Happy 5th Birthday Sara... and more!


Happy Birthday Sara! My niece turns 5 tomorrow. Wow...how time flies! We celebrated with her yesterday at her birthday party. It was a gymnastics party, and the boys had a wonderful time running, climbing, and jumping on the trampoline. And of course, I've included more photos that were taken over the past week. We hope all is well with everyone. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Tummy time and more

Lauryn had her 1st tummy time experience yesterday, and the boys thought that was so great...they had to join her! It was too cute! They were really into watching her lift her head and move around. She is a strong little one...but, I guess she'll need to be to keep up with her big brothers. :) And of course, we want to share other pics of the kids over the past few days. Hope all is well with everyone!

We're home!


We are home and adjusting well!  (Thanks to the help of family!:) )  Lauryn has been an angel...such a calm baby so far.  She has been doing great at night, so we can't complain there!  The boys have been doing great with her;  they like to bring her toys and sing to her with their new glowworms (they had to have one just like Lauryn's).  Grandma and Auntie Marion were here to help when we first got home and were a huge help.  Then, Nana and Grampy took the boys for the weekend, so we could have some quiet time with Lauryn for  a few days.  Nana brought the boys back on Monday (boy, did we miss them...it was so quiet here! :) and has been with us all week...which has been a lifesaver!  We are getting spoiled with her cooking, helping with all the kids, and getting up with Lauryn at night.  Thanks so much for everyone's help!
