Paravel was blessed last week. We were fortunate to have mine and Locke's Mother's in town for it

as well as my Aunt, Uncle and Sister-in-law's family.

It was a sweet day! We had a brunch with a few close friends and

just enjoyed the sunny weather with our new little girl!

I wonder what these girls are going to be like in 

just another year.

It was so nice having my Mother come and stay with us

I was spoiled to have her and she spoiled us all!

Extra pair of hands to help with all the needs of our family was 

much needed and she got a spray of experience. Dealing with a 5 year old's

crafts obsession to repairing fishing poles with Rocco and she even

changed a cloth diaper or two! Mom you did a stellar job.

Cute moment, when we dropped Honey off at the airport

Rocco started to cry when he saw Honey walk into the airport, then 

Armanie said, "I miss Honey already, I think I'm going to cry"

We all had a good cry. It was the first time I felt overwhelmed and alone. 

I was out numbered and with the lack of sleep, out smarted at times.

But from what I've learned with the 

other two the first year is the hardest.

This is the sweetest time though.  We have for sure felt the love of God as our family is acclimating to having Paravel here.  It's been a beautiful experience.

The boy's progress with potty training has been immensely affected by this

fishing pole.

We didn't know that when we told him he could go fishing if he kept his underwear dry he would take it literally and he hasn't turned back. For the last 2 weeks he's been in underwear. 

We've also ventured 

out of the house and he has done an amazing job.

He loves his fishing pole and I would gladly buy another if/when it became inoperable. 

I fix the reel dozens of times daily but he's so good at casting that it's all worth it.

She loves her so much! 

I love these peeps! And these littles love story time with Dad

I didn't know i was photographed. I've been trying to get Paravel's birth story down for 

weeks! And I'm thwarted on so many fronts. Blast you sleep!! I was able to stay up past 9pm 2 months ago...
