I have so many little matters to tell you of, that I cannot wait any longer before I begin to put them down.

I had never dyed eggs with the kids before. I know, I’m a horrible mom in the arts and crafts department. But with three extra sets of hands around this week, I figured it was a good year to start! We did the basic crayons-and-food-coloring kind, and the kids got a huge kick out of […]
I tried to take some newborn pictures of Janie today using tips from books I’ve gotten from the library and several photography blogs, but I just managed to have 300 overexposed (?) pictures. Instead of showing you those, which frustrated me to tears, here are the kids, posing on their own!
It’s taking me a while to get caught up, but here are the three girls yesterday afternoon, just as we got home (about 27 hours old). And here are a couple pictures from today, just around the 48 hour mark. It was nice to come home, but she ate right before we left the hospital […]

I was sortof too distracted to do a major update earlier today, but here are a few quick developments for our 23 month old. She is talking more and more, and she enjoys repeating phrases and sentences over and over. She loves to sing–in the car, during family worship, at play, while I’m trying to […]
It’s that time again…time to gloat that our cloth diaper investment is paying off even more with the prospect of a fourth child in diapers! Derek casually asked me this weekend if we had everything we needed for the baby, and I replied that I’d picked up a couple little packs of disposables for until […]

Susanna’s move to a big girl bed has been rocky, to say the least. She stayed up until 10 several nights in there, and when she woke everyone up at 5:15, we gave up and threw her back in her crib. Now we’re letting her stay up with the big kids and start the night […]

One of Susie’s current obsessions is pockets. She is happiest when wearing multiple articles of clothing with pockets, but since it’s currently 81 degrees, we’re not wearing pants or hoodies. So I revisited the Sweet Little Dress pattern and used one of my too-short maternity shirts to whip up a quick little dress with pockets. […]
Susie had a better night last night, falling asleep at 9 pm rather than 11. It was still party central in there for an hour or so…so we have a way to go. Her first words in the morning were “big girl bed!” And I had my 39 week check-up today. 1-2 cm, 60-70% effaced. […]

These were the bribe if Susie spent the whole night in her big girl bed. And technically, she did. She didn’t ask to go back to her crib once. Derek and I traded off sitting outside the kids’ room for three and a half hours while she settled in. I’d managed to get a matching […]

Between the lounge suit and the sunglasses, Q is feeling pretty cool.
