Kapri, you are FOUR!

Kapri, you turn 4 today...FOUR! It WAS just yesterday that I got to kiss you for the first time and I swear this morning I was pinching myself that I brought such a perfect baby girl home. But no, it was 4 years ago. You are my true princess and your sense of humor is what gets me through some long days.  If I could write down all the funny things you say I could have made a few novels already. Let me tell you some of the things that make you, YOU!


* Micah is still your best friend, but you have managed to let Maggie (your school friend) take that title every so often.
* You LOVE to give kisses at very random times (I'm not complaining)
* You have adjusted to being a big sister to Maddux just fine, as you were a little apprehensive about him when you learned that he was going to be a boy!... I mean really you threw a fit and I have video to prove it.
* You have discovered Ranch dressing this year and you are now empowered to try any food, so long as it's dipped, smothered and dredged in Ranch.
* You are funny, seriously.
* You have 2 nervous tics:
1. If anything/situation makes you uncomfortable your first tic is to turn to me and say "Mommy, I love you"
2. If you are scared, hurt or sad your other tic is to say "Mommy, I miss Dukie"
*** We lost our beloved dog Duke May 7th, 2014***
*Every object that you put in your hand instantly becomes part of the royal family. Your fork and spoon are usually the King and Queeen, crayons and markers are the Prince and Princess'... and it goes on and on!
* You are such a girly girl.  Dressing up, putting on play make-up and painting your nails makes you so happy.
* You recently have been wanting to hit in the batting cage and when you asked, I secretly died with pride inside.
* There is not a night that goes by that you don't try and sneak into our bedroom, and when asked why, you simply reply with the same answer every time... "because I wanted to keep you company"

I can't thank God enough for bringing such a beautiful light into our world, keep shinning my love!

...PS, I swear you own clothes, you and your big brother are what we call Hippies :)

Giving Thanks...Kapri's Surgery and Recovery.

You know that sinking, useless, hopeless feeling you get when one of your children are sick or hurt? Those feelings were almost more than I could take when I went to take Kapri in for her 15 month check up on Tuesday morning and ended up in surgery Tuesday night... A little over two weeks ago Kapri began to limp on her right leg and after noticing I kept an eye on it and it would differ day to day.  Sometimes it wasn't even noticeable as she would run back and forth from her brother or just in her play.  Other times is was so noticeable I found myself holding her more than I ever had (after she learned how to walk).  I decided that it was time to call the Dr. and see what his thoughts were.  So Friday (18th) we got her in. The typical questions like, did she fall, was she pushed at school, does she have a temp, etc.  Since NONE of these symptoms seemed to be the case he wanted me to just keep her on Motrin and since she had her 15 month check up on Tuesday (...

Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter this year, especially with Micah as he is fully aware of these characters who come and leave gifts throughout the year. This year the Easter Bunny left a trail of eggs in the hallway leading up to a candy filled Easter basket (I cringe thinking of the next dentist visit!).  Matt and I loved hearing his little feet run through the hall and then to hear him gasp each time he found an egg was too cute!   We recently became members of a new church and decided to go to mass there (we usually drive across town to our old church to go to special holiday masses with mom and dad). After mass we headed to Mom and Dad's and had an AMAZING feast! Micah was bouncing off the walls with the amount of candy he had eaten, and once again, Mom out did herself with the kids' baskets she made. Here are a few pictures! 

Peace Out to Another School Year

It's so true what they say, time flies, so be carful not to blink too hard. I love seeing these first and last day pics side by side.  The growth always stuns me bit and sends me into meltdown mode. I see them everyday, why do I feel like I am missing them physically grow?! My only indicators are the thinning of dimples in their cheeks and on their little hands. We say peace out to 1st and 3rd grade today, and Maddux says peace out to life in general. I am always excited for the next step, but I trend lightly as it just means another dimple is fading. 1st and Last day of the 2016-2017 School Year
