Dressed to the Nines

The girls were so excited Sunday morning when they were able to wear their new outfits. They had been asking for a few weeks, but it's been so chilly on Sundays lately, that we've been dressing them in warmer outfits. It's still hard for me to believe that I've had to put tights on them every Sunday this month. But hopefully I won't have to do that until the fall again. Anyway, here are a few pictures.

Emma received this outfit for Christmas from Mimi and Papa. She loved it and looked so cute and grown-up in it! That was a little hard for Marc to handle!


This is one of Lily's newer outfits. Her favorite colors are blue and green so this outfit was a hit!


Maggie looked so cute in her outfit! She liked it because she wanted to wear leggings like her sisters do. She wanted to be a big girl, too. On another note - MAGGIE'S POTTY TRAINED! I've potty trained my last child (unless we have more)! And I must say, I'm loving it!!!

These girls are the best of friends! I feel so blessed to have them as my children and as an important part of my life! Thank you, God, for my girls!!!

Library Fun

A few weeks ago we started a new tradition...going to the library once a week so Emma could pick out some new books to read. The girls have really enjoyed going. One week, they had a small sandbox down in the Children's Department. The girls loved it! We played there for almost 2 hours. Emma likes the fact that she can get some books that she's never read or heard of before. She got her very own library card and we get 10 books out at a time. She was just enrolled in the summer reading program. Her age group only has to read 20 books this summer. Their theme is bugs and Emma is in the ants group. She's excited as she will be going for story-time once a week. And then, at the end of the summer - if she's read all 20 books, she'll be able to attend their end-of-summer party. I've heard that they go all out for these kids. So, we're looking forward to it.

Puzzle time. The girls love doing puzzles.

Maggie loved their huge tub. She would grab the towels and animals and lay down in there.

They also have a little theatre in there. Maggie was getting ready to put on a show for us.


Lily loves doing puzzles. It's her most favorite thing to do.
