Joshua at one month

I took some pictures of Josh when he was one month. I love pictures of baby hands. They are so cute and tiny. They do grow so fast I can't believe my first baby is already seven. I'm trying to enjoy my babies while they are little. I love them so much and they grow so quickly!

One day at a time

I know it's been a while since I've posted anything new life's been really busy taking care of a new baby and sick kids and a sick husband. I'm trying to get over it myself now. Today I have no voice and every time I attempt to discipline them they give me the strangest look. They almost turn their head just a tad, like a dog does when hearing a strange noise, like I think Mom would be yelling at me now if she had a voice to yell with. Anyways as I rest my voice enjoy these pictures of the past few weeks.


I did have a fun time straightening Emily's hair for the first time. She looked so different to me and it was so nice to be able to run a brush through it! It is so long! It didn't last long in the morning it was ringlets as usual.




As soon as Avery was better I let her hold Josh again. It was so nice to have her healthy again so she could hold him and I could get a few things done. The kids love to hold him and constantly ask me, "Mom can I hold Josh?" It's nice but I can completely trust that Avery will not move from her spot even if she breaks out in a sweat after 20 minutes. It gets really hot after holding him for 15 minutes. She's my great little helper and loves her baby brother.


Sorry, I'm not sure how to turn the picture.

I know Valentine's Day is over but I had fun with the girls hair to celebrate it. Of course I got my ideas from those great hairdo blogs that I love so much. I didn't really get a picture of Avery's but it was the same concept of Emily's just having one big heart instead of Emily's two. In the above picture you can kind of make out the top of the heart braids.
