Fun at Christmastime!

Santa Came!

The joy of the holidays through childrens eyes is priceless!

Merry Christmas 2010!

2 big girls!

So we had a birthday party for Loraly, turning 7, and Sophie, turning 3. It was easier to have the parties together since their birthdays are only 2 weeks apart. It worked. We had a PINK horse, a petting zoo, hot dogs, cowgirl and cowboy hats, 2 separate cakes, presents, and lots of friends! Turned out great! Both girls were happy!

Loraly: She is learning more and more everyday! She is reading so much better (just clicked). She is growing into a sweet, beautiful, innocent young lady! She is kind hearted, giving, always keeps her room spotless, loves to be fancy, wants everything sparkly, and has a wonderful zest for life!

Sophie: She is as sweet as always! Started Mother's Day Out, learning so much! Didn't like going at first but had a great day once there. She now likes going but still puckers that lip out when she sees me in the hallway. She is a EVERYONE's girl ( one day she is a total Mommy's girl, Daddy's the next, and Ma's after). She plays so well with all her sisters. She too loves to be fancy! Wants to pick out her own clothes, wants to stay in the bath forever, loves to SING and does it all the time, has her own little language at times, loves to talk and see baby Jesus, and still is so much our baby!

Need more TIME!

So I just put the picture of the 2 babies on my blog header for the time being! I haven't had a chance to get one of all the girls together!

In the creative minds of children (at least mine)

The Nativity Scene, made my Madalyn and Loraly

The girls made their own nativity scene. Notice baby Jesus (aka Mickey) lying in the manger of hay (feathers), the pink ballerina nutcracker is Mary, the huge Santa, miniature Santa, and snowman are the 3 wise men, the angel nutcracker is of course the angel of Jesus, and Madalyn is holding the star the wise men followed to get to Jesus! Very creative!!!
This is what being a parent is all about. Knowing that all the reading, teaching, and story telling is making an impact, setting in their sweet, little heads. And they can put a story together in real life using their imaginations!

I LOVE IT!

Also Sophie was singing "Jesus Loves Me" today, every word!

WHAT A SPECIAL DAY!

7 really!

Is she really 7 already?! I remember the day she was born...she wouldn't stop crying, we thought 'goodness, what have we gotten ourselves into?!'. Life has interesting, funny, nothing short of quiet, since the day November 17th, 2003. She is crazy, silly, loving, very affectionate (on her terms), and oh so very special!We are very blessed to have our 2nd born! What an impact she will make on the world someday!

Happy 7th Birthday Loraly Mica!

We love you!

a new change...

So I was pregnant from March 2007-December 2, 2007 with Sophie

nursed her till January 2008

found out 2 days later I was pregnant with Reese

She was born September 10, 2009

And I nursed her till this past Sunday.

So all in all, I have either been pregnant or nursing a baby for the last 3 1/2 years!

What am I going to do with myself?!

It is a little sad ending. The thought of constantly caring for a baby either by carrying it while pregnant, or nursing it, is such a rewarding thing!
