...another one!

It's wild how fast time flies... and how bad I am at blogging.  Maybe time will slow down and I'll get better at blogging more frequently- BUT until then I'll just continue documenting the biggest events in my life...

... so we had another kid.


And she is perfect, squishy, and looks a lot like her brother and sister did! Her name is Olivia Dee- but we are calling her Liv. Jeff and I love the name Olivia and really love how "Liv Lindley" sounds! Dee is after my sweet momma, Jana Dee. To say she was excited to have a namesake would be the understatement of the year. Liv is petite and precious.  She sleeps pretty well and is overall a content baby! The only thing she is slow to the game with is accepting a bottle... so momma has to be close by every 3 hours (let's just say we're REAL close).  She was born on October 12th and has lit up our faces ever since.

Luke is 4! He is really coming into his own as of late... he's funny, enjoys playing with others or alone, and is very proud of both of his sisters. He is however convinced that he will have a brother next... Dad and I aren't against the idea but not sure Luke gets that God chooses the gender! Luke goes to school 2 days a week at "Sonshine School" -- it's at a church near our home and he just loves it.  He also goes to speech two days a week at Chisholm (Emma's school) and he thinks he is pretty big time! We are so proud of how hard he as worked on his articulation - he has made great strides! Luke is a lover of all things Mickey mouse, paw patrol and gadgety rope type things! He is a joy and we are so so grateful for his life!

Emma is 6 but will be 7 in exactly 1 week. It's hard to type that! She is one of the most precious humans to walk the earth- very easy going, sensitive and a leader! She has really taken off with reading recently and is soaring through all of the readers we bought for her to practice reading.  Her teacher at Chisholm is precious and we can tell that Emma is soaking up all that she is teaching her.  Emma LOVES playing with her brother and thinks holding her sister is the most incredible thing ever.

We moved ((AGAIN)) (I"m going to work on a post concerning this!)... we love our new home and plan to be here a couple of years.  With me being in realestate and us liking the challenge of a project we will probably continue to move every few years until we settle in to a forever! It's a fun adventure, has proven to be quite profitable which lessens the blow of it being a royal pain in the rear to move! For now, we are settled- happy- and surviving!
