May 12 = Graduation Festivities Day 1

Today my family went to Matthew's first graduation ceremony- they had one for his minor- Non-Profit.  They provided a delicious lunch (with sweet tea) and had an awesome speaker.  Here's what my kids were up to while not being at a ceremony they would have added a lot of noise to...

And here's pictures from the ceremony:

And more of what my children were up to... including my furry child:

Also, I saw this on facebook and sent it to Zachary for encouragement ;)

May 6 = Rosie Day!

We got Miss Rosie today!!  Here's Rosie with her little sister...

 And on her blanket...

 We predict that Malia and Rosie are going to be best friends.

 Liam likes Rosie too... he's not quite as interested but maybe with time he will be!

April 19 = Rough OT Day

So as I was getting the kids into the building for Liam's OT appointment, I noticed Liam was wearing his big brother shirt and Malia was wearing her big sister shirt.  This was not intentional but I thought it was cute!

Malia is starting to really question why Liam gets to go into the fun rooms for his appointments and she has to sit outside in the waiting room.  Today, she was distraught about it.  When Liam came out of his appointment, she snuck in and had her own fun.  She did not want to leave.  And this almost 8 months pregnant mama didn't have the easiest time persuading her otherwise.  I called Zachary on the way home and told him I'm never doing that again.  From now on, if I don't have help with Malia, I'm canceling his appointment.  

I was very excited that Zachary and I had a date night planned after the nightmare of OT.  We went to Chart House on the water in Annapolis- very pretty and very yummy!  I also snapped a picture of the baby bump because I'm starting to realize it won't be there for much longer...

April 4= Sleepy Boy Day

Here's a belly shot:

And here's my sleepy boy- how sweet is he?  I didn't even try to make him go to school today because of how late he was up last night.

March 2 = Put Shoes on Myself Day

Being about 6 months pregnant, this title would be an accomplishment if it were about me but it's about Malia.  First though, here's a timehop picture of Mr. Liam from 4 years ago!

Here's Malia standing on a cat toy... she proceeded to jump off and get back on about 30 times after this.

Here's Malia putting her pretty pink sparkly shoes on all by herself!

And here's Malia decorating my baby bump with star stickers!

February 23 = Brave Momma Day

First, this:

 Then baby bump update in my dirty mirror:

Liam has been going around shirtless quite often as of late.

We had speech today...

And after they were crazy at speech, I decided to take them to chickfila.  I'm not sure what I was thinking... I'm just an eternal optimist.  They did pretty well.

Soon after we sat down I realized I didn't have my keys.  Thankfully, when we got to the car, they were in the ignition.  So I'm grateful that no one drove off in my car and that I didn't lose my keys somewhere between the car and chickfila.

On the way home, Liam and Malia fought over whose Mommy I am.  "My mommy."  "No... my mommy."  "No.  Not yours.  Mine."  It seriously went on for the whole ride.

And with that... 

I'm caught up!!

January 19 = Haircut Day

It's so funny how both of our kids have unique things about them that remind us of either Zachary or Me.  Malia can be super serious or super silly which is the same as Zachary.  But she also likes to sleep, which is like me.

And she likes puzzles, also like me.

So some days I am fully aware of my limitations.  Today, I decided to throw caution to the wind.  I had just taken both kids to Liam's OT appointment which I try to avoid at all costs because it's an hour long appointment and while Malia is typically easy to entertain, for some reason, in medical or therapy offices, she is not.  But they had that new puzzle today and so OT wasn't too stressful so I had the bright idea of taking Liam to get a haircut.  Getting Liam a haircut is no walk in the park.  But he needed one and I figured no matter how bad it is, we will survive.

Also, here's another belly shot!  Zachary made me laugh while I was taking the picture- I'm not a selfie girl but this is the last pregnancy so I want to document this growing belly one more time.

January 6 = Let Me In Day

First I've got a baby bump update...

 And here's Liam really wanting to get in the computer room...

And here's some art work from Liam.  His teacher sends home art work almost every day so I've decided to take pictures and display them here so that I don't have to find somewhere to sort them :)
