The questions kids ask...

I just have to tell this story...


As I was putting Kurtis to bed last night he asked the following question:


"What are the two lima beans in my pee-pee?" Well, needless to say, I started laughing & had to get Jeff to tell him what Kurtis asked. We told him what they were and he seemed satisfied but I guess this is just the start of all the body questions we will have to answer over the next few years.


Just had to share...

First Haircut

This weekend we decided it was time to get Joey's hair cut. Several times while I have been out with him, people have asked if he was a boy or a girl, so I guess it is time. Joey's hair is actually a lot shorter than Kurtis' was when we took him for his first hair cut but oh well...

Here is a picture of Joey before:

I thought a nice side view would allow you to see what his hair looked like too:

During the hair cut - Joey did not cry once. His biggest problem was that he would not sit still. He also seemed less than impressed with the whole experience...

Here is the final outcome.

Joey is no longer my little baby - I almost started crying looking at him yesterday.

My Little Handsome Man.

2 Year Checkup

Today we had Joey's checkup. Here is the information:

Height: 34-3/4" (57%)
Weight: 31-1/4 lbs (80%)

Doing really well. Dr is pleased. One shot today with a prick of the finger to check for lead.

The major thing that came out of it - Joey did not cry at all. Not when they pricked his finger nor when they gave him his shot (in the arm). He is my strong little guy.

He sat nice and still as the Dr checked him out. He is so different from Kurtis when it comes to this.

Happy 2009 to all!

May 2009 bring you all the joy and happiness that you wish for.

Good luck in all you choose to do over the next year.

Jeff, Sarah, Lindsey, Kurtis and Joey

Joey is 2!!

December 26th, 2006 Joseph (Joey) Christian Gregory was born at 10:40pm - I know this is a little late but I am not any good at blogging regularly so please forgive me.

I think this is one of my favorite pictures from when Joey was born. Kurtis looks so much like the proud older brother that he just became. Mom is so happy looking at her newest grandchild.

Most of you know the story of Joey's birth - he was in a hurry - to put it simply!! I was scheduled for a repeat c-section on Jan 3 (due date Jan 8) since my doctor was going to be out of town for the holiday. Christmas was simple and uneventful. Susan came over in the early afternoon on the 26th - still no labor pains. I planned a dinner I actually made (from scratch) so I began it at 6pm. We ate at 7pm. Susan stayed until about 8pm. After she left - I went to the restroom and had some spotting. Called the Ob office - they said, go to the hospital.

I called Aaron & Amanda. Aaron came to get Kurtis. By this time - it was 8:30pm. I had 2-3 contractions in those 30 minutes. Jeff & I got in the car to go to the hospital. Got there around 8:50pm. Contractions were up to about 5-7 mins apart. By the time I got into a room - they were every 2-3 minutes. Dr came in to check me around 9:30 and said - "We are going to go prep a room for you, NOW! He is coming really fast." They initially wanted to wait until around 1am when my stomach would be empty but Joey was not having any of that.

Anyway - they got me into the operating room & Joey was delivered without any problems.

Now here is my wonderful guy now:

Happy Birthday Little Man!
