Trying to get the kids dressed

While I get Jenna dressed, Austin has figured out how to climb into the cabinet in his dresser and hide! He was absolutely ecstatic. He would have napped in there if I would have let him I think.









This is me trying to get the kids dressed: "Jenna and Austin lets get dressed to go to the store..." and them running in every direction from me to see who can wear out mom the fastest!

Typical Day in the Rothman House with Mommy

Jenna and Austin got caught jumping on Jenna's bed and loving every minute of it!







Austin reading his books and doing one of his favorite things: standing in the window sill.

Audrey's Wedding

I know that I have posted a lot of pictures from Audrey's wedding the last couple of weeks, but we finally got the proofs back from the photographer and wanted to put up the good pictures.

Me and Austin

 

By the end of the evening Austin had enough, he didn't want to walk anymore!

Austin Update

Well for those of you who didn't know, Austin has been through a battery of (unnecessary) tests because he was severely underweight. They did several blood tests and weight checks and tested for Celiac Disease, his THS levels. AND afterall was said and done, the tests came back NEGATIVE! We waited for weeks on his celiac test (allergy to wheat) and are so incredibly grateful that are beautiful baby boy is fine and just a little small. He is still working with a nutritionist and speech therapist every two weeks at home and the nutritionist and Pediatric GI specialist every three months at the hospital. But, as of yesterday he is officially in the 0.83% for his weight category. He has gained a pound a month since we started this all three monthes ago, and that is fantastic. It just takes lots and lots of fatty foods that unfortunately we cannot eat! But all is well with the rest of us and that is all one can ask for and be grateful for.

Audrey's Bridals

Now that Audrey is finally married, I can post some of her 250+ bridal pictures that we took back in October. Audrey didn't want Chris to see her dress, so no one got to see the pictures.

Audrey's Wedding

I know that these aren't the greatest photos, but its all that I have to work with until we get the proofs from the photographer next week. But all went relatively smoothly and Audrey was beautiful! Congratulations Audrey and Chris!

Audrey's Bachelorette Party

These were pics from Audrey's "Bachelorette Party" before she got married. We all went to Chili's and had such a good time.

Christmas week

Christmas sort of went on all day long and for another day after that! We promised that we weren't going to get them a lot of stuff, but you know how that goes. We bought things a little at a time but by the time Christmas actually rolled around we forgot that we had a stash already. So between all the grandparents and ours, the kids opened up presents all day long and didn't get to the stockings until Friday. It was a ton of fun though!
