Ava Isabelle is FIVE!

Today Belle turns five years old. Matt and I were talking last night about how unbelievable that is to us. It literally seems like yesterday when we found out she was on the way. "They grow up so fast" takes on a whole new meaning when you become a parent.

Yesterday at the K-4 program, Belle was presented with an award for "optimism," and I think they got it right. She is so happy go lucky, without a care in the world most of the time. She is creative and funny and kind hearted--all the things I prayed she would be. I could not ask for a sweeter, more beautiful little girl.

So, Happy Birthday my little optimist. We love you so much.

My Little Lady Bug

Belle's K-4 class had their end of the year performance today. The little boys were lightening bugs and the little girls were lady bugs. It was adorable, and of course, Belle ate it up. She had her very own line and said it loudly into the microphone. "I know! I can be a goodness bug!" I was so proud. I can't believe my little baby girl will be five tomorrow.

Kids Night of Worship

Belle and Dru performed last night in FBCS's Kids Night of Worship. They thought they were quite the superstars and did a great job. Jeb watched from the audience and was a very proud little brother.

Check up!

Jeb at 2 days
Jeb at 2 months

Jeb had his 2 month check up yesterday. He weighed 11 1/2 pounds and was 23 inches long. That means he's grown 3 inches longer and 4 1/2 pounds heavier since birth. It's amazing to me how quickly they change and grow. Have I mentioned lately how much I love and adore this little boy? We all do... even his big sisters. And ESPECIALLY his daddy. Almost every day Matt asks him, "So when are you gonna be big enough to go fishin' with me?" They are going to be trouble when that day comes.

Happy 2 month birthday to me!!

Jeb Sullivan, 2 months old today

Just pictures

What is wrong with me? This is my 3rd post in a week and can only solidify my husband's idea that as a stay at home mom, I have tons of free time, eat bon bons, and watch Oprah all day. (I'm growling just thinking about that.) I really don't know the reason for my excessive posts. Just had to share a couple more pictures.

Must be doing something right...

Two posts in two days... that's got to be a record or something. I know, I'm a dorky, proud mommy, but I just had to post these pictures Belle drew this afternoon. With NO prompting, she brought me this picture and said, "Look, Mommy. I drew Jesus on the cross." It is the sweetest thing, and it reminded me that even in those moments when I think I'm a big fat mommy failure, Matt and I must be doing something right. I'm also posting another drawing she did of Jonah in the whale. She called it "Noah" and the whale, but the child can't be perfect all the time!! (P.S. She has another loose tooth in front. My poor, toothless child.)
