We're going to be blessing Bella in church in a few weeks, so we had her picture taken today in her blessing dress. This was the same dress I was blessed in many moons ago! I'm so glad my Mom kept it. Bella hated it, even though she looked so pretty! I think it was uncomfortable & there were lots of hanging ribbons to get little fingers tangled in, but she slept the whole time anyway. I actually wanted a pic with her eyes open! Darn it! She is so sweet & cuddly right now, in fact I've hardly put her down in 4 weeks! Len has totally spoiled me by taking a ton of time off work & taking great care of the boys when they were sick. So, then when he went back to work a few days ago...reality hit me hard! I needed to lay Bella down & get Noah off to school, while Sam & Mack were whining for breakfast. Bella, of course, wouldn't have anything to do with her bed because I've been holding her non-stop! It was total chaos pretty much the whole day. After 3 hours of trying to get the baby to nap in her crib, I ended up calling the neighbor & asking if Sam & Mack could come over for an hour so I could concentrate just on her. After 2 more hours, it worked & now she's sleeping in her bed great. Phewwww! It was worth 4 weeks of bliss for 1 super crazy day! I know I will miss the kids being little & the craziness someday!
These are my handsome (& now healthy) boys playing in the snow a few weeks ago. I just like this picture, so I had to add it! Now it feels like 80 degrees outside! I hope it snows again soon after Thanksgiving, so it feels like winter :) What a bunch of cuties!

She is so adorable. I am glad everyone is healthy again in your family. That was awful. And yes, you probably will miss the days when they were little, I know I do. :) It goes sooo fast. Let us know how the blessing goes!

Laura, I believe you are one of my adopted grand daughters. I left a comment on your November book club.
Beautiful baby. Are you like my sister-in-law. After 8 she said she was still baby hungery!
I love your new family picture! Plan on us being there.
What a sweet picture. You are so lucky to have a little princess! What a doll! Those boys are darling too. What a sweet family.
