Wow.
I suck.
I have had very little computer time. Living life instead I suppose. I so miss this blog community yet I struggle to get into the mode. I peak in on google reader to make sure you are all ok.
I am about to get busier. My Dad is coming for a visit, so my time will be even more limited. However, I am looking forward to sharing our lives with him so much. He is totally excited to get here, having Thanksgiving with us and being here for Cordelia’s baptism.
Know that we are doing great. Cordelia is growing like mad. She is eight weeks and so sweet. Smiles and coos for us, sleeps well (most if the time) and is just amazing. The pictures are from last weekend when we went apple picking
Cordelia is sleeping in the sling.
Becca is loving school, Sunday school and swim lessons. She is busy, tired but growing and evolving at an alarming rate. She is such an amazing big sister. It is a role she is becoming more gracious and giving in. I am grateful. Here is Becca enjoying the petting zoo area at the apple orchard.
Ethan seems to be forever underestimated. Soon he will skip afternoon naps, as it is getting harder and harder to get him to fall asleep. He speaks so much and has such an amazing imagination. We were cleaning the kitchen after dinner tonight and he came in and closed both pocket doors…then proclaimed we were “going up in the elevator!” Gives you an idea how small my kitchen can feel with five of us in it!
Ethan was not really into the farm animals. In fact, they scared the piss out of him … literally (hehe poor kid). We are full throttle potty training (ugh) and he is doing fairly well. He is not catching onto it the same way Becca did but we are making progress.
We had such a great weekend. Shopping, sushi and a lot of quality time together. Did you have a good weekend?













whilst I’m missing you in blogland…. I can see and understand that you are just busy with life! Your children are just beautiful.
Poor Ethan … I think farm animals are a bit odd too

Don’t feel bad about not blogging. We understand. Take care.

I think you are allowed to drop in and check on people without them know. My goodness you’ve got 3 kids, and one baby wearing a cute hat. You can do what you like.
The boy didn’t like the petting zoo either. Goats are not his thing.

Glad for little updates here and there. Just enjoy all the living.

Always glad to hear you’re doing well. I always have times when I am more and less connected to my blog.
We had a quiet weekend. James is still not quite right from the flu. Not really sick, but not really well, the slightest activity leaves him totally worn out. Darren took him to Cloudy w/ a chance of Meatballs. He fell asleep happily at 8. I worked on his Halloween costume. We’re trying to balance letting him out, after a solid week of nothing, and not overdoing it.
Have fun with your dad.

We miss you just as much, wishing you the best and hoping all is well.
It is nice, however, to get updates every so often, to make sure you are still kicking, breathing and living life like you do.
Enjoy my sweets!

The picture of Cordelia is just beautiful, and I bet you made that hat and swearter, right? Very, VERY nice!
Poor little Ethan. Had he ever seen those animals before? I guess it would be very scary if you had never seen anything like that and then it’s 1/2 your size. If I had never seen a cow before, I would be scared the first time because they are so big!
But you are so funny!

Even quick updates are gratifying, so don’t feel pressure to turn out something huge. You’re awfully busy!
Hey, my Paco is 6 1/2 and won’t go to a zoo–those animals, you know.

Your children are all so adorable Chelle and yes it can be busy juggling with so many things on your plate. We all understand and sometimes my blogging ’stalled’ to so it is ok
Take care and have fun with your family.
Glad to hear all’s well…though I had no doubt!
much more than a mom´s last blog ..Skinnamarink
Wow, so many exciting things are going on for you and your family! It all sounds so wonderful! I, too, struggle to get in the mode…I guess it’s something that’ll pass eventually. Maybe. I have a feeling with the holidays coming up that we’re ALL going to have less internet time. *hugs*

Oh, Cordelia is beautiful! CONGRATS! And thank you for sharing the update on Becca and Ethan as well. I can’t believe how they’ve grown!
My weekend is being spent at home, recovering from a kidney stone removal surgery I had on Thursday. I’m walking quite slowly but at least I’m walking under my own steam. I’m happy to be back home!
Overwhelmed With Joy!´s last blog ..Going into surgery tomorrow morning.
I haven’t posted a real entry in a long while. I post pics and videos. LIfe takes hold sometimes. YOur kids are so beautiful! Becca’s picture is still hanging on Miles’ playroom wall. I just re-did MIles’ room and I think that I am gonna do a gallery of freinds for his modified playroom. So stay tuned for some requests! Be well!

I’m so glad things are going well, and you guys are spending some much fun time together! That pic of Cordelia in her swing is just adorable!
I am sure life is so busy and I am glad to hear everyone is doing so well. First off the pics are adorable and I just love the updates. Everyone seems to be growing up so fast. Just make sure momma gets some time to herself, which I know wont happen but it is just a reminder, even if it is just 10 mins.
I can’t believe Cordelia is 2 months already! Have a great visit with your dad!
