Photos of the Kids

 I am going to try to get caught up on our blog. I have gotten pretty behind, so excuse my photo dumps I will be doing this week!

Out by my parents house there used to be this gorgeous field that was perfect for photo shoots. They have recently torn it all apart to put in town homes, which makes me so sad because it was such a perfect and beautiful area for photo shoots! Anyway, here are some adorable shots I got of the kids out on that field!

This picture and the next one of Siena really capture her sweetness! I love this little girl!

 How on earth did I actually capture photos where everyone is happy and basically looking at the camera!? Seriously though, that really surprised me when I got home. I usually just keep snapping pictures and then when I get home I hope that I captured some good ones, and this time it really worked out!:)

 This little guy is so sweet and gentle natured. We love our little Declan

 Then there is cute little Brighton who is just a sweet ball of pudge! I could just eat him up!

 I caught these next shots a few days later as well.

 Brighton was crying that he was cold. Poor guy, but so stinkin cute!

Post-Valentine's day cookies

I am going to attempt getting back into a routine of blogging again.

Today I documented a few cute moments and didn't want to lose these pictures in the midst of all the other millions of photos on my computer.

Brighton got a little after-bath play time in a diaper.. baby chub is probably the best thing on this planet, so how could I not document this little butter ball?

The kids and I cut out sugar cookies and then Siena and I iced them while the boys were down for naps. Pure joy right here:

Life is good. We are one month away from our new house being complete too which is amazing. Joel and I also planned an awesome little getaway to Europe in the meantime (thanks to my fabulous parents and sister who have agreed to watching our kids while we're gone!!), can we go yet?!?!

Siena's amputation and first prosthetic summary

Siena's amputation went well and she has her prosthetic and is doing fantastic! If you want more info on that you can head over to the blog I put together that is just all about her Fibular Hemimelia. This is the link for that: Fibularhemimeliajourney.blogspot.com
Here are a few pictures to just sum it all up:

Long story short, Siena is amazing! She has really surprised us ( and in most ways, it wasn't really a surprise because she's always had such a positive outlook on life) with how well she has done with it all.
