SICK SICK SICK...

Last weekend the kids started having heavy congestion and mild fevers, Rei spent the weekend like this...




Then Sofie started having some "tummy issues" and then Averi joined her, then Reiter joined her... so we spent our week like this...



In that one chair was one tired momma, 2 sick girls, 2 blankies, 2 pillow pets, 2 baby dolls, a stuffed dino, a stuffed monkey and 2 sippy cups! And yes when Rei was awake he joined in the chair party!It was the weirdest stomach bug too, they never had fevers just bad stomach problems. They went a full day seemingly fine and then started all over again! PRAISE the LORD they all seem past it now though!

look what I won

Before I had Rei some friends at work ordered him and the girls coordinating outfits, that I LOVED! I then started using the same girl to make them more outfits (she is a friend of one of my friends) ... I love EVERYTHING she has made for me, she is so talented and her stuff is high quality! I recently won a contest on Facebook for one free outfit per holiday for on kid for a year thanks to all our facebook friends who posted on Treats and Treasures wall for us! Here was my first order (i obviously had to get Sofie a matching on lol) ...

new camera

After 3 years of wanting a new camera we finally saved, and splurged and welcomed a Nikon D3100 into our home, and I am one happy women! Thanks to my big brother for helping us find an AWESOME deal on it! Here are a few new pics I took with it of my 3 favorite people to shoot! Let me know what ya think!

Reiter is 6 months!

Can you believe that THIS baby boy

Is now 6 months old?


He is still so amazingly even tempered! He weighs in @ 17.4 pounds and is in the 45th for weight and 60th for height! He is nursing 4 to 5 times a day, takes 2 naps, eats 2 servings of baby food that I have been making myself (and LOVING), he LOVES puffs, sleeps through the night (most nights :). He can sit up unsupported, but isn't yet crawling! He is happy and sweet and we adore him!
He loves his Johnny jumper. His sisters are constant sources of entertainment to him! He is a joy! My heart sings with praises to God every time I hold him, especially in the quiet moments when he is asleep on me, I am so thankful to God for gifting me the opportunity to mother all 3 of my babies. I have sincerely enjoyed everyday of the last 6 months, Reiter could not be a more perfect addition to our family!
