She's Here!

Our newest monkey made it into the Big Barrel this past weekend on October 15th. Aravis Antoniette Flora was born at 11:20 am after a long labor (story to come) and under a Super Moon. She weighed 8 pounds even and was 21 inches long! She was so much bigger than her brothers! Perhaps this has something to be said about her personality too (hence her namesake). We are all over the moon in love with her....

Almost there!

Here is hopefully our final shot (as was with her brothers) of mama's belly at 37 weeks. This pregnancy has been fairly uneventful and Baby Maya is growing well measuring on time (despite the much larger belly!) We are all ready to meet her. Stay tuned!

Go Colts!

We all got to head to the season opener for the Indianapolis Colts. Although we did not win in the end, a nice time was had by all...

The Mini-Mini

Both the boys ran in their first race during the recent Mini-mini. Emmett ran first, entered as a 4 year old...

Emmett finished his first race (1/2 mile) in 6:14. 

Then Elias ran his race....

And he's off!

Elias finished in 7:34 (1 mile). He placed 7th of 200.

Prepping for Baby Maya

Getting the barrel ready for our newest monkey has been fun!Not only have we put together the nursery, but the boys' room got a bit of an upgrade as well.

Mommy just supervised....

Nursery is ready!

Three carseats across...takes some serious puzzle skills!

Updated diaper stash

All the diapers....all the fluff!

We had a little sprinkle for Baby Maya. Hosted by great friends.

Best cake ever. Mexico-themed sprinkle!

So many great gifts!

Mama's good friend and doula.

Beautiful blankets

Celebrating our little monkey!

We are gonna be stars!

We were invited to make a commercial! Our family was asked to be in a commercial for hemophilia. The whole experience was fun and exhausting at the same time. The boys were all real troupers including doing their infusions on screen. Pretty proud of our monkeys!

Back to school!

Summer is short when you are on a balanced calendar. Elias is starting his 3rd year at the Center for Inquiry. He is really excited to start Second Grade with Ms. Nocton. 

Picture with Bowie for his All About Me project.
Elias wants to run a Doggie Daycare when he grows up.

We learned how to tie shoes this year!
