Amalia's 5th Birthday!

I cannot rave enough how much happiness and sass she has brought into our lives!
Amalia is brilliant and keeps us on our toes at all time, you can't put anything past her!
She loves school and is learning to read quite well.
She is incredibly independent and can hold her own with her two big brothers.
She is always quick to say "I'm sorry", and is constantly professing her love for each one of us individually.
She always likes to be the one to say prayers at dinner time, and for almost 2 years she starts her prayer, 'Thank you that Grandpa feels better."
There is no shortness of love and gratitude in our how, and on her birthday we are particularly thankful for our 5 years spent with Amalia.

As her main gift I got her an outfit to match Willa, her Wellie Wisher.
As a special surprise I dropped off an outfit to math Ashlyn, for her best friends Kinleigh.
The surprise went over very well, I will never forget the look on her face when she realized!
Over all her Woodland Fairy party was a success!

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now.

Rachael Emily-Baby Naming

The hardest part about having a child for me is finding a name. I have been dreading the naming process, that is why we started so early. I didn't get a name for Ethan until I went into labor and was hoping that would not be the case this time. I am a super organized control freak kind of person so it has been stressing me out. We decided to go to Barnes and Noble to give it another try. While searching, and hating every name, I re-suggested a name that I have loved for a long time and we decided! Yay! I was SO excited! I still am so excited. I never would've guessed we would find a name so soon. For now I will announce the middle names and save her name for her birth announcement. The middle names are Rachael Emily. Rachael is to honor my lovely sister that passed 8 years ago. She is my heart. Emily is my little sisters middle name, and she is my everything. My 2 favorite people balled up into one precious angel, our daughter. =) Celebrate with a pum...
