Princess

Lots of requests to see the little princess. I haven't taken any recently, but I need to because she is soo cute with her little winter beanie and her pink boots.

These pics were taken in August while apple picking.

Family update.










Life is so busy with lots of little ones. Brad and I often find ourselves making eye contact over three roudy children about 7:00 each night, wondering, "is this really us?" 


But we couldn't be happier. Our children are happy and healthy, and were expecting another one in 8 weeks. We've been surrounded by family and friends and activities lately and are just livin life. 

Westley just turned 5 in October, and Miles turned 3 in September. Wes is really enjoying pre-school, and begs for play dates everyday. (not to mention x-box.) He is our little social bug. He often gets frustrated at restaurants because he tries to talk to the servers, but they often ignore him.  
 
Our sweet little quiet Miles has found his voice also. Once content to watch all the action, he now is soooo animated in his facial expressions and loves to converse. He loves doing puzzles and is really good at them.

Princess Belle is her daddy's little girl. "Hi Daddy!" she exclaims the minute he walks through the door. She tells you whatever she wants and loves to do what her brothers do. It's no surprise to peek in on her in nursery and see her "vroom vrooming" some cars around. 

Brad and I got back from Costa Rica about a month ago, we had a blast hiking waterfalls and discovering beautiful beaches.  Brad is still working in the financial industry, and we just count ourselves blessed to still be employed! I'm figuring out day by day how to be a mom, and a wife... and still a woman.  I find myself so easily caught up just going through the motions, and I have to remember how to be present for my family. I've been playing a lot of volleyball, and LOVE it. It's such a good release. I keep trying to scrapbook, and much like everyone else, I get excited when I'm only "1" year behind! 

I know its not much after 2 months, but kids are awake and duty calls!
