WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE!

Remember the movie Horten hears a Who. There's a part where the Whos have to gather together and shout WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE!  They have to band together one voice united to show the rest of the world that they really do exist. That's how I'm feeling. I'm not a tiny Who. But rather a mother of 4 small children. My blogging time is a luxury. But I want you all to know: WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE! WE ARE HERE ! 

Well 8 months ago our Jacob was born at 36 weeks. Now that makes 2 Boys and 2 Girls!
 Here's a picture of him a couple of him a week old.



Life has been very fast paced ever since. So far it has been a very big change to going from a family of 5 to a family of 6. Jacob is a very welcome addition to our family but as I often forget, babies can be hard work! Life just now is just now starting to feel a little normal. Here's a picture of Jacob at 3 months. 



I think that is in part due to the fact that David started preschool in the fall.



It's so hard to get out and moving with a new baby in the house. Alexis misses her big brother but David really need the time to prepare for kindergarten. Olivia my little reader started first grade this year. Here's a few photos showing her excitement on the first day of school. 




It's been a very busy school year thus far. But we can accomplish anything as a family!


Hey where's Jacob?

Yesterday I had my first OB appointment. Well it was my registration and physical. I have been so sick :( I had an ultrasound and the best part was that Mike and the kids were there! We saw the baby moving around. We even got to hear the heartbeat! We are calling this baby SPECK. I found out about a month ago in the Emergency room. I had a cyst rupture and my blood work showed I was pregnant. It was way too early to see anything though. Mike and I are excited. The kids are hoping for a little brother so we can have the same number of boys and girls in our family. On December 16 I will meet my doctor. The midwife told me that at 20 weeks I would go in every 2 weeks. She said I would have at least 3 more ultrasounds and at 28 weeks I would need to start coming in twice a week. We live in Stafford and the closest MTF is Dewitt at Fort Belvior. It looks like this pregnancy is going to be a real adventure for sure!

A Big Snow

Oh what did the new year bring? Snow and lots of it. My kids loved it! Me 19 weeks pregnant with Mike gone to BNOC (Army school) not so much. David and Olivia were just too excited. I was waiting for the snow to stop but, it didn't look like that was going to happen any time soon. I let the snow get way to high for our little Lexi. She much more preferred the view from the porch.

Wow, I can't believe that Spring Break was the last time I posted something! We have had so much fun during the year here in Moscow. I have taken lots of pictures and it's about time to get some things on the blog! So, let me start with today. Today we ventured off the compound to Sokolniki Park. It was so worth the trip!  We carried with us a sled and some ice skates. Everyone had on several layers as it was 26 degrees Fahrenheit when we left the house. (Which was way warmer than it had been!)  We took our 4 kids on the crazy Moscow metro. Of coarse I had to hold Jacob because he would be trampled in the crowds. We smush our way on to the metro and right away people are insistent that we take a seat. Every time I get on the metro with a my children someone performs some act of kindness! I think with this many children you need it! We finally arrive to our destination and ....Wow! The walk up to the park was on a little brick street. Mike and the k...
