Marta's 1st Seizure

 Marta had a seizure in November and was hospitalized overnight.  We dialed 911 and she rode in the ambulance.  They buckled her car seat on the stretcher.  We ruled out some major things while at the hospital but are still praying for her and what the future holds!

 



Marta 6 months

Loves her exersaucers!

Who put the dot on my head?

 

Her special booties made by Nate's coworker Brenda!

Her magic blanket and special socks.

 

Quickly outgrowing this because she climbs out!

Loves to sleep but has started to wake up at night.  The blanket isn't so magic after all!

We don't take the kids out to each much in restaurants like this but we took them to the opening of Ted's Bulletin.  It is a restaurant that is based on the 1950's with TV dinner trays, old black and white televisions and lots of diner food.  They kids had so much fun and Ted's Bulletin is now their favorite restaurant!

Grace loves to help me pack for trips.  Here, she left out notes for me so I would know which of her items to pack.  She is so organized and considerate - I love it.

My Mops group hosted an awesome swap.  The idea is that you bring a bunch of your things that you no longer use and trade it with other people's things.

Sam's end of season baseball party - pure happiness!

In October, we had family come!  Grandma, Aunt Lindsay, Aunt Betsy and Moses...  This was the kids seeing Moses for the first time.  They were elated!

We went to a random presentation about fire safety that was held in a "fake kitchen."  The kids had to crawl out of the windows as if they were in a real fire.  The kitchen filled up with smoke.  It was completely petrifying for the kids and they still talk about it.  They were all in tears after this photo was taken.

Sam adored having Moses here and loved to jump with him on the trampoline.

Girls Weekend in Ohio

I spent a weekend in the fall in Ohio with some friends from college.  We had three babies with us this year which was really sweet.  Pam has Janey, Jen had William and I had Marta.  Allison is pregnant with her second.

Things can get a little crazy...

 

Breakfast time around the table - my favorite time to talk.

 

Jen had Allison take some photos of her with William.  William is her first and Allison is a professional photographer in LA.

 

Marta enjoyed her photo session with me!

Lifelong friends - Kelly, Allison, Christy, Jen, me and Pam.

Triplets! 

I kept telling people that we ran into out in public that these were my triplets - I wish!

 

Pam's neighbor (right across the street) is super into turkeys. 

 I took this photo for my other kids (at home) to see.

Our last outing was brunch at a delicious restaurant with these three babies sleeping away!

What a wonderful weekend.  Next year... Malibu!
