Steph: The pony is in TN now, or will be this morning, which is where I wanted him to go in the first place. That is not to say that I didn't field a call just yesterday afternoon about leasing him in New York for 40,000 US/year. I always get those calls JUST after they've left! 
Not that I'm upset, because I truly think TN with this little girl is what's going to be best for him for the summer. He needs a good and loving kid for a few months to get him back in the game and get his little pony head set on straight! Not that it ever wasn't, but I think the trainer that had him didn't/wasn't doing nearly as much as she said she was with him as far as keeping him in work. 
Those were also such cute pics of Grayson in the pool! I can't wait to take the boys to the pool here this summer. The weather has been kind of nutty in Virginia, so we're waiting it out a bit before we go out to the community pool. When Liam was teeny, my mom's friends had a gorgeous private pool we could use anytime, but alas, no more
Shell: You are a strong woman and I respect you for what you are doing for your children. My mom and dad were divorced when I was 2 and she NEVER spoke poorly of my dad, just that we all made mistakes in our lives and people can change. I knew what had happened was 99% my dad's fault, but I never "blamed" him because of her. I grew up knowing that my parents were people too and for that I will be forever grateful to my mom.
Candy: I'm sorry you and Aaron are going through some stuff right now. I'm sure it will sort itself out. Sometimes you have to step back and take a good hard look at yourselves as a couple to get a picture of what's going on in your relationship. As I said up there to Shell, I am a firm believer in "it takes two" whether your relationship is going well or poorly. Like Steph said, just asking him and letting him know how you feel might be enough. No one can read minds and at least letting him know what's going on with you emotionally might be enough to set him straight, otherwise he might never know. Its frustrating when your partner just won't open up. Greg is that way sometimes, but I tend to coax it out of him sooner or later when something is bothering him.
Whatever it is, you know we're all here for you 
Sarah J: Everyone is right that you don't have two chins! You are lovely! Its us self deprecating, cheeky girls that have the great senses of humor, right? Jake doesn't mind tummy time, but he will only tolerate Liam jumping up and down and making the floor vibrate so much (since this is usually what happens when we do tummy time). He does like it when I get down there with him and he can smile and laugh and then his head falls down and he is no longer amused. Go figure
AFM: Yesterday was amusing. A friend came over so we could ride, my horse decided he didn't want to come inside since it was 79F and breezy (GORGEOUS!), so I rode my husbands horse, Indiana. He's very quiet and forgiving and super lazy..unless your CRAZY ASS neighbor's dog comes barking over the hedge in their yard right as you're getting your stirrups and girth sorted out. Needless to say, Indiana tripped over himself spinning away from the barking dog and I landed in a heap. Indy was fine, picked himself up and trotted off; I was fine, but royally pissed at my neighbors! Thus far, they don't leash their dogs up, they've chopped down all of the trees that ran along our property line which provided shade for the horses and our arena and left giant stumps with leaves growing out of them, they've yelled at me for asking their grandson not to play along the fence line when we're riding..the list goes on. They are very truly the real deal "American country neighbor". I've asked our landlord to build a 20ft wall between us and them Not really, but he has promised to provide a nice line of cyprus trees to block them out 
Jakes schedule has changed a bit again, but I'm leaving it up to him since he's two months old and there's really no arguing about it. 
Goes to sleep around 8:30 and gets up at 5:30 or 6, eats one WHOLE boob, goes back to sleep until 10ish. I think its the growth spurt at 2 months that's giving him the nods so early in the morning. Silly little bugger! Anyhow, that is why I'm usually replying to you ladies around 7AM now 
I hope everyone is having a great weekend wherever you are! xx
PS - do you all have any great nicknames that only you love for your baby? Jake's always been "hedgehog" since we were on hedgehog watch while waiting for him to be born and because of his hair, but I have always called him "noodle" because he's my little floppy noodle. LoL Greg hates when I call him noodle, but that is my buddy's nickname!

while baby was crying and cluster fed all day... I only had water 2 cups of coffee from 8 am till 8pm. And then I had no more milk. Baby wouldn't take the bottle to drink some milk from my milk bank, and just fussed and fussed. DH -being a wise ass- only said, well didn't you know it could be hard? 
I have to say I am so so jealous of Jackson's sleep!!! How do you get that from him?! Isabelle is a great sleeper compared to some babies, but nowhere near that!
I'm such a sleep lover though, so my preferred nights sleep is 9 hours--so only getting 6 broken up hours is definitely taking its toll!
