Introducing....



She's here!

Paige Abigail was born at 1:51 p.m. Sunday, December 14. She weighed 8 lbs 9.5 oz. and was 20 3/4 inches long. Her entrance into the world went very well and we couldn't be more pleased.

We got to bring Paige home Monday morning. Since then, we've been taking it easy and getting to know one another. Brooklyn loves her new baby sister and would stare at her all day if we'd let her! Maddie is warming up to the idea of this strange little person taking over the household and she really loves to give the baby kisses. Both of our older girls are being great helpers and they can't wait until Paige is old enough to play with them :-)

It's hard to believe we are now a family of five! We feel like such blessed parents with our three beautiful girls. Aaaahhhh....these are wonderful days full of precious baby mewlings, new baby smells, tender kisses on brand-new cheeks, and...sleepless nights! Gratefully, the house still feels restful today and I am high enough on pure love that I don't feel nearly as exhausted as I should. The view out of our window is goregous - fresh snow, grand Rocky Mountains, bright sunshine. Paige is napping peacefully. Brooklyn and Maddie are playing together and I'm listening to Christmas music while I unpack our hospital stuff. Not a bad day at all. I'm feeling very blessed....

    I know you're busy enjoying your new little bundle and settling in to a new normal but those of us who feel like forever away would really love an update. She's absolutely beautiful and I would greatly appreciate you planting a big sweet kiss on her neck for me. Make sure you inhale deeply as you do in order to completely absorb all that is wonderful about infants. We love you all.

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

  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...
