Keeping Up With The Kimseys

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see my brother Jamie star in the play "Winnie the Pooh"at North Greenville College. It is really nice to see him do something he loves AND he does it quite well. He was Piglet and really was very entertaining (as he always has been). Here are some pics from the play...

Also this past weekend, we borrowed a jump toy from Clay's sister. Charlie had so much fun jumping that he wore himself out... He would jump jump jump and then start to close his eyes and fall asleep on the spot. Here are some pics of that...

We had a lot of fun watching him do that over and over

(don't worry, we only let him do it a few times before we put him to bed).

Okay I will leave you with some pics of the boys... Happy Monday...

ALSO, if you didn't know, I am going some where very special this week... to the...

Yep, not much blogging gets done when we are in Charleston. It seems that with some help I would have extra time to blog but all I want to do with my extra time is SLEEP! Let me just do a quick summary of our time in Charleston and then leave you with some pics...

1. The boys are now 5 months old.

2. Miller has rolled from his back to stomach... several times.

3. I took the boys out of their swaddles (which was HUGE because I feared doing it, but they are sleeping very well without it). They sleep until about 7 each morning.

4. My brother and his wife had a baby girl... (got to the hospital and had her in 20 min with one push and NO doctor)

5. I spent my first night away from the boys (Clay and I went and stayed at the Charleston Place for one night for V day)

6. Miller sucks his thumb.

7. Clay and I went to my brother to get our teeth cleaned and checked out. We were re taught the importance of good dental health and are excited about keeping it up! (we do have some cavities but nothing too major)

Okay, that was the gist of our trip. I LOVE being able to be home and see everyone that I love so much. I often think of what it would be like to live in Charleston, but when I go back, I realize that it is so special when we come to visit that I actually like it this way. Sure I would love to have day to day experiences with my parents and grandparents and brothers and cousins BUT visiting often makes the time I spend with them even so much more special!

Well here are a few pics from the week and a half I was there with the boys...

Eden Grace was only about an hour and a half old in this

picture. She hadn't even gotten her bath yet.

Sweet little thing. I can't believe my boys

use to be smaller than her. She is tiny!

To say Clay was anxious about going to the dentist was a

HUGE understatement. He whined for weeks about not

wanting to go.

and he was VERY tense...

but by the end he was pleased with the results!

Sweet little legs as he eats his breakfast.
Chuckles with his Mimi.

The boys right before bed.

I didn't take too many pics so those are all I got but hopefully I will have some more soon! Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather...

This time last year I got a call from a doctors office to tell me I was PREGNANT. It became official one year ago! What an awesome and amazing journey. I am so thankful for my boys. They bring me so much joy and I am overwhelmed by God's graciousness to Clay and me. We prayed so hard for them and wanted them so badly and He decided to bless us with them. We knew He still heard us even if we did not get pregnant, but ONE YEAR AGO He gave us a precious gift... well gifts.

Here is what those precious gifts looked like today at 4 and 1/2 months old...

Miller ready for the tub.

Love him.
Cute.

Proud Papa.

This process isn't easy.

All cleaned up.

Really not easy, huh Charlie?
