It's amazing how fast life if going right now. And I'm just trying my hardest to soak it all in because it is so precious right now. Callie is 10 weeks!! Can you believe it!! I sure can't. She's a doll. Sleeping like a champ and sooo sweet natured and laid back. (guess you kinda have to be being the third right in a row!) Things are good. If you have little ones, go hug them really tight. And even though they are hard and you are tired sit back and marvel at this wonderful gift God has given us. They are truly amazing gifts.... gifts strait from the hand of God himself. Here are some of the girls....

Butt paste!
Never leave your two toddlers unattended giggling in a room together, this is what you get..... I was making dinner tonight and realized that they were playing so sweet together in Lily's room. I even peeked in and saw their little feet under the curtain. They were both behind it laughing, so I just though they were being cute looking out the window. I should have known better....
A little while later Lily walked out with the tub of Butt Paste. Uh oh. And it just happened that she was covered with it. My mind went to Henry... I knew he was the original culprit anyway. So I pulled back the curtain and saw him too, covered with butt paste as well as the window. What a sight and what a mess!! They still smell like the stuff after two bathes. Oh my!

Fun in the sun...
Today we went to our dear friends house to play in their fun backyard. It was a hot day, but that is perfect when you want to spend time in the cold water!! You can't tell that Henry had a blast can you!?

Sweetness....
Doncha just love little babies?? I mean yes, they are sooo much work. Lot's of diapers, lots of attention, lots of sleep (during the day!) lots of not sleeping at night. But there is just nothing quite like those few weeks you get of just snugly baby. They are just never that snugly again ya know? Even if they are snugly toddler (which mine are not) that is the only time that they NEED to snuggle. That's about all they can do anyway:)
There is something so sweet and sacred about mommy's and their babies. I'll never forget how amazed I was after having my first at how, even so small, they know who their mama's are. They can smell you and sometimes (heck most times) you are what they want. They follow your smell, they follow your voice, they want to be snuggled under your chin, no one else. And even though this little girlie is my third, it just doesn't get old! Perhaps, it is even more sweet because I know, first hand, how short lived this stage is. Soon she will be more interested in her surroundings, more curious, and more mobile. But for now, I am her everything and I like that.
I can't help but know that this is how it was perfectly designed. God knew after carrying these small miracles in our belly's and our hearts that we would want to hold them close after finally meeting them. That our love for them trumps being tired and weary. That no matter what these babies could depend on us for everything.
So as I go through my busy day, I try to remember just how sweet my little Callie is. To hold her tight, to kiss on that sweet head, and soak up every moment. Because in a blink it's gone.

Cookin'
Today we were at home again! The third day in a row!! I'm never home that many days in a row!! Well we had to have some fun.:) So we made some cupcakes for daddy. They are him favorite kind just 'cause we love him so much!! I didn't get any shots of Henry actually making them because I didn't' think it would be wise to go get the camera while he was cracking eggs, pouring oil, or mixing with the mixer:) But this is him putting the final sprinkles on them. Lily stirred the batter with a spoon and watched from her high chair eating raisins.
