Updates

It's getting hard to keep track of everyone and everything, so I think it helps me out to write it all down!  The past week has been nuts - dishwasher and washer both broke, which have not been fun.  It certainly is testing my patience!  At least the weather has been gorgeous :)

Sonoma: 

 Sonoma is doing great in school!  We had a parent-teacher conference and her teacher had wonderful feedback.  Sonoma is reading at a very high level, so that was something really great to learn!  We truly had no idea!  And apparently, Sonoma doesn't think she needs to work on anything!  ;)

You can see she had written ( and then erased! ) "I don't need to work on anything"

Sonoma got a few inches cut off her hair!  That is how long it was.  She also got her first "big girl haircut" and got some really pretty layers.  

All packed up for a long night at the gym last week.  Daddy attended our first Booster Club meeting after Sonoma's practice

LOL

I was nursing Blakesley and this note came under the nursery door.  I love getting notes and text from Sonoma.  She was looking for my shower cap! 

Sonoma with her BFF Alexa.  Alexa hosted her annual Halloween party and as always, we had a blast!

Sonoma went ice skating for the first time at a birthday party this weekend.  I was bummed I missed her, but Marcus took a lot of photos and videos!  She did great and didn't get injured!

Cora:

Cora is loving Preschool and doing really well.  She just brought home her first big Project she has been working on over the last month.  It was amazing to see how much she has learned in a short period of time and how far she is coming with her letters.  She is loving music and comes home singing us songs that will be in her Autumn Musical coming up.  She also started Spanish and seems to really like it.  Gymnastics is over this week, and she decided she wants to take a break from gymnastics and start soccer.  She starts soccer in a couple of weeks and cannot wait!

Cora got a great haircut last week and we just loved her french braids after!

Daddy signed us up for HELLO FRESH and Cora LOVES to help prepare the meals!  This was a ginger shrimp and she ate every bit of it!

Cora loves our neighbor, Katie, a 5th grader. She keeps begging to have her babysit!

Cora asked if I could dress Blakesley in these matching outfits and then take pictures.  How could I resist?

At carpool all ready for her first school picture day!

Blakesley:

Blakesley is such a little doll and I look forward to spending so much time with her!  At night when she does her long stretch, I actually miss her!  Although I am always so tired for all of our middle of the night feedings, I don't really mind them and she always is smiling at me.  She started blowing bubbles and is cooing all the time!!  She loves attention and I try to give her as much as possible throughout the day.  The other day she rolled over for the first time and I missed it!  I set her down, grabbed a drink of water and she was flipped over on her back!

I wore Blakesley for 4 hours the other day at a party and she slept almost the whole time

Lindy & Marcus:

Let's face it:  the center of our life right now is these three little girls!  Marcus is busy at work, but not as busy as he was this summer, which has been nice.  He took a couple of days off recently, which was great for the girls.  He has been helping with all of the late pick ups from Sonoma's practices.  He also keeps busy with our neighborhood HOA, as he is on the Board.  I'm still trying to figure out life with 3 kiddos and have been focusing more and more on my R+F business now that Cora is in Preschool.  I'm usually feeding or wearing Blakesley, or driving the girls around in my minivan ;)

I love laying here with B

Halloween Sneak Peek!  Sonoma wanted to wear the same costume as last year and Cora wanted to be the Wicked Witch too!  So we had to buy another costume!  Two wicked witches!

Love her
