Update

Hello everyone. I know it's been a while since I've updated the blog. I don't really have a good excuse so I won't even go there. It's not like I'm busier having three kids. In fact Samara is such a good help. She always wants to give me a hand with the housework and lighten my load.

She loves to clean up the pots and pans cupboard:



She helps with the laundry:



She empties the dishwasher:



And even finds time to play with her letters:

She's doing really well and advancing every day. She's taking 5 - 6 steps at a time now without holding onto anything and she's pretty proud of herself too. Of course she has two older siblings cheering her on and making her feel pretty special when she walks. I haven't been able to get a good picture of it yet but I'm trying.

Victoria is all of a sudden reading and she can read pretty much anything. We often wonder what Victoria and Austin are up to when it's really quiet but when we go investigate we find them sitting quietly with Victoria reading a book to Austin. What a great arrangement - it works for both of them.


So things are going well in the Carmody household. We're enjoying the warmer weather and Samara loves to be outside too. I'll try to post more pictures over the next few days.

Isn't that what they call "child labour?" I'm sure that makes your days a lot less busy with such a good helper! When are you coming over!? Take advantage of it while you can cause it won't last! LOL
Good thing Victoria keeps Austin busy so they don't get in the way of the "worker!" Gramz
