Moments from the trio

The trio has been keeping us busy and tired. Ms. Lucy has reverted a bit in sleeping with a cold. Not that she is a good sleeper anyway:) oh wait my early birds do sleep...sleeping beauties...

couldn't make it to school...

Painting with Annie

Trying wax paper and finding it delicious

Evan's publishing party at school with his first opinion piece about why pizza is his favorite.

Eating lunch with his teacher and three friends because he filled up his punch card for doing so well in school and making good choices.

Lucy's 4 months

Lucy is perfectly healthy and couldn't have a better check up. 

15 lbs 1 oz - 66%

24 3/4" tall - 59%

Head - 16 1/4" 67%

For reference the boys were 17'9lbs and 16'5lbs! 

Happy and healthy what else could we ask for?! 

So far daycare is going great and she has our beloved Annie as her teacher. She is very tired at night which is the same as her big brother Evan coming home from kindergarten:) 

Winter

It is chaotic and hectic to say the least at our house right now. I just went back to work and we are beyond lucky to have Grandma's helping out with Lucy. This comes to an end tomorrow...I'm not sure how I am going to function without the extra pair of hands.

When the chaos subsides a little this is what makes all the craziness worth it. 

 My little loves enjoying a bed time story.

Our True Life

First Christmas of a family of five.

Catching up

The holidays are almost over and that means one thing...back to work for me. It's my last week home and I have mixed feelings- well not really I want it to last forever. I've enjoyed every (almost) minute being home. I've been able to take and pick Evan up from school, have lunch with him, and help him transition to kindergarten - something I never will be able to do with Wyatt or Lucy.

Ive been able to just hang with Lucy just like I did with the boys. Each time has been so special for me. This one even a bit more because it's my last and longest. I've tried my hardest to look at each moment as a blessing because I know people have to go back to work so much earlier and I can't imagine. 

Here are a few pictures of what we've been up to. Christmas post to come...

Belle - Aunt Caitlin's new puppy

Shooting hoops at the Waukee game - some day this will be him on the court as a warrior.

Lucy is 3 months and full of smiles! She likes her dad now:) and loves her brothers. 

Christmas break lunch with mom and Lucy. 

Project time with Grandma

Rocking the dentist. I love going and the boys do too so I hope it continues.

Fun in December

Here are some random photos from Wyatt's Christmas concert and party. Also Grandpa and Grandma took the boys to Bass Pro and of course they loved it! 

Lucy's Baptism and Thanksgiving

This past week we have celebrated a lot including Lucy's baptism. Erin and Ben are her Godparents and Lucy is so lucky to have them in her life.

We also had thanksgiving at the Wielands and got a lot of sledding in on a freezing cold day. 

Grandma had lots of projects to keep the boys busy.

The boys and I went to Disney on Ice on Sunday night and loved it! 

More fall fun
