"just swingin"

This little man got in on the action of a swing!!!!
He loved it and his bro and sis loved pushing him...
Makes me even more excited about the warm weather to come!

play time at home...

(catch up time....)
We have definitely been enjoying our time at home...
Having Gabe in preschool this year has definitely got this momma thinking about school days...
Its only two years away and so I am trying to savor every
min I have with all of them being at home.

After being sick for a whole month...

Painting and getting ready for baby Grace...

It was very refreshing to make a well visit after so many "not so well" visits.

Ella turns THREE....

A BIG Thanks to all the brave souls who entered this sickly
household to make a little girls dreams come true!!!

Ella had been looking forward to her birthday party for a while and when the day arrived she was sick with high fevers.... no big deal we pushed it back to the next weekend.

The next weekend rolled around...
We were doing good....
Saturday we enjoyed two of our friends birthdays...
Saturday night when we got home miss Ella threw up everywhere!
EEK...
At first Andre and I related it to much sweets for the day....
But then it happened again!

So the next morning we let everyone know that she had been sick but she was now holding things down and that we were moving forward with the party bc this momma did not have the heart to make her wait AGAIN to have her party!

We had some awesome friends that came braving the sickness to make Miss Ella feel special!

This was the first year she was involved in telling me what she wanted for her party!!!
Pink and purple princess...
And that is what we did!
