Jane starts school too!

 After a few weeks of Jane and Emily hanging out without the big girls, Jane got to start her 3K early intervention class.

 Oh-- And she had a pretty epic head injury. She had lots of blood running that day, but no tears, just a funny concerned face.

 At first Jane didn't know which way her backpack was supposed to go--but with some help she got it turned around! She loved  being able to go to school with her big sisters. Love seeing these girls learn and grow.

Emily at 5 months

 She is so deliciously sweet!! Her tight baby curls give her such a similar look to her sisters. She has such a calm, easy going personality. We are so lucky to have her part of our group.

 Making Emily try on one of my favorite old dresses. She looks SO cute in it!

Back To School!!

School starts again! We have a 3rd grader and a 1st grader. These girls love school, and I hope that never ends! They love learning and socializing. Such great girls, their teachers love having them in class.

Summer winding Down

 Doing fuse beads with cousins several times this summer. The girls love those things!

 Working hard on the house! Jon insisted that our bathroom counter have plenty of counter space so that my stuff will never get on his side....we are so far apart we cant reach each other while standing at the sink. And my stuff now may or may not take up most of the counter space.

 And to document it-- I did help tile the house one day! I came home nasty...so we had to have a picture to prove it.

And the rest of summer we took it easy--relaxing and enjoying being a family!

Abigail's 6th Birthday Party

 Abigail had 2 requests for her birthday, to have friends play with her at the park, and a sleepover. So it was one easy party for me to plan! Store bought cupcakes, friends invited, and boom! This 6 year old's birthday dreams came true. She loved it immensely. Abby really is such a fun loving happy girl. It doesn't take much at all to make her happy. We love our Abigail!

Then we had our cousins that are Abby's age over for a sleepover. They loved it so much. And Kate got these stuffed animals from Uncle Bruce and Matt for her surgery--she was sweet enough to share with the girls at the party. They had so much fun, that the next morning they were wiped out! It was actually comical how tired they were the next morning.

Eye Muscle Surgery

 Kate had to have eye muscle surgery to help her eye be more in line. She was brave and did well, but poor girl--you couldn't help but feel her pain when you saw her poor eye afterward. The surgery recovery was quite painful, but it healed well and looks great now!
