7 Months Old

Our sweet, precious sis is 7 months old right now...almost exactly! One year ago today we found out she was a girl... which always just felt right. Brother is so special and LOVES his sisters with his whole heart! Here is her highchair picture...holding her favorite food...graham cracker!
I was playing around trying to see how a bow looked and got a few cute shots!


This one is blurry but captures her personality so well... happy, happy baby!

She loves sitting and watching what is going on and can't wait to join the fun! The dog is one of her favorite family members to watch! She also doesn't mind her tummy... she actually has lifted her tummy off the floor a few times. Somehow I don't think she'll wait until 9 months to crawl!

She's not eating chocolate... just loves to chew the bag... any bag. I don't know why I am keeping all of these toys... she loves all things that are NOT toys. She will empty a toy box just to play with the box!

Fresh Air

Here are a few pictures to show how much fun we (especially brother!) had enjoying the sunshine on Sunday! Lil sis was taking a rare but long afternoon nap! He saw dunks at he game on Saturday and thought he'd try... pretty good!
I guess he saw some celebrating too?

My Guys

She spent most of the time coloring...what else... but thought it looked fun enough to join in!

Louisburg College

On Saturday, daddy took the big children to Louisburg College to enjoy a men's basketball game.

Crocs & Fun & Love

After avoiding these shoes the first few years they were out... our family LOVES our Crocs...except daddy! Today we broke out our new ones. They seriously wear them out!
Love Sweet Love

After mommy was "done"... he continued to love on her so I kept going too!

These shots show how much he truly loves his lil sis!

Loving her but eyes on football!

She began to fall and he thought she wanted to tackle...he was so gentle!

She got him!

Big Sis to the rescue!

What Keeps Us Busy

Here are the older two's passions:

Hers is coloring, drawing or anything crafty. Her hands are usually rainbow colored! Above is a master piece she created in art class in school. The newest Van Gogh? My favorite part is the church in the middle of it all! Awesome!!

Ok, seriously I can't tell you how many times he has watched the Liberty Bowl or Super Bowl! But I can tell you he KNOWS his football and watches it nonstop. He has mastered double digit numbers as well as football lingo...multiples of seven are next! Super!

Happy Valentine's Day

We love everyday and try not to get caught up in "extra" holidays... but the children love Valentines Day... could it be the candy? This morning we enjoyed some sweets together. However, mommy is not sharing her chocolate covered strawberries! Krispy Kreme... Yummy!

More Snow

Today's snow was perfect in my book...except I didn't get to see it fall! It came, was beautiful, we played a little, its almost gone! I am not a fan of it sticking around and messing with the roads! The children acutally enjoyed it better today as well because it was good snow to play in! I love the background... the trees are so pretty covered in snow!

I did make her get down... after I got a fun picture!

Lil sis just took it all in... next year will be fun for her!

My loves!!

We finally remembered to get grandma's sled!

Dad tried from downhill...

and quickly moved uphill!!

The snowball fights were great this time!

Presenting the First Foster Snowman!!!!

Dad took a ride downhill... no pictures going down because I was capturing that on video!

FUN, FUN and glad its gone by sunset!

Valentine Celebrating at Preschool

Today we surprised brother by showing up for his party at preschool! He looked surprised! I love this boy and that smile!!!

Sister got to join the fun!

After celebrating, I thought I'd try to get a picture of my 3 darlings together... planning ahead for the Christmas calendar :)! This is a chore for sure!!!

OK, this one shows them for sure... his football face, her adoring him, her being sassy... I captured them perfectly if I do say so myself!!

Lots of love!

He dove into his treats right away! I was impressed as was he with the homemade treats! Yes he took the wrapper off to eat after being silly!

Just for her..

LOOK! A bib was made just for our messy eater! Its called the bbib (ba-bib).
She is wearing long sleeves while learning to eat and staining lots of cute tops...unlike brother and sister who learned this in the summer. Perfect! Now I wish I had ordered a few!
