Life has been a whirlwind since we became a family of five! The day after Kieran and I came home was my dad's birthday, so we were excited to be able to celebrate with him! My parents came to us and my mom even brought the dinner and dessert! Not bad!
The kids loved helping Grandpa blow out his candles!
The birthday boy needed some snuggles with the newest member of the family.
My first story time with all three of my miracles!
I love Emma's hair clip that she put in herself!
Precious newborn moments with Kieran...
Emma needed a picture too!
While John was snuggling Kieran, Emma had to have her baby to snuggle too! The funny thing was that Kieran isn't much bigger than Emma's baby!
Precious princess moment!
"Oh, mom! They're so loud!!"
The kids loved carving pumpkins with Daddy and Nana!
A few days before Halloween, the kids needed to preview their Halloween costumes! They couldn't wait to wear them and go trick-or-treating!
Snuggles with Kieran - one week old!
Help! Help! I'm stuck in "jail" behind the fireplace gate!
Snuggles with Nana and Papa!
Our littlest pumpkin with Grandma!
Really, mom? Are you done with pictures yet?
The deep thinker? The genie?
"I will not look at you or keep my eyes open for pictures! So there!"
Happy Halloween!!
Our sweet little pirate, princess and pumpkin!
Kieran is 11 days old!
My first bedtime story time with my 3 precious blessings.
Time to play dress-up! Emma loves wearing her Belle costume and John makes a pretty cute Mickey Mouse too!
John and Emma loved having picnics and wanted to make sure Kieran could be part of the fun too!
Newborn picture time! Kieran was 2 weeks old and it was time to capture the little moments of our new cutie!
His perfect little toes!
The first weekend of November we were happy to have Mike, Jeanna and Corrine come home to meet Kieran. We had a great weekend together with Steve and Katie too and like always, the time passed too quickly! Corrine had gotten so much bigger too! It was amazing how different life was in only a few months!
Our little snuggle bunny at 3 weeks old!
Fun in the leaves!
It was time for Kieran's first big boy bath! He loved splashing in the water and was the cutest little duck around after he was all clean!
John and Emma couldn't wait to get a picture after Kieran's first bath in his big boy tub!
Family picture time! Kieran was one month old and it was time for some professional pictures! We couldn't wait to make our Christmas cards this year!
As life sped up and seemed to be going by in a flash before our eyes, I tried to capture the precious moments as often as I could. We loved playing and having quality time in our jammies!
Kieran - One month old!
Already his little personality was coming out. His expressions, noises and easy-going demeanor were priceless!

Emma could not get enough of her baby brother! She was so great with him and was always so protective! She wanted to help change his diapers, would get me a burp cloth or blanket and was always close by to help watch over him while he slept or when he ate.
The one-eyed peek... You still there mom?
Oh, you are! Well, I'm calling this photo session a wrap!
It was Thanksgiving weekend and because Kieran was so new and I had had so many complications, we decided it was easier to host, rather than travel. After dinner and while we were all lounging, the kids loved putting on their pj's and snuggling together, as they'd done so many nights before!
5 weeks old!
How was the time flying this quickly already? Kieran enjoyed spending time in his play gym, but was never lying there alone for long. Within moments of being put down, he had a visitor right next to, or partially on him. He was such a trooper! (We joked that the only "alone time" Kieran would get was when he was in the bouncer up on the kitchen island while I was cooking/doing dishes, etc because I couldn't easily see him on the floor in the other room! Once he was a little bigger though and really started to bounce, he had to be moved to the floor and we told the others that he was having his own time!)
Ahhh...peace!
With 2 little ones and a new infant, we knew the holidays would have a whole new kind of chaos this year. We were also adding in Baptism to the celebration too! Next up, Christmas joy and Baptism blessings!
