I began this blog with every intent on keeping it up weekly (or atleast monthly), but I haven't really done a great job in doing so. Thanks Kat for bringing it to my attention!!Having three children isn't as hard as you may think, but unfortunately you hardly ever get a break and I am always on the go!! I will do my best to resume my blogging responsibilities: here is a recap of events since the birth of Capps.
We enjoyed a wonderful Christmas this year, celebrating the birth of baby Jesus, and the birth of our baby boy!!
A few days after Christmas, we were blessed to have a wonderful family vacation provided by GIGI back to Disney World for New Year's!! This was especially fun, now with 14 people in tow. Having the baby (10 wks old) there was not as hard as expected, except for a couple of days that turned brutally cold!! But good times were had by both the children, and adults! (especially our adult only dinner)
Capps has turned out to be the BEST baby ever! Some say it's because he's a boy, or that he is the 3rd child- because truely, he has to go where we go. I think we were just blessed!!! He is always happy, always smiling, and growing up before my eyes. He was between 3-4 months in this shot, eating cereal for the first time. Just love his cute face!!
Laney turned 4 and we had a Polka Dot Party at our church's indoor playground. Everyone needed to dress in dots, enjoyed pin the dot on the dalmation, make dot necklaces and ate the cutest polka dot cake ever! My baby girl is growing up and gets more prissy every day!
Happy 50th Birthday to my Dad! I always seemed to have the youngest & coolest dad around. With your birthday this year I not only realize that you're getting older, but so am I!!
To celebrate Dr Seuss's birthday, Adlie was to pick her favorite character and dress up for school. I let my creative juices run, and came up with this, using all the resources I had at home. This also included a sundae cup enclosed upside down in her hair! She was a hit!
A couple of cute pictures of little man....
For Spring Break, we headed to Birmingham and Decatur to visit our Alabama families. We had a good time and took some great pictures!
Here are some other Spring Shots- including Adlie's first missing tooth...soon to be followed by the second the next week.
We made an early trip to the beach with GIGI for mother's day. It was nice to get away and not have any schedule! The kids had a blast, Capps enjoyed his first encounter with the pool, and slept in his tent on the beach for over 2 hours.
When we returned from the beach, we were back on a crazy schedule.We had only two weeks left of school, Adlie's birthday, and Capps baptism. Somewhere in the middle of this we also decided to put our house on the market, so some major projects have also been consuming our time.
Adlie celebrated turning 6 with an after school swim party including all 25 kindergardners. They enjoyed a special treat from the Ice Cream lady! But I am not sure that it all tasted as good as our homemade cake- yummy!!
We decided to do Capps infant baptism before the true dog days of summer began. We have a friend who let us use his beautiful property, which includes the sweetest little chapel. It was so wonderful to be with all of our family as we dedicated our precious son to the Lord.
Well, I am 3 hours into this "catch up" session. I will try my best to update weekly.
