swimmin' and smilin'

I have been meaning to post something all week, but it's just been one of those weeks. We have been learning how to be somewhere on time with 3 kids. A little challenging. Thank goodness it was only to swimming lessons - flip flops and ponytails are about the only requirements. Here's a few pictures to show the proof. And of course a cute one of little brother sleeping so soundly even the occasional splash of water doesn't bother him. Let's hope he stays this good natured!







ok, something more serious... I have found this amazing blog, from my friend savannah's website. The blog is called bring the rain, and I have the link posted. What a sad, sad story, but an amazing testimony of God's love. I shed a lot of tears while reading her story, but I was also so blessed! Her words have inspired me to dig deeper into God's word and to make it more real in my everyday life. Check it out if you have time!

Huge accomplishment of the week was our family photography session. Quite the challenge to get everyone there and ready, but wow - love the results! She got some really cute newborn pics of Nathan and the girls. We can't wait to see all of them, but you can check out a preview at http://www.rayelawphotography.com/blog/.

Start of something new

Well, after 1 week home with a newborn and 2 chatty girls, I have decided to give this blogging thing a try. It seems several of my friends do it and after reading their blogs for the past 3 days, I decided why not me? Although I am not sure what I could write that would possibly be of any interest to anyone else. Who would care that I was so thrilled that Nathan slept for 4 hours straight 2 times last night? Or that it is 1:00 and I am still in my pajamas while the girls are watching Alice in Wonderland? (It is of literary nature - maybe it will inspire them to read the book!) Life is very different from 2 weeks ago! My day now revolves around feedings - feeding the newborn every 3 hours, feeding the girls, breakfast, lunch, snacks, and of course feeding the whole family for dinner. It seems all I do is produce food for others' consumption. But that's what moms are, right? Nuturers, feeders? One day it will only be me and Marty and I won't even feel it is worth my effort to cook. So for today I will put my blogging away and look for a new recipe online for something interesting with chicken and broccoli. On the agenda for tomorrow - a trip with 3 kids to the mall to buy dad a new shirt! Nathan's first stroller outing!
