Sisters

They love their baby sister!

Who do you think she looks like?

The first two pictures are Karly and the others are in order, Cade, Claire and Chloe.

Karly Patricia

Karly Patricia joined us on Ocotober 1st weighing in at 9lbs 1oz and 21 inches long. It was a long day getting her here but it was well worth the wait. She is a perfect little girl and loved by all. There have been fights over who gets to hold her.

Claire lost her first tooth!

Claire has had a loose tooth for over a week and she finally let us pull it out. She was SO excited when it became loose and that excitement is what allowed Casey to pull it out. She is on cloud 9 right now saying, "I lost my first baby tooth!!" She is carrying it around in a little case for the Tooth Fairy showing everyone how tiny her tooth is. Too cute.

Saturday was a day of competition!

Saturday was quite a day for our family. Casey started his day really early participating in his first spring triathlon. I wish I could have been there to take pictures of him and watch him but as everyone knows with those races you really don't see them much. So I don't have any pictures of him in his sexy black shorts and red swim cap! He has been training for a few months and did great. He had a good time and wants to do another one but will have to wait until spring since the next one is next month and we will be a little busy next month with the new arrival.

While Casey was busy swimming, biking and running, I hauled all three kids and my pregnant self to the overcrowded soccer fields for Cade and Claire's first soccer games. It was mass chaos at the field and here I am carrying a bunch of chairs with kids trailing behind me trying to figure out where the field was Cade was supposed to be at. And it was HOT!!!! The kids had a great time and Claire even got a goal! Casey was able to make it for the last 10 minutes of Claire's game and saw the goal.

Chloe started preschool

Chloe started preschool a couple of weeks ago and loves it. She had a hard time watching her brother and sister going to school because she wanted it to be her turn. She wishes she could go everyday and asks, "How many more minutes until I go to school?" when it is a nonschool day. At least she is getting the concept of time!

Back to School!

Yesterday Cade headed to 2nd grade and Claire to Kindergarten. Claire was SO excited, Cade not so much. We walked to school with a bunch of kids from the neighborhood, one of the kids commented that we looked like a parade. We walked by the Kindergarten entrance and Claire started to head that way all by herself. I had to call her over so that we could make sure Cade found his line and then take her to her playground. Cade had some friends in his class and he is used to the drill so after he found his line he took off to play on the playground. As we were walking Claire to her line I asked her if she was excited or nervous and to be honest I don't think she answered me, she was so focused on getting to her class. She immediately lined up and I could have walked away and she wouldn't have noticed. She was ready! I had to make her wave to me! She walked in the classroom and I peeked in on her and she was just sitting there not looking for me just ready to start her day. She is loving it, which makes me really happy.
