Dancing for Him!

I haven't written a blog in a while because, well, I am too busy having so much fun and enjoying these three girls! They are all amazing and sweet and so easy. They have a tremendous amount of love for each other and they are such good girls. Caroline is almost crawling, but can easily and quickly scoot or roll to anything! Her sisters are very protective of her, and try to clear a path for her or take away anything they think could hurt her! So sweet. She gets tons of kisses and hugs, probably more than she wants. ;) She loved food of any kind, and has tried rice cereal, baby crackers, avocado, black olives, mango, grapes in a food feeder, banana and carrots. She's an easy, laid back sweet thing. I often times can't seem to get enough of her. She is just the definition of sweet and easy!

We love to listen to worship songs at home, and dance and sing together. One of my favorite things about going to church now on Sundays is the worship time before we take the kids to nursery. They stay with us for about 3 songs, and they dance their little hearts out. It is so adorable and heart warming. Lil and Elle held hands today and danced and danced, kissing and hugging randomly. Daddy got some good Eleanor smooches on both cheeks, ending with an "I love you Sooooooooo much daddy!" Lillian is starting to recognize some songs, so hearing her sing praise to God is pretty amazing and sweet. She is full of love for God. She told us yesterday "mommy, some people do not have God in their hearts. I have God in my heart. Even some people who have a house don't have God in their heart, and that is very sad. ". That is very sad little one, because the joy of knowing God, and the peace that comes from him is amazing. We should pray for those who don't know Him!!!!! The song Lillian really sang loud today was about all the things we should thank Jesus for. There are SO many things. We are so blessed. I love my family, I love my life, thank you Jesus for everything.

Lillian decided she really wanted to take the school bus to school! I have been so reluctant to let her, but it is only for preschoolers SO I told her we could try. She was incredibly brave, so excited and did so great. She jumped on the bus, smiled and waved goodbye, and didn't look back. She came home on the bus too, and told daddy she wanted to take the bus every day, and didn't want mommy and daddy to drive her anymore. Hee hee. Adorable! So proud of that little one! Lillian loves to color and draw, and can easily spend close to an hour and a half drawing! She draws the cutest stick figures I have seen, and is starting to try to draw animals and other things. We recently wrote a book together (I put her words on paper and she drew) and she named it "so many monsters". It was very creative and had a great story line! She loves to learn, and loves to play. She is incredibly independent and helpful. She loves her "suggles" and wakes me up in the morning by kissing me gently and repeatedly on my cheek. Then she heads into her room to play until Elle is awake, and goes to get Elle once she wakes up. (Of course mommy is there too!).

Elle is such a sweet and funny little girl. She has a giant vocabulary, and says the most hilarious things! I love that pony tails are called "hairy tales!" When she climbs into her crib at night herself (saying no no no, me me me! If I try to actually put her in), she has to give a kiss on each of our cheeks. She says the word "yummy" so adorable and she knows it cracks me up, so she does it randomly now. (Yummmmm meeeeeeeeeeee!) She loves to sing, loves to laugh and make others laugh, loves to give kisses and hugs, and loves to do things all by herself like a big girl. She's amazing!

So really and truly, thank you Jesus for the life you have given us!!!!! We are blessed.
