Sweet Baby E was baptized last weekend, so I'm posting some old and new baptism photos. It was a lovely and memorable day! She looked so pretty in her dress. It was a rainy day, so there wasn't much natural light in the church. The pictures didn't turn out great for that reason.

Here are the best pictures from the cake smash. I took at least 100.

My personal favorites (above and below)

Grace is all about getting dolled up and then looking in the mirror.

She's also all about being mommy to all of her babies!

Cuddles with Kiya before bedtime.  

Jack and Uncle Mike

haha, my face is funny, but I wanted to post how my nights look before bedtime. All the babies love to cuddle before they go to bed.

Mr. Lefty

Erin modeling one of the baptism outfit options. She is being baptized on September 9th during the 10AM mass at Blessed Sacrament.  

Grace is ready for football season!

I blew her hair dry and flat ironed it. She wanted make-up too, of course! 

Lip gloss and eye shadow

There are no words... This is a girly girl!

Poor baby Erin caught a bug within days of being back in day care. :( Thankfully, she is already on the mend. She goes for her 1 year well check on Thursday.

Twins and best friends

This is too precious not to share. He's only been in his new classroom for 3 days, and he already has the new prayer down pat.

What else??...I only have one in diapers! Grace is doing great, other than having an accident during nap at school. Which doesn't make sense because she manages to not have any accidents for 12 hours overnight??

I'm a mere days away from not having anyone taking occupancy in my uterus or depending on me for nourishment... for the first time since MARCH 2008!!! Sorry TMI, but this is a huge deal to me! Been either pregnant and/or breastfeeding for the past 4.5 years. Pretty crazy!

Baby Erin is turning ONE this weekend! Can't believe it. Her baptism is finally scheduled. All are welcome! It's 9/9 during the 10AM mass, and Bears/Colts football party at our house afterwards to celebrate.

I met my new 18 little ones today at "Meet the Teacher", and they start back to school Monday.

That's it for now! Will be back with cake smash photos this weekend.

I just wanted to share some pictures from a recent photoshoot I did with the kids. It was seriously like the hottest day ever, so it was somewhat quick. Even the kids were begging to go home because they were so uncomfortable. I need to take them out again this weekend to get some more. I'm trying to update frames around here.

Here are a few of my favorites. These are the unedited versions, since I'm on my phone rather than the computer. Can someone help me figure out how to get iCloud so my phone, iPad, and computer all have the same pictures?






















Grace was being silly one night before bed:




All 3 McCormick kids had their first day back to school today. Some had a smoother transition than others, but they'll be back into the routine in no time. They'll be going twice a week to Children of Promise, which is where we've been going since Jack was 3 months old. Love the teachers there! Colin and I got a start in my new classroom today while the kids were in school. Thank God for Colin, my IT specialist. He was super helpful! I feel a lot better that we got some stuff knocked out today.








We took them for a family fun day to Downtown Disney yesterday. We had lunch at T-Rex and let them play in the fountain for a bit.

I'm blogging from my iPhone, so hopefully this works. I'm way behind on blogging!! We've had all kinds of end-of-summer fun that I've neglected to document (yet).

Erin sprouted her two bottom teeth right around the time she turned 11 months. She's cutting the top middle four all at once now. It doesn't seem to effect her happy moods much though. She's taking more and more steps! She's very determined and brave. You can see on the video below that she has a giant red circle on her forehead from face planting while trying to walk.

We met friends at the NTC pool this week. I took their picture before we left. I downloaded this photo app called snapseed, and I've had fun edited pictures on my phone.






Silly kids!
