Miss Sophie is in preschool this year.--She is thriving! She loves school and tells me all the time she wants to be a doctor --and the crazy thing is if you know Sophie-- girlfriend probably will be a doctor. She always follows through with what she says :)--And she is extremely patient and nurturing to her brothers love this little sweetie :)

Brody is cracking us up here but you see I had to have a pic of him in his cute little sweater--poor baby he has been so sick this past winter --this is his third ear infection :( (ps I was right there I did not leave him sitting on the counter like that:)

NEWBORN INTOXICATION

WARNING: THIS POST IS ALL OVER THE PLACE! PLEASE BEAR WITH ME--THIS IS WHAT SLEEP DEPRIVATION DOES TO MY BRAIN! :)


Well hello there! --I am sorry, please forgive me--I am in newborn bliss right now! This precious baby boy has stolen all of our hearts and I am wallowing in gratefulness, trying not to miss one minute of his newborness :) I know how fast this all goes!

Everyday I say to myself --"Today is the day I am going to update my blog. I think to myself I am going to pull an all nighter and put everything on there from the last year." I do! I think about this everyday! And then I am sooo intoxicated my the smell of a newborn and his little noises I feel almost drunk by his love. I watch as my other children entertain him and "help" me and I seriously feel as if I want ten more! My heart has grown a million zillion times since I last wrote a post.

Can I tell you I used to worry about silly little things like the wrinkles on my forehead and botox and now none of that craziness matters--but these littles....ooh how I love these littles of mine! They are my world, I just want to be the beeesssst mom I can be to my babies! I will try to look my best and cutest while doing it but it is okay if I don't shower everyday! ;)

Right now I am in the best season of my life and I don't want to miss a thing. I am trying to teach Caleb and Sophie to find the beauty in the small things --and right now there are a million small things in my world right that are sooo beautiful I just want to stand in the moment and soak it all in.

Each night I whisper --"stay little" to them but that doesn't seem to matter time marches on and they are all growing by the minute.

My little guy is soo incredibly calm and a very peaceful baby --I just can't get enough of him and watching his siblings with him.--There is no greater joy in the world!!!

I am soo grateful words fail me as to how grateful we are for this baby boy. He healed places in my heart I did not even know needed healing. He has brought such an amazing dynamic to our family, one I could have never predicted. It is so crazy, he is only seven weeks but I honestly don't think any of us remember life without him.

So I am sorry, I am going to try to get on here more I want to document this all, I want so badly to post pics, but I am just soaking everything in right now in between the sleepless nights which I would not trade for the world! --I will be back I promise --thank you for reading and being patient with me :)

Happy Easter
