Happy Birthday Presley

I've gotten very bad about posting on the blog lately. In the past, it's because there's not much going on. The last month or so, it's because there's TOO much going on! Starting in September, we've been BUSY. Ava & Drew are doing Cubbies on Sunday night & KidsCore on Wednesday nights. We have Bible Study on Tuesday mornings & Moms2Moms all but 1 Wednesday morning/month. I've started working for Weight Watchers, so that's at least 1 afternoon/week that I'm gone. Add in a playdate every now & then & always something to do on the weekend..and free time....what's that!?
The 1st week or so, the kids had a hard time adjusting(I mean, US...busy? Never!) But, they seem to be doing a lot better with it now & Ava & Drew are really starting to make some friends(so cute!).

We are also right in the middle of lots of birthdays. My mom's was (a little over) 2 weeks ago. We celebrated by going to the zoo & Chickfila on the day, then when my sister could make it in, we had 2 more celebrations over the weekend.

Last Thursday was Presley's birthday. She has been having a blast opening presents & eating cake AND cupcakes. We did McDonald's for her birthday lunch & pizza for dinner with some yummy cupcakes. Yesterday was my dad's birthday & we had a combined 'party' (Jess joined us) with mom's lasagna & more cake.

Ava & Drew are loving this birthday season--even though it's not theirs. They enjoy seeing others open presents & sharing in the cake. And they just talk about when their birthday is. We're already excited about that!

We still have one more birthday to look forward to before A&D turn 4. Happy early birthday Uncle Casey!

Happy Birthday girl. She was a little tired of taking pictures at this point. Still looks super cute, though! :)

Big brother & sister. 'We love birthdays!'

Sweet, silly, sometimes grumpy, Presley. Happy happy birthday my little love. God so blessed our family by giving you to us. One of the best surprises I've ever received. You brighten our days with your super silliness, your goofy smiles & your constant talk. The doctor asked me if you were putting any 2 word sentences together...girl, you're already up to 7 & 8 word sentences! You love your brother & sister & are happiest when they let you play with them. They love you too.....and more & more let you play. This past week, you've told me you love me...and cake. Pizza & brownie bites are your favorites & you love it when Drew sings to you. You are still quite the early riser...you started your birthday at 5am! We're kind of hoping you'll grow out of that soon. Your favorite songs are ABCD's, Jesus loves me & 'red, yellow, white'(your title for Jesus loves the little children).

I love you, goose.

You are(1 of) my sunshine(s),

Momma

Aren't they precious!??
