Well, it hasn't been easy, but we're on the road to adjusting to life with 3 kids. Only took us 3 months! Yepp, that's right, our baby girl is 3 months old now.
We just love her to pieces ....even though she's got quite a temper she can turn on & off anytime she pleases. This has made daily life more complicated & very busy. But when she's happy, she's very happy! Smiling, cooing & "talking" to us. The boy's still enjoy her very much & ask to hold her, but she's more difficult for them to hold at the moment. She's not content to just lay in their arms anymore.
I have SO much fun dressing her in all her adorable clothes! She's like my own real-life baby doll =)
The girl LOVES bathtime. She could be screaming till she's red in the face (which she does often) & as soon as I turn on her bath water she stops instantly. Than she's happy as a clam through her entire bath.
Dominic is doing great in school. He got his first report card in 2nd Grade and it's all A's & A+'s. We are SO proud of him. He was a construction worker for his class party & of course looks nothing like his dad :)
Gino is also doing well in preschool....has taken some adjustment for him, but he seems to be doing better & is more involved now. He's always coming home telling me all about his day & singing all the songs. He also had fun on his first field trip to the fire station. They even got a call when we were there so all the kids got to watch the fireman suit up & drive off with lights & sirens!
Carmen has many friends already, and got to have a playdate with her cousin Savanna who is 6 weeks younger than her. They will grow up being good friends I hope =)
I've tried many attempts at a good picture of Dominic, Gino & Carmen & here are a few of them.... think I will keep trying ;)
My goofy children, gotta luv 'em =)
Andy has also had a successful beginning to hunting season, by landing a 10 point buck with his bow. It's been a long time since he's gotten one, so he was pretty happy.....as were Dominic & Gino who have helped with the entire process (more Dominic than Gino, he's gonna be into all that stuff like his dad & Papa K more than Gino I think). I say "ick!" Not a fan of deer meat, but they all like it.
Please keep our family in your prayers as it seems Andy will be facing back surgery in the coming weeks....he's been struggling with pain since August & has been to many different doctors & chiropractors to try & fix it in order to avoid surgery, but now this seems to be the only option left.
Wishing everyone a
VERY Happy Thanksgiving
as it is soon approaching!!!
All in all, we've had a rough & joyful year all at the same time & have a LOT to be thankful for!!!
