Luke

Luke made each of his friends Valentine pictures.  It took him about 2 days of hard work and lots of planning to finish them.  I think they are amazing and he is honestly the coolest kid ever!  I am a little sad to give the pictures away but I know how excited he is to show his friends.

Luke's imagination blows me away.  He is so smart and creative.  Ms Carla told me he has begun writing books and drawing pictures each morning.  He even helped other children to create their own stories.  This is not the first time I have heard how he helps his classmates.  Last year Ms Alyssa told me if a child ever had trouble with a puzzle they would always send Luke over to help.  And sure enough Luke would have the puzzle completed in no time!

I'm so proud of him and know he is destined to become someone great!  I secretly hope he becomes an architect so he can build me a house :)  He has already promised to marry me and never EVER leave me.  Oh, how things will soon change.  But for now I'm holding on extra tightly to the little boy who gave me the most important title in my life.  Mommy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

9-10 months

Baby Girl:

Can say "uh oh", mama, dada

Can put her arms up and down when we ask her too.

Her bottom teeth came in at 8 months and the top 2 teeth are just coming in now.

She started crawling at 9 months and now starting to pull up.

She also had her fist cold :(

Evangeline is the sweetest little girl on earth.  Luke is right when he says we all love her to another outter space :)

PS - she is almost 20 pounds!!!  Might out weight her brothers at a year.  :)

Baby 8 months

Good bye original sin - Hello bottom teeth!

Baby was Baptized on 12/2/12 and the same weekend she also got her first tooth!

She is changing so much and it is hard to believe that she is close to 9 months!  I just want to bottle all 3 up and keep them like this forever.

Evangeline is REALLY trying to figure out how to crawl now.  She can sit up and started that about a month ago.

She is so funny.  When she is on all fours she goes backwards.  It TOTALLY frustrates her too.  So funny!  It makes Luke and Ryan crack up.  They try and show her the right way but she is just not there yet.  I'm secretly happy about that!  I need to face the fact that pretty soon I will have 3 mobile kids!

6 months!

Our sweet girl is now 6 moths!!

She is the sweetest baby girl on earth.  Baby is eating solids now.  She loves bananas and sweet potatoes.  Feeding takes a while and she still is trying to figure out the whole thing.  It helps if I give her a spoon to hold while I try and feed her.  She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth so once she gets moving we will need to do some serious baby proofing around here.

Luke and Ryan continue to be the best big brothers ever.  Ryan will only wash his hands for baby.  I swear he wipes his hyney with his hands and asking him to wash them is like pure torture to him!!  BUT our rule is if he wants to hold baby hands must be washed.  He never complains about that :)  Ryan loves his little sister too much.  Luke is wonderful as well.  He always enjoys teaching her new things.  He will show her how he brushes his teeth or all his toys.  Right now Luke loves his super hero coloring books so he will color right next to baby and tell her all about the pictures and who the super heroes are.  She LOVES it.  Luke and Ryan are as constant to her as I am.  She really does light up at the sound of their voices and without fail breaks the biggest smile when she sees them.

I feel so lucky everyday when I get to look into my rear view mirror and see each of my precious children.  They are my everything and completely perfect to me.
