First day of school

By -
Madalyn and Savanna went to their first day of school on Wednesday. I thought that by the end of the summer I would be ready for them to get back into school, but I was really sad. Madalyn and Savanna are both gone all day long now, and I have to say I miss them. They really love school though and are happy with their teachers. When I picked them up from their first day of school Savanna said she wished it was the next day already so she could go back to school. Madalyn told me that she has the best teacher ever because they get to have a snack in the morning. (She belongs to me, she loves food) This is the first class she has had with a teacher who reserves time for snacks. They both have some of the same kids in their classes as last year, but a lot of different kids also. They were both so excited to wear new clothes to school and have had fun picking out their outfits. (They are such girls!) I am sure they will do well this year.

Emma and I have had a lot of fun together. Her favorite thing to do right now is to play dress up. She wears her dress up clothes most of the day. I make her take them off when we go somewhere and when she eats. It is a challenge to get her to wear normal clothes even at those times, so I usually let her play all day in her play dresses. On the first day of school, we came home from bringing her sisters to school and got her dressed up and took pictures. She was very pleased.

Here are some pictures of the first day of school. I think my girls are so beautiful!

Smelling the flowers.






















Emma loved getting her pictures taken. This is a first!

My kids love getting their pictures taken, and in the last week I had someone tell me that I had beautiful girls. She gave me her business card and asked me if I would be interested in having them model for her costume business. I guess it would be the pictures that are put on the packages of the costumes. When I told Madalyn and Savanna about it, they were really excited. We might do it......

Meet our son,Porter Harrison Kelly

Porter Harrison Kelly was born Saturday, April 24 th by c-section. He was 6lbs 14 0z. and 19 inches long. We named him after his brother, who we feel has been here with him, helping him fight for life. He seemed to have some trouble with his lungs so they brought him to the NICU . To make a long story short, he kept going down hill, and found himself first on a ventilator and then an oscillating ventilator. He hemorrhaged in his lungs, had to be on blood pressure meds , and had to have numerous tests done on his brain, heart, and lungs. They think that he got an infection, but will never know for sure because many of the tests were inconclusive. Thankfully he is doing much better, and should be home in a couple of days. He was one sick kid, but so cute. I didn't get to hold him for a few days, almost a week after his birth. It was heaven being able to finally hold him. Here are some pics of our little guy. Nick had to wear some pretty cool things over his clothes for the...

We have BIG news!

We are going to have another little boy. I am 20 weeks along, and found out today that our baby is a boy. We are pretty excited. Savanna and Madalyn really wanted the baby to be a boy. We let them come to the ultrasound to see the baby, and afterwards Savanna told me she was really lucky. I asked her why and she told me that she always gets what kind of baby she wants. She really wanted Emma to be a girl, and now we're having what she wants again. I told Emma that we are going to have a little baby boy, and she told me "I don't want that kind." I asked her what she wanted and she said " A baby girl!" Oh well, you can't make everyone happy. Nick and I are excited and we are all going out to eat tonight to celebrate.

My House

Okay, so I have finally gotten around to posting pictures of my house. I have been really busy with getting the yard work done, and I am still not caught up like I would like to be. It is coming along though, and I love my house. This is the front view This is the front facing the side. Nick is closing the gate to the backyard. Notice the rainbow in the sky. This is the flower patch in the front yard. It still needs a little weeding, but it's not too bad. This is the other side of the front yard. I love the rock. This is my garden in the backyard. I should have taken a "before" picture. It was covered in weeds. Getting it weeded has taken a lot of time! This is a rainbow that was outside our home on the fourth of July. This is the living room. I didn't pick it up before I took pictures, so you get to see books, shoes and other kid stuff. This is the kitchen/dining area. Madalyn and Savanna were working on puzzles. This is Emma in our family room, and her...
