Three Monthes Old

Wow time sure flies. It seems like our sweet baby girl was just born and yet here it has been three monthes already! She is growing fast and is starting to get some meat on her bones which is good as the weather is turning colder. She has found her hands and toes, she loves to drool and blow bubbles and is cooing and smiling regularly. She is so beautiful!

Two Months Old!

Yesterday was Annie's two month birthday. She is growing so fast and looking back at her pictures she has changed a lot. She is not as big as her brothers were at her age but she looks a lot like them. I always thought she looked like Conner when he was a baby, but when she smiles she looks so much like Kyler's baby pictures. She is very sweet, but will not sleep during the day without being held...but hopefully as we get her feeling better that will change.

Conner is loving school and growing so fast.

Kyler is also growing fast and it is fun to watch his own personality come out as Conner is at school.

Week 7

I can't believe our little Annie is seven weeks old!! It has gone so fast and yet so slow. Things are becoming a little more routine around here with Conner in school and Annie settling into a pattern of eating and sleeping. Conner loves school and we enjoy walking him and picking him up. Annie usually sleeps in the stroller and Kyler always has to give his brother hugs before we go. It is very sweet. Conner's teacher said that Conner is a very kind and sweet kid, very bright, but a bit of a daydreamer and seems to have his own time table....that sounds like our Conner! :) Annie has started smiling all the time and if you talk to her Annie's whole face lights up...it is so sweet. I tried to catch some of her smiles with the camera and here are the best.

Conner's First Day of School

Conner had his first day of school today and he was so excited!! He is growing up so fast! He had a good time and told me about playing on the playground until the teacher blew the whistle and about coloring his name. His teacher said he did great and he is excited to go back tomorrow.

All ready to go!

Here we are, wow there are a lot of kids!

6 Weeks

Annie is now six weeks! Wow, time is flying by. Things are moving along and she is trying harder and harder to smile. She can often get something that resembles one these days. But they are not so easy to catch on film.

One Month Old on Friday

Annie passed her one month mark on Friday and days seem to move so quickly. I still can't seem to get much done....but we seem to be getting the basics done. The boys seem to be adjusting well and can be very helpful if they feel like it. They really do love their baby sister and give her a kiss good night every night. It is so sweet. Annie is doing well and cutting the dairy out of my diet seems to have done the trick.

good morning

The cute outfit from Aunt Sharon.

The beautiful dress Aunt Jackie made.




This morning Kyler was standing in the front room with a determined look on his face. In his hand was a small rock and he was pounding it with his fist pretty hard. I then went back to what I had been doing and a little while later he brings the rock over and says "I could not make a house out of it, this rock is too hard."

When Conner came home from church the other day I asked him what he learned in class and he said, "well last week we learned about the two thousand scribbling warriors." So cute.

Week 4

Here are some new pictures from this week. It is hard to believe it has been 4 weeks since little Annie was born. She is growing quickly and is 9 lbs now! She is trying hard to smile and mimic facial expressions, it is very sweet.We are plugging along and hope the new changes in my diet will help. Thank you for all your thoughts, prayers and support it is all appreciated!!

We have had a busy last few weeks and many things to show for it. Perhaps the biggest event was the Malsbary Family Reunion. It was a week of fun and we all had a blast. I will get pictures up soon. I hope.... I go into to the hospital tomorrow and will have more news and pictures about that posted soon too...I hope.
