Loren's K Picutres

Loren has received her school picture for this year. Enjoy!!

Forget March Madness..Easter Madness!

We had a wonderful Easter this year. It was rowdy(45 people!!) but the kids really enjoyed having everyone here and having a lot of playmates. Of course the Easter Egg Hunt was a big event with Quinn making out with $24 in cash by the time it was over. Amazing...he slept through most of it! I think one of my favorite memories was the excitement of Loren and Colin while we were dying the eggs. They had so much fun mixing up the colors and making all sorts of swirls. Quinn enjoyed finding where the bunny hid them the next morning. You see the picture where he is smashing the eggs together? Yeah..shells everywhere. OH Quinn!!

Snowtime Fun

Here are some shots of Colin and Shawn having some snow day fun a few weeks ago.

ONE YEAR OLD!!!

I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow
And each road leads you where you want to go
And if you’re faced with the choice and you have to choose I hope you choose the one that means the most to you
And if one door opens to another door closed I hope you keep on walkin’ ‘til you find the window
If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile
But more than anything, more than anything
My wish for you Is that this life becomes all that you want it to
Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small
You never need to carry more than you can hold
And while you’re out there gettin’ where you’re gettin’ to
I hope you know somebody loves you
And wants the same things too
Yeah, this is my wish

**With each of my kids, somewhere during those wonderful nine months of pregnancy...I had heard a song that really talked to my heart and to my baby to be. The above song is "Quinn's Song". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMdpzPX9VDw
Here's a link to the full song. I find it hard to believe that my little guy turns one year old in less than three hours. We've been so blessed to add him to our clan. He's the perfect addition. Every little bit of him. Happy Birthday Little Monkey. We love you!!**
