Soccer

It's official.  I am a soccer mom!  Soccer is not a sport that I desired my girls to play.  I didn't like it as a kid and it seemed rather boring to watch.  Lila Grace changed my outlook and I love that she did.  We spent many hours on the sidelines of a soccer field.  Lila loves the game and caught on quickly.  She has great speed which keeps her in the game.  We are going to a winter skill clinic which should help her develop the necessary skills she needs to keep the ball under control. We are thrilled that she loves the sport and that it is a sport she can call her own.  Her big sister doesn't play which is a nice change for Lila.  No longer is she the little sister that has follows in her big sister's footsteps.

Here is my soccer girl!

Braces No More!

After a year of braces, my big girl is metal free.  Savannah is the first of three that need to go through this.  I have my fingers crossed that Evelyn will escape palate expansion.  First, the palate is expanded to make room for the teeth.  Once the permanent teeth fill in, braces are used to pull everything into place.  It was a relatively quick and painless process except for the strain on my pocket book!

Here is Savannah on her last day of braces. 

 Brace free and straight teeth.

Halloween 2013

For Halloween, the girls were a spider witch, monarch butterfly, gymnast, and the cutest kitty ever!

Pumpkin carving with our nicu buddy!  The twins love pulling out all of the guts.  Savannah, not so much.  I am amazed at how much they can carve on their own!  No longer is it a stressful - "Mommy can you help, mommy can you help me, Mommy I need help!"

Seven Months

How can it be?!  My baby is growing and changing so fast.  The more kids you have, the busier you are and the faster time flies.  Sigh.

We are head over heals for her.  E is such a smiley baby . . . as long as she is with mommy or daddy.  Forget the fourth child, go with the flow attitude.  She has opinions and she, like all my other girls, likes to be right on my hip.  As long as we hold her, she is happy as can be.  I guess no one regrets holding their baby so we hold her LOTS!

Evelyn's latest milestone is sitting up.  She seems like such a big girl sitting up.  And so stinkin' cute!

Fall Fun

We are so lucky to live in a place that has farm after farm calling our name during the fall season.  The girls love visiting them and taking part in all the activities.  It is a tradition now.  Miss Evelyn fell right in line and hung with us without protest.  It's days like these that make me feel like the luckiest person in the universe!

Here are some pictures for a local township's community day.  Evelyn enjoyed her first hayride!
