Look at those cheeks! She really filled out. It took a little while, but our little 7 week old baby is just about 9 lbs.


Mikey loves getting his picture taken. Here his is with his 2 favorite things - Sister Katie and Food.

Mikey is such a ham... here's his Extreme Close-up. Ahh... to have beautiful skin like his.

Motherhood

Do I look this sad when i feed the baby...lol she must think so. She loves her babies too!Little Zac is full of a life sharing with London!  He cant even take a bath without her in it...good luck little guy...or should i say big guy!

Back Home!

Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm back home full time with my babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I just finished my last day of work, doing parent-teacher conferences.  Not too bad.  I think I will definitely miss the whole professionalism of a job, the teaching, and the kids.  But I can't WAIT to be back to doing the mommy thing again.  FINALLY I'll get to be w/ the kids every morning and take them to classes, play dates, etc.  

Charlise got her cast off on Friday.  She still is too afraid to walk on it.  She is loving her new little preschool class.  So far, so good. 

Life is good! 

Auntie Alison and Kate

Just a clip of Alison and Katie in the hospital... Katie was 2 days old.

Birthday Boy and Baby Sister

Mikey blowing out the candles... the first time.



Mikey's been showing a few signs that he's interested in potty training. This potty probably won't be used for a while, but he loves playing with it.



Katie's one month old! Boy, that month went by fast. She's getting big... a whopping 7lbs 7oz! That's big! But then I remember people birth babies bigger than her, and I realize how small she is :) Everything about her is miniature and perfect.
Can't wait for the weather to stay nice! Now I have to figure out how to use that double stroller!

Still having fun in the winter?

Here are some pics from our trip to Traverse City. We stayed at Great Wolf Lodge, which has an indoor waterpark, and we LOVED it! I have lived in Michigan for how long? Almost 15 years...and have never been up there! It is so pretty, even when it is cold & snowy! I can't wait to see how it looks in the summer time!

Fun indoors!

So we do what we can indoors for the cold winter.  London loved finger painting!

Little Zac is getting so big.  Only 4lbs under London and only 8 months....not good.
She really wishes she could ride this bike...soon enough!

My Crazy Family

Oh my goodness. Fun family tricks from the Tates. Ross is determined to end up in the ER every chance he can get.  He was hangin with some friends and they were tryin to get the wheels off a skateboard.  Someone threw it in the air, and Ross's head ended up in the crossfire, so the board collided with his head causing him to need four stitches up there.  Such a boy.
Jazzy must be going through a growth spurt because she ordered this salad and ate almost every bit of it.  I am so sad she is growin up so fast.  Want her to SLOW DOWN. 
No comment on this one. We had a fun weekend with lots of cake and food.  Can't believe I am flippen 37!  That is crazy.  Looks like my wrinkles are deciding to come out of hiding and stay even after I put on moisturizer.  What a bummer.  But I don't care.  Just happy to be healthy these days.  Love and miss you ALL!
