Our Nanny!

So our nanny, Miss Rachel, as the girls call her - is looking for a new family.

***Flashing lights and sirens should be going off in your head right now if you are looking for childcare... she is simply AMAZING!***

She currently works for us 3 days a week and another family 2 days a week. The other family's situation is changing so she is now available 2 days a week M-F. The days are somewhat flexible since the other 3 days she is with us (and we can be flexible). I am not sure about Saturdays and Sundays but if that is something you need consistently it may be an option.

As I mentioned above, she is fabulous, and we love love love her. The girls adore her and she is amazing with the baby. She has nannied for several years (she has been with us for almost 2) and has fantastic recommendations. She has experience with multiples, and infants, and multiple infants! hahaa - but no, seriously she does!

If you have any questions or would like her information please feel free to email me or even give me a ring! I cannot say enough good things about her.

Disney Live!

I was looking back through several of my recent posts and it really seemed like the girls were an after thought since AJ's arrival. Which, for any of you who know my kids - you can completely back me up on the fact that nothing could be further from the truth! They are still (and will always be) the light of my life. My light is just brighter with the addition of their baby brother!
Regardless, I am always conscious that the girls know that too. It is hard having a new, cute, and little baby in the house. So this past week, we were able to sneak in some special time with just us girls. We went to Disney Live! with one of their friends. They were so excited and really loved being able to take a friend. I thought this picture of the three of them was adorable!

Simple Milestones....

I'm not sure why but the little milestones with AJ are what "get me". Like for instance the fact that he doesn't lose his breath in the wind anymore - it made me well up with tears! (Although we went to the park today and he did it once or twice and I was secretly glad! hahaha) So of course I took some pictures from that momentous walk when I realized that teeny tiny little thing that changed.

The Papparazzi!

So I guess I will never have to wonder why AJ thinks he's a rock star!

I thought this picture was HYSTERICAL!

What you can't see is his expression and that he is totally eating it up - anytime he notices he is being photographed he turns into the biggest ham. It is super funny!

Green Beans?

We tried green beans tonight... someone wasn't a huge fan! :)

I think this picture shows how ornery he can be!

Happy Baby!
(He normally is very happy - unless you aren't doing what he wants you to! See picture above! hahaha)

He is getting so big!
(As reference, he has on a 6-12 mo. outfit)

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Five Redheads on St. Patrick's Day has to be lucky!

AJ's Baptism

AJ's baptism was also in the middle of one of my show weeks, which wasn't ideal but, it turned out great anyway! Here are some of the pictures from that day. I am missing pictures of a lot of people who came to celebrate with us - mainly because Caroline took most of the pictures.

(Now mind you, they are great pictures, just a lot of individual shots!)

I love Kathryn standing up there... the girls were so "in to" what was going on.

It was precious!

Valentine's Day Party

The girls Valentine's Day parties at school were a lot of fun! Since they are in separate classrooms now, it's a bit more challenging to "enjoy" the party - I do a lot more running back and forth! :)
