Littlest One

I could just eat this little one with a spoon! 

She's my little buddy.  I feel like we are connected at the hip sometimes. 

She continues to be such a joy and such a sweet baby. 

Laid back almost doesn't do her justice. 

I whisper in her ear all the time that she's the best one we have (for now). 

Her sisters are giving us a run for our money - but I know it won't be long before she joins in on their antics. 

For now, I'm just going to soak up her almost four month old easyness!

Staller

This little girl has become a master staller at bed time.  She'll pull out all the stops!  Her latest thing is to ask about a million questions when I'm trying to leave the room and turn out the lights.  The other night she was just peppering me with questions and I couldn't get a word in edge-wise.  Finally I was able to tell her that she could ask me one more question and that was it and we were going to bed.  I told her that she better make it good.  She must have sat there thinking for about a minute, coming up with one last question that she just had to ask before she closed her sweet eyes to go to sleep.  She looks over at the lamp on her bedside table and says "Uh, where did y'all get that lamp?".  STALLER!

Maddie Goes to School

My sweet Maddie girls started school this week. Just look how big and proud she is with that bag!

She has been wanting to go to school like "Sissy" for awhile now.  I took her with me one day to drop off HC and she cried when she realized she wasn't getting to stay!  Our problem was HC's school didn't offer a 3 day program for Maddie's age and we didn't want them going on totally different days.  So, we found Maddie a new school.  It's not ideal going to two different places, but hopefully we'll just do this for one year.  Maddie's school is so sweet and I've been really impressed with the staff and how kind they have been to my baby girl.

She's our spit-fire and I'll be honest and say that I was a little worried about how she would do. So far we've gotten nothing but glowing reports from her teacher!

On her first day she walked right in and never even looked back.  I couldn't believe it.  So proud of my girl! 

The Halloween that kept on giving....

I thought Halloween might never end at our house!  We went to a total of four different Halloween functions over a span of three days.  We definitely got our money out of these costumes!! 

Hannah Cate continued to ask where our costumes were, so maybe next year I can pull off a family theme of some kind.  Don't hold me to it!

On a side and slightly un-related note - I would like to talk to the person that came up with the idea of telling children to say "cheese" when taking a picture.  It's so, so bad!  Maybe it's just my children, but the end result is not good, not good at all!  I've got to figure out a way to wipe it from their memories!
