Our Big Girl

By Sarah

I have wanted to cry this week. I just can't get over how much and how fast Kaelah is growing lately. She is getting along on her scooter Chris gave us really well & has even tried out the tricycle we bought at a garage sale a coulple times. Our daily walks are longer & longer and Kaelah has begun chasing the cute dogs around the dog park. (She really likes Beagles.) When she wants picked up she feels so heavy and I wonder if people think I'm hauling around a 3-year-old she's so tall. Her play is becoming much more creative and almost every day she strings another phrase together. This afternoon she talked to herslef in her crib during her entire nap time. *Oh please, don't grow out of your naps yet!* Tonight she helped me peel the Clementines after playing with the dog in the back yard all by herself. Of course I had a glass door & both kitchen windows open & I constantly interrupted my cooking or Danny's baking to look out the window. Although he was kind enough to not say anything, you could tell he thought I was nuts. Well, overprotective at least. (:

It is amazing how they grow. I was just telling Adam last night how Naomi was turning in to a little person. How she was not quite the baby any more! Also I loved your post about your dog! Happy Birthday!

I miss naptime. Abigail quit before Bryant was born, and they are two years and four days apart. Just remember, worse things could happen than no nap time. I know many people that have insitgated a "quiet time" instead. That way mom can still get stuff done.

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
