With Keira joining our family ciaos and the seasons changing I can't help but feel like my own leaves are changing from Green to Red. These past few days I have spent many hours in closets, knee deep in clothes. Ben, Emma and Sydney needed to have their summer clothes rotated out and their winter clothes accessible. As for me, I am more then ready to be rid of the bulky shirts and pants up to your arm-pits pregnancy clothes.
Although as I was packing them...I had to really contemplate "am I ever going to wear these again?" I don't know? I don't think so. And the same went for Ben's clothes. I've been asking myself, "why are you saving these?"
Thankfully my "GO-TOO GALS" (my mom, and Kim) reminded me...as long as I have the room, why not keep it...just in case. Maybe that's what my body is saying about all this extra baby fat...why not keep it...just in case!! Too bad I don't have a fairy godmother that can bippity-boppity-boo away all that saggy, stretched out, tiger stripped costume that currently covers my hot body.
So as the seasons change and I learn to use make-up to hide the sleepless nights and remind my kids that my squishy tummy isn't a drum...let us all just be thankful that in winter-time we can hide in LAYERS!

When Stephen texted one of his friends to tell him that we're having boy #3, his friend said 2 more and we'd have a team. ;-)
You could always go for that basketball team. hee hee Yeah I know with a new baby that's exactly what you're thinking about. I love all the pictures. You've got way cute kiddos.
Amen to that!!
Dear Rachel, I have a niece. Her name is Candi. Candi has three darling boys. She and her husband were through adding to their family 6 years ago. And you guessed ... their little girl is due in February! Keep it as long as you have the room.
