For Grandma and Papa

Lillian received a special package in the mail today from Grandma and Papa. Thought we'd let you watch her open it. She just love's her gifts! Thank you!
p.s. Sorry for the poor picture quality. I don't know what happened? I think it was the editing software that was used?

Three

My Lily-bug had her third birthday this weekend.

I'm sorry you were sick with a fever, and stomach cramps, and chills.
All party plans had to be canceled.
You were sick on your second birthday too.
Let's make number 4 healthy.
You did get well enough to have your "pink" cake.

I love you Lily-bug!

Four months

My sweet baby Madelyn:
This month we hit some significant mile markers with you.
You laughed for the first time (insert angel choir here).
You rolled over from back to front, twice.
Your are truly an amazing baby!

Random

I know, I may be biased but I think she is just the cutest, prettiest baby ever!
(besides my other three of course!)
Is she going to have blue eyes?

Every time I look at her I can't believe I have such a beautiful, perfect baby.

Red Hair?

Lily loves having her big brother around.
He is so helpful, almost like having a nanny.
But, I think he might be a little bored.
He's been looking for a job like crazy.
Has a few prospects that might pan out.
Keep him in your prayers.

In the mean time Lily has put him to work.
And, yes that's cute baby over there in the corner, don't worry I was keeping a very close eye on her.

Front Flips and Back Flips No. 1

We had a little brake from the freezing cold weather today. So the kids spent some time improving their flips and somersaults. This won't interest anyone but family and you have to watch them in order, it's much cuter that way.

Front Flips and Back Flips No. 2

Bumbo

I bought a Bumbo seat off of Craigslist today.

Love it!
(and don't you love that cute little tootsie!)

Snow Day!

We had our first snow of the season this week.
Lily was so excited, the first thing she said to me this morning was, "let's make a snowman!"

It was wicked cold.
Maybe 16 degrees.
I honestly tried to make a snowman with her but the one inch dusting of snow
wasn't cooperating.
So we played in it for a while.

Maybe a snowman next time!
P.S. thank-you grandma and grandpa for the warm coat.

Snow Baby

Here's my sweet baby Maddie all wrapped up in her new, warm, soft, fury outfit from grandma and grandpa. It's the perfect attire for these extra cold winter days.

And, here's Lily with curly hair. I wish it would stay this way but it always droops down flat by the end of the day.
