They're off...to school!

They grow up so fast!  This is our first year with both boys in school all day... so the Little Miss and Mom will be home alone.  We miss the boys already!

Happy Valentine's Day!

At the very beginning of this video you can hear Livi saying "Happy Valentine's Day"- catch it quick!  She steals our hearts daily...

And so do these two!

Livi's Latest Fashion Trend

My girl loves her new "big girl panties" (Thanks, Graci!).  Evidently she also has an affection for puffed sleeves, much like Anne of Green Gables...

Now the next step in potty training is learning the correct use for those panties!

Missing our first girl

Today marks Ava's 3rd birthday.  Jas and the boys made me some cards and the tears instantly came.  I'm so glad we're in this together.

Dearest Ava, we do all miss you and we do all love you.  We know you are exactly where you are supposed to be, we just don't like being apart.  Someday our family will all be together again like in this picture and it's going to be amazing!  We love you so very much and not a day goes by that we don't think about you and wonder what life would be like with you here...

She's 2!

I cannot believe how fast the past 2 years have flown.  I can, however, believe that Livi is 2.  She acts every bit of it- and has for several months!  She is all girl and we are loving that.  We had a wonderful day with her yesterday.  She brings such joy to our home!  We love you, Livi Lou, happy birthday!

Merry Christmas!

A little Christmas miracle from our family... a photo with everyone looking at the camera the first time!  It's been a great one here- we're so thankful for God's blessings in our life and look forward to 2012!

Happy Halloween!

 

 

I know that last picture is blurry, but I thought it was so cute.  The Little Miss figured out what trick-or-treating was all about real quick.  She wouldn't say "trick-or-treat," she'd just peer into the bowl of candy, choose one (or two, or three- by the end of the night when she was very comfortable) and say, "Dank Doo!"  The girlie Tigger stole some hearts- and got extra candy because of the cute factor. 

The boys loved trick-or-treating.  It was our first year- most years we've gone to our church's Trunk-or-Treat.  It was really fun to spend time in our neighborhood and get to meet some of the neighbors. 

Can't believe it's November!
