I Did It!

It's true, I succumbed to peer pressure and my fear of the technical world and started a blog for our family. Over the past year I have enjoyed catching up on the lives of many of you and decided that it would be nice for me to do the same for you.

We had our 4th little one on Christmas Eve and life has forever been changed. I'm still trying to figure out how and when I can get things done with a screaming baby. I'm slowly getting in the groove. Most people said adding the third was the hardest and then any additional baby is easy. They LIED!!! This is by far the hardest transition. It could be that Aaron has worked 100 hour work weeks most of the time so I don't get much of a break. Maybe I just need to chill and not worry about my house being perfect or say it's okay to just have hot dogs for dinner instead of a nice meal. I'll get it one of these days!

Meet the Fam:

Isaac just turned 7. He is a true boy. He loves to play soccer , take things apart and make contraptions, play outside, and bug his sister. He is a good help with Baby Halle, he will hold her when she is screaming and I'm trying to make dinner or fold laundry.

This is Isaac after school on his birthday. He loves the skateboard and Crocks are his favorite shoes.

Caite is 4. She loves to sing and dance around the house and secretly thinks she's Hannah Montana. Caite's favorite thing to do is talk...her mouth never stops! It's so nice once she is in bed and it's quiet in the house. She went through a phase for almost 2 years where she would only wear dresses and skirts. I'm glad that's over, but now she will only wear 3 outfits. She's funny.

Hayden is almost 3 and is a sweet boy. He keeps us all laughing and loving eachother. He is the best hugger and kisser in the family. Sunday I came home from a meeting after church and found him laying on the kitchen counter with Doctor Dad getting ready to put his forhead back together. He had an incident with the lock on the door knob.

Halle is 2 1/2 month. She still a little peanut...11.6 lbs, but maybe she'll stay a baby longer. She's starting to smile and we love it. I love having a baby sleep through the night...it makes up for the screaming all day. I have more than enough helpful or not so helpful hands with the older kids around. We are glad to have Halle as part of the family.

I just got called as the Enrichment Leader at church...again. This makes 4 times! Apparently I haven't learned how to do it yet. Aaron in his spare...very spare...time is the Scout Master.

So there you have it. A quick up date on us. Now I can post fun stuff.
