Catching Up With The Kids

I, again, forced the boys to take a few photos for me.
I have about a million photos of Amalia and what feels like just a few of the boys so every so often I get them to sit still and bribe them with candy.

They are growing so much!
Kaiden is getting Valentine cards from little girls, which he pretends to not be impressed by.  
He just throws them away, I think secretly he likes it.

Ethan is all about playing and football (soccer).
When Kaiden got an anonymous Valentine card I said who I thought it was.  
Ethan says, no, it must be from Gigi!!
Lol, he doesn't understand this whole girl thing quite yet.

Amalia is about to be one year old.
I cannot believe it! 
She has started walking now and talks more than ever.
My favourite is when she says, "Daddy!" and points to whatever she wants.  
If she points to him, that means he is to pick her up.
She has him wrapped around her little finger.
She spends most of her time wanting to be with me though but she likes having him around.
If he looks at her and smiles she gets so shy and runs to me smiling snuggling her face into me.
Very sweet.

All in all the kids are amazing, everything I dreamed they would be and more.

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical.

And the Fun Begins

On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...

Beautiful Baby Shower

This past weekend was our baby shower!!  We decided to do it a bit early because I am one of those over-organized, over-prepared types.  It was hosted by my best friend Kindle and my sister Bianca. I told Kindle I wanted a slight winter wonderland pink theme since it is so close to Christmas and this is what I walked in to! It was absolutely beautiful, and we were joined by all our best family and friends, we appreciate everyone that made this such a special day for us.  This game was to guess how big I was and believe it or not the winner was Ethan!! He definitely knows his Mummy!  The chocolate diaper game. (It was Johns first shower, he must've thought we were all crazy).  Getting ready for presents!! (The boys got to open them all).  Kindle surprised the boys with a gift each. It was a shirt with their picture saying "I'm the biggest Brother" and "I'm the big Brother" for the hospital. Most thoughtful thing ever!!! I wish I could relive ...
