I love being a mom!

Things have been so busy. I don't have a lot of time to blog. I love having a newborn around. I love Fall in New England. I love watching all my kids fall in love with "the baby".

I am so happy.

Owen James Handy

I sent out an announcement about Owen today.  But for any of you who might not have gotten it . . .

Owen was born Saturday, October 2, 2010

8 lbs 13 oz, 19 3/4 in

And I loved this photo of him sucking his thumb!

Adam's 4th Birthday

Adam is growing and growing. Everyday he has some amazing way that his muscles will grow. (Today he said, "If I eat 2 bowls of cereal my muscles will get big today") He is smart and funny and easygoing. I love hanging out with him during the day. He loves cars, trucks, playing outside, baseball, and anything else stereotypically boy. We had a fun birthday party with many of his friends (despite the rain outside).


Here is another cute one of him!

Starting School

In the midst of all the business I wrote about, school did start. And I did take pictures of it. And I meant to blog about it. But it has now been a while, but I am going to catch up!

Julianne has matured into a beautiful 5th grader. In our town, that means she starts middle school. (that makes Trent and I feel old) Her school starts earlier than the elementary school. So in this first set of pictures you will see that while she is all dressed and ready to go, everyone else in still in their PJ's.


Roughly an hour later, Catherine and Madelyn get on their bus. We follow that bus to school and walk them to their classrooms. (Middle school is too cool for Mom and Dad to do that!)
