Hello friends and family! Eric and I welcomed our little girl, Grafton, into the world on January 9, 2009 and our baby boy, James, on December 2, 2010! We have just been blessed with our precious baby girl, Price, who was born August 28, 2012. We feel incredibly blessed and humbled, and we thank our gracious Lord above for all of our amazing family and friends. We hope this blog can give you a glimpse into our lives and a taste of how precious our children are. God is so so good, and we praise His Holy name.

End of September

Here is a catch-up of what we have been up to these past couple of weeks. We have been so blessed with sweet friends, a loving family, a precious church, and lots of fun activities- but these keep us so busy that I can't find time to update the blog as much as I would like! I'm sorry for the big blast of pictures below, but it shows some of what we have been doing. As I have said before, our life is beautifully chaotic but I wouldn't change a thing!!
After we drop Grafton off at school, we love going for a walk at the park! James rides his scooter, and Price eats her breakfast in the stroller. It's a perfect way to start the day!
 Price had her one year check-up last week...clearly from the picture below she LOVES the Doctor! She weighs 20 lbs (26 percentile) and is 27 1/3 inches long (3 percentile!)....making her our shortest little one year old we have had! Our Doctor said Price is "solid" and "full of herself" as she talked and laughed at him the entire time. He commented on her "Budda belly" and said "she is just the funniest thing I have seen all week!" She did great until the shots came....then it took her a good 10 minutes to recover and when she saw the nurse again she began to shake in fear!! Poor thing!!
 Loving the cooler weather
 A Price sandwich!
 Another soccer game! Grafton scored 4 goals in this game!


 Last Saturday was a busy day for this little lady! She started off with a soccer game, followed by lunch on the square and two birthday parties in the afternoon! She had a blast but was exhausted by dinner time.


 I love picking this little guy up from school and hearing stories about him from his teachers. Last week, I was told that he is the funniest little guy in his class. Apparently he is the smallest of course but still "pounces" on the bigger kids! He obeys at mat time and listens to his teachers. The teacher said "we are supposed to treat all the kids the same of course, but James is just so funny and full of energy that we show him a little more attention!!"  And after a day at school- he is worn out and can't keep his eyes open! Sweet big boy!
 Playing with James one rainy morning...
 Grafton went to a painting party!

 Playing in our yard, collecting leaves and acorns...
 The sick bug hit our house last week and we all got it! Each kid had a fever and a yucky cough, but thank goodness we are on the mend. Is it bad to say that I actually was a tad bit excited to keep Grafton home from school one day due to the sickness?? I got to have all 3 babies with me all day and I LOVED it!!! We painted pumpkins, had a picnic, and did crafts. It felt like summer again...and made me smile!



 Isn't this the cutest little monster you have ever seen?!
 Breakfast of Champs!
 These kids LOVE a rainy day!
 Little Princess
 Good old fashioned rough housing!
 Grafton came home a couple of weeks ago with this "story" she made up at school. I love that she wrote it about James....and apparently we need to plan a Disney trip soon!!
 Grafton wrote us her first "letter" last night...I love it!!! She is so sweet and so smart!
