Back to Blogging


 Before I get any further behind, I thought I'd do a little catch-up post on what's been going on with the Hillens the last couple months.
      
 We took the cousin pictures a couple of months back and they turned out pretty well...maybe someday all of the kids will look at the camera at the same time.

I love all of these kids so much and am so blessed to be their aunt! (and mommy)
We also celebrated Max's 6th birthday on August 28th. We kept the celebrations to two small family parties. While my budget and party planning stress were minimal, I think we'll go back to family and friends party next year. We love a good celebration and love to include all those we love.
Emma started playing the recorder and also joined chorus. She is loving third grade.
The birthday boy on his special day!!
We've spent our weekends with family and friends and have loved every minute of it!

Damian and I had a date night to celebrate his 36th birthday on September 14th. We love a good dinner at Texas de Brazil.
Max is having another awesome soccer season.He scored a goal!!
One day we were walking to my classroom and I realized they picked out matching outfits!
Emma and I have had a couple shopping Saturdays together lately. She's so fun to shop with these days!

I'm pretty sure we have the cutest Cub Scout around. He has his first camp out in a couple of weeks and he can hardly wait!
Emma is back to ballet and she's loving Monday nights. (Oops the picture is missing--just imagine her in her leotard!)
Last weekend our sweet nephew Matthew was baptized. It was a beautiful celebration.
We celebrated my Mamaw Jennie's 84th birthday this past week.
Look who was the first Student of the Week in her class!!

We had the best time on Sunday at Disney's Hollywood Studios. 
Love these two so much!
We are in that time in our lives where we are on the go...to ballet, soccer, cub scouts, faith formation, doing homework, and trying to keep up with everything else. We are in a great routine and still manage to sit down together at the dinner table every night.


I'm going to try to post more of our fun because goodness knows I can hardly remember what happened last year!
