It's not a tat, it's real!!
Jacob got caterpillars and a butterfly cage for his birthday a few weeks ago. What a fun surprise this morning. The boys wanted to take them out and let them fly around their room, but I told them no, we didn't want them to fly away before the girls saw them. Isaac informed me that they were Jakies present, not mine. He had a point, so I said, "fine, whatever Jakie wants to do".

Sometimes it's just those little simple things that make me happy! Finally a crib for Luke!! Luke's been sleeping in a porta-crib ever since we packed out leaving Japan 13 months ago!!! When we got here, the movers had lost his crib parts, and his crib had been discontinued and I couldn't replace them. He seemed happy enough in the porta crib, but when he ripped a huge hole in the side of it last month, I decided I wasn't ready for him to move to a real bed, and so it was time! I found one on craigslist, but then of course had I to order a missing part for it, and then it sat for a month needing to be assembled, but last night was the night, YEAH!!!!! Luke wasn't too sure at first about it, but apparently it was comfortable enough because he slept through a 80lb Doberman barking in his room this morning! I didn't realized Duchess was asleep on his floor when I put him to bed last night, and this morning when I heard Duch barking and I kept thinking, "dang-it Emma, let your dog outside!" .....she was really locked in Lukes room though and it didn't even wake him!
