WOW...so it's been awhile


The other day I came into the kitchen and noticed that Shawn was looking at my blog. It hit me then that I haven't updated this thing in a LOOOOONG time! I'll do my best to condense the past few months into a couple of paragraphs.

First...Sophie was born on July 7. She turned 6 months old yesterday. She is an absolute dream baby. She is happy and cuddly and sweet...and has completely stolen all of our hearts. Her big sisters adore her and the feeling is completely mutual. Keira and Reagan can make her laugh these great big belly laughs that are just the most amazing sounds in the world.


Reagan turned three on November 10. How can I describe her personality...? I think Kelly says it best when she calls her quirky. She's definitely a "middle child". She's mischievous and can be sneaky...but she also gives the best hugs ever! She is struggling to find her place, and I think, at times, that I need to be a bit more understanding of her struggle. She's so smart and constantly surprises me with the things she says and does.



Keira will turn five on March 11. She's in the 4-year old class in preschool. She's also a smarty. On her first quarter report card, she had mastered almost all of the skills that she needs now (and will need by the end of the first quarter of kindergarten). We're still working on writing her letters, but that will come. She is our sensitive and dramatic girl. She gets her feelings hurt very easily and is always concerned with how others are feeling. She is very sweet and is growing up FAR too quickly! As a matter of fact, while I was writing this, she insisted on changing Sophie's (wet) diaper for me. *sigh*
