Another Hot Day

Well, I seem to be taking more and more photos! AGH! Maybe too many? I've decided my photos look better in a warmer climate. Haha.

So I better post what I have today or I will have too many by the end of the week.

Here is what we have done today in a matter of....the last 3 hours!

Cohen posing for me - wow he smiled! Kinda.

Me and the boys - I think Landen was actually sleeping here.

Oh this is classic - me chasing Cohen with a baby in my arms...this is my everyday!

Cohen running like the wind...everywhere we go he run run runs.

Mom pushing the boys on one of our walks. It was cloudier today, but way hotter then it has been...or at least much more humid. We didnt walk very far needless to say.

Dogs are everywhere! On the beach, streets, allies, resturaunts. Kinda creeps me out with the boys.

A quick update of photos....

The boys very first plane ride - went very well. Actually the plane ride so far has been the easiest part. Cohen asked today if we could go home...oh break my heart. I felt so bad.

All four of us - Landen is hiding under the cover though...

Cohen learning to jump in the pool. He has gotten better I will say!This is what we do all day - sleep, which is great b/c I am chasing Cohen that whole time.
People comment on how tired I make them by watching me.

Look how far away we are from the condo...and this was only half way to the water.

Aunt Heather playing soccer with Cohen - I think she is ready to kill him. They share a room and he is constantly hopping in bed with her and waking her up early. Lets just say she is ready to go home and dosnt want to come back this summer.
This is how far it is to the water - yes that is my sleeping baby in that stroller a LONG ways away. Dont worry even at 10am the beach is always this dead.


Here my precious is sleeping soundly :)
Until I have more I hope you enjoyed!

Hola!

So we are here finally.

The past six weeks, since Landen was born, might as well have been 2 days. I about blinked and here we were.

The trip down went amazingly well. Cohen was compliant which was a Godsend. Landen literally slept the WHOLE way. Woke only to eat, but never even fussed. Hallelujah. I did however use a pipe for Cohen. Ooops. But you know what, it was so worth it.

It is very Hot here. So hot that I haven't been able to keep Landen asleep during the day. The condo is small with 7 of us in it - Cohen is feeling cramped so he wants to be outside 24/7 but Landen doesn't like the heat so he wants to be indoors. Greeeeat!

Here are some photos I took this morning on the beach. I have some from the plane I will have to put on later ( they are on another camera)

*My three boys, what a beautiful sight!

*This is our condo we live at, for now at least.

*I think this photo looks like something out of the movies or a dream or something...I love it!

More to come soon!

Another Love in my Life...

So I promised some photos of the newest lil one....here are a few but they are also on my karingastudios.smugmug.com plus more :)

Landen Breck Wieringa

Aaron and I had our baby boy!

He happened to make is due date by 3 min!

His name is Landen Breck
Born on 2.22.08
at 11:57 pm
He weighed 8lbs 5 ozs (yes i like to have big babies...)
He was 19 1/2 inches

I was so glad to actually VBAC! Almost didnt happen - but am grateful it did.

Here are a couple photos - more to follow someday soon :)

Needed a lil laugh....

Here are a few cartoon pregnancy laughs for readers out there...if nothing else I feel better reading them :)

Moving to Costa Rica

Well Aaron and I have a new announcement. April 4 we will be moving to Costa Rica! Its been in the works now for a while - just everything has finally come together and are now able to tell everyone.

I will be back and forth a bit - but having two little boys might tie are hands a little bit on how much we travel...

We are really excited and anxious now. A new baby and a new country all in a few weeks! This is potentially only temorary (5-10 years) But we will just take one year at a time and see where the Lord leads us.

I would give you more of a job description - but I dont really know exactly what he will be doing - he has a better understanding then I, so when I figure ut out I will explain more :)

Well I hope you all have a great day. Please pray for us in the upcoming months as we have a lot of adjustments to make.

Thanks!

Here are some photos:(Here is the beach we will be living on)

(another photo of the beach/town)

(The condo we will be living...gorgeous!)

(and the gorgeous pools at the condo)

Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction

what is that you ask....well...lets just say it HURTS LIKE @&##!!!!!! Cohen decided to crawl under a gate that had only a half foot large opening. So immeditaly I knew I could not get him if he suceeded to get under. So I quickly lunged (stupid stupid stupid!) to get him. Resulting in this horrible pain...I thought the baby would drop right out. I could no longer walk or move.

So you ask, what did you do? I separated my symphysis bones I can no longer hardly walk, roll over in bed. I cant stand on one foot. But instead of getting better, its expected to get worse since the babies head is resting on it and he is getting bigger by the day.

Here is a photo of the lovely structure....(the bottom one circled is what is separated)

Simply Adorable

I recently took on the task of doing a photo shoot this past weekend. I had agreed way back before I had taken a break...but some issues popped up making it difficult. So we did it when he was 3 months old. Isn't he precious! Watching him made me SO excited to have mine...having a lil one that cant run from me all the time :)

Here are a few of my favorites. The next baby photos posted will be Baby Wieringa :)

Haute Mama :)

Aaron's cousin Kelsey is starting to get into photography....well she wanted some practice - so I offered to be the "model". Help her start her portfolio. I wasnt sure how I felt about a maternity shoot, but I will admit I really like the photos! She did so amazing, I would never have know this was her first photoshoot.

Thanks Kels! Cant wait for some photos with the baby when he comes!

This photo makes me laugh - he was kicking me SO hard and she caught a photo of it! Love it!

And this photo here ...haha. Aaron was being annoying and watching and I was being stupid - and of course Kels caught that on camera too. Ha. Too fun.
