Meet my sweet cousin Darby. She was kind enough to ask me to to take a few photos for her senior portfolio! We had a lot of fun and she is beautiful....:)

It's been a very busy week and I type this at a new level of exhaustion. Raising 3 kids has it's joys and thrills....and challenges - all wrapped up into one :) Nate is busy with school and indoor soccer. Naomi is working hard at potty training and dropping her naps :(. Norah has started speech therapy and nutrician therapy; and this, my friends, is simply small glimpse into the busy days :)

Have a blessed week. (is anyone even reading these posts??)

Happy Birthday Sweet Naomi Chunyuan!!!
It is so hard to believe she is 3.....and been in our arms for almost 2 whole precious years. We had a small family party this year - complete with a princess bounce castle, a Mulan princess cake and lots of pink balloons. For a few days leading up to her party, Naomi was singing happy birthday then practicing blowing our her candles - sure enough, when the time came and real candles were lit, she refused - so her big brother stepped in and gladly blew them out for her.
This year, Naomi:
1. started talking, even made short sentences.
2. became a big sister!!
3. has grown over 2 shoe sizes
4. has enough hair for 2 cute little ponies
5. gone from a crib to a big girl bed
6. as of last week, given up her dearly loved paci
7. almost said goodbye to diapers :)

We love you sweet girl!!!
