364/365

day three hundred sixty-four.

I'll get around to catching the blog up eventually. It all got shot, but blogging it....I'm a little busy. If only. If only, I had sat down and enjoyed the first kids as much as I have the last two. Seriously. What was I doing with my time?? Baby sister has hardly taken a single nap not on me, and while sometimes I think..."man I'd love to sleep on my stomach and for more than 3 hours"...I am seriously enjoying her snuggly naps on my chest. I am determined to try and soak up every little bit I can with her being the last baby. Check out the family blog for her first month review because it is already flying by.

day three hundred sixty-two.

It was a gloomy day (again), we're all not feeling 100% but we still made it to Nana's for lunch.

Gavin spent a long while reading this book about building treehouses, he's full of ideas now.

I napped with Evie instead of going on the bigger kids hike in the misty afternoon, but just before it rained again I made it out for a few moments.

Owen was telling Nana that Evie was "his Evie". He always comes up to her and says, "You're my girl, Evie!"

And a peek in on after dinner chaos...

day three hundred fifty-six.

Poor Evie. I think this says, "TOO much love"

He's always wanting to hug "his Evie". 

We decorated the big gingerbread house too. This was before Liam climbed up on the table and ate most of the candy for decorating the house...

Rearranging the ornament of the year after Liam had moved it for the millionth time.

350/365

day three hundred fifty.

Some snuggles after a com trip, during which poor Evie got called "fat" by a possibly well-meaning grandma.

The grandma also wasn't quite sure if she was a girl or not, it's gotta be the red car seat. You'd think the pink blankets would help a little. I guess not.

349/365

day three hundred forty-nine.

A dreary day led to snuggling with baby sister during Liam's nap time. I couldn't help it- after we did school on my bed, it was just too cozy to leave!

345/365

day three hundred forty-five.

A little help burping. 

344/365

day three hundred forty-four.

So snuggly.

343/365

day three hundred forty-three.

 "You can put me down for tummy time, but I won't enjoy it".

342/365

day three hundred forty-two.

"Who are you? And Why are you hugging me???"

Owen was a big help today, since baby sister was a grump and cried pretty much anytime she was set down. She laid happily next to him for about fifteen minutes though during Liam's nap (when it was finally safe to lay her in the floor!)

341/365

day three hundred forty-one.

Cozy with Poppy, a panda dog hug, and Gavin toasting his toes by the fire.

day three hundred thirty-three.



Our five kids.

alternatively,

"it'll do". Mommy goggles wins over technical proficiency, since getting five kids to sit without one of them smushing the newborn is exhausting and my nerves can't handle trying this shot again anytime soon.

330/365

day three hundred thirty.

We had a busy day. Hard to believe this guy is TWO and the best ever big brother.




Everyone had to snuggle baby sister this morning.



Miss Evie was all smiles.





and Liam loved his cake. The video of him is so cute- I should try and get it on here or the family blog. He was singing along with happy birthday.





There was even time for mama and Evie shots.
