Oh our Christmas fun!
We were all very sick, but still managed to have a great Christmas. Santa normally just puts the kids 3 presents in a pile with their stocking. Unwrapped. This year he wrapped them. We all agreed it was more fun. The kids had a blast opening presents and really seeing what each of them got. Here's a few snaps:
Santa sure enj...

Riley's Xylophone
November 15, 2013
Riley came home with what I think is her first big school project. She was supposed to make a simple instrument with 4 different sounds, neat, and with no broken parts. She had to make a flow map of the steps she used. Then she had to write at least a 5 sentence paragraph with an opening sentence, body sentences, and a closing sentence. The instrum...

Charlie's 4th Birthday
November 13, 2013
4 parties for the 4 year old (oops)
We were keeping the celebrating light this year. We invited grandparents and Nanny over for dinner and cake (party 1). Mimi's car battery died and she wasn't able to make it over to celebrate Charlie's planned party, so Denis took the kids to see her a few days later (party 2). Nanny couldn't come because of a p...

PUMPKIN CARVING
Preparing for a pumpkin carving contest at The Olive Garden made my house look like a pumpkin patch for a few days.
We got rained out for trick or treat, but trudged along anyhow. I forgot to take a picture of the four kids together before we left the house. We had Rapunzel, a Power Ranger, Sofia the First, and Dorothy. By t...

Paul's room was one of the few rooms we didn't paint when we moved in. Here's 4 before pictures and then the afters:
There's a new blog feature so that when you roll your mouse over a picture a title and caption will show if I chose to put one. Make sure you don't miss those words or you'll miss the story. I did just discover that this feature doe...

These sweet girls
September 17, 2013
I haven't been pulling the camera out much lately, so when I did they girls were cooperative. The both hammed it up and had the best time together. I am really having a good time seeing their relationship change now that Riley and Paul are in school every day. It is definitely changing for the good.

Oh Toledo Fun!
What an awesome family tradition! The kids have a blast EVERY year! We missed last year because of hurricane Isaac. Two years ago when we left the kids asked the moment we got in the van, "when are we going back?" They asked at least 3 times a week for an entire year! They were so upset when we couldn't go because of the hurricane....

New Baby
September 05, 2013
Our new baby!
We went for our anatomy scan today. I think I've been praying for a healthy baby non-stop. Whew! So far all is well. Our baby is breech right now. Good news is I'm only 20 weeks so there's plenty of time to flip. However, prayers are much appreciated. This momma does NOT want a C-section!
Is it a boy or a girl?
Paul has been sayi...
