BEST Daddy EVER!

I want to raise children as wonderfully, sweet and caring and smart and kind and hard working as their daddy!  They have a great example and I am so blessed!

 

 

This last weekend Adam organized all the wood in the last post into a beautiful, space saving stack!

Yesterday morning these boys were thrilled to find piggy pancakes waiting to them for breakfast.  They were created especially for them just because they asked for some.  Lucky boys!

Ta Da! a Masterpiece complete!

Remember last February my Dad came to help us tear apart our basement?

We took out the old fireplace and ended up with a beautiful work of art.  I still can't believe it is actually in MY house!

I love it!

Jayne posed as the cutest gargoyle ever and the boys wanted to watch daddy start a fire before bed instead of bedtime songs!

Here is the project while under construction.  My dad came and completed the job in a short weekend.  He is amazing!

 And if the stove back wasn't enough my Dad also brought s a bunch of wood to burn.  Our kind friends helped Adam chop it up.  What would we do without the help of others?  We are so grateful for all of the hard work and help.

Life with the New Girl

 One morning at breakfast the light was shinning perfectly in the kitchen and Kael and Silas were playing in the blinds.

 Adam dressed Jayne up Daddy style.

 Both boys are happy to pose with Jayne.

 I've been wanting photographic evidence of Silas with his piggy and this is typical sleeping Silas! 

Kael did great a soccer this year.  He especially loved running around the field.  It didn't always matter were the ball was! :)

We are all enjoying our new baby girl!

Jayne's First Month

Soccer and Monkeys

The begining of September is so FUN! The boys are having so much fun in the beautiful outdoor weather while they are not inside wanting to hold their baby sister.

Kael started soccer this week and we invested in a Geo Dome so that the boys could improve their monkey skills!

Baby Girl!

Jayne Helen arrived perfectly scheduled with no emergencies! Third time is a charm I guess because both the boys made an exciting entrance into the world but Jayne came sweetly on schedule.  She weighed 8lbs 1oz and was 20 inches long.

My belly right before we walked into the hospital for the c-section.

The boys adoring their new sister the day she was born.

The whole family!

Daddy and his girl!

Me and Jayne.

Sweet sleepy girl.

She's Painting Again

My friend and neighbor has been very, very busy.  She had beautiful twin babies last June and understandably has not been face painting as much this summer.  But today she invited us over and painted the boys faces and my round, pregnant belly.  We had a blast and appreciated her artistry immensely.

Silas requested a rocket!

Kael wanted a superhero "Flash" mask.

And here is my pregnant belly!
