and she sleeps

I love that she sleeps.  I am so very, very thankful that she does not have acid reflux waking her up. 
 I love her pudgy cheeks!

 

Katie is accessorizing her nails with gem stickers. 

I will be finding these stickers for months.  They are everywhere!

3D TV : So Fun

We watched the promo video waaaayyyy too many times.

They are just so cute dodging the sharks!

911 What's your emergency

A friend took the girls on a field trip to the local firehouse.

Lucky Katie demonstrated the hose.

Love the pink hats!

Oh the stories they have to tell.

Did you know that firemen are prepared to remove snakes from your house?!

That is truly good information.

 Em and I decided to take pictures of our babies in a basket. 

To die for.  Love that she has wakeful periods.

Colin's girls.

 Mama and baby.

So true!

Fresh Strawberry Lemonade

 Making strawberry lemonade, Katie style.  Extra sugar and strawberries.  Delicious.

 Rocking her summer glasses and paper crown.

Finally I captured a half smile.  Lauren smiles frequently but they come and go so quickly, it's hard to get a picture!

Loving our girls!

We have spent the past week and a half meeting a new dynamic girl.  Our world is stretching and morphing as we love our Lauren.  We envision the future of three sisters.  Sisters that will go through life even after parents are gone.  We are so excited about our magical, beautiful girls.

 Hello there. "Baby for Sale"

Proud daddy.

The girls have loved building and rebuilding their fairy garden.  Thanks Susana and Angelo!

They collect little nature bits on their walks and add to the garden as they see fit.  I must insist no living additions.  No more snails and pills bugs inside the house!!!

Our first week together.

 Tons of giggles.

 Tons of inspecting toes

 Tons of gazing into new eyes.

Tons of photos.  This is one strong girl.

Emily's spring school photo.

Growing irises.  Love these flowers.

Welcome to the family Puppy Bentley. 

Baby Photos!

 I love looking at every inch of her, cherishing every wrinkle. Too soon it will be gone.

 All three girls had bruises around their eyes.  Katie and Lauren's were the worse. Swollen brows and noses too.  Birth is hard on everyone involved.

 I love how much this man loves his babies.

 This is my definition of beauty.

 Colin's four loves.  Life could not be any sweeter than this.

Nothing beats that new baby smell

 Welcome to the family Lauren!

 These girls are triplets born in different years. 

 

Emily told me her heart will burst because of all the love she has for Lauren.  I think today was the best day of my life. 

Just another day...

I love how the girls help anyway they can.

Katie hopped into the trunk to hand food to daddy after a Costco run.

UGH!

I get a lot of comments about how lucky I am Colin likes to cook.

And I do appreciate his cooking.

But I don't always appreciate his testing new recipes.

This was a chocolate butter something or other.

A huge mess!

The worse part is that he is so proud of his messes.

All was well after he cleaned up. So I won't complain too much.
