Marker Mess

Raelyn is starting to get into everything!  She sure loves the freedom (and mess) that crawling and cruising affords.

garden

We put in a garden a week or so ago.  We still have room for a few more tomato plants but so far we have peas, green beans, beans, bell peppers, pumpkin, tomato, and carrots.  Wish us luck.  We'll need it.  Now that it is blogged, I'm accountable.

Ode to the wrap!

Maybe that's a bad title... but I seriously love my wrap.  I have memories of lugging carseats around or pushing strollers while baby is screaming.  Dark memories of trying to quiet baby down while pushing with one hand.  People watching and giving dirty looks.  But, not anymore.  Raelyn loves her wrap.  At Leu's garden we looked at the flowers together until she started making little fussy sounds and kept laying her head down on my shoulder so I put the wrap over her head and she was out in minutes. OK so granted sometimes there is a little fussing to get her to sleep but nothing like before.  And I just love her cuddles while she sleeps- and no more sore aching arms.  I think I have become, at least while we are out and about, a babywearer!  I'll be sad when she gets to heavy to wear.  With Ella, I use to feel guilty that while we were at the zoo I wasn't able to get her out of her stroller more and show her the animals.  I felt bad that I didn't interact with her more.  I don't have that guilt anymore with Raelyn and I feel like I have more time for the older ones as well.  OK I'll stop rambling.  I'm probrably already going to regret this post because it includes a picture of me.

Leu's Garden

We went to a Garden in Orlando this past week.  It was really pretty.  We had fun taking pictures of the kids and some of the flowers.

LONG overdue

Those that checked on us, I'm sure have given up!  It's been so long since I've updated my blog!  In the last few months we had Halloween, trips to Sea World, Caden's Birthday, a two week vacation in Arizona, Christmas preparations, Gingerbread house making, A nativity night, Juliana's 5K, Christmas, a camping trip, and Ella's birthday.   Phewww!  It's been busy but fun.   There is so much I could write but there is no way that I could write about everything and do it all justice.  My favorite part was the vacation to AZ.  It was so much fun to see almost ALL our family and so many of our dear friends.  We love you all!  I've added a few pictures and I will hae to get more off of the camera later so I can add more!  The pictures are in no particular order!
