I LOVE my cousins!

My mom brought my niece and nephew to visit for the night. We had a GREAT time!

"Mommy, God made it snow!"

So we moved to Southern Alabama when the kids we just a little over 1 year old. It does not snow in Foley, Alabama, the temperatures rarely fall below freezing and if they do it is only for a night NEVER during the day. Chris had a job transfer at the beginning of the year and we all ended up in Northern Indiana. We are about 4 miles South of Michigan...YES, a very big change for us.

Anyway on Saturday the sun was shinning and all of a sudden it started thundering. Then came the rain which quickly turned into a mixture of snow and sleet. Needless to say the kids were very excited. Ummmm, Mommy, not so much!

The view from our dining room.

The whole time the kids were yelling, "Mommy, look God is making it snow."

Ya gotta love those kids even though they have no idea what we are in for this winter. We have been told that we will be having a lot of snow. Because of Lake Michigan being so close we are subect to the Lake Effect. Thank Goodness we recently moved to a much larger home so we will not go too stir crazy being stuck inside. I have also decided to start doing pre-school with the kids when the weather gets bad.

Luckily it was all melted by the time nap was over. Oh and just in time for the BIG Notre Dame game...but that's another story!

Gulf Shores Vacation

We did not get as many pictures of our vacation as I would have liked. By the time we got to our condo on the beach we were all feeling a little under the weather. We spent most of the week not feeling well. The kids were sleeping with their puke buckets for several nights and both Chris and I were sick also. It lasted for about 4 days. We had a good time, during the times that we felt better, spending time with Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Joe, Aunt Rosie, and Uncle Brent. We did not however get to spend much time with our friends down in Southern Alabama. It was a little disappointing!

We stopped on the way down South for a snack.

A picnic lunch.

The kids loved the pool. They were a little timid and Sean and Henry were the only ones that ventured out on their own. Sophia stepped in the pool while trying to get a ball and went under. From then on she did not want to get off the steps. One of the kids knocked Edi into the pool and she was very cautious from then on also.

The kids had a great time playing with Aunt Rose and Uncle Brent. I have always been very close to them but we haven't lived close to them since the kids were about 1. It was nice to see them bond so quickly!

I am so thankful to God for the awsome family he has blessed us with!

Happy Halloween!

We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween!

I'm next!

I usually paint my toenails when the kids are taking a nap and here is why.

The kids are not old enough to know that usually only girls paint their toenails. Haha.

Try reasoning that out with a couple of three year olds. The boys use to get very upset when they did not get flowers and bows in their hair. They do not seem to care anymore. Hey at least I had blue and green polish!

This is just one of those times when I felt like it was not worth the hurting their little feelings over a little paint on their toes. Now Daddy was a little shocked when he came home from work! :o)

Beach FUN!

We have taken the kids to beach a few times this summer and they love it. Last year they didn't like to get the sand on them but this year they like building things in the sand and they did very well in the water also.

We are getting geared up for our much needed beach vacation to Gulf Shores, AL at the end of September!  We are so excited to see some of our friends there and spend a LOT of time just relaxing on the beach!

Yes, it is the end of October. Our vacation is already over. I really didn't get may pictures but I will try to get that post ready ASAP. Time sure flies when you are raising quadruplets!!!!

Splash Pad

I am so behind in updating my blog. This was a summer trip to a beach in Michigan with an awsome splash pad. The kids had a great time. We are enjoying all the wonderful memories we are making.

PRICELESS!

God continues to Bless us more and more each day!

I am going to try to get the rest of our summer on here so I can be all caught up for the Holiday Season!

Take Care and God Bless!
