Where do I begin?

Once upon a time... i was pregnant.
On Nov. 29th Piper made her arrival. What a sacred experience labor is. I am so grateful I have been lucky enough to experience this twice. I cherish my role as mother. There is nothing more precious in this world to me, than my kids. Here is our newest....

PIPER REES WOOD

It was at love first sight.... for all of us.

Some things took a little getting used to.

While other things came very naturally
You know he has to love her if I find this lying in bed with her.
Life is definitely different...

But oh so good.

I will leave a larger, more comprehensive report on our second child to Lauren, but as I was working on some photos to print I couldn't help but share this one with everyone. My girls sure are beautiful. This is the day we blessed Piper, but it sure looks like Mom is glowing too.

Halloween

Woody came to our house for Halloween. Actually, he's been at our house since August when Liam happened upon this costume at Target- at least we got our money out of it right?


One of Liam's best friends, Tommy, dressed as Buzz. They looked like a real pair! Logan, more commonly referred to as "Mingo" dressed as Bullseye- but I don't have a picture. They all just looked so cute.

Then there was "Willa." Enough said...

The other day we noticed this gorgeous rainbow outside our kitchen window. When we went out front we were surprised to find to framing our house!
Liam really wanted me to dress as Jessie, but sadly he informed me that I couldn't fit in her costume.... Maybe next year. Hope you had a fabulous holiday as well.

Random

None of this is "new news" however, i think its worth noting. Have I ever told you I got a puppy?

Nothing can put this look on a 3 year olds face like a new puppy!


I won't show you the picture of a three year olds face when another family gets your puppy, but you get the idea....

It was a lot more sad than that, but more so for the dog lover of the family (me).

On a happier note, Liam has since found another buddy that never leaves his side-

Plus- who needs a puppy when you have a 3 year old friend who will "Rally" with you??
(yes... there is a sticker on the back on Liam's powerwheels that says GHBC Rally - Great Harvest Bread Co. Rally- wonder who stuck that on there??)

Happy weekend!

Wow. I'm embarrassed, ashamed, sickened, and down right bugged that I haven't blogged in so long. In fact, I'm so overwhelmed that I'm not even really going to write. Here is what has been happening in our recent past. Liam got rid of his "ga-ga," (oh and he turned 3),Wil ran 50 miles on his 29th birthday and Liam drew balloons on Wil's back for the big day, Liam also made Wil an awesome poster with little people on it (I love his little people) and we went to Disneyland for my mom's 50th (all of these pictures were from my phone so sorry for the lack of quality). Enjoy the pictures- more text to come soon!














Liam was so tired on the way home
Oh! And as most of you probably know, we are adding this sweet addition in a few short weeks (she looks a little like Liam sleeping in the picture above!)
