My three

I'm glad I have these three in my life. As crazy as they make it... they hold me together in SO many ways. I'm grateful for this opportunity I'm having to be a mom. (Though I am constantly messing it up!)

Photo Overload

Way back in November Daph turned one. Then finally in January I asked Kim to take Daphne's 1 year photos. Now that it's April I am FINALLY posting them. 

Makiah came along and we got some cute valentine/sister photos. I thought about bringing Evan... but I didn't. He had school... blah blah blah. I should have just brought him along, but I didn't. Oh well, it's fun to have sister photos :)

I love these turned out! The ruffle, all the white, pretty light, adorable chair... cutest baby ever. Love them. Love her.

Sledding

I'm posting photos way out of order... but that's okay. This was the last day of winter break and the last day of this snow :) We went sledding just in time! 

First time sledding for Daphne! It may not look like she was super thrilled about this, but she LOVED it :)

The hill was small enough that we didn't get tired going up and down over and over, and it was big enough to have some fun! The kids have been wanting to go back ever since, but we haven't had enough snow :(

Dance

 Last year Makiah took a dance class with two of her friends, Lauren and Brielle. I definitely see progress with some of the things they do in class, so does a good job with dance :) She just started the class again in January with Lauren, this semester they are learning a dance for the recital in April. She does very well remembering what to do and isn't afraid to join in.

Her teachers are awesome, they do a great job with the kids. I was surprise to find out that one of her teachers is still in High School, I would have never guessed it. Makiah loves going to dance!

Halloween

This is great. Not only am I getting my blog updated... but I am organizing photos, editing and getting to see pictures that I haven't really looked at yet :)

I posted these photos on Halloween, but here are our Trunk or Treat photos...

Daphne was a fairy for the studio photos and for a Halloween party, but it was just too cold on Halloween so she got to be a bunny too :)

We also went Trick or Treating around our neighborhood... but this was the fun part since our neighborhood isn't that into Halloween.

Maybe next time you'll get to see some Thanksgiving or Christmas photos....
