Our final days as a family of three...


A hanger sculpture...

And sculptures from play-dough!

Spring soccer... 

Still not overly into the sport... but at least he's outside learning something new with some other children :)


Warming up during a praticularly cold game on mommy's lap- not a lot of room these days, what with that giant tummy!

A little lunch with Livy and family at Chic Filet... Kieran's new favorite eatery (read- giant play place and fried chicken)

Kieran shows off his "magic pen"- Livy does not look terribly impressed ;)



A special birthday dinner at El Espalon with Nene Orange...

This is the reason Mexican was chosen- so they would shove a birthday ice cream treat in his face and he could wear a big hat!


More birthday treats at home- thanks Nene Orange!

The big "5" party at Bonkers... loved the flash cake :)

Stuffing his face while getting some love from a big cousin.

Squirling for the camera with Camden and Edith ;)

A proud birthday boy with his collection of tickets- way to wack a mole buddy!

Trying out his new ride- thanks for the Big Wheel Nana and Papa!

Pregnant mommy cannot keep up with this little speed demon!

Playing fireman with this new shower hose- thanks Auntie Joyce and Uncle Furcin!


A bicycle, not too shabby!

Playing with his spider webs (silly string) in the creek

Kieran loves our yard- a few trees and a trickle of water make for a wonderful place space- so glad we moved!


Is it just me, or does Kieran look huge to you too in this picture?!

Watching old school Batman and Robin at Nana and Papa's- this is where I used to watch TV too after dinner- of course for a large part of my childhood it was black and white ;)

The overly priced but too cute to pass up school pics...




The props and costume are hysterical... brought out the cheese for sure!



Love this pose and the lack of shoes ;)

Emerald's baby shower with the two proud grandmas


Our wonderful friend Michelle did such a great job hosting a beautiful shower :)


Nene Orange outdid herself again with a perfect cake- gotta love all the pink!

The spread- notice the giant pregnant lady is the only one eating ;)

Wonderful friends and family- such a perfect shower :)

Emerald's nursery... lots of green and faeries of course too ;)

This was my furniture from when I was girl... so happy to have a chance to share it with our daughter

Fairy ornaments in front of the dandelion mural... glad to find a use for them other than on the Christmas tree :)

An organized closet filled with lovely little girl clothes...

Kieran and daddy working on a picture frame at a sibling class...

I am sure Emerald will love it!

Checking out the nursery... holding his Ism monster that he diapered and swaddled ;)

Another sibling class- practicing his diapering skills again- Kieran is going to be such a great big brother!

A new found interest in his baby dolls... he took them to breakfast with us one morning :)



A visit with the Easter bunny at Bass Pro...

Waiting patiently for the "GO!' signal at an Easter egg hunt in Memorial Park... 

Look at that haul!

Not sure what this is all about...

Kieran with Reece, Livy, Aubrie and Maddie and Nora


Mommy and Kieran at the hunt

Kieran finding his Easter basket the bunny left on our front porch...

So many goodies!
Some family photos taken by a friend of Livy's 

It was really sunny!

Just another week or so before Emerald arrives :)

The pictures were taken at Stephen's Lake park
