He's doing much better now (2 hours later-) after meds and a cold rag, unlimited and unhealthy amounts of M & M's and Cheetos, Thomas and Friends and then Buzz and Woody marathon snuggled up on the couch with a fluffy purple blanket. At this point, I'm ruling out the broken part, he's pretty much back to normal, but when he talks he sounds like he's plugging his nose and it's starting to get black and blue... ouch. We'll see how the next few days go...but he's going to have a new look after this, i can tell.
Later on in life when he complains about his nose, I'll remember this moment and say...remember when Daddy told you and Caitlin to settle down... and then bam... you ran right into that wall? Oh, these moments are the ones you wish you could take back... change... esp. as a parent, it's sad to see them like that...It seems like everyone has a 'nose' story. Justin gave a girlfriend of his a bloody nose once when he went to put his arm around her, her whole family being in the car with them, and BAM, with his elbow... ha.
I had an unfortunate run-in with a snow shovel when i was 13... my nose has never been the same since (remember that Chrissy?).
But poor Will...What is it about 4 year-old boys?? It's like they have huge magnets in their heads that just draws them to hard objects. Just last Saturday, (Moving day)...he decided to be a little adventurous and take a ride down our new drive way on his three wheeler! Only, our new drive way is known as 'the sledding hill' in the neighborhood! it did not go so well... goose egg city! (There's a reason why we call him Willy Bonka!) Love the kid...
So, I'm home and he's resting, Brinley is scooting around the room (Justin and Caitlin are at church) and I thought i'd take advantage and catch up on Z-blog, because I'm sUper behind... and so many fun things have happened!
Let's begin...
Wednesday before Easter, I met my Sisters Amy and Shelly at IKEA in DC... we had a fun afternoon having lunch, shopping and the three older kids enjoyed an hour at the play land!! Amy took Caitlin and Will for a few days so Justin and I could get a few things done at the new house!!
Will, Caitlin, and Enoch
After a long drive home from DC, Justin and I were able to load up "Mater and Lightning McQueen" (Caitlin and Will named our Pilot and Camry, how cute is that?!) over and over and move a majority of our smaller things. We got alot done over the next few days! Thanks Amy for taking the kids... i konw they had A LOT more fun playing with cousins and Grammy and Papa than with their mom and dad!!
Friday, On our way up to PA we detoured through Washington D.C. to enjoy the Cherry Blossom Festival (also, it was out 8 year engagement anniversary, it was fun to be in DC where it all happened!).
Pretty pretty! It was SO beautiful AND SO BUSY!! We couldn't find a parking spot... so we just enjoyed the beauty from the car!
Em and Sua hosted us that weekend. We had so much fun being together as family and watching conference! Here's Grammy, handing out Easter gifts to the kids! (big kids got a copy of The Blindside! LOVE LOVE LOVE That movie! Thanks Mama Sue and Papa John!)
Pepper found some eggs, too! 
Lady bugs...
Brinley and Papa
Our Annual J & A Cra-Fam Easter Pic... (awesome!)
Sunday night we celebrated all the March and April Birthdays, we did a little walk-up-and-order-at-the-window-thing... the kids loved this! Enoch placing his order with Uncle Sua
This made me smile... (Will's Cup!)
babies: Isaac and Brinley
older cousins....Micah, Enoch, Caitlin, Will, Ada

uh oh... Catilin has "Beiver" Feaver???? I laughed out loud - by myself - when I read that. What have I done?
It was so much fun to have you all here!
Love this post! These pictures are so cute. Sorry to hear about Will's nose. Hope things heal nicely. I don't remember the story of your nose and the snow shovel. Too funny. Oh and glad to know Justin is a lot more graceful now. Ouch that must have really hurt getting bonked in the nose.
I absolutely remember the snow shovel incident! Poor Wilbur! I'm SO excited for your new home, I can't wait to see all the photos! Oh, and happy engagement anniversary!
