AHHH! Relief! Ford's first tooth made its appearance on Monday morning. It's the bottom right one...the other bottom one is about to come in, too.

This picture makes me laugh, but here's the proof!

New bunk beds! We drove to Columbus, Georgia today and picked up some bunk beds I found on craigslist.com for a steal. Charlotte is SO excited...She's pretending to be a pirate climbing the mast in this picture! James isn't quite ready to leave the crib yet, but he'll take the bottom bunk in a few months.

Ford is rolling over now, and here is trying to make a getaway... The other two are making their best "say cheese!" faces.

Eventually, the bunk beds will be for the boys and Charlotte will have her own big girl room.

We have backyard neighbors with a great salt-water pool that they have given us free use of this summer. Their one son is grown and our back shared fence even has a connecting gate! We can just cut through any time to enjoy their pool. On Thursday, Sy's day off, I was able to take just Charlotte swimming while the boys napped and Sy mowed the lawn. It was fun to watch how much she's grown in the water this year and play "Ariel" with her :) She did a great job jumping in, swimming with her face under the water, and doing cannonballs off the diving board. With the weather in the 100's the past 2 weeks, and the heat index usually over 105-110, we couldn't stay out long. But it is such a treat to have a pool like this to use!

Teething is NO fun!!!!

Ford is about to get his bottom front two teeth and isn't even 5 months old yet! But I shouldn't be surprised.... James had all 4 on top and all 4 on the bottom by seven months old!
