A rare picture with me and mommy:)

I'm usually always the one with the camera so I don't have many pics of the 2 of us. Aren't we cute?

Seriously, how cute is this giraffe outfit with the little giraffe in the pocket!

So tired!

Lovin' that changing table!

Newborn Pics!!!

Enjoying my first walk by the lakefront with mommy

Someone can pinch me anytime now - I love coming down by the lake and hanging out at Alterra and reading, roller blading, walking or running. I always dreamed of being able to push around my jogging stroller and bring my little one with me some day. Today I'm actually finally doing it!!!!! I love this little girl. She is such an answer to so many years of praying and waiting. Thank you God!!!

Mama's first day back to work:(

And of course, now that its time to head to the sitter's house, baby K is out cold. If only she'd have slept this good last night. In protest, she wouldn't go to bed and then was up from 3 until 5:30. I guess she knew I was leaving for work today and just wanted to spend a little extra time with her mama;). Thankfully, I'm able to go back part time and will only be working Monday's, Wednesday's and Thursday's. Let's hope Tuesday night we get a little more sleep! Ok, off to work;(

Auntie Kate has the magic touch!

Thanks for getting me to sleep Auntie Kate. I love you new Auntie Kate and Uncle Jeffy!

My first birthday party!

Happy Birthday Madison!!

Love the shirt!!

Pool life wipes me out!

Goin' swimmin!

Well, ok maybe not actually swimmin, but heading to Uncle Derek's to sit (in the shade) by the pool! Aren't I cute?

Kennas first trip to the mall

Bathtime

Makenna LOVES bathtime!  She loves getting all wet and especially loves it when I dump water over her head and wash her hair. 

So happy

Makin' friends

After leaving a few turds at the bottom of the stairs (yes, I was the lucky one to step in them) on Friday night in protest of little sister's fussy fussy day, Bugsey decided she wasn't so bad after all on Saturday afternoon when she finally quieted down for a nap;).

Watchin fireworks with my daddy

Fireworks!

Last year we found the perfect park to watch the lakefront "Big Bang" fireworks from - its just a few miles south of the city and the view is awesome. Last year we watched them with my sis, bro in law and their 3 kids. This year we started a new family tradition and took baby K. Its funny to think that last year at this time, she was frozen and still in Texas - amazing what a year can do!

Kenna slept through the whole thing and the park is far enough away that we couldn't hear any of the loud booms to wake her. We got in the car 10 minutes before the grand finale to be able to catch it from atop the hoan bridge - what a beautiful sight of the city and the fireworks!! This picture isn't very clear - but its a really great view from this spot. Happy 4th everyone!!

Big Brother Bugsey....

Is not so much a fan of his fussy, crying little sister - this is what he does when she really starts wailing - hides under the chair! Poor Bugsey!

Introducing.... the triplets!!!!

Yesterday I had the honor of meeting 2 of the 3 triplets!!  I went to visit Rachel and Clint and they let me hold Miss Adelyn while we waited for Clinton to make his way up from the NICU to the special care nursery to join his sister.  I was hoping to meet Ellie, too but had to go before she made her way up to the nursery.  What a blessing that they are all doing so well!!  Please continue to pray that they all continue to thrive and that they are able to come home to mommy and daddy real soon!!  I love you Addy, Ellie and Quincy!!

Ellie

Clinton (aka Mr Quincy)

This little guy is Earl Clinton Wood IV - they've started calling him Quincy (get it, the 5th - ha!) and I love that in most of the pictures of him, he's holding his 5 little fingers up - too cute!!
