Jonas and Stella

I have been trying to get a video of this for several months. Each time Stella gets Jonas's toys, Jonas will just stand there and cry and bark and whine until we give her the toy. Here, Stella has a black tire toy that belongs to Jonas and even though this wasn't her best performance, Jonas ends up getting the toy :) At the end, you will hear Caroline say "Good Luck, Anna Kate" because she says that at the end of every one of her videos now. (If you haven't watched Disney's "Good Luck, Charlie" show, you should!)

I was thinking as I was typing this post about how we will soon be videoing Anna Kate instead of our dogs...we have about 9 weeks left until we meet her!!!

Sweet Caroline

Press play to enjoy a song while you read (because I have tried for at least an hour to figure out how to get this song to play automatically when you open this post)


These photos are being posted in the order that they were taken last night...It has become a bit of a family tradition to make a cake or cupcakes on the night before the birthday - usually because we are taking them to school the next day - so Caroline wanted her picture taken with her cupcake:



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, I think she was about to blow out the candle:



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BUT WAIT!!!! She forgot to make a wish!



 

 

 

 

 

 

These pics made me laugh this morning!

She was properly named Caroline by her Daddy - she just couldn't be sweeter if you ask me!

Happy 8th birthday ,  Sweet Caroline!

Memory Lane

Life is not measured by the number of breaths that we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Five years ago today, the world lost a truly great guy. His memory lives on through two beautiful little girls who I am lucky enough to call my daughters :)

This is one of my favorite pictures of Josh and Caroline:

We miss you, Josh!
