Ok ok... just a couple more!

Just shy of 3 weeks old in these :)

A couple more...

Was taking pictures for Little Miss's announcement and had this one left over - love it! They gave her about a million kisses in a row so I was bound to get at least one shot :)

A cute one I got of Nathan while I was waiting for Ry to get back downstairs :)

Miss Natalie is Here!!

Goodness it's taken me long enough to post some pictures on here... but it's amazing how much free time you lose by adding another mouth to feed!! Here are a few newborn shots I got of her when she was 5 days old :)
In the hospital the day after she was born - our first photo as a family of FIVE!! yikes!
Had beautiful lighting in our entryway one evening so I set up some quick pictures while the boys were playing outside with their GG :)
A few days later I set up in the dining room for the rest of the shots! I thought it would be neat to have her resting on a trunk I got while in Japan, and she's also laying on the blanket that my mom (her GG) was brought home from the hospital in - so special!
Another one from when we were still in the hospital - such a sweetie from the start!
Gazing out the front door :)
Sweet little profile
Love this one!
So peaceful!
Couldn't wait to try out this new photo prop - love the picture I got!
Sweet face!
And a smile!
Daddy says she looks like she's from the 1940's in this picture :)
Grumpy face!
Gorgeous girl!

Sweet dreams little girl!

Almost Time!

Well baby #3 will be here in less than 48 hours so I figured I had better get the blog all caught up!
Caught Nathan in Natalie's room the other day - he's a big taller than he was the last time he was in that seat!
This is what we do on rainy mornings - stay in jammies and play with trains!
Nathan insisted on wearing Ryan's backpack around the house the other night - he kept telling me 'Mommy, I go school too?' Soon enough kiddo, soon enough!
The big ol' belly at 38 weeks!
Daddy and his boys before the neighborhood Halloween party. Ryan really wanted to be Thomas the Train again this year so I ended up getting Nathan the same costume - they are BOTH train fanatics :)
Me and my big man :)
Couldn't get them to eat cotton candy, but the popcorn was a big hit!
Pumpkin carving time!
Ryan wasn't so sure about the gooey insides... he preferred to keep his hands clean!
Nathan just liked collecting seeds :)
This is what happens when Daddy gives Nathan markers... thank goodness for washables!
Ryan posing by his finished pumpkin - he designed the face himself!
Beside Nathan's... couldn't convince Nathan to come over for a picture!
Until I told him he could drive his train on the top of the pumpkin! Goober!
Ready for Halloween! They love going around the house playing Trick or Treat :)

Less than 48 hours from now they will be promoted to Big Brother and Bigger Brother - so excited!!!

A Bit of Baby Girl

Can't believe she'll be here in less than 2 weeks! The nursery is complete and ready for her :)
I figured every little girl needed flowers in her room so I made her a few paintings for the wall :)
And had to make a butterfly mobile for the corner!
Complete!

Eventually I'm going to have this framed and hung somewhere in the nursery as well since she will be a Rhode Island baby :)

Pumpkin Patch 2011

Last weekend we decided to check out the local pumpkin patch!
It was a tad sunny so most of the posed pictures turned out a bit squinty :)
The boys had fun running around checking out the pumpkins!
Nathan found one just his size!
Sweet boy!
Mama and her boys!
Such good buddies, Ry said they were going on an adventure :)
Off to discover something new!
Daddy and his big man :)
Thinking about something...
I loved these flowers - looked like clusters of garnet!

Love these boys :)
