Picture Day

Well the other day was picture day at school so the kids got dressed up a little and I took some photos of them before they headed off for school. I really am starting to freak out that my kids are growing up so fast. It has been such a huge blessing to have these 3 beautiful children in my life. Each day is crazy and hectic with non stop work but I would not trade it for anything. I hope Philip can soon be apart of all the fun around here. We officially have the house on the market,so please pray that God will bring buyers. In this market it will be very hard to sell...but all things are possible with God. He sold our last house to the only person who came to look at it while it was on the market. He knew exactly how it would all work out. I know he will have his hand over this house as well. We just need to get back together as a family!I hope to be taking the Halloween pumpkin patch pictures today after school. I am worried about going around any hay as it seems Ethan has really bad allergies. I am trying to monitor his cough as we do not have insurance for him until Nov.1st. I just hate the idea of spending $150.00 just so the doctor can say give him over the counter allergy meds. However after the 1st he will be going to the doctor for every little thing I can think of. So please keep him getting better in your prayers. My worst thought is that it might be the dog. They say it is so hard to figure out if that is the cause. We are super in love with the dog and getting rid of her will be beyond heartbreaking for the kids as well as me.

October Random Pictures

I had to post just a big bunch of mixed random pictures because if I tried to write about each one it would take me forever. We are putting the house on the market in the next week and I know that is going to keep me pretty busy. We are still hoping to be all together as a family very soon. The kids are great all A's and B's for Elias and Eliana. They both love school but wish it would start around 10a.m. I must agree it seems to make more sense to me as well...lol. Ethan is now 8 months and is starting to do all kinds of new things. He loves to try to unplug the TV and chew on my camera and computer cords. I tell him No No and he just looks and laughs every time. We are expanding the types of baby foods he is eating and I think he is finally over his milk allergy...yippee!! We are all pretty excited for Halloween to come around as the kids have really cute matching costumes. I think I might even take them to a studio to try to get a good picture...will see. I prefer the pumpkin patch but it is still so stinking hot here. Today the kids played outside in their swim suits and washed my car while I worked on the yard. I will be posting updates on our move and such as things become more solid. P.S. I am fully aware of the fact that I take way to many pictures of Ethaniel...but I just can't help it he is so darn cute!!!

We adopted a new puppy dog.

Well we just couldn't pass up this sweet little girl who needed to be adopted from a rescue. I think she is doing really well. I mean she is spoiled rotten but it has been a week today and we are still accident free...yippee! I love how much she loves the kids and she is great with the baby. I feel we are very lucky to have her in our life. It has been pretty gloomy without a dog in the house and Miss Naomi is a little ray of sunshine. We want to change her name but she seems to know it pretty well so we might just keep it. The kids are in hog heaven with this little doggie.

My Silly Girl

My cousin Jenni gave Eliana her old Halloween costume before she moved off to AZ. Well we tried it on her and she didn't quite have the figure to fill it out. Just for laughs I let her stuff with 2 balloons but I told her that if she stuffed the front she would have to stuff the back. We took some pictures but don't worry she is not going to be allowed to trick or treat in this costume for some time.Eliana will always be one to make people laugh, she just loves to be silly.
