Update

The last time I blogged the only pictures I had put in albums was Eli's first 2 years, Lilliana's first 3 months, and Newborn Photos of Ari that the Photographer took. The rest of my photos were on my hard drive. 

 

Since then I have gotten a lot done. Except for the pictures I am posting today all photos from this year have been printed and put in an album. It honestly has taken me maybe 5 hours total. Two nights of sitting down watching a movie and putting them in albums. Everything was already organized in folders on my computer so I was able to quickly just pick the photos I want and they uploaded for print. I went about my business and then came back to place the order. I also have January of 2012 done. I also have Ari's birth story half way done. I am having a block with that because it is involves digital scrapbooking and lately I have not wanted to be on the computer doing that, but I have been working on it. So here is a little sample of what I have gotten done. This album is from Project Life. You can look up Becky Higgins for more information on them. 

 

Since I have been gone I can't say I have take a lot of photos. I have not been getting much sleep, I sprained my ankle, and the kids have kept me busy. Ari has a lot of teeth coming in and screams all through bed time so it has meant sheer exhaustion.

For now a few pictures..........

 

I let Ari have spaghetti one night. He has not had many grains but I let him have fun.

 

Taking all three kids grocery shopping can be a lot these days, so instead I have been taking one child and just spending some time with them. Lilliana went with me a couple weeks ago. Normally I am busy in the store just trying to think about what we need. This time I was able to actually sit and talk to her and listen to her. She pointed out everything. Then we went by the sunglasses and she got so excited and insisted we stop and look. Then she saw these adorable glasses and honestly I couldn't turn her down because she looked so cute so she got them. She wore them the entire time through the store and everybody stopped to talk to her and tell her how cute she was. She ate that attention up and gave her cute silly smile. She even picked out a pair for Eli.

 

The first day of spring ushered in snow for us. It really has not gotten warm. The birds are everywhere with their beautiful songs but the warmth just is not. Hopefully soon.

 

When we got inside Lilliana crashed fell asleep oh so sweetly in the chair. 

 


This child has been a bit challenging the past couple weeks. I am hoping in the coming weeks as he gets outside more he burns off some energy. He is doing well with school, but if it gets hard he is giving up. He struggles with recognizing the number 9.  He also is testing his boundaries again. I told Anthony didn't we go through that at 3? We decided that maybe each year we will just deal with this.

 

This little boy has surgery coming up and we have been preparing for that. My heart drops every time I think about it and I am not looking forward to it but would rather just get it out of the way! 

 

That is about all that has been going on. I will be back to getting my photos printed but will probably update after this weekend. Have a wonderful week.
