Home again...

... after two weeks and 3,431 miles!!!

We are so thankful that we were able to make a last minute road trip to visit my Hubby's parents in Arizona and (finally!) introduce them to our little Rose!  It had been 2 1/2 years (way too long!) since we saw them last.

We had a great time and I have all sorts of pictures to share, but first I need to put the groceries away, unpack, start the laundry, and get ready for the First Sunday of Advent!

I hope you all had a very HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

All Ready for the Pumpkin Patch...

We had such a great time yesterday afternoon... 
I'll be back with more pictures soon! 

Back-to-School :: 2010-2011

Captain :: 4th Grade ~ Rascal :: 3rd Grade

Twinkle Toes :: 1st Grade ~ Chiquita :: Kindergarten

Just like last year, the kids all woke up to find Schultütes filled with snacks and school supplies!  Even Snuggles, who wouldn't let me take an individual picture of him and will be focusing more on potty training this year instead of school, loved his mini version.  

Overall we had a great first day!  I decided to start on Thursday since we have a Back-to-School Mass & get together with our Homeschool Group today and should now be ready to start on our "real" schedule next week. 

Comparing Baby Pictures #2

Twinkle Toes ~  around 3 months old

Rose ~ 4 1/2 months old

I've always thought that they look alike!

Back to Reality...

Today Hubby went back to work and we are also back to school. 

Sigh.  It has already been a crazy day and it is only 10:00....

Hope your Monday is off to a better start! ☺

Comparing Baby Pictures

There has been a bit of a debate over who Rose looks the most like, of her siblings... Hubby & I see the most resemblance between her and her oldest brother (Captain) and sister (Twinkle Toes). Most everyone else seems to think she looks just like Chiquita... What do you think?

I can hardy believe she is 3 weeks old already!
