Yeah I AM a slacker...wanna make something of it??

Ok, so I have just realized that it has been two months since I have posted anything. So much for keeping up on this for my family. However in my defense, I found out I was pregnant the end of November and I have pretty much been sick and tired...literally...ever since. I think I am starting to turn around, but please don't say it out loud and if you read this knock on wood for me. Oddly enough I am superstitious about things like that. Ladders and black cats - nothing. Dooming my future by saying something and not knocking on wood, very much so!!

Anyway I have had many thoughts about things and cute events with the girls that I had wanted to post but I don't have the time right now to do so. Hopefully I will get back on track with this and I can keep you posted about the girls and the new adventures in my pregnancy.

We should be finding out the sex of the baby the end of March. I am just starting my 13th week or as I like to call it the fourth month of pregnancy, when normal "mommies-to-be" stop being sick and start looking like they are growing a baby and not just bloated. Well keep your fingers crossed, another superstition I like to go along with. A funny little tid-bit, while I lay around on the couch, Sam likes to ask what I am doing. When I answer, "I am growing a baby", she frowns, rolls her eyes and says, "Mom growing this baby is taking forever and it makes you boring."

Also in my defense, I did leave the house for a few hours today to take engagement/announcement pictures for my sister Jennifer and her fiance Jeff, which are getting married in May. I am really excited for them, the pictures turned out really cute. After twelve years they have really figured out how to look like they love each other in a photograph, or maybe it was just the awesome photographer...ha,ha! I did have fun though and was happy to be able to spend the day with them. Their wedding is going to be beautiful!! (Just like their flower girls and bridesmaid.)

Samantha Sharlene

Samantha was born on June 8, 2004. It was quickly discovered that our little angel had a severe birth defect involving her heart and lungs (CHD). Her condition was diagnoised as Pulmonary Atresia. In her first year of life she had three open heart, reconstructive surgeries. In 2008 she had her fourth open heart surgery for a valve replacement. Her life opened up a window to us that we had closed a long ago. Eventually our hopes and fears for our little one lead us to the window and we crawled through with all the hopes and prayers in the world and beyond for our new little family. Sam is now seven (or will be this June) and she is a light in our lives. She is smart, adorable, friendly, loving and the best big sister. She LOVES art and enjoys reading, music, being with her friends and being creative.

Layla Michelle

Layla was welcomed into our family September 12, 2007. She is my dark beauty. Big brown eyes and a smile that melts your heart. Layla will be four this year and she is a spit-fire! I didn't know so much sugar and sass could be packed into a little package. Layla is bound and determined to do EVERYTHING her big sister is doing. She is also a great big sister to Mady. Layla loves to dance and shows so much talent. She is the best eater we have in the house and she is willing to try AND do just about anything. She is excited for summer so we can get our annual Lagoon passports and do all the fun rides. Currently she really loves Pre-School activities, learning, being read to, making up her own stories, Dora cartoons and "Tangled". Every morning she tells me how beautiful I am as I do her hair..of course I tell her how beautiful she is too. She then says that she is growing her hair long like 'Tangled'. She is certainly our little princess and fills our days with magic.

Madilyn Lorretta

Madilyn is our little sweetie but also our fiesty redhead. She was adored by all when she was born on August 1, 2009. This little one could prove to show her Mama what a real DIVA is capable of. Mady is 18 months old, full of emotions and loves to play with her sisters, hear stories, and explore her toys. She has an infectious giggle and the cutest little run you have ever seen. This little girl also adores music and likes to bounce around to the tunes. Mady keeps us on our toes and has been the perfect addition and completion to our family.
