My favorite piece of baby gear.

When we found out that we were pregnant with Charlotte one of the things I started to think about was all the baby stuff we had already given away. Any baby items that we had saved were in storage in Texas, and we wouldn't see those things until we moved. Of all the baby gear that we owned there was one thing that I really hoped that we had kept. We received a baby play gym at a baby shower when I was pregnant with Isabella, and it was the one thing that both Isabella and Jack really liked. It was easily portable, making it a great item for our family with all the TDYs and trips we take. I was so excited when I opened a box here Germany and found the play gym! So far, Charlotte likes it as much as her sister and brother did (and Jack still really likes it). :)


Charlotte 6 weeks


Jack 5 weeks


Isabella 4 1/2 months


Jack 2 1/2 years :)

Tummy Time

Of the three kids Charlotte loves tummy time the most. Isabella & Jack would just scream, and we'd use it to keep them awake in the evenings. On the other hand, Charlotte just keeps snoozing.

So Thankful

My parents spent 5 1/2 weeks with us, and it was such a blessing. I am so thankful that they were here to spend time with us as we adjusted to having Charlotte home. Isabella and Jack LOVED having their Nana and Poppy here!

Thank you Nana and Poppy!

Sisters

Happy 5th Birthday Isabella Claire!

Isabella celebrated her 5th birthday yesterday. She is such a wonderful little girl, bringing incredible joy to our family. She is very compassionate, loyal, full of life, and an amazing big sister. She has taken the addition of Charley as a gift to our family. We love you so much Bella Bear!

We had her big Princess party with friends this past weekend, and then had family party yesterday.

Yes, this is the kind of day Jack had yesterday.

One Month Old!

Charley was one month old on Saturday. In some ways I wish time would just stop. I don't want her to grow so fast, but I'm so thankful that she's healthy!

Just some pictures to keep the family happy :)

He really does love her (but usually ignores her)


She loves her...and shows it ALL the time!


Love from Nana

Who's watching Jack?

Obviously no one... (besides the person taking the pictures) and obviously no one's feeding him since he has to go in search of his own food.
