This one is for you ;)
Since I last posted, I have had another baby! Shocker. John Holcombe Loflin was born on Oct 19th, 2015 just 9 minutes before his actual due date. Sweet baby boy is almost 2 now and yesterday was his first day away from me at school for a mere 3 hours. He loved it, I survived and we are moving on to our next life phase of raising up these lovable knuckleheads and finding a bit of adventure in between the chaos.
Peter is nearly 8 years old, in second grade and is every bit the big brother....constantly annoyed at his siblings, but mostly willing to offer a helping hand when asked. He LOVES school, never misses a day, and also loves soccer and baseball. He says he'll be a baseball player when he grows up.
Lucy is 6 in a few short weeks, in Kindergarten this year (seriously where does the time go) and her favorite thing in the whole wide world is candy. Her nickname is candy land, she wants to know if there is candy in heaven, I think this is s direct correlation in her memory of Grano giving her candy every single day and Grano is in heaven.
Addy is not quite 4 and started 3 day 3's at a new school yesterday. She is a champ and is adorable to everyone else...her mother does not also get her best side, but I think it's because we spend so much time together ;). She really should still nap but she thinks she is a big kid and so she won't!
I mentioned John above, but he is a joyful as ever, learning how to talk and his facial expressions when we finally figure out what he is trying to say are hysterical. He plays nicely by himself but is happiest when all of his siblings are home from school.
Brendan and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary in April, he is enjoying his work as a financial advisor and we have made big goals for ourselves with our doTERRA essential oil business. We're looking forward to what is in store for our big little family - but are a bit sad that the siblings will once again be on both coasts and we are right back where we started ;)
Here is an updated picture of us!
