Sweet Girls

We are so blessed!!

2 Months!!!

Can you believe I am 2 months old already?? My mom can't!! I am growing soooo fast, getting more and more alert, and cooing and smiling a ton. I found my hand this past week and I love it. It taste so good, and I keep myself really busy making sure it is still there. I can't believe I am going to get to keep it. My sisters are still really in love with me and fuss about who held me the longest. They still want to help out as much as possible. They are great big sisters. They are asking to change my diapers, but mama won't let them. She said she is afraid they will leave some poopie on my butt!! I get so excited when they talk to me. They make me smile alot! We are going to have so much fun as I get bigger and bigger.

Well....... there is your update. Hope you are all doing well and can get your hands on me soon. I would love to coo at you. Love you all. Sara Beth

Halloween 2010

Here is a sweet picture of my 3 girls!! Leah was a cowgirl, Emma a bumblebee and Sara Beth wore a cute little pumpkin tutu outfit. They all looked so sweet. We went to a carnival Sunday afternoon, and then over to a friends house and trick or treated in their neighborhood. The girls had a great time and were worn out by the time we got home and in the bed. Hope you all had a fun weekend. On a side note, I can't believe Sara Beth is already 7 weeks old. It seems like yesterday that I was counting down the weeks until she was born. It has been crazy around here trying to keep the girls in their activities while getting into a routine with Sara Beth. We are slowly getting there. Some days I feel like I have done nothing but feed, change and hold my sweet baby. The house is a mess, but I am doing what is important. I can see her growing before my eyes. I am going to enjoy this time while I can.

One Month Old!!

Wow!! I can't believe Sara Beth is already 1 month old. In some ways it seems like she has been with us forever. Then in other ways it seems like she was just born last week!! She is changing so fast. I thought I would post a picture of her today, on her 1 month birthday!! She is smiling and cooing a little. She smiled just as I was taking this picture. The girls are really enjoying her. They love to hold her, feed her, read to her, push her in the stroller, help change her clothes, anything that we will let them do, they want to do it. They are great big sisters. Sara Beth has been a good baby. She usually only cries if she is hungry or sleepy. She is sleeping great at night. I hope it continues. She has been such a blessing to our family.

Sara Beth

She made her arrival on September 11th at 9:27 am. She weighed a whopping 9 lbs and was 22 inches long. I am still not sure how she fit in my belly! We are all doing well. We have had lots of company and now we are trying to get back to the real world. Hopefully I can post some more pictures soon. Hope everyone is doing well.

Deal of the Year!!

Do you see anything missing from this picture(besides a brush to the hair)?? First thing this morning, Emma lost her first tooth!! She will be 9 years old this month and hasn't lost one tooth on her own. That is why this is the deal of the year. We have paid good money to loose all of the other teeth (8 of them), with a lot of help from the dentist. Todd told her yesterday that if she lost that tooth on her own, the tooth fairy would be really good to her. She has really been working at it the last week or so. I still can't believe it. I know this sounds silly to most of you, but the child's teeth just don't loosen up!! She looks so different with that HUGE gap in the front. I am sure in a week or so that the new tooth will be through. They move down so fast!! Yay Emma!! Let's loose some more on our own. It was nice for the checkbook!!!

Kindergarten!!

The day if finally here!! Leah was so excited she couldn't wait to get up this morning and get ready for school. Yesterday we were talking and I told her I was really going to miss her being around during the day with me. She said, I am going to miss you too Mama. Then she said, you know what mama, I am still going to love you!! Oh, she is the sweetest thing. Don't get me wrong she is a feisty one, but so sweet at the same time. I assured her that I was still going to love her, but that I would miss hanging out with her during the day. When Todd and I dropped her off this morning, she didn't pay us to much attention. She was ready to get her stuff unpacked, and she was ready to do her morning work!! I did very well, no tears at all. I think because I am already use to her going to preschool for a few mornings a week, so today I was just dropping of at a new place, a place that I am very familiar with!! When I dropped Emma off for Kindergarten, I knew no one. Very scary for me! Emma was very sweet, she was so excited for Leah. This morning when the alarm clock went off, she jumped out of her bed and into Leah's and said Leah today is your first day of Kindergarten. So sweet!! Last night we realized we were out of paper towels, so I didn't have one to put in their lunch boxes. Emma assured Leah that she could go up to the line and get a napkin. That is just wasn't a big deal. Then when Leah got dressed for school this morning, Emma told Leah to put her arms down by her side and lets make sure your shorts are long enough (like I am going to send my child to school with short shorts)!!! It is just to funny listening to Emma make sure Leah is doing the right thing. She doesn't want her to start off on the wrong foot!! I think Leah is going to have a great day and I can't wait to pick her up this afternoon and hear all about it. She is going to learn so much this year, and I just pray that she can be a good example to others, and meet lots of friends, and just enjoy her Kindergarten year!! We love you Leah, and can't wait to journey down this new road with you!!
