UPDATE

After an almost 2 year hiatus I think I will start blogging again.  It is the best way I know how to write down my memories.  Since my last post, we have moved into a new house and had another baby.  Manning Clay was born September 17th, 2013.  He is almost 1!  He is a giant :)  Loves his sisters more than anything.  He has completed our family even though we didn't know anything was missing.  My big girl has started Kindergarten (August 7, 2014) - Class of 2027.  My Caroline is now the only Welch at her daycare (until little bro joins her after he turns a year old).  She has adjusted like a champ.  Annabelle has been waiting for the first day of kindergarten for her entire life (feels like).  She LOVES it.  I love it for her.  She had refused to learn to read before starting K.  When I would ask her why she would always respond "that's what kindergarten is for mom! to learn to read"  She knows lots of site words and is on the VERGE of being able to read completely.  It is one of the most awesome things, someone right on the tip of being able to completely explode on a new ability.  She is only 3 days (well 4 counting today) and they haven't even tried reading yet but she is just about there, only because she is now finally in Kindergarten. 

I am so excited for our future.  I hate that the kids get older but the excitement makes up for that.  They will always be my three little birds.
