Decade


10 years. 3 beautiful babies. 3 heartbreaking losses. 2 states. moves. new opportunities. goodbyes. laughs. tears. remodels. travels. stressful situations. quiet peaceful moments. joy. memories. adventures. lessons. dreams. faith.  Thank you love for 10 amazing years.  I wouldn't change a thing.

3 months

How can it be that it's already been 3 months since Beatrix joined our family? This little baby is truly living up to her name. Beatrix means "one who brings happiness" and that's pretty much a perfect description for our little girl. She's recently found her voice and loves being talked to. Luckily between mom, dad, brother & sister she's hardly ever without someone to entertain her. When she does have a little quiet time, however, she's perfectly content to stare up at her dancing bears or play with some soft toys (she's recently figured out those hands are good for doing more than just going in her mouth). Although she still isn't fond of the bottle, she's turning into a champion sleeper (8-9 hours at a time during the night). Here's a few photos of our smiley little girl!

Six

It's hard to believe our little boy is six years old. It doesn't seem like that long ago he was our only little one and now he's such an incredible big brother to two very lucky sisters.  Our six year old is getting ready for kindergarten in the fall and amazing us every day with his growing curiousity and knowledge of numbers, letters, reading, writing.  He's our helpful, thoughtful and empathetic child, always making sure that everyone is ok.  Just in the past year, his sense of humor has started to shine, and we always have a smile for his sarcasm.  We will always remember this birthday with the photos of his "wiggle-teeth", sticking out awkwardly, but not quite ready to come out,  and the day before his birthday spent at the dentist office getting two of his little baby teeth pulled to make room for new ones.  Such a brave boy, always ready to take on whatever life might have in store.  

Happy Birthday Isaac - your dad and I are so lucky to call ourselves your parents.  Hope you enjoyed your Lego/WaterFun/Superman party and here's to another wonderful year!
