busy busy busy!








Geesh! It’s been really crazy around here, no time for blogging lately. I wanted to get a few of the pics up that we took of the kids after the baby dedication service at our church a week and a half ago. It was a very sweet service, many families standing up and promising to raise their children in the love and knowledge of Jesus. Surprisingly we didn’t have the biggest brood up there, there was a family with infant triplets! Our three were very well behaved during the first service and well, things went downhill from there. But we endured, and went on to have a lovely day with my mom and niece who drove down for the service. They all wore their little outfits from China, I felt like it was a perfect expression of their heritage on such a special day.
I love the way these pics came out. I had to include the one of the frownie face on Sophie. This girl has some crazy mean expressions. We love to ask her to put on her ‘mean’ face and as you can see, she’s ain’t foolin’ around! Thankfully, she’s never made this face at me or Chris, she just does it for practicing how to scare the boys away in the future πŸ˜‰

    Glad the day turned out so well..keeping it together through the service πŸ˜‰ I absolutely love the last two pics of the girls together. They look like they are having so much darn fun together. And I have never seen a frown on Sophie’s face!!!! Actually made me giggle a little (lol).

    I doubt that Sophie is EVER going to be able to scare boys away; no matter how hard she tries!!

    thats a mean face?? Oh dear, Piper can beat that a million times over…she is quite the drama queen. and pray tell how you manage to handle all your kiddoes so that they DONT give you ‘the look’, our nearly three year old gives us those mean looks ALL THE TIME!

    still in awe!
