Thankful

We had a great "Shepard Thanksgiving" Jan and Bruce came the night before and it was so fun for us to have them all to ourselves. My kids loved it. I loved seeing Jan in her element( in the kitchen) and I'm in awe. She truly loves the whole process of making a wonderful meal for her family. You can feel and taste it. Waking up to warm zucchini bread was a huge plus too.

Life these last few months as my iphone sees it

First few weeks with Violet

This is pretty much all we did the first 2 weeks, and against all my normal rules we still sleep like this at night

Well 3 kids is a little more of an adjustment. To say the least, Steele has a little more freedom for mischeif

1st Grade ended for Chloe. Can hardly believe she will be in 2nd grade. She got an award For "Her Eagerness Towards Helping Others"

Violet on the go...With the 2 others sometimes we have to throw schedule to the wind.

"Hold Her" Is what her big brother always says.

Can't believe this was 8 weeks ago

Chloe is an amazing big sister and helper to mom.

Father's Day

We had a great Fathers Day. The kids were so excited to make dad breakfast and give him there present (box of all his favorite treats). Then that evening Bruce, the Snyders, and the Weavers all came down for a BBQ. We feel so lucky to have so many great dad's in our lives!
