One Month Old!


It's hard to believe that Paige is already a month old! This baby is growing faster than I remember the other two growing. She's getting chubby and is slowly becoming more aware of her surroundings. If we're lucky, she'll even grace us with a whisper of a smile. It's probably just gas...but still. She's just oh-so-sweet.

We adore our baby around here. Brooklyn and Maddie are two doting big sisters and it's become a constant job for me just to get them to give Baby Paige some space :-) But then Mommy and Daddy can't resist that soft skin, downy hair, or those kissable cheeks either.

Our nighttime routine is getting better. I do get sleep, though it isn't usually when I want to or for as long as I'd like. However, I treasure those quiet moments with my youngest in the middle of the night, knowing that before long she'll be one of those teenagers who does nothing but sleep!

We love our Paige Abigail. She's such a part of our family - it's just impossible to imagine that a little over a month ago she wasn't here yet!

    This is my favorite post of all time! I love the pictures and the ones of you and Sean are priceless. We are 31 weeks and closing in on our little girl :) I can't wait to share pics of her too. Paige is beautiful and I wouldn't mind kisses one of those cheeks myself :)

    She's adorable!!! I didn't even know! Or, maybe I did. My brain isn't very cooperative. And I must say that I'm a little partial to Abigail. It's Cora and I's middle name too :o). We can't wait to see you guys, whenever that may be, hopefully soon! Love you all!

    They are all 3 just precious! We are so happy for you guys, and I must say we're a little partial to all the girls...we love them! Congratulations on a beautiful family. We are happy for you and pray things continue to go well during your transition.

    BTW, those pics. look just like Matt and me...must be some reason :-)

    Blessings,
    April and family

School Daze

So grown up. You can see the school bus picture that she drew and taped on the front door a few days ago. She could not wait to get on that bus! The moment she'd been waiting for! Such a big bus. Such a small kid. Well, she's done it. She's started kindergarten. Yesterday was Brooklyn's first day of school. You never saw a kid so excited. It broke our hearts to see her get on that bus like such a big girl. We have now entered a new era and some uncharted waters! Madison was asleep when Brooklyn left and it took her a while to figure out that Brooklyn really was gone. Poor kid! She was hopelessly lost without her sister around...actually, we all were! It was a very strange day. Madison, when she realized that Brooklyn was gone said, "Mommy, I'm sick!" That's how heartbroken Maddie was! I felt weird all day too.... We did survive the day, though. Maddie and I are still figuring out what our days will look like without Brooklyn here at home.

Laugh with me #1

So earlier I mentioned a few catastrophes that happened in our time at the hotel on Brooklyn's birthday. Well, the week got hectic, our homeschool stuff arrived, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera (quick, what movie is that from? It's one of my favorites) and well, I'm only just now getting around to telling you all about it. Here's the first... Paige has a thing about locking doors...see Exhibit A and Exhibit B . Really, she has a thing about locking doors and then freaking out and not being able to unlock them herself again and she will not be coerced into trying the lock again. She just sits in there saying, "I tan't! I tan't!" while her parents cajole, coerce, bribe, and threaten from the other side of the door. This is a very unfortunate habit to have in Indonesia where there are so many doors, so many locks, and so many doors that lock but have no child safety features built in for parents of children addicted to locking themselves into rooms.

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 the local hospital for stitches.  Everything went so smoothly
