Karen: This year has been a full one for me and I feel very blessed in deed! The beginning of the year I felt like a tic being pregnant with Jacob. I felt worse and worse as his due date approached but that didn't stop me from staying active with the kids. In fact, in March I took a girl's trip to Orlando and got some much needed relaxation. Jacob was born in June and the labor was fast (4 hours from start to finish) and luckily the whole process was painless! Jim teases me because I was shopping on the Internet while the OB doctor waited for me to finish so I could start pushing. Pajamas were on sale and James needed a pair...what can I say? Since Jacob's birth, the house has gotten loud and I have had to check my patience at the door. I always tell myself, God doesn't give you anything you can't handle, right?! While having three children under three is a lot of busy work and my house isn't as clean as I would like for it to be (and there is always laundry to do!), I do feel very blessed to have three beautiful, healthy children. God Bless!
Sophia: I turned 3 years old this year with a fun party at Monkey Joe's. It was so much fun and Mom made me a Princess Tiana Castle cake. I got lots of Barbie stuff, which I love! School has been fun. I am learning a lot. At the beginning of the year I was at one school but now I am at another. I have lots of friends but I have trouble remembering all of their names. I love to help Mommy, especially when taking care of Jacob. I feed him his bottles now at the table and I am good at feeding him his food too. I can't wait for Mommy to have more babies. I want a sister names Cecilia and maybe some more brothers but Jamesie yells a lot so maybe just two more brothers and two more sisters. I have decided that I want to be an ER doctor just like Dad. I think being a doctor is cool and I practice looking in Jacob's ears with the otoscope. I have lots of growing pains but that is just part of getting big.
James: I continue to try to rule the house! I am the big brother now but I want to still be Mommy's baby but just as a big boy, not a baby. I have decided to stop going pee in the potty so I can still be a baby like Jacob, only a big boy. I don't like to be told what to do but all I want is to have fun and play. I really like it when I get to go somewhere with Mommy or Daddy by myself. I also like to try to do things by myself but Mom says I can't do all the things I want by myself. I love going to school and I know all of my friends names. I have lots of friends, except one of the girls keeps biting me. I have learned lots about God this year at school and now I know that God is my friend and He is with me always. I don't want to learn to ride my tricycle yet but maybe next year. I moved to my big boy bed this year (a toddler bed) and can count now. I am also good at singing songs now and I like to play the piano. I like playing with my cars and trucks and love playing dress up. Today I rescued the princess and slayed the dragon while being a knight. Playing is fun!
Jacob: Sleep, eat, play. That is what I like to do. My Mom is awesome and I love smiling at her. She tickles me on my ribs and it makes me laugh. I also like it when she plays pat-a-cake with me. She gives me lots of kisses. I love looking at Sophia too. She makes me smile. She tries to talk like Mom and I like that. James makes me want to be a big boy. I want his cars, except I tasted one one day and it didn't taste good. I can sit now and stand while holding onto the ottoman. I really like it when Daddy puts me to bed at night. He tells me stories and sings songs to me while I have my bedtime bottle. Yummy bottle! I get excited when I see my friend Bottle and I am not going to like it when Mommy is going to take it away!
