Eric's Birthday

We went to Dallas for the day, saw a movie with the kids, went to our old church, and had a yummy dinner! :)

Juliette Grace turns ONE!

  Sibling pictures are my favorite.

 We had to get the oil changed and it took for-e-ver. The kids came up with the idea of having a staring contest so that kept them occupied for quite some time. Our last hour waiting we found out that the dealership gives out complimentary drinks and cookies. Jackson was a happy little guy. :)

 

Baby girl is ONE! And is as precious as can be! We adore her so. Juliette is such a sweet babe and is quite patient, except when she needs more food. :) She enjoys all her siblings. She loves doing anything and everything with Jenni. She simply adores Joshua and laughs at all his silly faces. And she has twinkling, mischievous eyes like Jackson. She loves her blankets, enjoys books, is a great sleeper, and goes along with whatever the family is doing. Sweet Juliette enjoys being a baby and isn't interested in walking or crawling yet. But she does like cupcakes! :)

Hotel Life, Part 2

 Lots of trips to the zoo...

 And lots of trips to Lowe's to plan for our new house...

 

 Juliette Grace turned 7 months old and is so loved :)

 We celebrated Jenni's half birthday :)

 Jacks kept falling asleep in chairs and on tables and wherever else. Sleeping was rough.

 We continued with our school work...

 We went to Lowe's so much that Joshua found a little nook that became his favorite spot to sit while we were planning...

 We joined a new Classical Conversations group in early January...

 Joshua always enjoyed presentation time...

Joshua Turns FIVE!

 We started the morning with a yummy hotel breakfast.

 Then headed to the Natural History Museum to check out some dinosaurs!

Then lunch!

 And then a trip to the zoo!

 And then our favorite pizza place!

Oh man, do we love this boy! I just adore him. Every single bit of him. He's simply wonderful.
