I'm smitten

Abigail is a great kid, for those few who know her..I mean, really know her...well, then you know...Babies have personalities too. And I think the mother is the first to pick up on it. She's really great. That and hey, how many 6 month olds can have pigtails like that!? And thats after 2 substancial haircuts. I love Abby. Its funny how you really do fall in love with your children. Like....if and when she sleeps through the night, I actually MISSED her while I slept....and though, the nights sleep was completely devine...I missed that sweet time...just her and I. I did errrands just her and I the other day, and it was nice, I actually enjoyed her sweet little spirit...it wasn't just 'haulin' around your kid'.,...or another child you juggle as you attempt to shop. She is so incredibly happy, we love it...she is always smiling or laughing. She's been like that since birth....just happy to be a part of it all!

Paul called me into the other room...and this is what I saw. They have their papers...to sing from, and were singing together. It was quite sweet. Its really been nice to have Hailey home this last week...she really is such a cool little kid....and sweet, and helpful. When they go to school, its like they are on their best behavior, then when they come home...you get the grumpy side....kind of sad for poor ol' Mom. So, its nice to have my very sweet Hailey back. The girl who's nice to her sister and doesn't sas-talk, the girl who is always willing to help, and when asked...about 98% of the time says "okay Mom"...just happy to please her Mother and be helpful. I love that little girl so much...not because of her "okays", but her sweet spirit and the way her little personality is...the way her thought processes work...she is so wonderful. I like her....a lot. (its different than love...of course we love our children). I am blessed to have her as a daughter. I'm incredibly blessed to have all my sweet little girls.

She likes it!!

Emma loves corn on the cob....a lot....because this was NOT a tasty crop...not at the end of December its not! Anyway, it was barely eatable really....but she didn't care.

But thats what I love about Emma...1-shes a great eater..the only one...but really, because she's her own person. Yeah, oh man is she high strung, and her temper is the size of Texas if he doesn't get her nap. But she's that classic out of the box thinker....she doesn't do things like other kids would...she TRULY marches to the beat of her OWN drum. I like that. Plus...and I didn't know if she would have one or not...she has a very very sweet side...she is indeed our most sensitive. She's the most, then Abby, then Hailey. Interesting. I love this quirky little girl!

GUITAR HERO PAUL

Daddys Bonus Gift

After we were all done with Cmas morning, and starting to clean up, etc. Paul calls me into the other room and I see this huge box and a girl on each end...attempting to walk with it. This is what it was. Paul and I jammed together most of the afternoon. It was fun. Thank you for having a trick up your sleeve Paul......I love you for that.
