Life is Good

since the last post...

Pinterest is addicting. Trying to do more cooking.
Kindergarten is going great. School dances and trips to the theater are highlights.
Sickies come and go. The baby and the pre-schooler are getting hit the hardest.
RSV and puking are no fun! Poor girls. :(
Baby is growing up too fast. She is now 13lbs 8oz.

Working from home is great! I get the best of both worlds. Spending time with my babies and also bring in a paycheck!

Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Hanukkah came and went with very little drama.

Cheerleading done, next up Karate!

I will leave you with some pictures from the past few months.

until next time...

She's here!!

We welcomed Julia Marie Rapoport on September 9, 2011 at 3:33pm. She weighed in at 7#9oz and was 20.25 inches long.

She's a wonderful baby! - great sleeper, rarely cries.

        

the inspiration for her name.

a recap

hmmm, it's been a few weeks.

Look at the ticker over there -------------------->

Woohoo!! 35weeks pregnant, 35 days to go. I can't wait to meet the newest member of our family. Better put, I can't wait to get this baby out. Rolling off the couch, holding my belly up, swollen feet, fingers, legs....NOT my idea of fun....soon soon soon. Yep, that's what I keep telling myself :)

Most recent pic of my little basketball.

In other news, time to play catch up via pics.

MAY = Mother's Day spent at Minnesota's Historical Oliver H Kelley Farm. Loved the rustic feel, going back in time. (hint: click the pictures, they should get bigger ;) )

Layla's attempt at photography, she did a pretty good job if you ask me :)

the oxen were soon put to work plowing the fields

There was also a Preschool graduation in May. Congrats to Layla!

Nothing too exciting in June....skip to July.

4th of July weekend =  in Aitkin, with lots of family. water parks. picnics. sparklers.

 

and most recently....Layla turned 5

Happy birthday to my soon to be Kindergartner :)

and....that is all for now.
