Life as I know it

Wow. 9 months. That's how long it's been since I have blogged. I think about it. all.the.time. But I am quite frankly just too lazy. With the arrival of our 4th babe, Nolan, I feel overwhelmed to say the least. And tired. Oh so tired. As I watch my kiddos grow before my eyes, I look back at this blog that I used to keep up with and it makes me sad. I went to find pictures for Jeffrey's 3rd birthday slideshow and some albums that I opened had 15 or less photos in them. :( I love photos. I literally see every moment as a photo. I cherish what those frozen moments become. Memories. Like my workout routine, I have made myself promise to start blogging again. So here I am. Where are we? We now have 4 kids!! Ella- 5 in October, Jeffrey - 3 next week, Ty- 20 months, and little Nolan- 10 weeks (born 6 weeks early). I am beyond blessed and even more grateful for what this life has brought me. We recently moved to a new home - back in WI - and I couldn't of chosen a better neighborhood to raise my family in even if I tried. So many new friends for all of us! My little 'Uper-'An! The boys killed their room one day. I had spent most the morning cleaning and organizing and when I went in to see what the ruckus was, I was non too pleased. In fact, I was down right pissed, and frustrated! I had to walk outside and let some tears go. When they finally fell asleep I snuck in to assess the damage. This is how I found them. My dad, step-mom, and little sister all came in for a visit last week, it was so great to have them! My dad helped us with our landscaping and it looks amazing! He and Ryan had some little helpers. :) The rest of the photos are summer randoms. my little preemie isn't so preemie. 10.5 weeks. More tomorrow.
