Here we go again...

I think we might be a little crazy but here we go. This fall we will be homeschooling Em, saying goodbye to daddy again and having a new baby. Yep, I am sure we are crazy! Zachary will likely be gone when the baby is born so we could use your prayers as we go through this time apart. Thankful for all my family that has already said they will come and help me. So far this pregnancy has been just like the other two...sick all day long and very tired. Em is sure there will be a boy baby for daddy and a girl baby for mommy.  I have assured her there is only one baby this time. We are excited to be a family of 5 and can't wait to meet the little one!

Enjoying the sunshine

Last weekend we were able to finally enjoy some warm sunshine and play in the water. It was so nice to sit outside and watch both girls just having a blast. I am so glad that both the girls love the water. Clara will find the littlest amount of water anywhere and play in it.  She loved it when daddy got out the pool and filled it up for her. We are looking forward to it getting a little warmer so we can start heading to the community pool.  I don't think it will take any time at all to pick back up on what she learned last year during swim lessons.

Our 5 year old

Em and I had such a fun time on this photo shoot. It was just her and I enjoying being silly together! I need to remember to do more things one on one with our kids! I couldn't decide which one was my favorite so I am sharing them all with you!
This sweet girl is so much fun. She has such a sweet generous heart. She loves to play with Clara and Clara absolutely adores her big sister. She loves to learn and reminds me everyday that we need to do school. I am looking forward to homeschooling her this next year and seeing her learn to read and write! She has her daddy's sense of humor and is always saying the funniest things. I love this little 5 year old and am so thankful for the blessing she is to our family!

Happy Birthday Em

Em has been so excited to be five for awhile now. When she woke up on her birthday she asked since she was 5 now if she could go school. She was very bummed when I told her that she would have to wait to go to school. When she came downstairs and saw presents waiting for her everything about going to school was quickly forgotten. Since she woke up bright and early she was able to open a few presents before Daddy left for work. The rest we decided to wait until dinner that night. She requested her favorite hot dogs and chips for dinner and then we took her out to ice cream where we all shared a huge Sundae. She also requested to go to Starbucks that afternoon and I am never one to turn down that request. The day was very laid back and enjoyable. Saturday was the day of her party with her friends and she was very much looking forward to that. We surprised her by getting a hello kitty jump house and she loved it. She wanted a rainbow party so we made rainbow cupcakes that turned out very cute. We kept it simple and it turned out very fun.

Homecoming

WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!
