We began the year on a ski trip with my family (parents, brothers, and sister-in-law) in NC. My son got his first experience on ice skates and skiing. E was not feeling well for much of the trip, but we did get her out in the snow near the end of the week.

L turned 4 in February.

After his 4th Birthday, L was old enough to enroll in the Nashville Predator Get Out And Learn Hockey program. He got his first experience on ice in hockey gear and loved it!
During the spring, E announced that we were expecting our 3rd baby wearing her Big Sister shirt and holding the ultrasound picture. We called the baby "Baby Bagel" for the first several months of my pregnancy.

E turned 2 in May and we celebrated with a Princess themed Birthday Party and then went to Holiday World in Indiana.

In July we took our annual vacation to Seaside Florida. E was a princess and refused to put her feet in the sand, while L was digging in the sand and splashing in the waves the whole time.
 |
| Me and the Kiddos: This was as close to the sand/water as E got. |

L participated in the Nashville Predator Hockey Camp the week after our vacation to Florida. We had to purchase all of his own equipment ($$$), but he had a blast.

In August, L started preschool for the first time. He goes two days a week from 9-3 and is absolutely loving it.

We learned that "Baby Bagel" was a boy sometime in May and gave him the name O in June. So all summer long he kept growing and growing... and we kept waiting and waiting for his arrival.

| He kept growing... |

| And Growing... |

 |
| And growing... |
 |
| Until he FINALLY decided to join us... 6 days after his due date! |

Having three children has been a blast. Baby O is a really great baby and goes with the flow pretty easily. If I were getting more sleep, I might even say it's no more difficult having three (right now) than it was having two. Here are a some photos from the last couple of months:
