Four Years and Counting

Its hard to believe that Jason and I have been married for four years. It seems like we have always been married - in a good sort of way. It might be the fact that in the psat four years we have moved 3 times and have 3 kids (and a dog). So how did we celebrate??

Well, being that we just returned from California (I'll post that week next), we both were still worn out from all our travels and visiting family. Plus, Jason was going to be at work a tad late. So we were going to put the kids to bed early and just enjoy a nice quiet evening at home.

Since we couldn't find a sitter, we had to then make last minute dinner plans. I was really tired from trying to catch up the house cleaning from being gone, so that was the last thing on my mind. Thankfully I have a sweet husband who came home and took Joshie (our oldest) with him to Krogers to get some dinner supplies. Its a rare occasion for him to cook, so I welcome whatever he cooks - even though I know that it will be cheeseburgers!

They came home with not only cheeseburger supplies, but a dozen red roses and a Mocha Frappacino. mmmm...that definately put me in the mood for some cheeseburgers! All in all, it was a pleasant evening - just our family.

Looking back I enjoyed being with our kids on our special day. It was because of this day that we even have them to cherish, so they should be a part of it.

It was kinda funny - we always joked that each anniversary we have been expecting a child. The first anniversary I was pg with Joshua and the second with Jenna. I wasn't pg with Julianna, but three weeks later I was! This year we were tempted to joke about not being pg, but didn't want to press our luck after what happened last year!

Thank you, my love, for being the best husband and daddy to me and our beautiful kids!

Baby on the move!

I know that with baby #1 I read all these parenting books while I was pregnant to see what to expect with my first child. BOY WAS I IN FOR A SURPRISE!! I know that those books are there only for a reference, but I was pretty much expecting a "log" for a baby for the first 4 to 6 months. HA! Another surprise!

Let me fill you in on how our son's miletone's progressed:

• Rolled over: 4 weeks old
• Sat up(with no support): 3 months
• Crawled: 3 1/2 months
• Walked (with no support): 7 months

So, being that Julianna is our third child, I should know that it wouldn't be long before she could "be on the move". I thought though that since she doesn't get much floor time due to her older siblings running all over and me not wanting her to get smushed that she would take a little longer than the other two to reach these milestones. I have rather enjoyed just holding her too..... I should have known...

The picture at the top is where she ended up after scritching to her new found destination...the picture below is where she started.....Life is about to get even more interesting soon with three babies all around!

Interesting - but definately worth it.
