The last two and a half months have flown by to say the least. We moved two weeks after William was born (more on that later), celebrated both Ava and Lauren’s birthdays in February, Rachel had a root canal, and we had William’s blessing yesterday. I have not had two minutes to post anything on this blog, but I promise I will try to do better! With a newborn and two other children, any moments to myself that last longer than 20 minutes are a rarity! I am loving having a new baby though and finding the nourishment that comes from motherhood. What a great journey!
The other day Ava wanted to get out the camera and have a photoshoot. Here are the results.



Lauren’s birthday. Of course she requested a princess party. She is our little princess.


One more from the photoshoot. Ava took this photo and I love it because I look like a horse.
