our bigger family.

our favorite visitors came just before solly arrived.

my "new" typical morning.

He is here!

Saul August Rahbar

"Solly"

10 lb. 4 oz.

(yep, you read that right)

absolutely perfect.

goof balls.

i was just taking a second to go through the very few pictures i have taken this summer.

can you say goof balls?  

i seriously cannot get over how goofy these kids of mine are, and how they all bring it out of each other.

enjoy the pictures.

they certainly made me smile!

seven.

better late than never, right?

this kid deserves a whole lot more, 

but let's face it, we are in the dog days of summer,

and i am busy.
and tired.
and very, very pregnant.

we did take a full weekend to celebrate our little gem,

ada madeline.

she is sparkly and wonderful,

helpful and witty,

truly a sunny spot in every day.

i LOVE spending time together, just she and i.

she is so smart and thoughtful, 

i seriously could not have asked for a more wonderful person

to be in my life.

and she is mine.

happy seventh birthday my girl!

i love you more than you will ever know.

ps- i forgot to charge the camera before her birthday, so i only have iphone pictures.  and, we have yet to take an official birthday picture.  did i mention we have been busy?
