A bit of catching up to do....

Well fall is finally here, school has begun and we are off to a great holiday season. Turner is enjoying full day preschool and the girls love attending a one day a week cooperative preschool. They are just getting so big! The girls are talking now (all the time), and Turner is a constant source of laughter. While they may challenge us each day, we are constantly reminded just how lucky we are to be their parents.

Random Photos... too good not to share!

Here are a few pictures from some of our summer adventures. From Marley pulling her brother in the wagon at the zoo to various scrapes and sibling bite marks, here are just a few of my favorite pictures from the past couple months - more to come soon if time allows!

Birthdays and much more!

I seem like I am always behind on blog posts. I guess I have to be okay with posting whenever a spare moment presents itself, so that may mean one post in three months and then several in a week (if I am ever that lucky).

So here is the belated update; our little kids are not so little anymore! Turner is now 4 and becoming such a great big brother. He tells us often he wants three sisters, we are not too sure if that means on more or three more but either way he is out of luck! He just got a big boy hair cut and looks so much older! He will be starting full day preschool in the fall and while I am nervous to have him gone for such a long stretch of the day, I am so excited for him. He is going to be so busy and engaged at school, I am sure he will love it! He is already reading short words and spelling so they can keep him far busier than I can at home with the other two handfuls!

The girls are growing into their own unique personalities. We at times call Morgan our Drama Queen or our Princess, she is our cuddler but also the one with a fierce attitude. Marley is our daredevil, we are know to call her Mighty Mouse (her nickname from her delivery nurse), or Bam Bam. She has no fear, is incredibly independent and nothing will stop her.

They keep us busy and for the most part we feel like 24 hour a day referees. They challenge us, make us laugh and remind us why we became parents!

A much needed update....

Life with three kids has kept us busy. We are thankful to be entering into Spring and finally out of cold and flu season. I think we are all finally healthy for the first time in months.

The kids are all growing so fast, they contiue to make us laugh (and sometimes cry) each and every day. They are getting more and more independent and are such combinations of Neal and myself. All have tempers and all are very strong willed, we like to call them our "spirited children".

Definitely related.....

I found this picture of Turner, it is one of my absolute favorites. I am guessing he was around 18 months or so in this picture. I also have a picture of the girls from around the same age. It cracks me up looking at these photos. I can see Turner's resemblance in both girls. Morgan and Turner have the same eyes, while Marley and Turner look alike in a lot of other areas. The both have the same hair. Marley's is finally growing in, it is getting curly like Turners was in this picture. They all have one think in common for sure..... their huge attitudes and gigantic smiles!

Christmas 2008

As always I am a bit late in my post of recent photos... what can I say?! We had a fantastic Christmas and enjoyed spending time with family and friends. We also enjoyed the first snow fall of the winter, the second and third snowfall of the season were just plain annoying. The kids did not know what to think of the snow and they definitely did not know what to think of Santa. Turner was fine with Santa, Marley and Morgan on the other hand... well the picture tells the entire story.
