So sorry I haven't been posting much lately, I feel like we are going non-stop! Monday morning the kids and I went to playgroup, the only time we've made the park this week. my husband brought me home a beautiful arrangement of flowers for no reason at all?! Strange as it is, they are absolutely beautiful! Tuesday was my Dad's birthday, he's 53 we spent the day up at Nana and Papa's! Wednesday we spent the day at Nana and Papa's again this time for mama to do laundry! Yesterday (Thursday) I worked all day and then got my hair done! and Today was filled with running errands and going to visit Dada at work! well thats more or less what we've been up to this week!

Happy 3rd Birthday Nathalie

My dear beautiful daughter I can not believe that you are 3 yrs old today! You are such a "big girl" in your self described term, and want to do everything yourself! You are potty trained (minus night time), you love to dance, play and sing! You dress yourself most of the time! you are high spirited with an overwhelming amount of energy! I love you dear daughter and Daddy and I wish you a very happy 3rd Birthday!

Happy 1st Birthday William

Dear son, it amazes me that the first year of your life outside of me has passed! You have become such a beautiful toddling boy! You chase your sister everywhere, and you love to laugh and play with her! You don't get so happy when she takes away a toy you were playing with and you often let her know that by screeching very loudly! You now have 9 teeth, and are walking, running, and climbing! You have found a new interest in Nana and Papa's dog scooby and get so excited everytime you see him! You still wake frequently to nurse throughout the night, although daddy has really been trying to help me out here and you are starting to wake less! Happy Birthday my beautiful little man, love mama!

No, I won't be turning William's carseat around!

When I tell people that my baby boy is 1, they say "oh how exciting, now you can turn his carseat around" I say, "yeah, I'm not turning it around until he's 35 lbs", here's why:
