never...

...ever....would i have imagined - a year ago - how easily my heart would melt over this...

 

but oh man...it does, every time!

Happy 6 month birthday little buddy!!

i'm baaack! (for now)

ya, you know...it's normal, expected, okay been a long time!! (but not as long as I thought! all those posts since Levi's birth must have been written while i was in some state of oblivion!! because i have very little recollection of their composition!!)

Holy schmoly!!

seriously, please don't ask me where the time has gone NOR what on earth i have been up to, because i'd possibly spew my coffee not be able to answer in a word or 500!

i have tried to come back on here several times in the past while, but with the sieve that has replaced the space which once housed my brain, i can not EVER think of anything even my Mum would be interested in reading!! (read: she's one of my biggest fans, so would be willing to read anything.  Not intended to be a dig on her or her questionable choice of reading material...okay, i'll shut up now stop while i'm ahead-ish.)

so...there ya go!!  i am still here and hope you are too! hope this was a slight surprise to actually find a new post in place of the one that has greeted you for the past 3+ months!

please stay tuned to a more in-depth update on US...coming soon! (i promise!) 

and until then...i will leave you with these:  a peek of our little man, when he was still little (for you) and a reminder of sorts (for me!)

12 weeks

 not much has been happening around these neck of the woods...

but somehow mr. levi has turned 12 wks old today!!

 we love him...so much

 we feel so blessed!

 and his smiles and coo's melt our heart each time!! in fact, when we want him to smile or coo we generally have to call in the support of his big sisters, as they can make it happen every.time!! he loves his sisters...and they can NOT get enough of him!!

here's a picture of a hat i just made for the Craft Fair I'm in tomorrow...

not a good picture of my lil man, but you get the idea!

so...there ya have it! sorry things have been so sparse around here, but life is busy...Jim is (PTL) back at work until Christmas - a definite blessing given how much we have going on in December!  The girls are soaking up all the learning we are doing...our homeschooling group is off and running, meeting once a week...i have 4 fairs between now and Christmas.  So, unfortunately, blogging has not made it to the top of any of my to-do lists...but you go this one :)

2 whole months

wow...that's all i can say!

how on earth has 2 months gone by already??!

well...it has and we are enjoying each day with our little mister!

we've enjoyed the days gone by watching this little guy come into his own...

he grunts like there's no tomorrow

he makes noise unlike any I've heard

he's just starting to smile...which melts my heart each time

he's cooing, especially to his sisters!

and he calms down at the sound of my voice

he is still in our room,  something i find quite funny because the girls never made it past 2 weeks in our room!!

i think it's me getting a tad smarter the more children i have...WHY on earth did i put them in their own room...all the way down the hall??

having him close to me makes the thru-the-nite feedings that much less work in my sleepless state!

as much as i wish i had something more memorable or witty to say...all i can muster is we're doin' good

life's good

and what more could a girl ask for?!

official announcement...300th post!

quite fitting for my 300th post!!

one month...aka five weeks :P

what a difference a month makes

there are so many things that can be done in a month

my heart has grown in vast proportions this month

i didn't think i could love another child so completely

i didn't think i could function on such little sleep

i didn't think we would adjust to being "5" as smoothly as we have

i am BLESSED

life is good

the end

#1 and #3

lil bro and lil bro!!

quickly filling up the bassinet

stylin' lil man...at one month!
