Time flies

My how time flies. It was ten years ago to the day that Mike and I found out we were going to parents for the first time. It was was about this time ( 6 pm-ish) that I think we were both still staring at dinner in a complete daze. Our lives were about to change.

For you see we had been told about a year before, that it would be impossible for us to conceive naturally. Obviously God had other plans. Three other plans to be exact. :)

Tim @ 9 years old

As I sit here tonight, I have my youngest on my lap trying to see what I am doing, my middle child is not feeling so hot; she is sprawled out on the couch. My son is laying on the floor playing with the dog. I am amazingly blessed to have such awesome kids. I am even more blessed to have a wonderfully, awesome husband to help me raise the kids. However, I realize how much my cup overflows when I think about how God granted my hearts desire. I had wanted to be a mother for so long. I had almost given up... But God knew.
He had plans. I will write more on all that later... For now just let me say God is good. Be patient. It really is God's timing. Really.

Tim @ 3 months old

Growing up

Well Erika is now officially 4 months old. I cannot believe it has only been 4 months. Erika is growing like a weed... or rather a flower that is beginning to unfurl it's petals.
Her list of new things this month:
✿She can now hold her bottle all by herself for extended periods.
✿She is very vocal and will let you know when she likes something by smiling and giggling.
✿She will let you know when she does not like something by looking at you like you are crazy and then crying.
✿She likes tummy time and is already tying to get her knees up underneath her so she can try and crawl.
✿She has now turned into "Ms. GrabbyHands" and grabs everything in site, which then is promptly put in her mouth.

So, just when we thought it was safe to let Tim and Lex have little toys, they are now banned from the living room, and we are trying to figure out what to do about the girls room. Lex is at the stage where she like Barbie and princess... and ALL the little pieces that come with those.

I wanted to post her monthly teddy pics:

Enjoy!
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Growing up

Well not only is my son growing up... my youngest daughter seems to be in warp speed to catch up with her brother and sister. We discovered this past weekend that she likes to stand in the exersaucer at our church. At three months you think she would sit there and just chew on things... not this girl. She fully figured out how to spin herself around. I have a feeling Lex is going to have some competition in the daredevil category.
