Merry Christmas!

Life is so full it keeps us busy. My goal is next year to write just once a month on here (more if i am able) to keep everyone up-to-date on our life. Please come back after New Year's to hear how we spent our holidays! Until then ...

"We wish you a merry Christmas!
We wish you a merry Christmas!
We wish you a merry Christmas!
and a happy New Year's!"

May God bless you and your family during this Christmas season. We hope you find yourselves
surround by your friends and family. Thank you for being apart of our lives! We are blessed because of it.


Merry Christmas and God Bless,

the wick family

lucky, natalie, lillian (5), arwen grace (3.5), and emerson (1)

Where did we go ...

Sorry for the absence here. Lucky was having some major back pain and had to have some minor surgery done. I kind of quit all that wasn't necessary out of my life at the time, but we are back to "normal." Lucky is doing great with the back pain 90% better and still healing. So we are incredibly thankful for that.

So what else has been going on? I really don't know!!! It is such a day to day thing, that nothing seems exciting enough to post in a recap. :) The kids and I are keeping busy hanging with friends and traveling to places near and far.

We went to the beach for a weekend with a good friend of mine and her little girl that is Lillian's age. I got only a few pictures from that since my camera's battery died the first day. Typical.

Also we went the zoo with my cousin and her little boy who is just a few weeks older than Emerson. We all had such a good time. That time we got LOTS of good pictures. To see them ... don't forget to check out our Picasa Web Album.

Well, hopefully we are back and ready to keep you fully updated. So keep coming back for new updates. Have a blessed day!

and more ...

Happy Easter!!!

Here we are at Marbles (a museum in downtown Raleigh) having lots of fun ... can you tell?

fun times at home

we couldn't wait to go to the DC Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa. we love to see the pandas and the tigers!!! we don't have those in our zoo. :(

the warm weather is moving in and we get to play outside more often now.

now and then

so i just looked on here to see when the last update was ... and i am SHOCKED!!! i haven't updated our family one since November?!?!?! where are the Christmas pictures, the snow pictures, the pictures from Valentine's Day, Easter? i am so sorry! all i can say is that being a mother to 3 is a lot harder than i imagined. and having them all under 5 is a full time job with overtime and no breaks!!!

so to make up for all the lost time here are some pictures of now and then ...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
well, this was a Christmas gift i did ... so this is kind of what we looked like around Christmas (sorry no "offical" picture of the 5 of us then)

here is us at the park on day ... we love parks!!!

and here we are at another park, where we had a picnic there and then just walked around and enjoyed the day and each other ... very hallmark of us :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!

and here is when Mommie was so brave and took us to the NC Zoo all by herself! we had a wonderful time and were all very tired when we were done.
