Not much new going on here. Feels like we have some things in the works but the perfect timing has not come. I did get to go to my first "birth" since Maggie was born. Can't wait to start really moving in that direction once Maggie is old enough. Such a satisfying experience to learn new things each time and support a family as they move through such a surreal time of awe and growth. We are investigating finding a bigger house. 1400 square feet feels mighty small nowadays, and if there is anyone extra in the house, it makes me want to run away (not from my friends, but from the claustrophobia!) Of course, not a a straightforward process. It never is. I have been sewing some and loving it. I am also reading from time to time. I really get hooked if I start though, so it is slightly dangerous. The kids are...kids. Maggie is working on standing up without holding on. Susannah is watching her progress carefully, and keeps a chart of Maggie's development on her bedroom wall. Probably because she thinks I am not. Surprisingly, I am. Jesse is charming his way into his sister's lives. The charm doesn't work so well with me though. I am pretty tired of it. This 3 year old likes to sneak and find his sister's Nintendo DS - he is amazingly good at both finding it and playing it. Did not get that ability from me. That is for certain. Abbey is reading pretty well now. She is definitely still easy going, but has developed a few habits, both emotionally and physically. Won't embarass her here, but suffice it to say, I'd be happy to say goodbye to them. Susannah loves her Upward basketball, and seems to be pretty happy in general. She loves anything to do with Maggie, and nothing to do with her chores. She also likes inviting her siblings for sleepovers in her room. Fun times, and no sleep is had by all. Myself included. Ok - here are a few photos from my "shoot" the other day...guess I wanted to update everyone. Good night!

Thanks for the update! I like the new look of the blog too! So glad you got to help with the birth, that is so special.
Did you get any pictures of the Valentine's party thing with the girls? Jesse is looking so grown up riding his bike, and I can't believe that Maggie is almost standing up all by herself! Crazy. Aren't kids great! Do you guys have a good real estate agent? If not, let me know because we have a great one.
Love ya,
Heather
Your kids are SO CUTE!! Of course I've always thought that, but they just keep getting more so! I always remember you getting the comment when Susannah was first born that she "looked loved." All your kids do. I've always thought that was the coolest compliment and hoped the same could be said of my own children some day. :)
Miss you my friend!
Sarah, I loved catching up with you, I've really missed you! Thanks for giving me your blog again, I added it to my favs. See you soon!
Oh yeah, and your kiddos are so stinkin' cute! Loved all the pics!
