Favorite pics.

okay. so i know you're not supposed to do like 4 blogs in one day, but this is how i operate. i consider this our on-line scrapbook and not really my journal so here is yet another page into our lives.

"Snow is falling!," says Piper.

Piper is in heaven because we have 3 inches of snow on the ground and so what if it's 18 degrees outside...we WILL play and we WILL play hard. Here are some pictures from this morning. We cannot wait until both our girls can romp in the snow. Although, changing two may take even longer than the 45 minutes it took for us to get ready and to camp (which is 2 1/2 miles away from our house and we travelled by car- not foot).

The engaged...

We are so excited to welcome Chris Barton into our family! He is about to have the experience of a lifetime! Chris propsed to my middle sister, Danielle, on Decebmer 22nd in New York in front of that big Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. We are SO happy that it is him that the Lord had in mind for Danielle. Here are some photos from their recent visit to meet Lily. Anne came down for the day too!

Sisters.

Sisterhood is the best thing. I know it firsthand and now get to see it in my girls. Here are a few pictures of our sisterhood. Pictured here are 5 of the 11 (!) GIRLS born in a row from my mom's side of the family. My Grandma would be proud of her legacy...especially, the first picture. :)

Lily in action....

So we've almost made it to 4 weeks! It is a blur...but we have survived and have enjoyed it! The other night we realized, "We really love having 2 kids!" Our live feels so much more full and complete with Lily in it. And for the past 2 nights, Piper has asked to have Lily sleep in the bed with her...so sweet and I hope one day that really happens. So- enjoy these pics...

My new fav pic.....

Me and my girls....i love it!

Big sister stuff...

I promise Piper likes her....she just takes this big sister role very seruiously and no, that's not Piper giving Lily a bath. We'll wait until next week to let her do that (I hope you know we are kidding). That is Piper's baby that she loves and takes care of- that baby does everything Lily does. And the picture below I just love. That's our Piper...so free and full of life!
