Why I have been hiding...

Ok, now that I am past all the spring birthdays, I can make my confession.
I have the baby blues...it is silly I know, but that doesn't make it any less real.

I first started realizing in it Jan. The hardest part is coming to terms with the fact that Gabe and I are done having kids (unless God surprises us again). I know we are still young but we have 4 kids!! And we are busting at the seams as it is.

I cried ALOT the first few weeks when I realized that I would never again hold one of my babies for the first time, see them take their first step or hear them say their first word. My little Elle just turned 2, she is sooooo much the little toddler. Has it really been 2 years since I first held that precious chubby girl? It doesn't really seem possible...now she is running, climbing, singing, and way too busy for all my snuggles...
So as much as my heart is longing for a soft baby of my own, I will just have to make do with Jada's and Cassie's babies when they get here :)

That is my confession, my blah feeling explained, and why I have been hiding from my blog...some things are just hard to put into words...


*Warning* If you bring this subject up in person, I am very likely to cry...now you can't say I didn't warn you :)

Gabrielle

Today my sweet baby turns 2.
She is such a blessing to our family. I am so glad that God knew we needed her even though we didn't think we were ready.
She is quite possible the sweetest baby ever! She has captured all of our hearts.
Happy Birthday my little Angel!! I love you!!

It's been awhile...

Yes, I have been hiding from my blog. Sometimes things are just hard to put into words. Maybe it's the gloomy weather, maybe it's cabin fever, maybe it is something else all together, but I have been feeling....blah.

All my kids had their yearly exams a few weeks ago.
Anakin is a staggering (hehe) 49" and 48lbs. (5% on both)
Anastasia is close behind with 48" and 46lbs. (20% on both)
Sorsha is tiny at 34" and 26lbs. (5% on both)
And Elle is 32" and 26lbs (20% HT & 45% WT)

All received a perfect bill of health. They are all right on target for their ages and Sorsha and Elle were advanced in several areas. I am a very proud mommy :)

I will have more to post soon :)
