I was just thinking that I have not posted here in forever! Life has just kinda been passing me by lately. We haven't done much except for work, school, and the mundane day to day things. So, no new pics. of the kids. But, let's look at some old ones.
Where have the past 5 years gone? It seems like just yesterday (ok--maybe not yesterday) that I found out we were going to become a family of three. My, how time flies, and life just seems to take over! Now here we are 5 years later as a family of five. I still just can't comprehend how lucky we are to have 3 beautiful healthy kiddos.
I have loved each stage of my children's lives....but...I think when they were around 12-18 months was my favorite. So, here's a blast from the past!
OMG...Why didn't anyone tell me that I had a gargantuan baby?! When I look back at pictures of Caroline (she was 16 mos here) I realize why the pediatrician always told me to make sure I am careful with what she eats so she will fit into her prom dress. Who knew she would grow into a tall and thin little girl?! Look at the next pic to get the full effect of her chubbiness!!
Can you say cheeseburger? I sure loved this age, and I loved her little "rolls" even more! I was already about 3 months preggo with the boys when this pic was taken.
Again, I grow me some chubby babies!! I could just eat them up and squeeze those little cheeks! They were about 9 months here. Wow, I was lucky that they were such good babies! Maybe I'm paying for it now! ha ha
They were 16 months old here. I
LOVE their hair here. It makes them look just so sweet. This was before the mobility (and trouble) that goes along with walking!
Look at this sweet baby-faced little Evan! She was holding Caroline, so she was almost four here. It seems like just yesterday I was going to her birthday party when she turned 1. She was definitely my best practice before I had my own kids! Then ironically, she and Caroline have many many similar personality traits.
Ella had just turned 1 in this picture. She was such an angel baby. I remember she used to put anything with a strap or a handle on her shoulder like a purse. That's why this pic. cracks me up. So fitting....and the pappy strapped to her (at all times btw)--LOVE IT!
This was the morning I delivered her. Everyone always used to ask me if I was sure there was only one baby in there. Little did we know at the time.....yes, this body can stretch WAY bigger! ;o
She was the sweetest, most scrumptious baby I've ever seen. Actually, she still is! It seems as though my baby is growing up faster than the speed of light! Tonight, out of the blue she asked me when she was going to get her adenoids taken out. What? I guess it was just a reminder that she is growing up!
