Update!

To say an update is overdue is an understatement! It's been a busy year for us but full of exciting growth. After a long and unpleasant pregnancy Samuel David was born May 6th. He was 9lb 6oz and it was a smooth and easy delivery. John and Sarah have made the transition to 3 kids in the house 

well and we have all settled into life as a family of 5. John is a big helper and loves taking care of his 

baby brother. He attends preschool a few hours in the mornings and has improved his writing and drawing skills a lot so far. He loves to read and practice his letters and words. Sarah is becoming quite the adorable little girl. She talks and talks! She loves to cuddle in bed and play chase and she can't get enough stuffed animals and dolls! Sammy is a smiley and active baby. He just turned 6 months old and is growing so fast. He has his first tooth in, eats lots of fruits and veggies and nurses well. He loves to be around people, especially his big brother and sister!

Steve and I are busy, happy parents. We are enjoying every moment with the kiddos and without them too when we get the chance!

2013 a year in review

When I think about how time flies I can only conclude that 2013 was on light speed setting.  While our life as a family of four got a little busier and a little more hectic, it also got a lot more fun.

Sarah had many firsts this year; first steps, first word (mama), first food (applesauce), first ear infection just after Xmas day and her 1st birthday.  She is a very happy and smiley girl who loves to cuddle and make people smile.

John is a growing and learning machine! He grew 3 1/2 inches in 2013 and will surly be passing me up by the time he reaches double digits. He can spell and write quite a few words and numbers, his name and age being his favorite of course.  He loves to ride his big wheel super fast and unless I really push myself he can out run me in any race.

The end of the year also marked the end of my 4th month of pregnancy with baby #3 and a rough few months it was.  Steve and I are excited for the newest addition to arrive in May and enjoying our sleep each night while we can!  It's hard for us to believe that John will be 4 in just a few months and are constantly reminded to enjoy every moment with each other and our rapidly growing and changing children.
