Catching Up

When Bowen was born, I remember thinking how wonderful it was that we didn’t have to be anywhere or do anything. I’d sit and enjoy those baby snuggles without a care.

Man have things changed! With a 6, 3 and 1 year old we have something almost every night of the week, and I’m sure it’ll only get worse. I’d kill to have just one weeknight with nothing to do so I could soak up some Bowen, Nellie, and Greta snuggles.

Life has been a little crazy, and I certainly didn’t intend on neglecting my blog. Here’s what we’ve been up to –

Bowen finished up his third soccer season. He didn’t have any goals, but he improved tremendously.

We’ve made lots of progress on our new house. Maybe we’ll be in before the new year.

We went on Fall Break to the beach with our friends. It was a little wild with so many little ones, but we were so glad to spend time away from the daily grind.

We celebrated birthdays at the barn. Bowen and Nellie invited friends and family to Gramps’ barn for our annual party. The hay ride and maze get better every year.

Bowen was a bow hunter for Halloween, while Nellie and Greta dressed up as deer. As usual, we came home with too much candy!

We celebrated Bowen’s birthday a few times – that’s what happens when your grandparents don’t live near one another. I can’t believe he’s 6!

And we welcomed a new cousin into the world. Bowen, the baby hog, is ready to go back to Nana and Papaw’s to visit her.
