Well, I have been MIA for awhile. I have many things that I have yet to post but plan on putting up very soon. We did end up going to Disney for the kids' birthdays and had a spectacular time. The kids were so good and loved every part of it. Staying at the hotel was probably just as fun as Disney itself. Ella was enthralled with the princesses and truly believed that they were the real deal. It was priceless! Andrew got to go on some big rides and is quite the little thrill seeker. And little Elizabeth was quite the trooper and did get a chance to go on some rides herself. Here are some pictures from that great vacation. Ella completely in love!! Look at her looking at Sleeping Beauty's hands. I bet she is thinking, "I can't believe Sleeping Beauty is actually holding me!!"
I am a bit late in getting this post up but so happy to have celebrated Andrew's fifth birthday in April. 5 years ago our Andrew made us a family. Where did that time go? I think back to when he was born and how he has grown. You just really can't ever prepare yourself for the love that you have for your children. I remember holding him after he was born and feeling as though my heart would burst with how much I loved this little person. He is such an amazing little guy and we are so blessed to be his parents. We marvel at him everyday. His smarts (which he did not get from me) are incredible. At 18 months he knew all of his shapes including hexagon, octagon, etc. I remember him being two years old and reading words in the grocery store and now here he is at 5 reading chapter books. He is amazing! Not only is he intelligent but I am proud of what a sweet boy he is. He loves his sisters and is so compassionate to people. Top it off with his silliness and a bit of quirkiness and he is just about perfect! We love you Andrew!
Andrew wanted to go to Chuck E Cheese for his birthday so that is what we did! We had a blast and had Grandma and Papa were here to celebrate with us. He picked Cars as his theme this year so we lived and breathed Cars for a few days. :)
