My littlest ray of sunshine


My sweet big girl



My love bug







Taking pictures of my kiddos is one of my favorite things to do. To try and capture them just the way they are can be such a challenge and a reward.

Survived my first week back at work, lack of sleep was the worst part. I teared up when I had to leave my littlest but if I have to leave her I'm glad it's with our friend/daycare lady. She is awesome and usually it's only for a few hours. I've found that since my time spent with the kids each day is limited (working some evenings) I make a bigger effort to be present, listen, be patient, and give extra hugs and kisses, so it's not all bad.

Love these kiddos. Ben decided baby sister is all right.

Caty is the best baby. She really is. She is so sweet and cuddly, she doesn't cry or fuss, she is happy and content all time. She sleeps great, she eats great, she goes with the flow which makes her a perfect addition to our busy family. She is starting to smile, melts my heart. Love her baby noises, her baby smell, her baby wiggles, love her to pieces.

Lucky boy more gifts



And more cake!



Love this boy to death. He loves his sisters and wants nothing more than to be Daddy's shadow. He is wild and tests my patience daily but is so sweet and gives the best hugs and kisses. Our lives would not be complete without his rambunctious silliness.
