Molly - 8 months

This baby is so much fun.  Seriously, I love this big, squishy baby!!  I have joked with people that Molly is my biggest baby because I am all soft and squishy too (from not getting to workout, thanks to my gym's daycare policy) but now that I am nearing 9 months (when my other 3 babes were tiny and starving and I finally switched to formal) and this baby is happy, squishy and healthy....I'm thinking there is probably some truth to it.  Who knows?  But she is easy, happy and just so fun to snuggle.  She doesn't give away her smiles easily but is getting used to being around other people.  She crawls super fast, pulls up on everything (her favorite thing being her brother's lego table...and I have fished way too many legos out of that little mouth) and she loves to stand for a few seconds at a time on her own.  She does this laugh where she scrunches up her face and breaths in and out of her nose and when she does it I just want to eat her up.  She loves to eat everything and moved to table foods way earlier than an of my other babies.  She still is not sleeping through the night anymore but I love her too much to care.  She loves her siblings and they make her laugh all the time.
Molly Jane, you are the best!

First day of school - 2014

Kate is in 3rd Grade in Mrs Bishop's class.  She is excited to learn multiplication and division.  She thought the first day was really fun and was so excited to see old friends.

Sawyer is in 1st grade and has Mrs Tierney.  He was also really excited about the first day and excited to make some new friends.  This year he wants to learn about planets.  He says his favorite thing so far about 1st grade is snack time.

We got home from Utah on Saturday and started school on Monday.  We had a little bit of a hard time with the time zone transition but things are calming down and getting back to normal.  These kids love school and I sure love them!
