I am slowly catching up on the last two months. So here is a whirlwind of the rest of our December...
Minutes old
First picture with Mom and Dad
First bath
They put her in a stocking and gave it to us to keep.
First time meeting the siblings
tiny feet
Going home
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
Our pet deer that like to hang out in the backyard, we have seen up to seven at a time.
Dad's birthday
Matchy homemade Christmas pajamas
Clearly A is super into it.
Christmas day. Low key and perfect. We had all our sweet babies home!
Since Christmas day was basically the only day we could manage to get all of our family in town, we decided to bless baby A at home that day. It was very sweet and made the day that much more special.
Our family of 6.
Miss A, the supermodel.
This dress was handmade by my grandma for my mom to be blessed in. In turn my sister and I, and Miss H were blessed in it.
Here's Miss H (nearly) home from the hospital. Cut us a break, she is our fourth and was born at Christmas time! :-)
And I included this last photo because I just think it encapsulates this whole period of time so perfectly. E was so exhausted and sick one day that he fell asleep on the landing in the middle of our stairs. We are busy but happy and wouldn't have it any other way.
I am so grateful for the gift that each of my children has been. I am constantly amazed at how beautiful each of their spirits are and how much they add to our home. They test me and stretch me in ways that I never thought possible and I can honestly say that I didn't know how or have the to capacity to love that being a mother has helped me to develop. I am so grateful for the opportunity to know and love each of them.
