Post Soup

So even though I've taken pictures, with my schedule it seems impossible to blog during the week so I will try to post at least every Sunday. So from the past little while, here are some pictures and happenings in our house.

On St. Patrick's Day we all wore green.
Here is my little leprechaun wearing a hat she colored in school. Cute, huh?
When we made our shopping trip, Grandma bought the girls this little house to color. We have had it for a few weeks, but I wouldn't put it up until they colored it all. Best money spent since it took them hours and hours of coloring to finish it!
They love playing in it and have even watched TV through the little door. Silly girls!
Kimberly is over a nasty cold and ear infection and is doing great. She just recently turned three months old. Here she is holding a little "k" during bath time:
On Friday, we had to leave work early. Kadie's teachers brought her over to me and said she was really tired and didn't fall asleep until the last few minutes of nap time. She was crying and felt hot to me. She was 103 when I took her temp! Poor Kadie! We came home and I put some cartoons on for her to watch. I had the flu over the last weekend and I thought she might not feel well so I gave her a bowl just in case. She fell asleep like this, bless her heart. It was short lived and she felt better the next day!

Caught On Camera

While she has been smiling for a long time now, it was hard to catch on camera...
We persevered and her are the results:

So Sorry...

For anyone who follows my blog, sorry for the absence. They say that the only constant in life is change and that is certainly true in our family. I went back to work in February. I am working at a daycare owned by a family friend and love it. While I am not always in the same room with my children, I am sometimes and I like being in the same building as they are where I can peek in and check on them. My days are long between getting three little girls and myself ready in the morning, dropping Taylor off at school, working all day, and then the night routine at home. It has been a hard adjustment for our family, but the extra income is helpful towards debt while we are in a transitional phase in our life.

Lee has been unable to find a job in his field since graduating with his Master's in Fine Art. He got a job at our local Wal-mart in sporting goods to pass the time while searching for something different, but recently gave his two-week notice. He has been given the opportunity to work for a monument company. He will be designing headstones and monuments and gets a commission when they sell. We are excited for him to be on a more regular schedule and the opportunity he has to use his art!

Taylor is still loving school. While it made me nervous at first, she now rides the bus after school to the daycare where I work. She loves riding the bus and going to daycare until I am off work. Silly girl! She is thriving in school. I get compliments on how well-behaved she is and her current milestone is learning to read like a pro!

Kadie is the plucky comic relief in our family. She has the cutest little behaviors that make us smile. She has had to adjust from life at home with Mommy, to going to daycare. It made her cry at first and made me sad, but she seems to enjoy going and when given the choice to go home early, she gets mad. I think that overall, it is good for her to socialize. She is really smart and seems ready for kindergarten already, but socially she is quite shy!

Kimberly is growing like a weed. Last week at the doctor's, she weighed in at 11 pounds, 7 ounces. She smiles, has laughed a few times, and has recently discovered her hands and brings them to her mouth every chance she gets. We have gone through the colds in our house and she has been the latest victim. A doctor's visit confirmed a bad ear infection and a lot of chest congestion. She has spent the nights in her car seat in our room with humidifiers going! The past two nights she has only gotten up once and we are super excited to be getting more sleep.

I rarely have the time to get on a computer, let alone take pictures, so this is the most recent photo I have to post and it is from a Sunday almost three weeks ago! She looks so cute in that color! I will try to be better at posting so stay tuned!
