Ellie Kate is One Month Old!

This little girl is such a blessing to me! She truly has been an easy baby. She is eating well and sleeping well and growing way too fast! She has just started smiling, but I haven't been able to capture it on camera yet... maybe next month! She goes everywhere with us and barely makes a peep. The boys have lovingly welcomed her into the family and enjoy any moment they have to talk to her or hold her. They keep showing her toys and eagerly await the day when she shows a little interest. I am in awe of the fact that God answered our prayers for not only two precious little boys, but also a little girl. Being the mother of three little ones is a lot more challenging and exhausting than I ever imagined, but I am loving this stage of life (I just wish I could figure out how to keep my house clean)! This is what I have dreamed of my entire life! To God be the glory!

Memaw and Papaw's Visit

Memaw and Papaw came for a visit last week. We were excited to introduce them to Ellie Katie. They played with the boys a lot and made most of our meals. Having so much help has allowed me to go three straight weeks (or maybe four) without cooking! It has been nice to just focus on the kids and recovering!
This is the first picture I have been able to capture of all three kids looking at the camera.
Ellie Kate is still sleeping most of the time. What an easy baby she has been! Last night she slept for seven hours! I am hoping this is our new pattern!
Here are my funny little boys making their silly faces.
I'm not sure exactly what was going on here, but I thought it was cute. Bathing suits, a drum, a mask, a gun, a hat, and lots of smiles and giggles.... looks like fun!
We took Memaw and Papaw to the concert in the park after church on Sunday night.
Its fun to show the Grandparents what our life is like in Coronado.
Memaw and Papaw took the boys on the Zoo Train.
This is where Ellie Kate likes to rest while we are out and about.
We had a really fun visit with Memaw and Papaw.
We wish we didn't have to live so far away!
