ready for church

new outfit

thanks to aunt di and uncle jake for the new birthday outfit :)

1 year check

norah went for her well visit this week and she checked out "perfectly". she's 30.5 inches (90%) and 19.6lbs (25%) - our dr. said as long as she keeps on her own curve of weight/height gain she's fine - just petite :) she's eats everything given to her and she is on whole milk now - which my budget thanks her for (no more formula!!!!) -and aside still trying to get her on a consistent sleep pattern she is wonderful!

thank you uncle kevin & aunt beth!

norah loves the gift you sent for her birthday! hopefully she'll be pushing it in no time :)

sunny in seattle

we've had 2 days of sun and 70's this week :) we've spent many hours at the park and pool!

a week of celebrations!

we've had such a wonderful week of blessings and celebrations - big and small! our baby turned 1, my other baby is using the potty, we're having another baby, and danny had another year to celebrate being the daddy to the most wonderful 3 little girls!! God is good and life is great :)

Happy Father's Day

we surprised danny with tickets to the mariners game today. it was cold and rainy but it was a great day :) the girls love getting to see the mariner moose!

norah's first birthday!

this has been the fastest and craziest year that i can remember! we spent a quiet day at home celebrating w/ celeste and grayson.

she's a big kid now!

she may act a little goofy but she's finally using her potty!!! with a little motivation from mommy and daddy this week she lost the diapers! she's been doing such a great job!! i really had my doubts about her ever taking this step so if she can do it - anyone can do it :)


we took her out for ice cream to celebrate her big week!



this is the only pregnancy i've had where i'm not craving DQ ice cream - could save me some money in the long run :)

just keep swimming

layla promised she was going to get in the water and i believed her, because this was the first time she has put on her bathing suit - she actually put 2 on - maybe she thought they would keep her from sinking - not quite sure?!?! but, again - she just watched.
