Hellooooo 2017!

Hard to believe we are already in a new year - 2017!  Looking back at all the pictures from last fall, I can't help but smile - such precious memories.

Always reading time with Daddy...even if it means fighting who is going to sit where on dad's lap.

On  October 9th Jack turned 7!!

He had a bowling party with a Detroit Tigers theme.

 This year BOTH Papas and Nanas where there - what a special treat!

 This little man is growing up waaaaaay too fast - 6 months in October.

 Evan is a very happy babe.

 Beautiful fall weather calls for a trip to the zoo. 

There is no shortage of love in this household.

 She is so sweet and happy.

 This one has more style than all of us put together ;)

 Happy boy.

 Coloring is taken very seriously around here.

 Silly girl.

 Oh sweet boy.

 On October 30th Evan William was dedicated at church.

 Dedication Day!

 "Why can't I go outside too?"

 Trick-or-treat! 

Fernanda had a blast at her fall party at school. 

 Playdough outside in November - YES please!

 Time to pick some apples.

 Baby boy was 7 months in November.

 Watch out world, on November 14 Evan started crawling!

 I love my girls. 

 This just melts my heart. 

 Christmas program  time! 

Jack was the cutest Christmas sheep.

 

And Fernanda was a beautiful angel. 

Fernanda and her fan club!

On December 4th Fernanda turned 5 and what a beautiful princess she was!

 We have had some CrAzY winter weather this year. With that comes snow days! We have had 3 snow days so far.  Perfect activity for a snow day - decorating the Christmas tree! 

 8 months old in December - STOP growing up!!!

"What, I'm  8 months already???" 

 "Look  at me, Mama!"

 Papa came for a short visit and got some snuggle time.

 I was feeding Evan and looked up and this is what I saw...Silly Caroline.

 Some very excited kids Christmas morning!

 Aaaaand more snow...I believe our snow total comes to 53 inches!

 I had to laugh as I passed the nativity set one day...even Santa and Mrs. Claus were at the manger ;)

 Oh our sweet baby Caroline turned 3 years old on December 27th.  

She is our "yellow" girl, anything yellow she LOVES!

 Evan had his first hair cut December 28th - he did GREAT!

 So handsome!

 Over Christmas break,  we went bowling! 

 Caroline would dance and clap every time she threw the ball...she didn't look where the ball was headed!!

 Trying to clean up from the last storm. 

 Selfie!

 A much welcomed beach day for Fernanda in January! 

 9 months old! (weep weep)

 At 9 months Evan weighed 19# 13oz and was 29 inches long

LOVE!

 Fixing a broken ear is serious work.

 Evan finally made it in the highchair and is loving every minute! 

 And his newest thing...
