Glad To Be

. . . her Mother.

She's got me wrapped around her little finger, and she knows it! I just wish I could catch a few zzzzzzz's when she does (23 hours a day) . . . but with three other kiddos to love that just doesn't happen.




. . . and this is some of what I did on Mother's Day:


{this chair was purchased mostly for DH as a "Sunday Nap Chair." I love to snuggle with the kids in it- and I would say I use it more than the Papa Bear. Perhaps it is "too soft" for his liking? Anyhow, it is great for a Sunday Snooze, because it is in our sunniest room in the house, and it reclines really far back so you can actually get some rest in it. Baby C. seems to like it too.}

I hope all of you Mothers and Mothers-to-be enjoyed a beautiful, sunny, snuggly Mother's Day on Sunday. I am so thankful for my own Mom and Mother-in-law who made me feel extra loved on Sunday too.

Be Still My Heart

A huge heartfelt THANK YOU for all of the wonderful comments, phone calls, visits, surprise packages in the mail, yummy meals, play-dates for the older kiddos, carpools, lovely gifts, sweet and tiny outfits for sweet and tiny newborns, childcare, movies on loan, grocery trips, and love. We couldn't have done it with out your help.

More pictures to come. We introduced baby C to the studio yesterday- just a simple, quiet outing with M and C while the big girls were at school. C was amazing to photograph and was such a good sport. We're off to a good start. I have plenty of photos from the first (almost) 2 weeks that I hope to share when I have a minute.
