 Sisters talking and telling secrets.

 Emy chose to take Ma to the "Me & My Gal Dance" for girl scouts.

 Love the outfit.

 My 3 babies.

LOVE the hat!

Thanks to my friend Ronda for this precious little hat!

Normalcy

Is that a word?  I have felt like there is not much normalcy in my life since Tessa made her grand appearance.  Do I love her?  ABSOLUTELY!  MORE THAN WORDS can express it.  Does having three children make me crazy?  ABSOLUTELY!   It's hard to explain.  It just seems like Tessa has always been here.  And I'm so very thankful to have all my babies. Life is so.......exhausting......but is even more fun.

It's just a different kind of normalcy now.

Miss Tessa feels much better today--actually since yesterday.  Last night she wanted to pull an all nighter.  So we did.  She talked and cooed and smiled.  And I looked at my wonderful little miracle and smiled back.

We told secrets.

It was so worth the loss of sleep.

I love her.

I am a mommy of 3.

WOW!  God is so good!

Time marches on.....

Time is just flying....Tessa is 3 months old.  Emy is halfway thru 2nd grade and Luke has 2 permanent teeth already.  Geez.  I'm completely and totally worn out today.  Tessa had her 2 month shots a month late. I refused to take her because the flu bug was crazy here.  I don't want to take her anywhere.  She had diarrhea terribly bad last week.  She is gnawing on her hands.  Do you think she could be teething this early?  Geez.

I'm exhausted today---did I say that already?  Tessa and I have walked around the house, rocked, bounced, swung, talked, read, sung. . . we've done it all today.  Plus, we have napped quite a bit together in the recliner--no better feeling in the world.  Poor Luke and Emy.....I feel like they are getting the short end of my stick LOL.  I don't know how mothers of 4, 5, 6 or more do it.  Three is really stretching my limits these days.  I know, though, in the end that God doesn't give one more than they can handle.  So here I am, handling it.

Have a great weekend guys.  Mine is going to get better--starting now!

Gotta to go and rock a sweet, precious baby.....but first, I think I'll play a game with my Emy & Luke.

Adios!  More pictures will be posted soon--I promise!
