Happy 6 months sweet girl!

Wow....how has it been 6 months already? Olivia Joy is such an amazing addition to our family! She is talking up a storm these days, eating all sorts of new foods, sitting up, and really enjoys playtime with her sisters. She weighs 16.10 lbs and is 25 inches. (another shorty in the family) She brings our family dynamic to a whole new level, and is ALWAYS smiling! My life is so rich and blessed! Here's a few recent shots of my sweet baby girl....

Blessings in Christ,

School days

As of September 8, we are officially a homeschool-in family! Things have been good, and I think we're starting to get in a good groove. Kayla can spell/sound out words and write them down, she knows all of her oceans and continents. She can name all the bones in her body. We have also been very blessed to have found and plugged into a great homeschool community/group here locally. On Thursdays, we have co-op classes with the group at a nearby church. This has been really great for the girls as well. Here are a few pics of school at home and Anna in one of her co-op classes. Enjoy!

Blessings!

Sweet sisters

Just a couple cute sister shots. These 3 little girls are such an amazing blessing in my life, and never cease to keep me on my toes!

A zoo-rific time!

Last month, we headed to Waco for a fun zoo day! The weather was absolutely PERFECT! I had never been to the zoo in Waco, and we hadn't had a zoo trip at all in at least 2 years. A fun time was had by ALL! Here's a few pics from the day....

Blessings!

4 months have FLOWN by!

Ok, keeping up with 3 kids, teaching 2 of them, trying to maintain my home in some kind of order, being involved in church activities, etc, etc have really put this blog on the back burner! I can't believe my sweet baby girl is already almost 4.5 months! Here's a quick pic I snapped of her on Oct 22 (her 4 month day)

I will be posting more updates later....I promise!

Blessings!

Proud big sisters

It was just like Christmas morning when I brought their new baby sister home....no, scratch that. WAY better than Christmas morning! They are such helpers to mommy, and the BEST big sisters anyone could ask for!

Olivia Joy Haefs is HERE!

Making her grand entrace on June 22, 2010, and weighing in at 8 lbs 7 ozs, here she is! She is 3 weeks old as of today, and such a good baby. Hardly ever cries, and is sweet and pink as can be. We just love having her in our family!

This picture is of miss Olivia just a couple hours after she was born....already a little fashion diva!
