Snuggle and Cuddle!

When it gets cold, the kids and I LOVE to snuggle and cuddle under blankets. It's becoming quite a tradition!

Even our kitty, Symmetry, will join in sometimes.

Lovin' on our cousin

Leah and Malachi thoroughly LOVE Gabriel. They can't leave him alone! They both want to be BIG helpers for me and have to touch him.

Gentle, Malachi!

Gabriel doesn't seem to mind their touches.

Leah LOVES to be the BIG cousin!

Halloween!

What are we dressed as?

What a busy day! We went to the zoo with my mom, aunt, Nana, Papa, & NINE children (my children and all their cousins!). It was such a great day and a wonderful time for my Nana to be a part! For our evening, we went to our block's carnival, my sister's carnival, and trick-or-treating to certain friends and family's doors. It was quite a full day and night! Now our kids have TOO much candy and Jason and I are trying to figure out how to eliminate some without them noticing. Can you guess what Leah and Malachi are? (Tinkerbell and Elmo)

Daddy's and Mommy's Pumpkins

There's a heart beat!

Leah came with me to my ultrasound appointment and got to hear the heart beat and see the baby on the screen. She was very curious and had lots of questions. Leah is very excited for this baby to come and is wondering how many more days. Boy, we have a long road ahead of us! After the appointment, she shared with her daddy and aunt that she saw the baby, heard the heart beat, and said specifically that "My mommy's baby is real and alive!" She's hoping for a sister, but we keep reminding her that it is not in our control. Please continue to pray that everything goes fine and that God can give us a peace through this season. I, Deb, am very nervous and trying to hope for the best. We still haven't reached the safe zone!

Leah's Field Trip

Leah enjoyed her first field trip to the fire station. She couldn't believe how big those trucks really were when she got up close to it. She also enjoyed meeting real firemen!

A Special Family Night

Well, Jason and I took the kids out one night to let them ride a Merry-Go-Round. They were SO excited to ride it. We went a couple times. It got Jason and I pretty dizzy! It didn't phase the kids at all.

Getting Away To Remember

September 12th was our 3rd baby's due date. Jason took me away for the day! It was nice to escape reality and get away. We went to breakfast at Mimi's and headed up the hill to hike in the woods. It was a lovely, but also hard time for us as well. God is getting us through this season, but the loss still remains fresh in our minds!

What a HAM!!!

Malachi is starting to enjoy his alone time with his mommy. He has such a funny personality. He keeps me laughing all day long!

He loves playin' his guitar like his daddy!

Trash trucks are his favorite right now. Every trash day we spend quite a lot of time outside watching all the trash trucks come by. Malachi loves it!

Playin' With Cousin Silas

Visiting Grandpa and Grandma Mary

We had a wonderful time with Jason's dad and his wife. The kids always enjoy playing with Grandpa and they love eating fresh fruit that Grandma Mary always provides. Thanks for a nice and fun weekend!
