The Hulse Family~ Michael, Lydia, EmmaLee, Carolyn, Megan & Daniel


It was so awesome to go see Lydia and see her new place in Bagdad Az!

Mid November Sophie and I flew to Arizona and spent some time with Lydia and her family. We had a great time! Thanks Lyd for hosting us, you are the bestest!


Sophia at 6months She is so fun, laughing and so smiley!

Hannah at 9.5 years

Hannah is loving 4th grade at her new school. She is proud of her hard work at school and was very frustrated for not making the honor role at school because she got an N in P.E.! She hadn't been trying to hard in P.E. but is now determined to try harder in order to get back on the honor role.
She is a great helper with the baby. She loves clothes and dressing up. She has so many clothes that we had to get rid of some, they wouldn't all fit in her dresser!

Mara at 6.5 years


Mara is 6 & 1/2 years old now. She is loving school. She has a fun loving personality.

Sophie at 4months




Here are some recent photos of Sophia taken in August. She had her 4 month check up and she weighed 13lbs 1 oz! She landed in the 50th percentile for head size and weight but the 75th percentile for length.


We are keeping busy with the kids back in school and me trying to balance Real Estate & working a few hours a day for Century 21. She is an avid eater! She still gets up usually 1 or 2 times per night (5 or 6 last night!). She is already grabbing toys and palying with them. Recently she started squealing for our attention.

Mara is working on her reading and doing better all the time. She is in soccer right now and Jay is assistant coaching her team. She is loving first grade.

Hannah is really enjoying her new school and the 4th grade. She has lots of neighborhood friends and loves to go to church and achievement days. She loves clothes and fashion and to accessorize her outfits. She is now doing her own hair as well. She likes to give pedicures and foot massages.

Mason is doing great in 6th grade. He is playing the trombone at school. He is still an avid reader and always asking for new books to read. He can't wait to turn 12 so he can do even more things in Boy Scouts. He loves scouting. So we are trying to encourage him to get as much done as he can (while he still enjoys it)

Mason loves his new little sister Sophie. He is always helping out with her and holding her. Here she needed someone to nap on and Mason decided it wasn't a half bad idea.


Mara 6, Mason 11 and Hannah 9 on June 23rd at a park in Sherwood. We wnet to visit Bart and Lisa for the weekend. The kids had a great time at this park.
