Fabulous Four

 I just wanted to see all my babies at once so I rounded up a few pictures.  First is Tate in 2007...

 

Avery in 2009...

 Henry in 2013...

and Finley in 2015...

 Now the whole gang:

Three Months

I've got a rare moment, so I'll do what I love-blog!  I can't stop taking pictures of this little doll, but who cares, she'll only be tiny for a short time.  This is the first baby of mine that has received so much attention from her siblings, and the neighbor kids =)  It's fun because the kids are old enough to want to play with her, although I still often remind them to be gentle.  

Finley is such a sweet girl and we just adore her.  I am sleep deprived, but it's temporary and absolutely worth it. I am constantly reminded as I rock her and play with her that babies really are the best way to start people.

Avery is Six!

Avery is growing straight up like a weed and is now six!  She is social and funny, sensitive and full of energy.  She loves her baby sister and is sad when she doesn't have time to play with her before school.  Avery will often lay out an outfit for Finley and has some great singing and baby talk for her little sister.  She is adjusting to kindergarten, although she has been tired with this transition.  At the beginning of the school year, she had all-day school, gymnastics, and soccer.  Since then, we are narrowing it down to just school for a  nice break.  She requested dolls for her birthday and dinner at McDonalds.  If I had to predict a future career for her in addition to being a mother, it would be a party planner.  She loves to plan for and have something fun to look forward to.  We love our Avery!
