Blessings!

The girls and I went on our first road trip this past weekend. I am truly blessed! The girls were really wonderful both ways and I was so thankful. Leah hardly cried at all and Michelle was such a great help! Whenever Leah would cry, Michelle was ready with the pacifier! Even without naps, Michelle and Carolyn were very well behaved! God was really looking out for me. We had such a wonderful weekend too. I hosted a baby shower for my best friend who is having her first baby in November and then my mom and I took the girls to the pumpkin patch before we came back home. It was funny because all of us could not get in a picture together, much less all look at the camera! Too back I don't have photoshop! I could get a great picture that way!!!!
The ride home was great as well. We had a little trouble once we got within an hour of home but I am so thankful that Mommy stayed sane! I am relieved that we will not be having another road trip until mid November. I want to rest up between now and then!!!

And then there were 3!

We've done it! Gone from 2 to 3 girls! Leah is one month old on Thursday! Things have really changed. Whoever said that going from two to three was simple obviously had at least a dozen kids!
We have been so blessed though! Michelle and Carolyn absolutely adore their little sister. She is a real live baby doll for them! Michelle kisses on Leah constantly and is always ready to give her a pacifier if she makes even the slightest inkling of crying. Carolyn wants to pinch her, she thinks she's so cute. Of course, she probably has when I'm not looking too! It has definitely been a beautiful thing to see the bond that they have already created in just a few weeks. I don't have sisters and I see how special that bond is. I will get to watch something that I never experienced myself and I am really looking forward to it.
Brian and I wondered God's choosing for us, why we were to be given three girls but every day I see their hearts and the love that they have and I know that we are right where He wants us. I know that we will have lots of drama as only girls can have, but I know that God will be right here with us, knowing that He has given us the tools to make it through anything!!
