Ezekiel James Morgan

Yesterday was Zeke's blessing. He got to wear Aaron's outfit he wore 26 years ago!! Aaron's dad, step mom, and grandma were able to be with us. Also, Gabe was Captain underpants and Zeke was super diaper baby!! Everyone rest assured, that Zeke and Gabe will save the day!!!

What a great day ahead of us!!!!

We have such a wonderful day ahead of us. I am so glad that we have found such close freinds to share this with. Thank you all for loving us enough to partake in this event in our lives.

Day 1

This is the first day of Granny being here and things are going great!!!! I have actually gotten a lot done!!! She helped me to finish tagging and hanging the clothes for the Wee-Sale next week! If you want info on the Wee-Sale let me know!!!!

Long day ahead

Aaron's gramma gets here today so I have a lot to do!!! Going to Babies R Us with Kim, then playgroup, then lunch with the girls, then home by 3 put laundry away and get the guest bed made. Then at airport by 345.

Dinner

I made a roast for dinner tonight. I can't wait to eat it!!! It has made the house smell so freakin' yummy! I think I may bring some to Kim after we eat. Maybe make some tatoes and mac & cheese to go with it? And aspargus!!!

What to do...

Aaron got home around 4 instead of 2 like he thought. But he is a teaching a class for work so that is a good thing. Laundry, guestroom, dishes....all done. We are now sitting downstairs watching Underdog...it is a cute movie I guess. But watching a movie with Gabe is hard because he has to be the center of attention all the time it feels like. So, we have to keep telling him to be quiet.

If anyone is looking to do anything tonight let me know. I am bored.

Disneyworld

We are all set and ready to take Gabe to Disneyworld end of May!!! And I think I found someone to keep Zeke so that we can just take Gabe alone...the 3 of us. I want him to be able to enjoy his alone time with Aaron and I. I have one person said they would do it , and then my mom offered to fly down and do it. So we will see.

About time...

We finally got the $500.00 we had been waiting for since October....long story....but thank God it came today!

What a day!

So today started off bright and early! I had to go for a check-up with the foot Dr. and had to bring both boys. Not a big deal at all. Gabe was really good. I packed him some homemade trail mix, and he had a few books and brought those. He did however, spill trailmix all over the Dr. office floor. He picked all of it up, and proceded to eat it anyway. Whatever right? We then went to the library, got a ton more books and even books to help me plan for Disney. We went to Kim's and went to the library in Anapolis and picked up a book they had on hold for us. She showed me downtown, which I had never seen before!!! It is really nice! I can't wait to explore there! She made us a great lunch, then we came home and picked up the living room before Aaron gets here. Now I just have some dishes to do and laundry to start. Zeke is pissy so I better go!

yummmm-o

I just found and made a really good chocolate cake....it was/is so moist and fluffy....yummo

What to dooooo.....

Today we woke up and Gabe had hardly any voice. I gave him a sore throat lollipop and that seemed to help. So now, he can talk again, just sounds really scratchy still. Zeke seemed to sleep really well last night, maybe because we didn't go to bed till midnight? I am not sure.

We didn't go to church today because of Gabe. But we went and got diapers and some other things we forgot yesterday morning. Found Gabe a new movie and now he is up resting in his room watching it.

I think maybe Aaron and I will play Risk in a bit, but I am not sure. I am starving but don't know what I want. Any ideas? I am thinking about making a cake but I am not sure if I have everything to do it. Although I could make it from scratch....vanilla sounds good....I am just going on and on with nothing important, so I guess I will go play some online games until Aaron decides if he wants to play Risk.

Settlers....

So, I had a wonderful time with Spencer, Kim, Katherine, and Joe playing settlers tonight. Aaron and Gabe went to his friend Alex's house, otherwise he would of gone to. I think I am addicted....oh yeah and...I WON!!!!

I can't wait till Sarah gets back and we can have a HUGE game...:)

Oh by the way, Sarah, I hope you get into your black dress:) I can't wait to see pics. I am sure you are going to look just great.

Anyway, after a semi late night, I am relaxing with some online games waiting for Aaron and Gabe to get home.

Kim, thanks for dinner, cake, and making me pretty:) I love you !!!!

