New addition to the Head Family

I should probably mention my little brother and his wife Tiff had their first baby together. He was born on Jan. 25th. They named him Oscar Willis Head. I don't have any pictures yet because I only have seen him once and it was really short. He has had a rough start. He weighted 5lbs. 12 oz. when he was born and he was having a hard time gaining weight plus he has been jaundice. They had to take him back to the hospital and put him under the warmers to keep his body temp. up. Today, he is home and seems to be doing well, but, I won't get to hold him for a while since I feel like I am getting a cold. I don't want to spread my germs to him just yet.

Griffin turns 5

Happy Birthday Griffin! Caleigh drew this picture for Grif today and so we just had to add it to the blog. She is always thoughtful and trying to make others feel special. Notice the star wars
t-shirt.Griffin had a special "guest" at his party, LUKE SKYWALKER, when I set him up the night before he startled me a couple of times. I kept thinking Mike was home for break. The boys loved adding him to their room decor. Expect they turned him around tonight because he was looking at them.

Yesterday Griffin was telling me how excited he was to turn five. He talked about it all day. At night when he was brushing his teeth he said, "mom, my thumb is ready to be out."

"what?"

"you know my thumb gets to be out soon because I'll be 5." He proudly showed me his hand with fingers and thumb spread out.

I'm not ready for him to be big but, I haven't figured out how to freeze time yet so... Happy Birthday Grif! We love you!

Remembering

So Mike and I are getting our house ready to sell. We don't know yet where or when we are moving but, we are unsure of how long it will take our house to sell. And since we are moving somewhere before next fall we decided it was time to get things moving(ha, ha) along. The kids are getting nervous with all the moving talk so I am trying to reassure them it takes a long time to sell a house and we are just getting started. My Mom has been dropping off boxes all week. I can't believe how many boxes a High School goes thru in a week. 30 boxes this week. I can't even say how I feel about leaving my little house. I hated it for so long and now, well, it's a part of me. It's where I brought home all my babies. It's the only place that's felt like "home" since I left my parent's for college. Oh well, life moves on and I have to go with it. So we'll keep every one updated as far as the WHERE and WHEN the move happens.
