Kids, kids, kids, kids and a dog

Once again I've been a terrible terrible blogger - you can't even call me a blogger anymore

Here are a lot of picture of the kids with a few captions

Evan...doing my darnedest to get a shot of him smiling because it's so cute!

Evan is doing amazing. Last weight in he was 8lbs 13.5oz

he's right on Abby's heels!

A lot of Isaac -

Isaac has entered the stage where he demand attention

It's hard to deny him when he's so cute!

Abbster aka Abby/Abigail is also doing great

9lbs 12.5oz! Also so darn cute!

Noah; our moth to the flame ~also known as~ anything messy

Heaven forbid he sit on the couch as intended

or on anything as intended

or use anything as intended

Hand down the pants? Yes, often, if not up the nose

He'll grow out of it right?

Noah and Mason

It's been a bit since Josie got a little limelight

Oh, any still loving costumes!

moth to mess

Big crash

Because a hose fight with Walker in January is a good idea

BTW one of my all-time fav pictures

There you have it. All the kids are healthy and happy and growing great.
Next steps for 2014:
Noah - Start Transition Kindergarten in August '14
Isaac - Hit the big 2 in March and start pre-school in June '14
Abby & Evan - Grow, grow, grow and grow!

Go big, right?

Fairly proud of myself for the delicious New Years Eve dinner I pulled off. Such a great way to end the year and welcome the new!

Christmas and more

I know, I know...once again I've been a slacker! Here's the update starting with the most recent of events.

Baby Weigh In 12/26/13-
Abigail Yvonne - 9lbs!
Evan Michael - 7lbs 10oz!
They are doing excellent! Abigail has blessed us with a couple complete nights of rest for here. Little Evan is not there just yet, he's taking longer rests through the night so hopefully not too long.

The big boys are still loving the littles.

Great G'pa Papa

Mr. I not loving Santa

Christmas Eve

Christmas morning

After 1 present and stockings we had to take a 2 hour break 

so DH could put together Lego sets totaling 990 pieces!

The break alled me to enjoy my coffee and this little guy.

Christmas dinner! So much fun!

Back together again

Life as we now know it

Evan is home!!

DH, Abby and I spent the past several day at the hospital with Evan preparing and anticipating bringing him home. He had amazing care, if he could talk I bet he would like to go back to the calm, soothing and tranquil place he's called home for the past two months. 

Now he has BIG Brothers!!

Car seat Test

Tummy Tube practice

Last few minutes - 

this moment was very reminiscent of that with Noah when we left the hospital

Home at last - First Family Photo 

It has been an interesting journey and I hope to some day have more time to document it. Not enough time or arms seems to be the constant state I'm in. Our hearts are full and we are so looking forward to each day with each of our beautiful children. Each has made us better people and I could not imagine life any different that what it is. We are truly blessed.

Holiday Fun

I know I'm skipping ahead and over Thanksgiving, I'm sure I'll get those pictures posted at some point.

Trimming

Lighted Truck Parade

Jingle Bell our Scout Elf...he's a good one!

All in the nick of time
