dressed up enough. Jeff is going to be the best man, but doesn't need to wear a tux, so hopefully it will be ok for me to wear a skirt and a blouse. Hey, I'm not going to be the center of attention anyway, so who cares!!

So, we survived croup last week, but Connor still has a bad cough and some wheezing, which he has a tendency to do when he gets upper respiratory infections. Hopefully he will be doing better soon, but I think I may need to bring his nebulizer with us. Porter has had a stuffy nose for a couple of weeks now, but otherwise is doing great and growing like a weed.

Here are some recent photos:






Also, we finally got our basement furniture. We got a sectional and leather ottoman and some bar stools. It's finally coming together. Now I have someplace to sit when Connor wants to go play down there. We have been sitting on the floor, which hasn't been the most comfortable place to sit, and usually I am nursing Porter too. I'm just so happy with our furniture! Of course Jeff came home last night and said he didn't like the color pillows I picked out, but oh well, I guess he'll get used to it! ;)

Ok, I'm off to pack and do laundry while I've got a sleeping baby!
