Priceless

Today I was feeding Emmy mangoes for the first time. I had the spoon in hand, then thought, "This is going to be good." So I grabbed the camera before feeding her and I'm so glad I did! I'm in love with this picture!!
And now for an update. We had a fabulous Christmas vacation. We spent a lot of time with family, as all of my family was in town for Christmas, and Adam's mom and brother were over from Denmark staying in Pleasant Grove. We figured that between Adam's last final on December 18 and his first day of school January 4, we ate dinner at home 3 times. It was wonderful! We were ready to get back to a normal schedule though, as poor Mini and Emmy put up with going to bed at 11:30+ way too many times. Here are some pictures:
Christmas Eve with my family--the grand kids acting out the nativity


the triplets (Mini and her cousins Katie and Lucy--they're all within 6 weeks of each other) getting their treasure chests with princess dresses inside



Christmas morning at our house

Emmy with Aunt Anna who came from Arizona (we miss you Annie!)

at the Dinosaur Museum with Adam's mom and brother

instead of doing sibling gifts, my family bought materials for hygiene kits to donate, then had a party to assemble them

Maybe it's time to upgrade from the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner from the $1 store I buy for her!

CUTE pictures, Moey! It was SO fun to spend time with you guys. We really miss you. I love Emmy's face--perfect timing! That will make great blackmail in about 13 years . . .

I think that's such an adorable picture, Martha (of Emmy). Sorry I forgot about Mini's birthday. I always remember until the day of the event. Happy birthday to Mini!

I love that first picture. So cute! And what a great idea to do service instead of give gifts!!

When in the course of human biological events it becomes necessary for one person to dissolve the umbilical bands which have connected her with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle her, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that I, the father, should declare the statistics and condition of such individuals so separated....... so here is my post: Sunday morning: 0330: Martha, who has been contracting, wakes Adam. 0330: Adam, who is happy to hear that contractions are coming, is nevertheless content to lie in bed for a little longer. 0330-0350: Adam and Martha time contractions at 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 minutes apart. 0400: Contractions increasing in strength. 0410: Joe arrives to watch Marian. 0415: Martha is not enjoying contractions which are strong and consistent by now. 0416: Joe's expression shows that he's never seen a woman in labor. 0420: Adam and Martha leav...

Hello world!

Look at me, doing a blog post and joining Facebook in the same week! I guess it's time for an update since it's only been four months. I'll start with Liv. I can't believe she's already 4+ months old! She is doing great! I feel so blessed that she is so healthy and developing perfectly so far. In the last week she has started rolling over (multiple times so she ends up far away from where I put her) and grabbing things. She has also decided she doesn't like nursing from mommy. :( We'll see how long I can stand pumping... Usually she is a happy little person, but in the last two weeks she has screamed for an hour+ straight while being babysat (sorry Ang and Anne-Marie!). What a stinker! I told Adam she could write a book called, "How to Lose Friends and Frustrate People." At least she's good for me. Here are some recent pictures. She gets lots of attention from her adoring older sisters. Sometimes she's painfully aware that being the thir...

And we're having...

another GIRL!!! We are really excited. She was so cute on the ultrasound--my favorite part was her little foot (measuring 3.5 cm right now). She wasn't doing flips and cartwheels like Mini was on her ultrasound so maybe she'll be a little mellower, more like Emmy. Most importantly, she looks healthy and her growth is right on. The only disappointment is that they didn't move my due date up at all. I was hoping to be moved up a week--away from Halloween. That's OK. The tech said she's actually measuring for November 1 so maybe I'll try to hold out for November 2 or 3. Seeing her made me so excited to get to meet her! As much as I don't love being pregnant, I'm so excited to have another little bundle to hold!
