three in the nest : May 2013

some kinda year, some kinda pretty

So far, 2013 has been a tough one for our sweet Emma Kate.

We try to keep it light and positive, but it is what it is.

Asthma, allergies, alopecia areata, eczema...how much more can a girl take?

Hopefully she can take a lot more because sweet baby girl broke her arm over Memorial Day!

It's minor, will only take 4 weeks to heal, and the cast can get wet (again, we have to look on the bright side!).

It also matches her dance gala costume (no accident there I tell you).

Here she was today (day 2 of having a cast) getting ready to go to dress rehearsal.

Darling Emma Kate, I can't always shield you from the world and what it tosses your way, but I will cuddle you and sit right next to you while you go through it. You are one tough cookie and Daddy and I love you "much much".

Preschool Graduation

All three kids are elementary school bound!

Preschool is no more!

While I was sad when Caroline hit this milestone, I am rejoicing as the twins graduate preschool because they are ready!

One person in our family was done with preschool after Christmas. Getting him up and out the door on school days was a challenge and he was more than ready to go to big sister's school. Even though today was the last day he had to go, I still struggled to get him ready.

Smiling? forgettaboutit!
