To a family of 5

It's still amazing to think that we are a family of 5.  Honestly, it blows my mind that Michael and I have completed our family.  It seems like just yesterday that we got married, but that was almost 9 years ago. Guess you could say it's been so much fun that time has just passed quickly.  I wonder if our parents thought the same thing as they stared at those little faces around the dinner table?!

Kinley Kate has been such a blessing of an addition to our family!  The boys have embraced her with open and loving hearts and LOTS and lots of kisses.  I think she will be well protected by her older brothers as she grows up.  They are completely in love with her.

I asked myself and many of my friends with three or more children before we had Kinley what life was like adjusting to with the third child because for some odd reason going to number three scared me more than going to two did.  My mind was set at ease as I grew to really realize that it didn't matter because each milestone this sweet child made it was the last time we would be experiencing it.  So, I chose to just enjoy and remember how quickly time flies and each of those milestones passes.  I want to remember and treasure each and every one of them to the fullest.

And what's not to love about this sweet, beautiful face....
