January. Where did that month go? A few quick reminders for the book.
Ellie giving attitude, normal now.
Deciding whether to hit him or let him be?
She is talking a lot more now and surprises me everyday with something new. So cute when she waves and says hi to everyone and uses her thank you's and even throws in an excuse me here and there!
Rachel, Livy and Colt were following this guy with a metal detector around the park while Ellie walks Pebbles. Free babysitting.
Playing in the rain.
Boxing with dad :)
Danny's 20th birthday! Who can believe he's 20 already! Happy Birthday Dan, we love you!
Outside lunches in January, thanks Houston!
Ellie is the shadow/copycat/glue to Colt. She wants to be right near him, copies the things he says and does and keeps going back for more even when she gets hurt!
We were feeling brave this day. Giving them each a shopping cart is an easy way to turn a happy trip into a screaming and stressful one.
Busy always on the move girl still keeps me going all day everyday. Cute and fun and exhausting and is now adding temper tantrums to her list of activities for the day.
Loves the trampoline but can't get down, just sits and waits for someone to come get her.
Colt had a friend over and there you go.
A zoo trip that wasn't half bad! Beautiful day and the kids listened pretty well.
Bottom line: I love them. Some days I am totally sinking and other days are peachy. But in the end I am grateful for the ride. The only thing I wish is that I had more of a clue at what I am doing as a mom!!

Jessica, stop being so hard on yourself! You are an amazing Mom! One that I look up to and admire in that role! These pictures are adorable and your kids look so happy, proof of what a good Mom you are! I miss those kids! They are growing up so fast! I would love to see Ellie's sass now-a-days! I can imagine it but seeing it first hand would be a treat, she's so funny!
Keep up the good work!! Love and miss you guys!
Haha I think my favorite picture was the one of them following the guy around with the metal detector. Too funny!!!! What a perfect mom you are. They are lucky to feel so much love (and have so much fun) everyday!