Just ugh today

Well it all started yesterday when Aaron went to get the license plates for our new car from the dealership. He ran into Bill, who is the guy that we reffered to Matt about renting the townhouse when we moved out. He told Aaron that his realtor contacted Matt's realtor about renting the home. Matt's realtor told Bill's realtor that the house wouldn't be ready for several months because WE had DESTROYED the home. Bull crap! I am SOOOO mad !!! I am hoping that the JAG letter gets to them soon because I am not sleeping over all this crap. I am letting it stress me out TO much! It is effecting the way I am treating my family, and that isn't ok. I don't owe them crap! And we DID NOT DESTROY that house! Anyone who knows us....anyone who helped us move out, knows that we are not like that.

So, then we went to IKEA this morning to return a crib we had bought for Zeke. We were returning it because someone gave us a crib that is in wonderful condition. We drive 45 minutes to IKEA only to find out they won't take it without a recipt. I didn't want the money back, I just wanted store credit!!! They said it is a new policy that just went into effect a few weeks ago! UGH! It is BRAND NEW in a NEVER opened IKEA box!!! It is IKEA product! Why can't I just get store credit? So, now we have 2 cribs and 1 baby...

On another note, we got Gabea new big boy carseat for my car. And it is so much easier to get him in and out of the car now! I am so glad! We also got him some Disney preschool games to help with the home schooling. Brought some books back to the library, and now we are just hanging out. I am trying to calm down from the events of the last 24 hours. But nothing seems to be helping. I just keep thinking that this isn't going to go our way and we are going to have to come up with all kinds of money we don't have. Aaron and everyone else says that isn't going to happen and I just need to calm down. But it is hard to do when all you do is worry.

The start of this blog..

So to start out I guess I should update everyone on what has been going on since we last wrote family letter.....months ago! Ezekiel James Morgan was born dec 17, 2008 at 7:42 pm. He weighed 10lbs and was 21 3/4 inches long. He had a lot of hair, but not as much as Gabe had. We moved out of our SMALLLLL townhouse into a beautiful home that is just the right size. Gabe has a WONDERFUL backyard to play in, and I can't wait till summer comes and we can have BBQ's with friends.

Aaron is still active duty Navy stationed at Ft. Meade in Maryland. He will be active duty until October of this year when he gets out! Still deciding what to do from there. There are a few options we are weighing out right now.

Me, Erin, is enjoying being a stay at home mom. Sometimes I miss work, but only for a passing moment:) I have made some great friends that I spend a lot of my time with . Which is helping me a lot. It was hard a few months back when I didn't really have any friends that lived close to me. I managed and thought I was ok being alone, but now that I have people, I realize I wasn't ok with it. I just made myself be ok with it.

Gabriel was going to preschool until the other day when Aaron and I took him out. There was some things going on that we didn't agree with and decided he was better off at home with me. So, yesterday was our first day of "home school" preschool. We had fun. I will get to that in minute:) He enjoys playing outside, watching Tv*of course*, video games, and reading with me and Aaron.

Ezekiel is just a blessing to have around. What a good baby he is, just like Gabe was. He hardly ever cries and is basically sleeping through the night, waking up maybe twice, but usually once. He is starting to smile ALL THE TIME! And he is TYRING to laugh but he just can't get the noise out. Although, he did giggle in his sleep the other night. He is such a BIG boy though. He has already changed so much, not only in obvious growth, but his features are changing as well.

So, with all that said I can get into the "blogging" part.

Yesterday was our first day of "home school" preschool. And we did ALOT. We went on a nature walk and were gone for about 2 hours. We had so much fun and found so many interesting things. Lots of birds and leaves. Then after Aaron got home Gabe took his FIRST trip to the library! He got his own library card and he was SOOOO excited. I was SOOOO excited to! We had so much fun. He got a few books, and a few DVDS. We are going to go back this morning before we meet the girls for a walk around the mall.

That brings me to another point, Gabe , Zeke, and I are going to be going walkign everyday outside when it is nice, and at the mall when it is not so nice. I am hoping it will do 2 things, 1. help me loose Zeke weight and 2. help Gabe to be able to walk for periods of time for 2 reasons walking to school in Sep. when he starts Kindergarten, and walking when we take him to Disneyworld for his birthday!

Yes, we are taking Gabe to Disney for his birthday. We will be leaving here and driving down, May 26th and comming back June 1. We are NOT telling him we are going. We are just going to wake him up, put him in the car and go. We are so excited about this!

So now that everyone is caught up, and I blogged for the morning, I am going to go get everyone ready for the day!

YAY!

This is for you and you know who you are:) WE FINALLY GOT A BLOG!!!!!

Love,

Aaron, Erin, Gabe, and Zeke
