Luke Stephen is 7!

My oldest turned 7 on April 13th!  He is such an awesome kid!  He is a sensitive, compassionate kid.  I really see his personality shining through right now!  He loves to be with friends, play video games and board games with Daddy.  He joined Boy Scouts this past year and loved it, played basketball, and is soon to be starting up with baseball again soon.  He is a huge Chicago Bulls fan!  For his birthday we went up to Schaumburg, and stayed in a hotel there.  Luke choose to eat at Cheeseburger in Paradise for dinner the night we got up there, then we swam in the pool for the rest of the night.  The next day we got up early to head to Lego Land.  Luke and Gabby loved Lego Land, especially the 4D theater.  On the way home we headed to Portillo's for lunch, it was a great getaway to celebrate Luke turning 7! 

Gabrielle Susan is 4!

My beautiful daughter Gabrielle is 4! She has been such a joy these past four years for our family!  She has the sweetest, yet sassy personality!  This year is going to be a very exciting one for Gabby!  She just started Ballet classes, and will start preschool this fall!  It is such fun watching her grow, learn, and change everyday!  Thank you God for the blessing that my daughter is to me! 

Happy Halloween from Bane, Princess Tiana, and Elmo!

Spaghetti Night!

Colin has really been eating A LOT lately!  I'm sure he will be hitting a big growth spurt soon with all he has been eating!!  Look at those baby blues too, he will be a real ladies man someday!

Luke's First Day of 1st Grade!

Luke is now a big 1st grader!!  He was excited to start school, and see his friends every day again!  Last year he had a big adjustment with leaving home for the whole day for the first time, and having a baby brother born right before school started!  I think this year is going to be a whole lot smoother for Luke!  I'm excited to see all he will learn this year!! Gabby sure wishes she was going to school this year, but I am keeping her home one more year with me!  She will start preschool next year!

Colin Jeffrey is 1!

My baby boy is 1 year old!  What a beautiful day we had for his 1st birthday!  After last summer being the hottest I can remember on record, his birthday was a beautiful, breezy, perfect day!  We had lots of family over to the park for his party!  He LOVED his cake!  Colin is such a wonderful blessing to our family!  He is the most laid back, sweet, loving baby!  Colin was a surprise blessing to us, but now I can't ever imagine my life without him in it! 

Happy 6th Birthday Luke Stephen!

Happy Birthday Luke!!!  We love you so much!!!  Thank you for bringing so much love and light into our lives!  You've been a blessing far greater than we could have ever imagined!
