Trinity

I've been gone from the blog for awhile, too long it seems!  I am back from my hiatus and ready to start posting about our journey through childhood and family and Waldorf.  First, however, the reason I've been gone.

The past year has been incredible.  Around the time of my last post, I became pregnant with our third child.  Along with that came extreme fatigue, and once that let up I was so busy working 40 and 50 hour weeks that I had no time to post anything, let alone take pictures of the very precious time I had with my children.

On September 18th, our third daughter joined us Earthside.  Little Nova Trinity was born unassisted at home, caught by daddy, after a fast and intense 1 hour labor.  I had some complications after the birth but am mostly healed up now, nearly 3 weeks later.  Nova is such a little blessing and we're so happy to have her.




And some recent photos of the other girls.. Nova has been stealing the spotlight as of late!




Enjoying an unseasonably warm day on our way to N's occupational therapy.


Apple picking!


Back in May- 6 months along, hardly a bump!


Having fun at a waterpark...


Conquering new territory! (N learning to pedal- she has gross motor delays and this was a huge feat for her!)


Getting our hair done up... back in May.


Just being plain goofy.

Goals! Agenda! List! Yay!

Every year before Christmas I go absolutely bonkers.  My anxiety is through the roof, I'm worse than a five year old.  And I don't even believe in Santa.  I'm not even getting any gifts!  In an attempt to regain control of myself, I'm going to plan out, here, on the bloggity, my week until Christmas.  heregoes...




Oh, and I'm up late tonight baking cookies.  I suddenly decided that it would be fun to bake for the entire family.  Lellie had a ton of fun helping me measure out ingredients.. She's in bed, but, as you can see, monster Moo is not...

= something that can only be done at night, when the girls are asleep!
