Our Buddy Tyson

Remember our little buddy, Tyson?  There's been pictures of him throughout this blog for the past three years.  Here's a picture of him with the girls from our most recent visit with him.

Recently, he had his first paid photo shoot.  We know someone famous :)  If you live in Florida, you may see him in the Beall's ad this weekend.  Check out his picture on their website.   Good job, Ty!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had a great Thanksgiving. Our day consisted of:

Lots of food and fun with family,

Swimming,

Sister bonding,

Music,

Relaxing,

Being Silly,

and Napping!

What more could we have asked for?  :)

1st Road Trip

Over the weekend, we took Kaelyn on her first two hour road trip.  She did very well on the way up and ok on the way home.

During our trip, we saw my best friend and her family.

 Ella and Tyson were born six days apart.  They exchanged gifts this weekend.

While we were gone, we got together with my family.  This was the first time that Kaelyn met much of her extended family.

My little sister threw a surprise party for our parents' 48 wedding anniversary!

Life is settling in to a new norm.  Andrew has been back to work for four days.  The baby is two weeks old today.  The older girls started back to school today after a nice, long break.  For me, the adjustment from two to three has been a piece of cake - other than the baby had her days and nights mixed up a few times.  Overall, it has been an easy adjustment.  Arin and Ella are older and more independent.  They also have each other to play with and they entertain themselves well.  When I made the switch from one to two, it was a very hard adjustment to me, but this go round has been much easier.  Andrew, however, feels like the adjustment from two to three is much harder.  He says the older girls are so much more independent and now it is starting all over, which is harder to him.  Arin and Ella seem to be adjusting well.  They love to hold their sister and talk to her.  Arin tells me every single day (multiple times a day) how adorable Kaelyn is and that she is the cutest baby.  Arin also told me that our lives are so much better now that we have a baby :)  Here are a few miscellaneous pictures of the girls.
