Hannah Our Shining Star
Mia Solenne Our Loving Brainiac
Charlotte Roslyn Our Precious Sweetie
Second, a little update on us. We are loving spring in our new home and getting excited about each little shoot that pops up, each flowering tree branch, each chance we have to enjoy our little backyard "eden." We bought a grill and are officially inviting everyone we know to a BBQ. Oh, and we need some folks to come for the maiden s'moreganza as we use our firepit for the first time. Any takers??
Hannah is starting Kindergarten in 3 months. She recently survived her "K-Day" at the pediatrician where she received 4 shots, 1 finger poke, cookies, a goodie bag, and a challenge from the doctor to learn to like meat this year. We drive past what will be her new school in the fall almost every day and she yells, "There's my new school!" She is a little nervous about this new "big girl" step in her life, but mostly she is so proud to be an almost kindergartener.
Mia passes the time trying to kiss her little sister as much as possible, speed sliding backwards down the stairs, and trying to do what her big sister does. She also loves working in the garden with mom. She gets so excited to see the flowers and the grass and the water. She has such a tender little heart. She surprises me with her mothering and concern for all the members of our family.
Charlotte turns 6 months tomorrow. She tried peas for the first time yesterday and LOVED them. I think she's just happy to have something other than bland rice cereal. She gets a kick out of her older sisters - their antics and cooing at her. Who could ask for more than constant entertainment? We love her smiles.
As for Brent and me, we are just trying to stay awake and enjoy ourselves in the process. It is a challenge to be so tired all the time and still give each other the quality parts of ourselves. But, we love the kids so much and we know these years will go by so fast. So, we are making an effort as a couple to show even more appreciation for each other and enjoy the journey. Plus, along with the fatigue comes so much joy. We marvel each day that we are so blessed.
