Valentine's Photo shoot- any excuse ;)

 Ellie's cute toes and fingers-- I love that they still have their baby chub-- v-day mani pedis are a tradition at our house ;)

 Emmy's cute toes and fingers-- Emmy came up with making a heart with her fingers- I love her.

 Ems was in a picture taking mood-- thankfully- you just never know

 Love this one

 elles-- was not in a picture mood… hence the candids...

 Callahan was adorable and busy and really smiling-- because his Daddy was on our walk with us.

 i adore this one.

 cutest little sisters ever.

 right after this picture Callan almost fell off the bridge.-- nightmare.

Maternity photo shoot-28 weeks with Cavanaugh Jay

 Jason is the most amazing man in the world-- he literally took an entire photo shoot as I directed him annoyingly as to what I wanted-- I love him

 my new favorite.

Family evening walk valentine's day photo shoot

Jason is my hero-- I just couldn't push the stroller up the hill today ;)

Emmy loves fuZz ball-- and spends too much time with her ;) 

Daddy was home for the night!

It's so nice to have daddy home for the night- here he is snuggling the calendula boy 

And how could he not? With those kissable little lips and luscious lashes.  He is so pretty ;) 

Ellie the fashionista

Elles picked her own ensemble -- the best part is that under the tutu and leggings she has a pair of black jeans on... Backwards.  I just love her- she always adds a little extra flare-- like on Sunday I got her totally ready and she added one of her daddy's ties as she left.  Today it was a ribbon tied like a necklace - often it's a hair accessory.  She then says "don't I look beautiful!" And she always does ;)

Life lately has been a little rough when it comes to breaking things and other craziness

My life looks like this lately... In 2 weeks we have lost 2 huge family pictures- our large mirror (my favorite piece in the house)- various decor items- my butter dish (a souvenir from Poland) and a laptop! It's been rough-- the cold weather is taking it's toll on our house! We need to get outside where running around- hiding behind things and playing with a ball are not destructive decisions ;)

Oh and to add to the joy we've been over run by a mouse colony- my life was ratatouille for a few days there. 

The handyman filled the

Mouse path cracks and holes in the house and we have caught 6 of the little stinkers who were trapped so far-- arg 

Edge of the edge

Here are the little crazies ;) 

They just make me happy ;) 

Practicing letters! It's finally clicking ;)

Emmy is loving her letters and numbers- I'm so happy!!

Callan's first haircut!!! Jan 11--

It was time- 3 separate people in 1 day said he was a pretty girl... Even though he was wearing a wolverine sweatshirt... 

Chasing after the girls and daddy 

The last "before pic" his little wings had to be clipped ;(-- I was sad - but kept the curls and it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

This is the after. Not a huge difference-- but a little more manly ;) 

Before and after from Instagram!
