Yesterday was a quiet day, after all the commotion that’s been going on in our lives for the last few months it was kinda boring! So I took the kids outside to burn off a little energy and enjoy the day. Sophie was in a bad mood, which is quite unusual, so I put her up on Dalton’s bike and… Read More
Isabelle’s one year post-placement
We met with the social worker on Thursday to complete Isabelle’s last post placement report. The SW needed a picture of just the three of us for the report and I realized we didn’t have one! All our pictures have one of us with her, or the entire crew. We had to have Tori take this right before the SW… Read More
I love you too, XiaoXiao :)
This kid is so loveable. I mean, it doesn’t get much cuter, sweeter, and just plain ol’ adorable than Miss Sophie. She is loving and affectionate, loves to snuggle and has the most endearing mommy qualities. She loves to try to help and is always willing to lend a hand at any menial task I may be trying to accomplish…. Read More
Fun (or not so fun) in the sun
We set the sprinkler up in the yard the other day thinking it would be a sure fire hit with the girls. Well, it wasn’t. At first. The boys loved it from the get go and the girls warmed up to it after a while. Even while they were unimpressed with the sprinkler, they sure looked cute in their swimsuits…. Read More
Asher turns 7!
My sweet baby boy turned seven on Saturday. He, even though he is so big for his age, is my most endearing, tender hearted child. He has the kindest spirit…his prayers are the most sincere of all the kids at dinner. The other night he prayed that he and Zach and Dalton would grow up to be good dads and… Read More
Happy One Month Gotcha Day!
May 8 —— June 8 About one month ago, my mom met Sophie for the first time. As you can see, she has really blossomed and become part of our family. Even though she has only been with us for a little while, it is hard to imagine life without Sophie. Anyways, I’m sorry my mom can’t be writing this…. Read More
What makes it all better? Ice cream!
Sophie is sick. She got the bug Isabelle had that gave Isabelle a double ear infection. Well, this nasty bug gave Sophie some serious bronchitis, a fever and a general crankiness. We have been standing on our heads trying to please her, but sometimes it just isn’t enough. The picture of her crying was when Isabelle sat in the chair… Read More
going Hollywood
We were on our way to celebrate Tori’s straight A’s (yeah, Tori!) at Johnny Carino’s last night and we were being silly putting our sunglasses on the girls. They actually looked pretty stylish sitting in their sweet Britax carseats wearing some shades. I often wonder why I was content to put my older children in $50 car seats, but for… Read More
Just chillin’
We’ve been taking it easy lately, staying up late and sleeping in until about 10:00. The girls woke up this morning and decided to continue chillin’. Sophie climbed up on the couch and set herself up with a pillow and her thumb to watch her show with Isabelle. I have to admit, when I first saw Sophie sucking her thumb… Read More
Finally, some FUN!
The girls have been loving the new playset. It’s only been in the last few days that we’ve been able to take them out back for any amount of time since we’ve been so busy moving in and getting all our things organized and put away. Thank goodness there are two swings and two spots on the glider, they both… Read More
