Here is our new addition to the family

Logan James Ballou weighing in at 6 lbs 15 ounces, and 20 inches long. Just a bit bigger than his sisters. He is such a great baby!! We are so lucky and blessed to have our new little man in our lives. Both Savannah and Eliza just love him to pieces. They constantly want to give him kisses and hugs. They are both such great big sisters, Logan is a lucky boy.

So life has been very busy but a lot of fun. Savannah will be turning 3 here in a few months. She is my biggest helper, always willing to serve and eager to please. She is an amazing big sister. I have to say one of my favorite things about Savannah is still her spunky personality. She is our "Drama Queen" She can bring it with the best of them. Which can prove to be a challenge at times, but honestly we hope that passion she shows never goes away.

Eliza is what we call our "Loaded Pistol". She runs around here like a bullet out of a gun. She just turned a year old, and there is only one speed with that girl "Full speed". But I have to say she also has one of the sweetest dispositions. Eliza is still very much our Daddy's girl. It doesn't matter when or where she could be sick or feeling just fine and given the choice she would pick her Daddy every time. Both of the girls are growing and changing so much its amazing to see how different they are, but they both love being big sisters!! Logan is growing and changing so fast already. He is a very happy baby, with a very contagious smile. Just like his sisters he's got the best dimples ever!! He is already sleeping through the night, so I really have no room to complain. He is a great baby!!

Beau and I are doing well. Beau is still working for UPS and is doing really well. He is an amazing Father and Husband. I am very lucky and blessed to have such an amazing man in my life. I know I couldn't do it without him and all his help, Thanks Love!!! We are enjoying our family and the time we have to spend together. And are looking forward to a summer of fun!!

WE'RE BACK! Finally we were able to get our computer fixed!! (thanks Jason!) So its been a busy summer/fall so far. But life is going well. Beau is good, working hard as usual, Teri getting bigger and ready for February to be here. Savannah is getting so big way to fast. Its amazing how fast she learns things and the little things she picks up on! And our little Eliza soon to be turning the big #1. So crazy, she is walking all over the place and thinks she should be able to do whatever her big sister does. They both are so beautiful. But can we just say how much TROUBLE!! We are in.

We had a great Halloween!! We carved pumpkins and took the girls trick-or-treating. They looked so cute in their costumes. Savannah was a pro this year and had a lot of fun, and got lots of treats. This was Eliza's first year and it was so funny to watch her expressions when she saw all the costumes. But she had a good ole' time. I thought she would be trying all night to take her costume off but she could have cared less that it was on. But she did care about getting her candy and watch out if you try to take it away.

Savannah carving her pumpkin she wasn't so sure she wanted to clean it out but we finally talked her into it and after a few times she was hooked and she just wanted to spend the rest of the time cleaning the pumpkin out. What a nut!!




Look how cute they are!!! Our Butterfly Princess and our little Ladybug. Whats funny about Savannah's costume was when we picked it out she absolutly hated it and didn't want anything to do with it. But she must have warmed up to it because she was so excited to put it on and it took an army to get it off.

Enjoying Spring!!

We are really enjoying Spring time, we have been able to get out of the house and enjoy the warm weather. We took the girls into Washington DC for our annual Cherry Blossom trip. Talk about crazy day!! There were so many people there, driving around was a joke. Beau was ready to give up and go home, it was that bad. But thanks to Uncle Jason, who saved the day!!! We ended up making it and had a great time and got some fun family pictures, so we guess it was worth the craziness.

Our girls are very lucky to have some cousins that live close enough to spend time with. Thanks to Alexandra, Victoria and Bella our girls are never lonely. (We love you guys!!)

The Cherry Blossom's are beautiful! If your ever in DC around that time they are a must see!!

We had a wonderful Easter. Savannah actually seemed to get and understand the concept of dying the eggs. She was so cute, all excited about seeing and knowing all the colors and mixing them together, it was an adventure for all of us.

We had a lot of fun dying eggs!!

We also spent some time on Easter at Uncle Jason & Aunt Melanie's for dinner. Then the kids got to have an Easter egg hunt. Savannah was so funny she was all excited to go find eggs, grabbed her basket and headed outside. Once we were outside though she realized she would have to walk in the grass (which was longer than normal) to find the eggs. She was not to sure she wanted to that. But soon figured out that was the only way she would get her eggs so off she went. But if there was an egg under a bush or somewhere she didn't want to go she would let you know and politely say "pweese" asking you to get it for her (cute girl).

Here is Savannah out finding her eggs after a little coaxing

Eliza missing the egg hunt to catch up on her sleep.....

Our little " bucket head " I think she enjoyed the bucket much more after Easter was over. What a goof!!

We have also had some great weather, which makes us even more excited for Summer we have lots of fun things planned. We are so ready to hit the beach and the zoo. Savannah will be turning 2 soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and Eliza is 4 months, we can't believe it where does the time go??? What can I say we just want our girls to stay little. We have really enjoyed watching how different they are and seeing their own personalities come through. Savannah is a leader, often stubborn and determined but has such a tender heart! Eliza is so sweet!! You can't help but smile when you look at her and those baby blue's, and her cute little dimples. She is such a happy girl! They are both so full of life and so much fun we couldn't ask for more.

We are so blessed!!




We love our Girls - xoxo
