About 10 months ago,
Alex and I took the kids to Disneyworld in
Orlando Florida.
Helena, who was only 2 then, didn't go on many of the rides, so me and
Alex took turns sitting with her while the other went on the rides with the rest of the kids. All in all, it was a fun trip. (Especially for me and
Alex-- a bit after we got home, we found out we were pregnant with
Gabriel)
Ashton started middle school this year- 6th grade! (They grow up so fast).
He absolutely loves it.
He's still quite popular, and even complains about little girls following him and
Nate around at school!
Avril and
Amelie are in 4th grade this year, and are showing us how very different they are.
Avril is taking guitar lessons, and
Amelie loves her art classes.
Phoenix and
River started first grade, and they're both little troublemakers. They seem to like switching names and confusing their teachers.
Ruby has adapted perfectly into our family. She's rather shy, like
Amelie, but seems to be doing well in kindergarten.
Helena loves staying at home with me during the day. She follows me around with one of her dolls and takes care of it as I take care of
Gabriel. She tells me when she grows up, she'd like to be a mommy.
Everyone was excited to meet baby
Gabriel, when he finally showed up. However, me and
Alex think, that after eight kids (4 boys and 4 girls, perfect!) we're ready to stop and enjoy raising the kids we have. :)
