2012 is winding down...


its October, fall is in the air, temperatures are dropping, and my kids are... shirtless...

 I really wanted them to get dressed up, and do a shoot together, but I have learned to pick my battles. I decided I would just let Freddie join them!
Smith and Miles ADORE their baby sister. Its hard to have to tell them so often not to bug her, attack her, get in her face and smother her, so sometimes I just let them. 




she doesn't seem to mind too much...

and lets face it, who wouldn't be in love? She is too much fun to have around! Its taken some adjusting to get back into baby mode, and deal with the lack of sleep, hormones, and overall crazy-ness of it all, but she is so worth every bit of it!






The boys have been enjoying pre-school and playing with friends. I thought I would give school pictures a shot, but even batman has a hard time in front of the camera.





his HUGE brown eyes melt me. Miles has been struggling with stomach pains lately and we had to have him tested for food allergies which requires a blood draw. One of the most devastating feelings as a mother was watching these big brown eyes slowly fill with tears as he tried to be brave through the blood draw. He looked at me and I almost had to look away to keep from tearing up myself! Hes our little sunshine. 


Smith has taken on the role of biggest brother like a champ. He has been so helpful with the baby, and also to be there for Miles when he needs a little help and my hands are full. He loves to be silly, and dance, and make all of us laugh. 


It freaks me out that he will be in Kindergarten next year!!

Freddies blessing day

 
It was a beautiful day! Our little Freddie was blessed on sunday. The blessing was beautiful, and we were so thankful to be surrounded by family and friends.
I look soooo tired. probably because I am! ha ha.

We failed to get pictures of her with her brothers and us so we might have to do a little re-do :)
 
Freddie's dress belonged to Laura's family and Laura made her a sweet blessing blanket, Hillary made her beautiful bow, her darling shoes were my moms (Freddie) when she was blessed. and the bonnet was not worn in her blessing, but it was also my moms.





 
 this picture makes me laugh every time.

Back to school

Smith and Miles had their first day of preschool last week! This is Smiths second year and Miles first and I was so LUCKY to find a school that would take them both in the same class so I can have a little alone time with Freddie. They love it! It has been a little crazy getting out the door on time with all 3, so being the spacey baby brained mom I am they have been late both days so far, and I completely spaced their homework yesterday (they were the only kids in class who didnt have their "getting to know you bag" yesterday)   :) GO ME! 




and these are the only pictures I got of their first day. NOT EVEN A SMILE!!




Little Miles is thrilled to be a big boy!!
 and they are both thrilled to be big brothers!

ONE WEEK...




We've had a wonderful first week with little Freddie. She is OVERLY loved, and doted over. This week Grandma Laura brought by the most amazing hand stitched quilt she made. Isnt it beautiful!!??


We also had some awesome rainstorms, and the boys felt it necessary to put on their snow gear to go outside and play in it.  (keep in mind the red "shorts" Miles is wearing are actually his underwear. Even in full snow gear he still refuses to be fully dressed)



Julian LOVED the rain!

 as for Freddie Lu, she spends her days dozing and dreaming...



Smith has been quite...interesting... he is learning so many things about girls, and nursing, and well... i might have some blackmail for his future...



Im loving the "girl thing" as well. Shes still so tiny that I have hardly any clothes that fit her yet, but Im already planning what she will wear as she gets a little bigger.  She is totally irresistible. 










Could you just DIE over this smile??!!  I cant wait until her smiles are not caused by gas :)





I hope you will excuse the rough editing on these. My motivation is lacking :)
