We're Alive!

So, all those people who told me you don't skip a beat when you add in a third kid are CRAZY. It was best described to me from a fellow parent of three, who was obviously a daddy, that said "having three kids is a complete game changer... you have to go from man to man defense to zone defense." We are busy, busy from sun up to sun down and I seem to spend most my time in the 'swagger wagon' driving here, there, and everywhere. What scares me the most is that I know it's only going to get busier as the little ones get older! Addison is doing great in Kindergarten. She has been 'Star Student' TWICE this year and learns her sight words before I have a chance to make her flash cards. What's most amazing is that she is reading. It is so awesome to watch her read books that just last year I read to her. And it's adorable to watch her read those books to Brianna. Speaking of, Brianna is doing great as well. She loves school now and has two little friends that she runs around with. Those three girls are always hugging and holding hands. Brianna is also going to be our little swimmer. She jumps in and swims underwater just like a little fish! Baby Claire is doing fabulous. She had her 9 month appt today. There is lots to love of Claire... she is 22 lbs 1 oz (90-95th percentile) and 27 1/2 inches (50th percentile). She mumbles lots of momma's & dadda's and loves to wave to everyone... usually at inappropriate times but hey, she's learning! She has turned into a great sleeper and just has the best personality. She is such a happy baby, always smiling. She is a little slow in her motor skills but she's got a lot more to move around than most! Here are some pictures of us in the pool:
