Maeve and I focused in on heart shaped crafts for the last couple weeks. Often Maeve's friend joined in too. Here are a few of the things we did. Some of the other crafts we did were really simple like painting hearts. Nothing too fancy. I think our next theme will be rainbows...

It's really getting real over here! Baby Treehouse's birth is fast approaching which means I really need to complete some tasks like packing my hospital bag and packing up some things for the kids. Wow, we're going to have 5 children in our house!

I asked Conor to take pictures of my glorious belly. Gosh, there's a baby in there and he's getting bigger each day. This has been my hardest pregnancy. Treehouse is my most active baby! I'm excited to see what he looks like and what his lil personality is like!

Soaking up those snuggles!

Hard to believe my sweet, tiny baby girl is now 10 years old, but she is! Greta could hardly sleep the night before her birthday and was up early! We loved celebrating her with foods she chose, presents, cake and outdoor time with friends. Maeve helped me make a lemon cake for Greta and we shared it with friends in the backyard around a fire. The day before Greta's birthday, she went skiing with the ski crew and I made cinnamon buns for them.

Greta is an energetic, clever girl. She loves email, reading and being with her family. I love my Greta so much!

Conor and the big girls have gone skiing up at Mt Spokane almost every weekend since the beginning of January. I'm pleased to report that they love it! This is a dream come true for me. I've wanted my family to get into XC skiing ever since we moved here. I can't wait to join in next winter! Last weekend, I sent my camera with Holly and Greta and here's what they brought back. Love those 2!
