Taking a Break

We all know I LOVE pictures. My kids life is documented completely. Sadly, it is ALL on my hard drive minus Eli's first two years, Lillianas birth story and first 3 months. Everything else is in cyber space and in pixels. That has never been my goal! Soo I am taking a break from blogging for a while. I am not sure how long. I do know when I come back I plan to have Ari's birth story completed and printed. I also plan to have all the photos from January 2013-March 2013 printed in 4X6s and in an album. I also plan to have my blog in a book form ready to print. It is my goal. I need to do this because I have spent plenty of money and time learning to take wonderful photos but all I have are digital information to show for it. So please understand. I might pop on once a week to post a couple photos of the kids but for now it is going to quiet around here. 

I leave you with this a catch up until this point..............

Ari's 8 month photos. Well he is just fast now and not interested in staying in any sort of place so these were just Ari being Ari. He truly would rather stand. Notice how high he is in the crib, we lowered it this weekend. 

 

I cut all my hair off. It was much needed. While I love long hair as long as I have my fat chubby face I think shorter hair is more flattering. This is not the best picture but I do LOVE my hair now. 

 

 

We have had some interesting moments with Eli. While many would probably look at this as disrespectful, I could not help but laugh. Also sometimes I don't mind my kids expressing themselves. They get frustrated like I do and I do express myself so I don't normally mind. Sometimes when it begins to get out of hand like it has here it stops. 

They now have their own office like Mommy as you can tell from the video.

They also very much dislike toy jail. Thankfully it is working and after this day they pick up wonderfully. Eli understands better than Lilliana but it has worked so far. 

 

Ari is now trying to walk....

 

More presents came for them from my parents. They also got us family passes to the zoo but sent stuffed animals for them. They LOVE them!

 

Last Friday Anthony and I both did not have to work which has been a change from the usual. We had a relaxed day and spent the evening at Play with the kids and then went out to eat at Pizza Hut. The kids loved it. 

 

We started and ended our Pizza Hut time with the older two dancing. They don't normally get to listen to anything but family life radio and I think they enjoyed the different music. 

Now I will leave you with pure cuteness. I can't resist a cute baby booty. I am sure my kids will hate me when they are older but seriously the chub and just the cuteness! 

 

This is the only way I can get any work done today. He just wants to be next to me as he is teething. He is too heavy to hold all day so we have compromised. 

 

 

For now the break begins.....When I return hopefully it will be with some things that have been organized and memories preserved other than on a screen.
