Blowing out 4 candles on his Star Wars cupcakes at Grandma & Grandpa Ludwig's house in Algona

Wow! Where has the time gone?!

I guess the fact that I haven't posted since January gives you a small idea of the craziness that takes place in our house daily, and how little time I have to do such luxuries as spending time on the computer. I underestimated just how much time it would take to work full-time, take care of our 3 kids, our home, and get my master's degree all at the same time while training for a half marathon...I must be insane.

So rather than try to recap the past 4 months in photos(which is a bit overwhelming since I got a new camera for Christmas!), I decided just to pick somewhere and go with it, so here's Easter!!!

Ludwig Family updates...

The cutest Hawk fans around were pretty excited about the Bowl victory! Especially Reese...

Reese LOVES her new busy ball popper she got for Christmas(thanks Aunt Angie!)!

We started "drinking" from a sippy cup...mostly we just like to chew on the spout with our new tooth that is poking through on the bottom row!!!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

We have the best daddy ever!!! Thanks for being so much fun Daddy, we love you! Sydney, Bennett, and Reese

Daddy loves cheesecake so we made him a toffee crunch cheesecake for his birthday cake...yummy!

Snuggling on the couch after cheesecake...so warm and toasty!!

The Holiday Season

Posing for a pic at Grandpa & Grandma's house... Sydney read our traditional "Night Before Christmas" story on our Christmas Eve this year, it is still unbelievable to me...

Our little snow princess dressed up for church!

making reindeer cookies...

Bennett on stage at his preschool Christmas program...he did so well singing, preschool has really helped him to come out of his shell this year!

Sydney's Big Moment!

Sydney lost her first tooth in the middle of her bottom row...she was beyond thrilled! We had to write a note to the tooth fairy to explain what happened, because there was no tooth to put under her pillow(we're guessing that she swallowed it, but she does not want to believe that!) Syd with her note back from the tooth fairy, and her $1.00 bill!

The very next day she lost the tooth right beside it! She made sure to hang onto this one!

Winter Happenings

Reese graduated to the big girl tub!
Sydney finished her session of gymnastics and is moving up to Level 3 Advanced after Christmas

Bennett went to the dentist for the first time...no cavities!!

We are thankful...

Our 3 miracles...what more could we ask for?
