The past 6 weeks


Well, it has been a crazy 6 weeks here (yes, she is 6 weeks old...I can't believe it!). We have become a family of 6, enjoyed Kevin's spring break (which he called "Spring Work" since he was working on so many projects), spent a day in the closet while the tornadoes came through Alabama, thanked God that we were spared and prayed for the families that were not, spent almost 5 days without power, Kevin worked with disaster relief, washed a LOT of laundry once we had power back, went on our church campout to Fall Creek Falls, tried to get our lives back to "normal", planted a garden and all the while our little baby girl has been growing. She is a big girl! She weighs about 13 pounds already! She has not been the most easy-going baby, but she does sleep well at night, for which I am very grateful. It is very fun to have a splash of pink in our blue world. The boys are doing great with her. Joel had a hard time being gentle at first, but I think he has gotten the hang of it. The bigger boys just love and dote on her. Both are very helpful at giving her the paci when she is crying (which is a good bit). Canaan was a little too helpful the other day...he got her out of the swing and was carrying her across the room towards our room before Eli yelled "Mama, Canaan has Lillianna!!" I ran in there trying not to scare him so much that he would drop her. But, to my surprise he actually was carrying her quite well! :) Maybe when she is a little older...

So, this has been a long time coming, but I thought I would finally share some more pictures of our baby girl!




















Check out that chub!! :) She is so kissable!

And here's a few of the boys with their baby doll.
