Easter and Catching up

Our Little Princess
Our Family
My handsome Boys



Here are our Easter Outfit Pictures.  Everyone is getting so big!  I spent the other day scrolling through through older posts and I can't believe how much they have changed.  Updates:
Since arriving in Alaska Joshua started a new school for the third time during 1st grade.  We gave him the choice whether to start another school or do some home school for the rest of the year and he wanted to go to school.  He is so good at adjusting quickly to new situations and loves making new friends.  He is a excellent reading and loves math.  Is is always so kind to the babies and a big helper.  William and Josh butt heads quite often but that is what brothers do.
William is one extreme or the other.  He is either sweet, funny and imaginative or he is mean stubborn and impossible to deal with.  It has been a hard adjustment for him to go from the youngest to having so much attention needing to be on the babies.  I tell people that the twins have been hard, but the three year old has been the hardest.   He will grow out of it that is what I have to keep telling myself.  Will loves to make up songs and is always singing and dancing-Love you William!
Gabriel is HUGE last week he weighed in at 21.4lbs  He is my cuddler he loves to snuggle into his mommy.  When he is happy his whole face lights up and he laughs with his whole body.  He rolls all over the place but not quite sitting on his own and his first tooth finally broke through yesterday.  Gabe is so loud when he is happy or mad everyone knows it.  He has his mother lungs.
Gracey is a delight we love having a little princess (other than William) she is always one step ahead of Gabe and is almost sitting up on her own.  She has a soft spot for her parents and will let you hold her until she hears her mom or her dad.  You have to work a lot harder to get her to smile, unless you are her father-all he has to do is look at her and she lights up. She loves to make raspberries throughout the day and has to have a soft blanket over her face to fall asleep.
Now that we are getting settled the babies are finally getting on a schedule the nap at 10 and at 2 and I am only nursing them in the middle of the night and early morning.  The rest of the time they are eating formula and homemade baby food.  They are so hard only because there are two of them, but we enjoy every minute.

It is so good to hear about your family. I am so happy to hear that Joshua is adjusting very well. Conner is the same way! Your kids are adorable. We miss you!

They are so big. Gabe is bigger than my Kyler. You must have some strong arms to carry around two big babies. I'm your are adjusting in Alaska. Don't worry my 3 year old is my hardest as well. I look forward to everyday as she gets older and hopefully grows out of her emotional stage. Can't wait for those teenage years. Their Easter clothes are so adorable!
