Simply Shaw: October 2013
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Tuesday, October 15, 2013. Almost but not Quite Done. I'm 35.5 weeks pregnant. Being this close to the end, I'm starting to get hopeful and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm also experiencing the not-so-little things that make the last few weeks crazy and almost unbearable. It takes me twice as long to put on my socks and shoes. I'm not even talking about shoes with laces. Just easy slip-ons. Brushing my teeth still makes me gag. Trying to get comf...

Simply Shaw: January 2014
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Sunday, January 5, 2014. Christmas morning came earlier than I remember last year. It could be that I have a newborn who was up two times before 7am. The kids were very excited and couldn't wait to go downstairs. We made an unofficial rule that the kids come to our room and we say family prayer before going down to see all the Christmas surprises. I always love to see their sweet faces light up with excitement! Santa brought Taters his very own Legos. My sis...

Simply Shaw: Taters Turns 4
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2014/05/taters-turns-4.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Tuesday, May 13, 2014. 4 years ago on Mother's day I went into labor with our Tate-man. He was 4 days overdue and finally decided to make his entrance into the world. It was the best Mother's Day gift I ever received! For his birthday this year, he asked for a 'Frozen' cake with just the "Frozen boys because I'm a boy, mom". Do you have any idea how hard it is to find 'Frozen' characters let alone just the boy characters? He's so happy to "start" his birthday.

Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Monday, May 26, 2014. Photos from the past months. I love my children because they are beautiful, silly, funny, maddening, loving, frustrating, wonderful and mine! I am dedicating this post to my 4 beautiful children: because of you I am blessed to be a mother. Many times I fall short and cry myself to sleep and pray that the next day will be better. But I hope you know that I am doing my best and how much you are deeply, truly loved. Always my happy baby.

Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Monday, October 27, 2014. The kids carved a family pumpkin. And we actually got them to touch the pumpkin guts this year.with gloves on! And my favorite is the picture with all the kids! Taryn was freaked out by the pumpkin and got mad when the kids laughed! Yep I'm Still Here. Soyeah. The last time I posted was in May! Our little family has been plenty busy with summer, back to school, and now Halloween! What happened to my tiny baby? Ellie is loving 2nd gr...

Simply Shaw: July 2013
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Tuesday, July 9, 2013. 9 years ago Ayden made his presence into the world. We had no clue how such a small little thing would change our lives! He has been such a wonderful part of our lives. For his birthday treat, he chose ice cream sandwiches. He's not a cake fan and always chooses something else. Last year it was pumpkin pie. Tate was ever so helpful in blowing out the candles. Ellie made sure we fit all 9 candles on the ice cream sandwiches. Being a pas...

Simply Shaw: April 2014
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. It was a great testimony builder for the kids and us too. The kids just finished Spring Break last week and had a very busy week. They went to the Zoo with friends and babysitter one day. And also went to the park and on bike rides. Ellie even had a friend party where Spencer helped paint the girls' nails! Everyone is happy and healthy. I'll do my usual update for everyone. Tate is still our crazy boy. He loves to play with the o...

Simply Shaw: November 2013
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Monday, November 11, 2013. We've been anxiously waiting for this baby to arrive, but it's being a typical Shaw child: stubborn. This baby has not wanted to come. The last few weeks have been pretty miserable. I've been dilated to 4cm for 2 weeks and having lots of "fun" contractions. but NOTHING happens! Each time I've gone to the doctor, he says "I'm so surprised you haven't had this baby yet. Everything seems ready.". Tell me about it! Ayden is our little ...

Simply Shaw: September 2013
http://simplyshawfam.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Spencer * Loni * Ayden * Ellie * Tate * Taryn. Thursday, September 26, 2013. Smoke Detectors, Showers and Tears. Which caught my attention a little more. Ayden bursts into the bathroom yelling "Mom! The smoke detectors are going off. We have to go! Then Ellie starts yelling "Ah, I'm naked! I'm so proud of them for knowing what to do in case of fire: alert an adult and get ready to leave. (thank you FHE lesson). Here's hoping tomorrow morning is less eventful! Wednesday, September 25, 2013. So Summer came...
