Eleanor's First Bath

She's not sure what to make of it!

The crying started right after this shot . . .

and continued . . .

until she was dry and dressed again.

My trusty assistant Daniel

He was really disappointed I didn't let him rinse Eleanor with the sprayer!

My Princesses

We love dress-up!
Thanks to Ariana and Jaylin for wardrobe and hairstyling!

Bellybutton

Eleanor is now the proud owner of a bellybutton!
First bath coming soon ...

Gibby's Babies

Eleanor loved her first Gibby's experience! Well, she slept through the part where we all ate ice cream, but did wake up in time for a picture and some dairy of her own before we headed home. She'll like it even more next summer!Here's Olivia on her first trip to Gibby's And Daniel his first time

Can you tell we like ice cream?

Moore State Park

Dan took Olivia and Daniel on a nature walk to Moore State Park

one day while Eleanor and I slept. They loved the waterfall!
Olivia took this picture of Daddy and Daniel. Future photographer?

And of course, a stick fight was required.
I'm surprised Daniel got this close to water and came home dry!
Same goes for Olivia - those lily pads look so tempting!
They actually saw a lot of "nature things" including this

snapping turtle that was sitting on the path.

Eleanor is here!

OK, so she actually arrived 3 weeks ago, but what with all the diaper changing, nursing, and sibling wrangling, I didn't really have a lot of time for blogging!
