It's a..........

Girl!

Many of you have already heard about the great news, but for those of you I may have inadvertently missed...

My sister Monica and her family (hubby Larry and their two boys, Theo and Tyler) found out today (via ultrasound) that they will be adding a little Girl to the family! This will be the first Granddaughter on both sides! We are beyond thrilled and are so looking forward to meeting her in the spring!

Congrats!!!!!!!

Ben is 10! Happy Birthday!

Here is a look back at the 10 wonderful years we've had with Ben...he is such a sweet and caring boy and a wonderful big brother to Owen and Jack!! Happy Birthday Ben, we love you!

Owen is Two!

Two years ago...........what a wonderful day~

On my way to have a c-section:
Baby boy!

So sweet and a month early!

I'm euphoric and loving our newest addition (ok, I'm a little drugged up in this pic)!

We love our new brother....

and here is the big boy now.....

Happy 2nd birthday Owen.....we love you! Thank you for coming into our lives and completing our family!

Because he's my brother........

I so love this pic of Jack and Owen! Ben is always lovin' on Owen and vice-versa, but Jack and Owen have a much more independent stance towards one another (no strain, they just like their space)......until now? This was so sweet and completely unexpected........

I love my brother!

Trick-or-Treating

This year the boys had a blast going out and collecting sweet treats! Even Owen got into it (but only made it to about four houses before he pooped out)! Here's the night documented in photos (not in chronological order)!
