Big Helpers

The transition to 3 children has been smooth because of the help the older 2 are... here is proof! Focus
He is helping her learn to hold things. She's sort of got the grasp but forgets quickly and drops.

She was up late Friday and really enjoyed watching hockey with us!

We sat her swing upright for a bit and they had a blast showing her "her" toys!

Happy, Healthy children are such a wonderous blessing!

Atlantic Beach Fall 2009

Our fall beach trip was later and shorter this year but tons of fun! We returned to Atlantic Beach last Friday to Monday. Saturday was a summer like day and the other were good for October. The children got one more swim in the ocean and pool. On the way through Jacksonville daddy talks to the children about the trees planted in memory of the victims of the Beirut bombing. This trip we stopped by the memorial. Look at him holding the Marine statue's hand... he was so proud!

Her first experienc at the beach... not too crazy about the breeze in her face!

Sweet or Sassy?

The beach is our favorite place away from home!

AWESOME!!

She LOVED looking at everything... especially the huge tank.

Our little climber... so thankful this developed later in life for her.

NC Aquarium

Playing Wii for the first time with Aunt Anne Marie.

The water slide is always fun... but should daddy have really gone down with both of them at once? They were saying "bad idea bathing suits" as they came down.

Angel!

The boys love to wrestle...anywhere works!

Beauty!

The view from the condo was breath taking... especially when I saw my children in a pool in mid October! They promised it wasn't too cold.

Her favorite part of a present.. the ribbon!

Sweetie!

Getting ready for Lil' sis' first night away from home. She did so well!

We had a blast!

Sweet Girl (s)

Little sis is usually quite vocal about being left out of bath time (that's a nice way to say she fusses for about an hour every night starting close to bath time!) Tonight was totally different! She was sooo sleepy. I tried laying her (safely) on our bed so I could see her during bath time. Look how cute Geli is and look at her sweet, peaceful - QUIET face! I might try this again!!!

Yes, just like big sister and brother... she loves her paci and blanket!

Privette Farm

Last fall, daddy and the children found a real cool family farm off of 401. This year, we all went to pick out pumpkins together. It was the perfect day. The the boys of the family were so friendly... loading our pumpkins and hay in the van and even carving pumpkin faces for the children.

Choosing pumpkins was hard work but putting together our fall display was fun... more pictures of that soon... have to wait for littl sis to join us!

Our Three Pumpkins

Today as I was putting our pumpkins from the farm on the porch I thought of our 3 sweet pumpkins. We are enojoying being a family of 5 so much. There is so much love in this home! SO I thought I'd share how our foyer hall looks now... all full!

Vollmer Farm

Today I spent 4 hours at a farm with 3 children...need I say more than FUN!!! Big sister's class went to Vollmer Farm in Bunn. It is such a wonderful educational farm. We actually saw where pumpkins grow... even yellow flowers and little greens ones still growingl He was a bit scared of the 100 ft. slide that went under ground so sister rode with him! How sweet is she!

My Three Pumpkins

He was so excited to take his picture is these wooden things... not her. I guess when you classmates are around and you're in Kindergarten its not cool? Oh my!

What a perfect day for a picnic lunch.

The corn pit was a hit!

The jumping pillow was fun. He had trouble getting up and she helped. They were so cute today. He followed her and she allow him too... mostly!

The hayride was interesting. I wasn't sure how to get baby sister on and they just hopped on before I could think. We were not together but they had a great ride and baby sister fell asleep!

Her Kindergarten class at the farm!

He love seeing the animals!
