Any given day....

Cheeeeesssse!


Avery loves to give kisses, especially to her babies.


I always check on the kids before I go to bed and this is how I found Avery sleeping one night. It was so funny. Of course I fixed her and she was not happy when I did!


I almost did not post this picture because of the background mess in Claudia's room, but it is so cute so I did anyways. This was right when we moved in and stuff was everywhere, thanks to the many helpers unpacking the boxes. The kids were dancing and playing dress up in their bathing suits and being so silly. I love Avery with the sunglasses on!

Remembering good times...

This video is so sweet, thanks Nancy!!

Wow... finally an update!

I know ... finally I am posting an update.  This is it in a tiny nutshell.  Enjoy and I will try to post more regularly.  :)

Saying goodbye....not easy. This picture shows some of the wonderful friends I made while in SA! You made it so hard to leave. I definitely left a piece of my heart in Texas!

Let the fun begin! This was our last night at our house. It was so bittersweet. The kids were having a blast among all the chaos!

A picture with all of my beautiful nieces and nephews in Orlando. We had so much fun with family, it was hard to leave.



Claudia and Liam with Nonna ( my Mom).

This is us at Disney Village. We had so much fun just hanging out and seeing some of the sights.

Claudia and Liam got to share a room at my parent's house and they had a party every night! This is usually how I would find them sleeping. They are both cozy in a toddler bed! There was another bed in the room too, but this is how they chose to sleep. It was so funny.

Avery at our new house. Her personality has blossomed and she in talking non-stop. I can't believe how big she is getting...sigh.

Here are the kiddos on their swing set that was left behind by the previous family. The kids are outside all the time swinging or playing with the neighborhood kids. I really think we are going to like it here.  We are doing great and everyday it feels more like home here. 

Taking a break from blogging for now. :)

Happy Halloween

Time to pick out the pumpkin at our favorite pumpkin patch.


Getting ready to leave to go "trunk-or-treating" at church the Saturday before halloween. Claudia is Pocahontas, Avery is a ladybug and Liam is a tiger.


As cute as a bug!


Here we are in the church parking lot.



Carving out the pumpkin with my helpers.



Halloween night and Claudia and Liam are excited to go knock on some doors. Claudia trying to smile and humor me with the camera, but her impatience shows on her face. :)



Trick or treat! The kids had a blast that night and we came home with so much candy!


Claudia and Liam had a great time handing out candy to fellow trick-or-treaters before bed-time.

My darlings

Every once in a while I can get all three kiddos to cooperate while I take pictures. These pics where taken the same day and each show off the personalities of each child.

Liam loves to make you laugh!



Claudia loves the camera.



Avery loves to suck her fingers!

Officially walking!

Avery started walking in the beginning of October after taking her sweet old time. Now that she is walking it is more challenging to get a picture of her or tape her. She loves to run away from the camera or run into the person trying to tape her!

Avery practicing walking.


Walking away from me when she saw the camera.
