Alia started preschool going in the afternoon from 12:15 to 3:15 at the Walter Ambrose Family Center here in Webster Groves.  We are staying busy trying to do as much as possible before 3rd baby arrives(Sept 12th) and we are trying to take advantage of the nice weather. Below are some pictures of what we have been up to.

Spring 2013

Hello Friends and Family,

I have not been keeping you informed as I should.. I have many excuses but the main one is that I needed a new camera since my old one bit the dust. My husband for my birthday in May got me one so now I am back at it. Some of these pictures are from before my last camera died and I am now posting but most are from this spring. I hope these pictures capture the moment(s) you all are not always able to see or be a part of. I hope this catches you up some. As I am not a writer and this blog is mainly a photo one I won't drag this out. 

Just to fill most of you in. On May 7th I was hospitalized to get my appendix out that was causing a couple of weeks of problems. I am still healing but feel much better. I feel the recovery is slower since I am pregnant with our 3rd which we found out will be a girl due in September. We are excited on expanding the family.God timing is Perfect and He is Faithful!  Thank you to all who prayed for me and were able to help us out. We are greatly thankful to all.
