Picture of the Week: Styling Poppa's Hair


As usual, Perry didn't want to wake up Monday morning.


When she finally did get up, she demanded to talk to Daddy, so we FaceTimed him.


Allison talked us into going in for a quick gender reveal ultrasound on our lunch break one day, and we found out that we are having a baby BOY!!


The Halls came over for pizza to celebrate our big news, and Perry fed Ava ice cream after dinner.


We had Grace's end of season soccer party at the park where the girls got trophies and got down on pizza and cupcakes.


Isaac's Dad was especially excited that we were having a boy and sent us this picture that he made.


As I was driving to pick the girls up from school, I noticed this cool rainbow around the sun.


I grabbed Perry and headed home, since Isaac was picking up Grace and Char. She snacked on chips, and we watched Hocus Pocus for the 500th time this week.




Jen dropped off the cutest taco swaddle and some cookies to celebrate our boy news. She's seriously the sweetest!


The girls all held hands in the back of the car on our way to soccer Saturday morning. Charley's team was in a tournament, so our weekend was booked.


Her team won the first game 11-0!


We had two hours in between games, so we stopped by Poppa and Grandma's to visit. The girls love to get Poppa's comb out of his pocket and do his hair. It's the cutest!


Char's team had their second game of the day and won 3-0.


The girls rocked their shades as we drove to the District for dinner at Panera. A warm bread bowl full of soup was needed after a day spent outside in the cold.


We had to walk over to check out the big Christmas tree, because the girls have been begging to put ours up for weeks.


Sunday morning we were back to the fields for more soccer. Perry got a hot cocoa and walked around drinking it "just yike Daddy".


The opposing team came out and scored a quick three goals, and Char's team lost for the first time since their very first game at the beginning of the season. They did so great, and it was their first season since they moved up into the bigger division. We're so proud of all of them and can't wait to see what big things they do next season!



We cheered Charley up by letting the girls decorate our Christmas tree. I was going a little crazy watching them put the ornaments on, but they went outside to play with the Sebastians a little later. I realized I hadn't put the garland on, so I took everything off and redid it. They'll never know.


These little elves sure looked adorable helping each other hang all of the ornaments, though.


Perry napped while I decorated the rest of the house with all of our indoor Christmas decor.


When she woke up, she fell in love with our Fisher Price nativity scene. Baby Jesus is her new favorite toy.


That's all for now! See ya next week.

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
