Road trip

We went on a long road trip in December.  First we went to Nana and Pawpaw's house to drop off Addie Lane and Lucy.  They stayed with Joel's parents for several days while Joel and I went to Young Life staff conference at Windy Gap in NC.  Then we went back to his parents house for a couple days.  Then the whole family went to Sharptop in north GA for the Farm Christmas party for the weekend.  6 couples, 12 kids under 5...  pure chaos, but LOTS of fun!  After that we went back to Joel's parents to celebrate Christmas(post to come).
Here are the 2 pics we took at Sharptop. 

lately

Lucy spends a lot of time in the time out chair... apparently she was quite sleepy just after lunch yesterday.  I was wondering why she was so quiet!

SISTERS!!

Claire is by far my best baby...  she might be the best baby ever...  I think I'd have 19 like the Duggars if newborns were all like sweet Claire.  She sleeps through the night (and has since 7 weeks) and she sleeps a lot during the day too.  She loves to coo.... Addie Lane likes to guess what Claire is saying.  Ha!  And any time she gets some attention she smiles the most precious smile.  What a happy baby!

Fall Fun

life with 5 babies

One of my best friends from college, Jennie, came to visit for a couple days with her 2 kids, Anna Wells (2) and Mac (9 months). It was pure chaos, but lots of fun too!

Mac wanted to see what Claire was up to

Dress up time...

Anna Wells obviously LOVES accessories!

So BIG!

My girls are getting so BIG! Claire just had her 2 month well check up. She smiled through the entire check up... the doc said that she was the highlight of his week. She's growing up so fast!

Lucy is the life of the party. She's not still much, but on occasion she asks for pigtails or for her nails to be painted... so she can be still when she wants.

Addie Lane loves to help me in the kitchen and Lucy loves anything that Addie loves. I'm not sure if they enjoy cooking or just want to lick the spoons.

We LOVE Daddy!

Daddy and his 3 sweet girls!

Claire loves to smile these days!

Addie Lane and Lucy LOVE to try to make her smile. They both want to hold her as much as I will let them.
