Queen of her Castle

As the only girl in our house Savannah has her own room by default :-) When we were expecting her I was thrilled to finally paint a room pink! I am so thankful she loves babies, princesses, hairbows, and all things girly :-) Savannah loves to read stories like Little Mommy and Baby Dear and then play pretend with her own baby dolls. She adores having her hair styled with clips and bows and she always puts her hair accessories neatly on her shelf when we are done.
I am so thankful for our precious little daughter <3 she brings joy to my life every single day!

Lucky #7

Sweet baby Aaron! Our last baby, our grand finale, our lucky #7! I am so in love with him! He is 8 months old and growing up way too fast! He has 6 teeth and likes to bite! He is a fast and furious crawler and is cruising furniture like a pro. He is hitting these milestones much earlier than our other babies and it makes me sad because I want him to stay little! Aaron likes to squeeze and pinch when he is excited or frustrated and that can be painful for whoever is holding him ;-) He is a good sleeper and eater- just an all around happy baby boy. He is adored by all his brothers and mothered by his big sister. If only he would slow down and stop growing so fast!

Many Hands Make Light Work

And they were 7!!

Today Cameron John & Benjamin James turn 7! I continue to be amazed at the blessing of having twins. They have such a special relationship, even when they fight. Ben & Cam want to be together constantly and they have the sweetest ways of caring for one another. If one is behind in school the other will try to do his brothers work. If only one is rewarded with dessert for eating all his dinner than he will sneak some of his treat to his twin under the table. They truly are best friends.

Cameron is such an outgoing kid! He will sing and put on a show for anyone who will listen. He is easy going and has a great attitude with his schoolwork. He seeems to have the closest attachment to Baby Aaron out of all the other children. He likes to write his own books and attempt to sell them to relatives.

Benjamin remains my sweet sensitive boy. He has a stronger temper and guilty concience. He just has very strong feelings about everything. He is our artist and loves to draw and create. He dotes on Savannah quite a bit. Ben likes to tell me that he loves me more than any other kid does!

We are so thankful for our Terrific Twosome!!

precious savannah...you are one year old today. The sun is shining and the breeze is bowing through the windows just like it was on the day of your birth. As the sun is going down I am remembering this exact tie last year, how I was laying in my bed holding you in your pink gown wrapped in your pink balnket. The evening sun was coming through my back window and there I was finally holding a little person all in pink. I dreamed of you for so long savannah.
and tonight I rocked you to sleep and sang to you. We always sing you are my sunshine,jesus loves me, jesus oves the little children,and amazing grace- in that order. And then I pray to the Lord with thanksgiving and praise for blessing me wth you. You are my lifes greatest accomplishment, you completed me as a woman and as a mother. I wil cherish you each day God gives us on this earth. You are my precious sunshine.
today we took cupcakes to the park and I pushed you in the swing. Your brothers fussed over you all day. Daddy brought you yourf irst dozen roses tonight. And on sunday we will celebrate you with our friends and extended family.
you are such a silly gilr savannah! You laugh so loud, blow raspberries, sign milk and eat, scrunch up your face and smile. You still love to be held by mommy daddy and B. You just started pulling up on your feet and you still crawl on your belly . You love to eat, yogurt seems to be your favorite. You are a good sleeper and very strong willed. You make your opinion known very loudly. I love hearing you say mama and dada. We love you so very much. Nothing on earth has ever touched my heart like you have. I am so thankul to be your mommy.
