Life

I've been painfully behind on blogging lately as we have been crazy busy... Unfortunately I'm not sure it's going to improve (ever!) - we just keep getting busier and busier. I had a dream (or rather nightmare) last night and the kids were older... I had a dream about all the kids having different interests - Bria played soccer, Aven ran track, Stevie played the violin and Declan played hockey - and Andy and I couldn't be everywhere all at once! That will be just our luck :-)

Here are some pictures and commentary from the last few weeks... Bria and Stevie post bath (they will always be babies to us :-))

Declan had a Thanksgiving celebration at school - he was an indian. He was actually really well behaved during the entire program. The kid to Declan's left is his best friend Jordan - per previous post, you will find this funny...

Declan lost his first tooth!

The girls found their LOVE of popcorn just like big brother...

Classic family photo with Papa and Grandma Judy (Declan had to pee :-))

Aven and her reindeer...

Stevie with hers...

Stevie making out with the snowman...

Aven grabbing a stool to get a better look at the tree...

And shortly after Thanksgiving the kids outside not he trampoline - it was beautiful outside!

Bria got a little carried away with her stickers not he car ride.

This past week we had a holiday celebration at the girls school - it was so adorable. Stevie sat in her chair and listened the whole time. Aven was mostly engaged and Bria sat on the teachers lap the whole time :-)

Santa showed up at their party and Aven was the only one that didn't need to extra help meeting him :-)

Morning snack with friends - there is a set of twins in their class as well. The teachers told us the girls were pretty much celebrities in the school and everyone loved them. So adorable - we love their teachers!

Stevie strutting her stuff in my shoes - they all are obsessed with taking my shoes out of my closet and wearing them all around the house :-)

The girls have been really into singing lately and actually have been pretty accurate - it's amazing to see how much their speech has developed over this past month... Here's their rendition of Jingle Bells.

Andy and I were also able to take mini vacation and go to San Fran (Andy's Mom, Aunt and Uncle took care of the kiddos). We went to a concert, sent time with an old friend and had an AMAZING time.
