I KNOW, I KNOW...
Burgette


Yes, I know that I am slacking on adding to our blog. I don't mean to push it aside! After a long day with kids all over my house, I have to attend to my normal "wife/mother" duties (cooking dinner, cleaning house, bathing kids and so on). So, I just forget to do the blog page! Honest, I want to keep up on this so that you all know how the boys are.


Did you all have a good Easter? We did! Henry loved hunting for eggs and opening them up to find out what was inside! He was excited to get a new Thomas the Tank Engine movie, Eddie too! We didn't do too much candy, just a few for each of them. We had a good Easter, but it was not the same without Nana and Papa around. But, we are very excited to go to Nana's and Papa's on Sunday!!! Well, Eddie is officially saying his first word (finally!!!). He says "Papa"!!! Yeah Dad, he says Papa---not Mama or Dada---but Papa!!! If we show him a picture of Papa he smiles and says it. It's so cute! So, when we come down he can say it and associate it with the real person!


Well, enjoy the picture of the boys with Georgia. They had so much fun visiting with the girls last week, we all did! Have a great week!

Reading is fundamental!
Burgette

Aunt Katie was nice enough to read a story to Henry and Eddie. As you can see they both loved it.

Too Busy!
Burgette

Well, it has been very busy here in the Burgette house! Katie, Celina, Maranda, and Georgia all came on Sunday to stay for the week. So, can you imagine my home during the day...with Katie's three, my two, and the four that I babysit??? One word---LOUD!!! It's only nine kids, right? YEAH!

The boys have had runny noses and grumpy-bugs since Saturday. They are getting a little better...it just needs to be gone before we head to Tennessee at the end of the month. It has been cold then warm, snowing then raining. I'm sure that the weather has not helped the "sick" situation.

I will post a picture soon of all the kids together...if I can get them all together! Take Care!

Eddie's special spot!
Burgette


Eddie has found a special place he likes to sit! It is under a small table we have in the family room. If there is anything in the way, he pulls it out and puts himself in! He gets in there and will look at books or just watch the other kids playing. He seems to like to crawl under anything...the kitchen table, the baby swing, anything he can get through or under! I guess we are lucky that he is wanting to crawl under things and not on top (yet!!!!).

Time to take a bath!
Burgette



Every other night in our house, around 7pm, you will hear me chanting to the boys, "time to take a bath". I say it over and over until we are up the stairs and getting the clothes off! Both of the boys know what time it is when I start chanting that phrase. It has been our bath time motto ever since Henry was a baby. I love to see how excited Eddie gets as soon as I start saying it. Both boys love bathtime, but they love bathtime in different ways. Henry is content playing with his animals and just hanging out...Eddie, on the other hand, is ALL over the tub. He is constantly splashing and getting water all over EVERYTHING!

James Goes Buzz Buzz
Burgette



Eddie is LOVING this book. Henry went to the library with Derek last week and checked this book out for Eddie. It is James Goes Buzz Buzz -- A Thomas the Tank Engine Story. He really likes any Thomas story, we have a few here at home. He kisses a picture of James in this book that shows James' red nose from the bee stinging him. He does it every time we read the book, which is at least five times a day. I think he might be sad when we have to return it to the library.


Well, we may be getting more snow this weekend. I am so sick of snow and cold weather!!!


Have a wonderful weekend!!!

We're Back!
Burgette



Yes, I know that it has been one week since my last blog entry. I promise not too much has changed in that time period. Henry finally had Jantzyn back last week after her and Drezdan were gone for a week due to illness, and this week Nolan and his new baby brother, Carter, come back after mom's four month maternity leave. Once again, the noise level in the Burgette home is at an all time high! That's okay though because the kids have so much fun together. Eddie hangs in there just fine with the big kids...he has no problem fighting for what he wants! In fact, he defends himself even more than a couple of the "big" kids do. I guess we don't need to worry about him being picked on, just need to worry about him doing the picking! As you can see in the picture, he is always up to something!


The weather is CRAZY in Ft.Wayne, as usual. It was about 54 degrees today, but it is going to snow 2-4 inches tonight and tomorrow. I had a little spring fever today. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. Henry and Nolan even went outside to play today!


Well, I will be sure to add another post before another week is up! Have a good one!
