Wow... 2014?? Where did the last 5 years go? (I guess I should ask where the last year went... I know I am so so far behind in my blog updates.) Lots happening here!
Lets see... Since my last post we had a baby! :) Little Miss Zoie Isabelle was born October 28th 2013. She was 8lb 7oz and 21 inches long... and came into the world at 9:38am. She was right on with her sisters at a start to finish labor of 8 hours total. (thankfully a pretty short active labor and only one minute from 8cm dialated to 10, with one push out!) That pretty much sums up the birth story. As always, so very thankful for my amazing husband who I could NOT have done it without. Also, a HUGE thanks to Auntie Em, who stayed with the girls overnight (2 nights being we went in the night) and they were pleased as punch. Not only did they get an overnight with their awesome auntie, but they got a new baby sister! :)
Our first family picture of 5!

Baby girl. 1.5m old.
Macie turned 2 on December 1st! She is growing up rapidly. Loving to go potty on the toilet, does everything Kenzie does, talks really quite clear, can count from 1-10 (and sometimes even up to 20) Loves singing her abc's, wheels on the bus and itsy bitsy spider. She still LOVES cheese and and eats almost anything you give her. Shes quiet but snuggly and when she gets to know you she adores you! She wanted a pink puppy party..... so thats what we had!
Reading on the couch..
She was so excited when we sang to her!

My little business has gotten off the ground... check out www.kokonutkates.com! We have enjoyed making lots of fun products! Striving to be natural and non-toxic in everything we have around the business had formed. (besides the fact I use coconut oil for everything... just adding to it for different stuff!)
