Update...




Sorry it's been so long since my last post. We have been busy kids. Or should I say, busy WITH kids. Going from 2 kids to 3 is seriously like a slap in the face. With twins, you strategize and plan ahead, everything goes pretty smoothly. Now with 3, I can't even THINK ahead. It's crazy. I feel like I'm just jumping from one thing to the next. We're having fun though and I'm trying to get us on a "schedule"--whatever that means.
Baby Girl turned 1 month old on 9/22. I took her for her check up and she weighed in at 10 lbs 3 ounces--21 inches long. Amazing!! She is growing strong.

The boys have been LOVING kindergarten and are now on track break through the month of October, so I've been trying to be a little more creative in getting them away from the computer. They will play and play and when Mario has to get up to go to the bathroom, he'll say, "Don't touch my people," or "Leave my trucks alone" then he'll say "And remember, don't LIE!" We've been going to the library for storytime and numerous parks for picnics.


Papa came to visit for a week and we had a great time. We went to the parks and the boys went with him on a walking adventure.


We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa this past weekend and bless baby girl. It was a wonderful day for her blessing with Great Grandpas, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing.


The road trip there and back was long, but we made it. Mario and Luigi got really good at playing "I Spy". We only made a couple of stops each way, once for lunch, another potty break, and another time to have a lovely chat with Officer Bambi (yes, that was her real name). She just wanted to make sure we knew the speed limit on that stretch of the road. Sigh....she let us go with a warning. We were grateful.


I took all the kids to run errands with me yesterday. We went to Costco, I told the boys we could eat lunch at Costco and they could have pizza or a hot dog. Mario said, "I want a hot dog, but I don't want syrup or fruit on it." ??????? Uh, Okay....


'Til next time.

Hi Sara. I don't know if I have commented on your blog before. Maybe. Well, I love the pictures of your little girl. She is beautiful. And I can't believe how big your boys are. How fun! You have the cutest little family. Tell Jon hi for me.

You ARE a busy woman! But your little Rachel is so cute and I can't believe how big your boys are, I hardly recognized them. So with the pics if you are connecting through internet explorer you cant really move stuff around, but if you connect through firfox then you can click and drag, cut and paste and even resize your pics and text.
good luck! I'll be looking forward to lots of new pictures.

Hi Sara and Jon, Congrats on your beautiful baby girl! Yeah! 3rd time's a charm!!! Your boys sound so fun. I loved the comments about your drive and Officer Bambi! What a nice officer, concerned about your knowledge of speed limits. Lucky you - no ticket! Take care and be looking for a package in the next few days.

Hola Sara!!! Vaya, como ha crecido Rachel (Raquel en español)...Siempre pensé que te parecías a tu madre, pero despues de ver la foto de tu padre de cerca...uhmm ¡eres igual que él! Te pareces mucho a tu papá. Imagino que debes vivir una locura con los gemelos y tu bebé, mucha fuerza, eres una superwoman. Por cierto, ¿a quién se parece tu hija? Muchos besos para los cinco.

Number 3 was a huge adjustment for me. I can't imagine having twins and then a 3rd. It is all worth it though. I LOVE the funny things they say!!!
