Where does the time go????




So it has been a few months...I guess you could say Life gets in the way of blogging or I have been very busy with taking care of my little beauties, holidays, tutoring, watching Abby's boys, and keeping our house in order. I feel like I could write a book about all we have been up to!! Even though time keeps ticking away, I am really trying to savor the sweet moments of where Isaac and Lily are in their lives. Last week we got snowed in, in Des Moines and stayed at Dane and Brooke's house. As I put both of my kids to sleep laying in a bed with Isaac next to me and Lily in my arms, my thoughts wandered. How precious this time is and how fast it will soon be over and they will be teenagers. I could have stayed up all night watching them!! These are the moments I LOVE as a Mom...there is nothing better!!!

Updates:
Isaac is our little smarty pants!!! He is learning so much each day and keeps surprising us with how much a 1 year old can do. At this rate, he may be reading and doing math before he turns 3. I LOVE teaching him!! He is also talking so much now and "helping" with his sister!! His favorite activity to do right now is empty the dishwasher!!! Such a sweet boy we have!!

Lily needs to slow down on her movement!!! Last Friday she pushed herself up on all fours and on Sunday was crawling backwards. At 5 months old, it is entirely too early for a baby to be moving. I may put some weights on her to stop this for a while! Her favorite activity is jumping in her jumper and laying on the bed while Isaac moves around her. She is always belly laughing at him!! She adores him and vis versa!!

Luke is getting closer with the basement!! The end is near and we will have our entire house back!!

Let the Fall Holidays begin!!!

We have been having such a fun week! I love this time of year October-December. Getting ready for Halloween has been lots of fun this year. Isaac is actually aware of what is going on and he is really excited to be his favorite animal- a dog. We carved pumpkins and are painting pumpkins tomorrow, played in the leaves and did crafts with them, made ghosts out of our hands and so on. We are going to the Zoo tonight to do the Night Eyes Halloween Special. Here is a quick preview of my little dog. Lily is going to be a bumble bee. There will be lots of pictures from the rest of our Halloween adventures.




We had one of Becky's friends take some pictures of us. She is an amazing photographer an we would recommend her to anyone!! She is going to do another shoot of the kids in a week or so. These are from when Lily was 1 month old and Isaac had just turned 18 months:)
