Big Sisters

My two older girls have had a big week too! All of a sudden, life in our little red house is very, very different. The transition to a family of five has gone pretty well. We've tried to do some special things this week and anytime Paige is napping, we older gals cuddle up and read books or play together...or we all take well-deserved naps! On several occasions, I have had three needy girls on my lap! It isn't easy. In fact, more often than not it's just plain messy. But I wouldn't have it any other way. We're a complete and happy family right now - though the screaming and crying that goes on around here may convince you otherwise. *wink*wink*

Making a mess....I mean, making Christmas cookies!

And eating them is just as messy...

Mmmmmm......
I "caught" my girls reading to each other for entertainment while I was busy with new baby. These two have found they have much more in common now that they are both big sisters.
Things don't always look this peaceful in our household, but life is very sweet right now. We're just praising God for our three precious, precocious little girls.

    YAY! Thank you so much for pictures! It is busy with 3 little ones and that business makes the time fly. I so appreciate the glimpses of the girls. Paige is stinking adorable. I went to a shower yesterday and there was a 12 day old baby girl and I couldn't help but pine away for our little one. It's busy and sometimes hard but you are absolutely right, It is such a blessing! God is good.

Maddie's Big Day!

Image
I'm just gushing over here.  My second-born took a big step today and made a decision for Christ!  We were having a talk in the car on the way to the store about heaven and next thing I know she's over there quietly folding her hands and whispering a prayer to Jesus. When she was done, she looked over at me with a big smile and said, "I have so many blessings from God, Mommy!" Indeed. Happy Born Again Day, Madison Elizabeth!  We love you so much.

If you can't beat 'em....

Brooklyn can't seem to resist writing on the walls. I finally decided to put an end to the battle.... Now she has her own special place in her bedroom to be as creative as she wants (within reason). This can be painted over and it gives her some boundaries while still allowing her to be "creative." I'm not sure she'll have any interest in writing on the wall now that it isn't against the rules but I sure had fun painting on the wall. I'm tempted to paint myself a square to doodle and scribble on.

About Last Weekend

Image
  Let me just say, everybody is fine.  But that picture up there, in Brooklyn's sweet note to her Daddy, pretty much sums up our weekend.  Blood.  Lots of it.  Flowing out of Sean's foot.    On Sunday afternoon Sean was using a weed-eater to try and tame our wild, jungle grass in the yard.  This weed-eater, rather than having a nice, docile nylon string was basically a little metal machete propeller.  Which, incidently, is not so safe when you accidently get your foot in its way.   Ugh.  Let me just say that seeing my husband's foot bleeding profusely was mighty disconcerting.  I worked in a dialysis unit, mind you, and regularly dealt with people's blood.  But when it is somebody you love, it just can't be helped to feel a little woozy and worried at the sight.    Praise God, it wasn't a toe and Praise God it wasn't any worse.  We were able to drop the girls off with our teammates and get him to t...
