This is taking forever

Okay, so I didn't realize it would take me this long to update everyone on our life. But it looks like we have been busy... So here is the cliff notes update till today!

the kids said hello to Rosa Parks at a local attraction

the kids played house with my baby

who is the most adorable thing ever

went to town on some local transportation...c learns to pick out her own clothes and mom could care a less, as long as she is dressed!

G gets a follow up ultrasound at the children's hospital here. All is well, no kidney problems! Yeah! We really weren't worried, but made for a cute picture in the big ole bed :)

G starts to eat solid foods and loves it. He should, we waited until "things were settled" before we realized things would never be settled and just went for it. He is 7 months old now and we are just getting going with 2 meals a day :) So much more laid back with the 3rd.

J starts refusing to take naps, but still needs them and falls asleep sitting up in the living room. C stopped taking naps at 21 months and J is close he is 27 months. Hopefully G will be my baby who takes a nap until Kindergarten!!!

C loves her brother. She took a hiatus from asking God for a girl baby after she realized how much time G took away from "mommy time" with her...then she said we need another baby but Daddy would take care of the baby...now just tonight she asked God again for another "girl" baby! Ha!

She also loves her other brother. They share a room here and love it!!!! J made the transition great from a crib right into a bed with sis. She insisted they have matching PJ's

I mean seriously, couldn't you just eat him up :) He is always this happy

Oh yeah, our basement flooded...about 4 inches of water on the entire bottom floor. Fun times.

Had to escape the stress of no playroom, flooded stinky house so we went to the Beach with some fun friends.

smiling again and almost sitting...has been crawling for a month now but won't sit still long enough to sit

C is soooo excited to be playing soccer!!!!

new big boy carseat!!!

I think she is even more excited to be starting Preschool. We love love love her school. She goes 5/week from 9-12 and is really enjoying it...J misses her like crazy and after 2 weeks still cries when we drop her off.

the highlight of her classroom...a guinea pig names Cooey. If you know C you know she LOVES animals...so cool.

We went to see Thomas...huge hit with the little guy

and a BUNCH of more trains

C started dancing...she is clueless but seems to like it

G finally got to wear his Babylegs!! Aren't they adorable...and he has the most amazing daddy ever. Look at him just holding his little finger. I think I was in the store and he was fussing and C was taking pics from the back.

Wooooo Hooooooo we got carpet again in the playroom. That only took THREE WEEKS!!!

some more house pics...these are as good as it gets. If you looks closely you will probably see a) dirt-because it seems that "picking up" is as far as I ever get these days. I never get to the actual cleaning part b)moving stickers-still finding them everywhere c) things already falling apart and needing attention that we don't have to give. Like the curtains that are falling down in two rooms... I would someone to tell me how their family gets it all done :(



see told you...it's bad I know. But I am just keeping it real :)

These are from today and make me happy to see my baby so joyful. We are loving life with our kids these days. Sooooo blessed to have N home. Looking forward to a fun fall.
