~My Cowgirls~

~Sleeping Beauties~

The kids have been sleeping in their own beds the past two nights. (hip-hip-hooray!)
They have appeared in our bed early morning, but I'll take that for now.
This is how I found them this morning (in our bed). It reminded me of myself and my sister(s) as kids~don't know what I'd do w/out the four of them.
Just thought I'd share a cute pic~

Reilly & Caragh

There's just something about freshly bathed kids in jammies that's too cute.

Spent the day w/ Rex & Auntie Katie...

Today was a beautiful Fall-like day. Auntie Katie and cousin Rex came down from NH for a visit. We had lots of fun and the kids had a blast playing outside in this great weather. Reilly and Rex always get along so well. She plays mother hen and shows him what and what NOT to do. She's very cute and gentle w/ him, it's nice to watch. I think she enjoys showing him what NOT to do more though. She loves her cousins and we all enjoy getting together w/ them as much as we can.

My sister, Katie is newly pregnant (hooray!) and feeling pretty green. I feel for her b/c it isn't easy chasing an active 1 and a half year old boy on top of feeling ready to hurl at all times. Hang in there, Katie~it'll pass, it's forgettable and it'll be sooo worth it!

Great day guys! xxoo

From baby to big girl...

Not only did Caragh move into her big girl bed, but she also got a big girl haircut. Yup, all of her baby curls are gone (she needed it) and she looks so grown up now. Daddy wasn't too thrilled but she does look adorable. She's the last of them and even though we can't wait for some freedom back, it's hard to see her change and turn into a little girl like the rest. Well, I guess the rest (aside from Reilly) are women now, not little girls! It goes by quick!

Thank you Auntie Jeannie for the haircut~she looks like her cousins even more now!

Caragh's in a BIG GIRL bed!

Yesterday, Daddy set up the kids' beds. They are very happy in their new room and even slept there last night (yay!). They're pretty far away from our room and we were nervous, but we all did okay and I'm hoping this happens tonight and from now on.
No more monkeys jumping IN our bed!

Great Friends & Family

We had the Greenwoods, the Mastrangelos and the Jeff Coughlin clan over for dinner last night. It felt like old times, before we all became too busy to have these impromptu get-togethers. We really need to make more of an effort to stay in touch better and see these guys more. We realize how important all of them are to us as a family. What a great time, love you all!
