Getting a picture of all three of them looking at me at the same time without funny faces can prove to be a challenge. Here's how it went. Emily look here:
Yes, Emily I see your new toy. Look HERE, at me! Abigail stop being weird:
Success:
She can be so goofy sometimes:
I think she's looking older. I'm kinda in love with her hair- subtle highlights, smooth & shiny. It's lovely:
It's impossible for this little girl to go outside & not get filthy. I don't mean dirty, I mean FILTHY! I've commented to Eric that she's worse than the boys, and that's saying something! :) Those are not her eyebrows- that's dirt:
It's about time for new boots but I'm not sure she's ready to part with them:
This is one of my favorite pics from the day. It just conveys "childhood" to me. She was happy to walk back & forth, stopping periodically to play with the balls but mostly she content to just carry it about:
Kinda adore this one too. Love capturing the joy:
Just before it was time to come in, Patricia showed Emily how to blow a dandelion. One thing that makes childhood precious is the fact that everything is new. I love seeing those first moments- the coldness of ice cream, the crunch of snow, the fun of jumping in puddles, the wonder of sounding out letters that make words, the joy of riding a bike with training wheels. I'm glad I was able to capture this moment for Emily:
Again, those are not her eyebrows. :) It was definitely time for a bath when she came in! She wanted Patricia to do it all over again when the dandelion seeds blew away:
I'm thankful for the privilege of being my children's mama & watching them experience and learn about life. I'm thankful God has given us His Word to help guide us as they learn. Parenting isn't alway beautiful or even joyful- it's made up of difficult moments too with a whole lot of mundane, ordinary things. But if we stop & observe, those things are precious!

My girls miss Kathryn! I've overheard them playing like she was here. :)
