JBF dinner

We had our annual "Just Between Friends" dinner today. It was so awesome seeing all the girls and all the kids. I got teary eyed just looking at all of our children because just 3 years ago when I met this fabulous group of women, none of them had children. I had Maddie and I was truly grateful to have her, but after I had her I was struggling with infertility myself. Now between all of us we have 13 children with 4 on the way! That really is amazing!

Each one of the girls in our group are very special to me. It amazes me that we can get together and never argue, and are 100% comfortable around each other. The pain of our infertility seems to have brought us a special bond and closeness to our friendship that I could never replace. They are the best friends a girl could ask for.....

A trip to Apple Hill!

What a beautiful day it was to go up to Apple Hill. The weather was gorgeous and all three kids were cooperative! We decided the only way to get up to Apple Hill this year was to skip Lucy and Ava's afternoon nap... I know, a scary thought! Once we got up to the farm, all the girls had fun. We bought some apples, pears and and apple pie... yum! Maddie wanted to go fishing in the pond, so we did. She caught a nice trout in the first 45 seconds! Maddie loves to fish, but won't have anything to do with the fish after it is caught unless it is Mahi Mahi. LOL Lucy and Ava loved to eat the apples whole. They both took one from the boxes and starting eating it when were picking out our own apples. The theifs!

The evening was a bit tough since the girls didn't nap. OK, it was more than a little rough, they were SO fussy! But I have to admit it was nice to get out and have a family afternoon. :) Oh, and the babies are 15 months old today! :)

Our 6th Anniversary

Chris and I got married 6 years ago today. I can still remember our wedding day as if it were yesterday. I can't believe it has been 6 years already! Chris is a wonderful husband and father and he is truly my best friend. I still feel a little bolt of excitement when I hear him walking through the door, a little flutter in my stomach when he smiles at me and gives that certain look. I still feel so special when we hold hands, and I still feel so warm and loved from his hugs. I still feel like we are "that couple" and really don't think that will ever change.
