Our family is growing!

We are expecting another sweet blessing early November!  Shortly before Bennett turned 1 Will and I were surprised with a + sign!  I am 18 weeks today and am having a great pregnancy so far. Kate & Wright are very excited and talk about all the things they will do to help. Kate's latest is that she can carry the baby down the stairs to help me get everyone in the car…uh oh! Wright says he will start getting Bennett out of his crib when he wakes up. Oh no! We definitely will have to curb these requests, but I am so thankful that they are excited and want to be helpful!

Finding time for the blog becomes more and more difficult, but I do love looking at back at fun events and pictures over the years. It is too difficult to capture the funny sayings, moments, smiles and milestones and I hope they remain in my memory for a lifetime. Here I can capture a brief snapshot of my blessings and joy!

Bennett turns 1~We celebrated at the house with a vintage circus theme! Complete with a photo booth, jump castle and sweets!

So much to say

I have found it more and more difficult to find time to post although there are so many things to write about! Kate and Wright turned 4 November 9th and we celebrated in Disney World! MOST MAGICAL TRIP! We made the decision to leave sweet Bennett with grannie which allowed him so one on one bonding time without having super long days at all the Disney parks. We missed him, but it was the best decision. We were busy at the parks, meeting the princesses, enjoying rides, parades, pools and more princesses!

Kate and Wright are so great with Bennett. They both talk about all the things they plan to teach him and they get so excited playing with him. He LOVES them and gets so excited when they play with him!

Our 4 year check up went great. Both healthy and growing up too quickly!
Wright continues to be about 8 lbs heavier and 2 inches taller than Kate.

They both enjoy school although Kate more than Wright. We had our first parent/teacher conference and they are both doing great! Wright did not recognize all his letters (he makes the sounds and knows all of them) and when asked his reply was, "My mom knows that letter, but hasn't told me yet"
He is too funny!

Kate received a dazzling dolphin on Monday for being so caring. When showing her wallet at show and tell she told her class that the money in her wallet was for the offering at church. So sweet!

Wright has been asking lots of questions about knowing God and meeting Jesus. He inquires a lot about love and asks so many questions. We love his active, inquisitive mind.

Bennett is crawling everywhere and walks around furniture. He has also started making lots of sounds! we think it sounds like mama and baba. He now has 6 teeth!

Thankful

Kate and Wright were asked by their teacher, Mrs. Bryan, what they are thankful for and to draw a picture. She then shared these with the class at their Thanksgiving Feast.
We will always treasure these!
