Belmont... Preakness... here we come!

Our boys at the Lawton Stables in Sea Pines.
First pony ride!

Three of a kind...

Can you see the similarities? As an update, Hannah is 11 weeks, Drew will turn 2 this March, & Nathan will turn 4 this May!
Has anyone found a good way to freeze them at this age...?

Brothers of the heart...

Nathan & Drew happy as can be, brothers of the heart we'll always be; We thought life with us together was great, and now we have our sister Hannah to celebrate.

It's funny how capturing these moments makes the frustrations of the little things during the day seem so insignificant.
Yes, the days are long, the words are sometimes short, the meals are cold, but those smiles, laughs, and hugs are so warm and sweet.


 

Parenting in these "birth years" (0-5) is definitely the most difficult, but also very rewarding when the evidence of previous teachings appear.

We just have to remember those small nuggets and keep perservering.

What are three of Mommy's favorite things?

Baking a birthday cake with Nathan on Christmas eve.

and new books for the boys (thank you Maga!) Richard Scarry is one of the BEST!

Good Morning...

Two fingers, two blankets, two bears. This is Drew waking up on Christmas morning. Christy ran downstairs and grabbed the camera and captured this sweet moment.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas Family & Friends!
Love Paul, Christy, Nathan, Drew, & Hannah

One month... and counting

Our sweet little Hannah has just celebrated one month here... can you tell she's enjoying life? Oh, the joys of being a newborn. Pampered all day long, held, fed, rocked, kissed, wiped, fed, burped, held, sleep, fed, held, sleep...

She may be our best sleeper of the three (the boys are great sleepers) since she has lots of banging, sirens, crashing, beeping, growling, laughing, noises constantly in the background from her brothers.

We are very thankful & blessed to have such an easy going little girl.
