What It's All About

Here is my perfect family. I say perfect not because I think we're anywhere near perfection, but because my husband and three boys are perfect for me. They teach me so much and I am grateful I get to spend my days with them. It has been a soul-searching year for us. We have learned honesty, forgiveness, kindness, the need to count our blessings, to comfort one another, to bear each others burdens, to keep our promises, to support each other, be true to each other, and to look after each other. I guess we need years like these every now and again to appreciate what it's really all about.

Connor @ 9 Months

The one and only picture this month. Poor third child.

This month he learned how to clap his hands on command (when we say, "Yay!")

Lagoon Day

We got free passes to Lagoon from Randy's work. It was the first time the boys and I had been. Of course we stuck to mostly the kiddie rides, but we all had a good time.

I love this picture of Andre helping Joshy with his seatbelt. I didn't ask Andrew to help him, he just did it. He looks after his little brothers.

Our First 5K

We did a podunk 5K this weekend. It was free and we could bring our circus, so we went for it. Joshy ran most of it (he refused to ride in the stroller or on the scooter we brought for him) and Andrew rode his bike. It took us 1 1/2 laps (out of 3) before we figured out how to accomplish a 5K with three children, but we did it. And we loved it. It's definitely on our "To Do" list for next year.

Connor with Grandpa:
Grandpa kept him entertained for quite awhile. I love this picture. Grandpa was humming some tunes and Connor was just enamored. He thought Grandpa was so cool.

Girls' Night

Christy Ciccotelli, Bradeigh Godfrey, Becky Woods, Liz Pratt, Danica Loveridge, Maggie Minson

Love these girls. So much. We went to Tepanyaki Grill. I'd never been and I really enjoyed it. Ate too much. Mmmm. Sometimes it's nice to get away and take a little break from being a wife and mama.
