Here are some random fall pics of the girls. They were helping me plant me blueberry bushes in this picture. They are quite the crew.

Dan and Natalie on the Uncle Jeff's boat. We had a really nice trip to New Jersey this fall and enjoyed spending time with family.

We bought an RV this summer and this was our first major trip with the RV. It was really nice to take it to New Jersey.

Our girls posing with their cousins as we were getting ready to leave New Jersey. They had a good time together.

Kylie and Alyssia enjoying the ocean. We were at the beach a least a couple of days, so nice.

Gardening

Gardening is something that I started this year. We had a pretty good size garden this year and things grew really well. I am going to have a much larger garden this next year. My girls have enjoyed this as well.

Pictures of our girls

Here are current pictures of our girls.

School!

We are homeschooling Kylie this year. She is in 1st grade and so far things are going well. This is a picture of the classroom that we have setup in our house for school. I had fun getting it all together.

Alyssia just started 4 year old preschool. There are nine kids in her class. I am excited for her to have this for her and she is excited to go.

This is a great place to go if you would like to help the people in Haiti right now. One of our friends from college, Mioche Rock, is a missionary there and they need our help. Please consider donating money and pray. You can give to support Mioche Rock or you can give to Haiti Relief, either one will be helping the people of Haiti.

Homecoming Week

Thursday was class color, which hers was green. She also wanted her hair french braided.

Wednesday was western day. She was a purple cowgirl.

Tuesday was favorite disney charcter or super hero day. She was Cinderella but warm with layers,

Monday was Pajama day and wacky hair day. She liked this one.

The school has homecoming with basketball season since they do not have football. Fun week.

Lydia

Lydia is now a few weeks old and growing fast. She is a great baby.

Lydia Kate

She is Here!

We welcome LYDIA KATE on December 22nd at 12:58pm. She was 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches long.

Kylie and school events

This is Kylie's class at her Christmas program last night. She was the letter "T" in Christmas. She did a great job with her line.

Kylie was a little Indian girl for her Thanksgiving/Harvest day at school just before Thanksgiving break. She was really cute. I made her outfit out of some of my older clothes. It was fun to put together.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Busy Day!

I had a doctors appointment today. I am now every week until this baby is born, we are at 36 weeks now. I am almost done with pregnancy. Bitter sweet.

Dan stayed home with Natalie and Alyssia so I could go get our grocery shopping done today. I just love to shop by myself.

After we picked up Kylie from school, we took all the girls to the local Health Department and they all got the H1N1 shot today. They will have to get the other half in a month.

We also moved Natalie upstairs yesterday so she can get use to sleeping up there before the next baby comes along. Dan says it is for him to get more exercise going up and down the stairs. She doesn't get up in the night but she still will wakeup crying some,looks for her pacifier and the assurance that we heard her and back to sleep she goes.

We still have to pick out a name for this baby, we just don't know yet.
Have a great day!

Name for Baby!

We have not come up with a name for this next baby girl. If anyone has any ideas we would love to hear them.

Parent/Teacher Conference

We had parent teacher conferences on Thursday with Kylie's Teacher. Kylie is doing very well. She said the Kylie has a sweet and gentleness about her. She is kind to others and is very respectful. She is also doing very well academically. I think her reading could improve. She can sound words out pretty well but it takes her a while sometimes and that frustrates her. Overall very good report and that, of course, makes mom and dad very pleased. Good job Kylie!

Getting caught up.

Kylie took a picture of my belly for me. Alyssia had to be in it as well. I am getting a pretty good size belly.

Natalie loves our dishwasher. She loves to help me whenever it is open. I had emptied it and walked around the corner and this is where she placed herself. So cute.

Natalie got to enjoy the birthday cake that her sisters and I made for her 1st Birhtday. She didn't really eat that much of it though. She started throwing it so she was done.

This was Kylie on her first day of school. She was very excited of course to be there. Her teacher is behind her in the black and white outfit. She was standing by her table spot.

The girls all decided to cuddle with me on the couch one evening. Dan took the picture. The corner spot on our couch is the best spot to be in. Pretty soon we will be adding one more girl to the mix. So much fun.

Natalie is 1 year old today. She is walking, says ma ma but does not have any teeth yet. She is so big. Kylie, Alyssia and I made a cake for her last night but we need to get home today to eat it tonight. Fun, Fun

Kylie has her first day of Kindergarten tomorrow. She is very excited. I will have to get pictures of her first day on soon.
I have been missing in Action this summer on blogger. We have not had internet at our house all summer and probably won't have it until the corn comes down. So I cannot wait for the corn to come down. The fields around us are usually the last ones harvested though. Oh well, we will make it.

Summer Fun!

Dan gave Alyssia a ride on a buggie board. We had a great time in New Jersey with Dan's family. We went to the Beach a couple of days while we were there.

Natalie was very good on the beach. She stayed on the blanket under the umbrella most of the time and played.

Alyssia loved the ocean. She, her sisters and cousins played very well together.

Dan's Uncle and Aunt's house had a dog that a couple of years ago was really jumpy but this year he was so good. He had mellowed quite a bit. He would follow Natalie around and lay next to her and watch her play. So very cute.

Here is Alyssia trying out the Buggie Board.

Alyssia was learning to jump with the waves as they came in.

We went to the fair this summer and the girls got to ride a lot of rides.

Natalie had her first experience in the grass this summer. She didn't want to move for awhile.

This was our 4th of July picture of the girls. We of course went to see the fireworks.

News!

Dan and I are expecting our fourth in December. We will have an ultrasound the very end of July to possibly determine the gender of this baby. Pray all goes well.
