Georgia at 5 months.

Oh, look at that drool!  That drool is very representative of her life at this stage—drooly!  Teething maybe—but no tooth yet.  She is still just the happiest sweetest baby I’ve ever seen.  She loves to be held and cuddled.  She still has no interest in food.  She eats every 3 hours around the clock.  She never fights sleep, but does wake up several times during the night to be fed.  I don’t know if it’s her or me being a more relaxed parent the third time around, but she just is very sweet and easy, and I’m grateful!

Girlfriends.

Jillian (in the middle) threw a fun Halloween party at her house in October.  We all brought soup and fun treats to share and played great games.  I’m really hoping this is the first of many date nights with us and our husbands. 

Then later in the month we had a girls weekend getaway to Sunriver that was so, so fun and appreciated!  I brought Georgia (so she wouldn’t starve), so it wasn’t quite as relaxing for me—she was perfect, but she woke up early both mornings and I was silly and went to sleep at 2:30 the first night and about 1:00 the next night.  It was still totally worth it!  And thank you to Brian for taking on the older girls alone for the weekend!

Oh, just seeing how many children a pencil thinks we will have.  (4 girls, then 1 boy for me) Ha!

Fun party favors from Katie and Stephenie.

Delicious dinner out.

Face mask fun!

Georgia rolled over for the first time on this trip!  From her stomach to her back.  She could not have been happier or better than she was.  I don’t think she cried one time when we were there.  She was even a pretty good sleeper.  I was grateful!

A picture on the train tracks.  We got a pretty good deal on the place we stayed at, but we wonder if it was because of these train tracks that were just outside our front door.  The trains were pretty startling and woke some up in the night.

I count these girls as some of my greatest blessings!

Joy!

Pajamas and boots and messy hair makes for a pretty carefree combination!  And Hattie’s two little front teeth peeking through!

These girls are just too much!  Hattie’s face in the picture on the left is just so her.  Really, all of these sisters pictures just show their relationship so well, and I love it.

Waiting for a preschool ride.

While waiting for Elna’s preschool ride I took a few pictures of the girls together.

Then the girls wanted a chance to take some pictures.  So, Harriet took some of me and Elna.

And the Elna took some of me and Hattie.

It was such a beautiful day!  Look at that sky!

Sisters sisters.

Three girls in jammies.

That’s right, Elna—strike a pose!  Hattie’s face and Elna’s outfit have me laughing pretty hard.

Running into preschool.  Harriet loves the whole preschool routine as much as Elna does.  She loves walking Elle in and seeing her get her school shirt on and then she always gives her a big hug.  It’s all very sweet.
