Coming Soon......

I promise some (a million) Disney World pictures are coming soon ;-)

I love how each girl is extra 'smiley' with their favorite princess!! Can you guess which one is which??

Happy Sunday!

These pictures are from before we left for church this morning. They were all being silly and asked me to take their picture. Ethan has been having a tough time with his coughing/asthma this morning; hence the rosy cheeks. I was so proud of myself for getting everyone ready and to church before the service started! We miss Daddy, but we know he's having a blast at the Masters.

Only 3 days until DISNEY!!

A New Routine

Ethan had his appointment with the pediatric pulmonologist this morning. I really liked the doctor and I'm so thankful we live in a city with the best specialists so close by. He gave him the diagnosis of asthma. He couldn't believe it took us almost 5 months to get in to see him. Ethan should have been on the medicines then! He has a maintenance inhaler that I will give him twice a day and then a "rescue" inhaler for when he has episodes of coughing and wheezing. I think it will take some time to get used to giving it to him....and I wish he wasn't so strong! But soon enough it will become just a part of our routine. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers for Ethan. Here are some pictures of him and one the inhalers and the aerochamber I'll use to administer it. He's such a trooper!

He's a quick learner ;-)

Easter 2010

We had a very blessed Easter yesterday. The kids played with their new goodies from the Easter bunny, who had help from Santa this year! How thoughtful of Santa to leave a bag full of happies for the kiddos. The church service was wonderful and we even had time to take a picture with the flower cross outside before the service began. We went to Nana and Papa's for lunch, which was fantastic, and the kids enjoyed hunting for eggs OVER and OVER again (thanks Aunt Karen)! We hope everyone had an enjoyable weekend just as we did. Ethan's first Easter couldn't have been better and we are so grateful he is here to help us celebrate. Have fun looking at all the pictures and feel free to comment!

My 3 bunnies!
Ethan playing with his new bath boat.
People were taking pictures on either side of the cross.....oh well. Mommy really needs a tan!
Happy Easter!

Emily helping Allison hunt for eggs. Such sweet sisters - what would do without them?

Emily really needs a haircut, but we are trying to grow out her bangs and I didn't think a bobby pin would go well with her dress ;-)
There is nothing sweeter than this. Except if Emily was in it (and not pitching a fit like she was at this moment).
Our first attempt at a real family picture in a long time. Considering 3 kids, 3 and under, they turned out surprisingly well! It was very bright - we needed sunglasses.

This one cracks me up with me holding Allison, Allison touching Ethan, Ethan touching Allison, and Emily touching Mark.

At least Emily and Papa were ready....
Nana and Papa with the grandkids. Wonderful picture! The kids will LOVE this picture when they are adults.
Aunt Karen and Uncle Ted with the kids. I think Allison is dreaming about that cookie sucker!
Papa with his grandson. Awesome picture of two handsome guys!

Allison's happy moment!

Daddy and Emily were washing the van. Ethan was getting a bottle. Bella was chilling on the blanket. Allison actually had a happy moment! Today was busy - and wonderful. We went to our church Easter egg hunt this morning with friends, then lunch, nap, and outside fun. Allison is showing us the true meaning of Terrible Two's!! I do not like it. She is supposed to be my sweet, quiet little girl. This too shall pass! Right? Love, love this weather....hope it's here to stay! Happy Easter!

Just Another Day in Paradise!

This was after MDO the other day. He was so hungry and so tired! Poor little guy. He took a good long nap after he finished his afternoon bottle. I love when they get lots of fresh air and sunshine outside during the day.

peaceful
After the long nap, I had all three kids outside playing. I looked over at them on the blanket and couldn't believe how big they all are now. No more baby babies! I got sad, but am also looking forward to a spring/summer where I don't have to hold anyone all the time. I took a bunch of pictures - very good subjects!

War Eagle!
Look at those cheeks! YUM!

These pictures of all 3 Kiel kids resemble multiples! And some days it really feels like it!

Allison and Ethan look like twins here....

Ethan ADORES Emily. This captures it completely!
He is quickly learning who has all the snacks ;-) I love how Emily is in her own little world!

I think these two look just alike in this picture.

No words can describe this.....
The sweetest ever! They had no clue I was taking these from the front porch.
