Busy July

Whew! What a month it has been! Kendall celebrated his 30th birthday June 27, we celebrated our 8 year anniversary, I turned 29, we've traveled to New Orleans & back at least once a week, sometimes twice, for doctor visits, & Ivan has quite a "therapy" schedule. Between all the coming & going, we were able to enjoy our quiet times at home.

Juliana is still the photographer of the family, constantly taking pictures of herself & making videos of whatever imaginative thought comes to her mind.


Ivan loves Fiona so much. If she is crying, he says "uh-oh, uh-oh, daaady (baby)" several times until we go get her together. He never lets me go get her by myself, he is on high alert to see if I'm going in her direction. When I take him out of bed in the morning, his 1st move is straight to her crib. He climbs up, pats her any place he can reach on her body, & says in a high pitched voice "nooooona! daaaaady!" (Fiona, baby) In which she responds with a full body, spastic-like, movement & a big toothless smile.


My beautiful baby girl is already 4 1/2 months. I never thought I would love taking care of 3 kids the way I do. It feels so good to do everyday things with a baby smiling on my hip, reaching out for anything she can get her "death grip" on.
