Barrow babies...

I went back to work this week... it was hard missing out on those eight hours a day i was with my babies all summer. It did make it easier though that Corbin LOVES school and goes without hesitation, and Claireb loves her babysitter. I look very forward to all the holidays and time off I have being a teacher to spend with my kids.
Claire loves shoes. Well, actually Claire is OBSESSED with shoes. We spend much of our day putting them on and taking them off. She doesn't care if they are too big, too small, boy shoes, girl shoes.. doesn't matter. She is a very girly girl... the funny thing is that I HATE SHOES. I have never been one to go shoe shopping to find the perfect shoes. I like my New Balance's and my Aggie flip flops.. that's about it.
Chris made water balloons for the kids. They had a little water balloon fight and loved it.
Water balloon fight turned into a hose fight.Corbin has learned how to put his finger on the spout and make the water spray. He thinks it is the funniest thing ever.
This is a picture from this morning. Being 3 comes with a lot of meltdowns, fighting with your sister, yelling when you don't get what you want, being demanding, being impatient and being bossy... BUT TODAY Corbin was 100% perfect all day long. He woke up in the best mood and it lasted all day long. Don't get me wrong, he is a very happy kiddo, but usually has a few times a day where he gets corrected about something. Today was totally amazing. he was hugging all over his sister, sharing without being told, used great manners... We were just so very proud of him all day long. He got to make cupcakes today for havign such a wonderful day!
Claire LOVES Corbin. The way she says his name would make your heart melt. She does whatever he does all day long. She is such a wonderful little baby girl. Corbin is such a wonderful big boy. Today they came together to show off just how precious they are. They really do make my heart so happy all day long. Watching your children love each other is such an awesome thing.
What a pretty girl... We are still working on a name for baby girl. We have not really been able to agree on anything yet. We are rearranging the house up a bit, so that all the rooms will be ready for her arrival. Claire is getting new furniture and a big girl bed, Corbs will be in a big bed too. Baby girl will be in the crib that her brother and sister are passing down to her. It is crazy to think that before we know it she will be here.... I can't wait to meet her, but on the other hand we have A LOT to do before she comes. Chris is goign to have painters elbow before this is all said and done from getting all the kids rooms fixed up!

IT'S A ...........

Girl!!!!!!! Corbin and Claire will have a little sister in January! We are all really excited! In the ultrasound baby girl looks great, that is what we are most excited about! I am a little nervous that we will not only have one little diva prissy princess running around here bossing us around... but 2! Corbin will be a very good big brother to his two little sisters! I am really looking forward to bringing our new baby girl into this family, she will be very loved!
In this pic Corbin is trying to tie his shoes!
the whole family came over tonight for dinner and to watch our ultrasound dvd of sweet baby girl... we had not told them the baby was a girl. we made them wait all day to watch the ultrasound and find out... They were all really excited!
Our little Claireb has been sick this week. She started running a fever Saturday night and it did not break until yesterday. I took her to the urgent care place Sunday, because she was just really sick due to the fever and seemed to be in a lot of pain. Turns out she had an ear infection.... Poor baby girl! Today she finally has turned the corner. No fever all day.... her anitbiotics have finally kicked in!
OUR BIG BOY HAS STARTED PRESCHOOL!!!!! This was a huge week at our house. Corbin started preschool this week. It has been very hard on all of us ( I think the hardest on Chris)... He is going ot school Tues/Wed and Thurs... Chris drops him off in the morning.. The last two mornings Corbin has been really upset when Chris went to leave him. This broke Chris's heart and even left him in tears. The good news is when we call to check on him they say he only cries for a few minutes after Chris leaves and then has fun with all the kids. I pick him up right after his nap! he tells us little things about his school that are so cute. He also says he likes his class ehich makes my heart smile! I know every day it will get easier and easier as he adjusts to his new school! I know he will learn a lot, and make a lot of new friends.... It is really hard though to walk out the door when your little one is screaming and reaching for you.... This was one of the pictures he made on his first day of school..
Here is the happy baby boy! Soon to be the big brother of two little sisters....
I cannot even begin to tell you how very blessed Chris and I feel to have these beautiful babies... I really can't even put into words how much we love our babies.... it is just somehting i will never be able to explain....
