August 10 on 10

As always our days start out in my room where Adrain wakes up every single day!  Thank God for a king size bed because I don't know what would happen when Sid starts making her way in.  I already get stuck in the middle and being almost eight months pregnant I sweat like nobody's business!  Even when Manny leaves to work and I move over to his side of the bed she creeps over so she's right on top of me!  I suck it up though and just keep telling myself that I need to love it because their will come a day when she doesn't want to sleep in my bed anymore.  Well it's nice to know someone is well rested LOL!

 

 
 
 
 After breakfast we head over to the park for a few hours before it gets too hot.  As always I get a sign from my dad to let us know he's with us.  I can't believe it's already been four months since he's left this world!  I always thought it was impossible and I find myself still pretending that I will physically see him again.  I allow myself to pretend that he will walk through my door and as his vibrant, loud voice calls my name he washes any dishes in my sink.  I come in the kitchen and tell him his hair looks crazy and he laughs while running his wet hands through his hair and with his eyebrows moving up and down he says, "You got a handsome daddy"!  I've never missed anyone so much in my life!

 
 
Adrain plays a little three on three game of basketball!  It's her first time and she gets a little down on herself for not being as good as everyone else.  I tell her she did great and she tells me I shouldn't lie to her and only say what she wants to hear!  I'm pretty sure she is only 5 but sometimes she talks to me as if she is 25! 
 
 
Every Tuesday night we watch Americas Got Talent and Adrain says she will be on the show in the future.  She always asks if I want to hear the song she's going to sing and I listen while she belts out some random melody that she makes up from scratch!  In the below picture I asked her to sing her song for me and she didn't even hesitate at the opportunity!
 
 
 
 Today I am 31 weeks pregnant with baby girl #3!  These days Braxton Hicks has taken over daily and I lose my breath going up a flight of stairs but I am happy that she is healthy and consistently doing tae bo inside my belly! 



Every time I have a checkup appointment for baby girl these two love to play doctor and patient.
 
 
 
 Sid just coughing in Adrains face for no reason in the hospital parking lot!
 
 
I am trying to be in my photos more with my kids just because I want them to be able to look back and know that I was with them instead of always behind the camera.  It is definitely challenging and time consuming but I'm sure it will get easier as time goes on.  On the way home from the hospital Sidney told me she wanted to go to bed.  We read some books and then she just wanted to rock.  We do this every day so it was nice to be able to capture this memory.

June 10 on 10

Today I knew I was going to do this months ten on ten but I'm not going to lie... I struggled!  I haven't actually taken out my camera in a while except to take a maternity photo of myself.  Photography is still a passion but at times I get overwhelmed with light, settings, and focus.  Ok moving on! 
Breakfast Time!

 
After breakfast we decided to go to the park to feed the geese some old Kashi crackers that I swore I would eat because they are good for me. After a year of living in the cabinet I think I'm good with all that!  Needless to say we didn't make it down to the geese because it was really windy and cold but we got some photos quick.




 
 
Adrain was happy to make it back to the car and bundle up!
 
 
 
Sid made her way back in too LOL!
 
 
 
We thought a trip to Billy Beez would be good to burn off some energy!
 
 
Because I think about my dad everyday and I know he sends me signs to let us know he's with us!
 
 
 
 
We finished the night off with my oldest baby graduating from her second year of preschool!  She was so excited as she walked across the stage in front of a large audience of people. She was also very pleased that her father yelled out, " Yo Adrain!" imitating Rocky! I can't believe she will be going to kindergarten!
