Suzie's St. Patty's party!

Funny kids!

I am getting the hang of this three-kid business. I have gotten my "OH MY GOD, DID I FORGET THE BABY AT HOME" moments to only about 3-4 a day. Let me clarify, I have never ACTUALLY forgotten the baby at home (or anywhere) but I have moments where I cannot remember carrying her out to the car in the mad dash to take or pick up Nya from school. SO, we are getting that under control. We are hoping for good news about Leila's hips in the next few weeks so we can avoid the possibility of casting her. As much as I wish she had nothing wrong with her hips, I am aware that things could be much, MUCH worse than this. So we are taking it day by day. Nya and I have been watching the Discovery series "Life" and I do think I might have the makings of a future photo journalist on my hands. She is very into the ways that these moments were captured and how long it must have taken to get some of these shots. All very interesting through the eyes of a 5 year old.

BBQ

We went to a super fun BBQ with our friends the other day. Iyla really wanted to get in on the football game with Suzie and the big boys. Janet bought Leila her easter outfit, how cute is she???

Jax and Cayden

Jackson and Stacy drove over from Vero the other day to visit us and meet new baby Leila. Cayden and Erin came over also and the kiddos had a super fun play date. Iyla really liked playing "ring around the rosie" with Erin and Cayden...can you tell!

Lately...

Baby Leila had her very first bath today and I managed to get some nice shots in a rare moment of calmness. She cried the rest of the time because I think she was a little bit freaked out. Later on, I got some pictures of the goofballs in the bath together. These two are hilarious.

Newness all around...

We have been settling in very nicely. I have had a lot of help from my parents, Janet, my in-laws and my friends. We are getting everything in order little by little. I have been terrible about taking pictures but I managed to snap a few this morning. Nya was upstairs playing nicely in her new playroom, Iyla and Oliver were sharing breakfast (as usual) and baby Leila was resting in her swing (while listening to some classical music). AND...as you see from the photo...the house is ALL done and looking good. We just need to get the grass to turn green again, damn cold.
