Twirls 'n Curls

There's nothing better than having a new baby for a special day, and Father's Day was no exception! Grandma Jean made matching dresses for the girls, and the older girls made cards to tell Daddy how special he is. He even got steak for breakfast! All in all, a great day!

The ladies at my church threw us a shower when the men were gone on their retreat. We had a great time, and the girls loved opening the presents! They didn't even seem to mind that the presents weren't for them :) Actually, they liked the giant trampoline best of all!

It's been awhile since I posted, between computer blips and third trimester blahs, so I thought I'd start with some cute Easter pictures. You would not BELIEVE how hard it is to get both girls looking at the camera smiling at once! I'm not thinking three girls will be much easier...thank goodness for digital photos - you can snap a million!

This one keeps me on my toes! Very helpful, very sincere, very sensitive...very, very active!! As long as I give her something constructive to do, there's no trouble. It's when I need to get something done and giver her a little space that the adventures begin! So Hannah has become my shadow in recent days...wherever I go, she goes; whatever I do, she does! The arrangement slows me down a bit but gives me much less to clean up :) Small consolation - We ran a lot of places last month, so we had sitters for the girls a few times. Within a week's time, I had two different families from church tell me - "She's great, but she's never still! She even paced while she was playing with toys. I don't know how you keep up with her!" That made me feel a little better, but also a little curious about how I'm going to get anything done once I have three of these beautiful girls!!

Princess Cake - I had some help with this one! Birthday girl on the runway Four year olds trying to curtsy All of the birthday guests playing musical cushions Here are a few highlights from Linsey's birthday party a couple of weeks ago - we had a great time doing the girls' hair, makeup, nails, and dressing them up. It was a hit!

The girls received oodles of dress up clothes for Christmas, and they are both enjoying them! Hannah doesn't quite get what the big deal is, but she loves to do anything her sister does.

The week before Christmas, we got about 5 inches of snow that stayed for three days! The roads were a mess, school was canceled, doctors were closed - it was more snow than our area has had for about 35 years! The girls enjoyed playing in it, and we took plenty of pictures so they'll remember their almost white Christmas.
