Happy Valentine's Day! (Just a day late :-) )

Catching Up!

Alot has happened in the last month, so I'm doing a quick "catch up" post. We're settling into life with 2 precious girls (still not getting much sleep, but it will come eventually, right?!) We've started our traveling schedule again...we've taken just 2 weekend trips so far, but we're leaving Friday for a 2 1/2-3 week trip.

Here's a quick summary of the collage:
Row 1: Pics 1-6--Michael took a long lunch break one sunny day about a month ago so we could spend some family time in the park!
Pic 7--"Aunt" Debb came for a visit one afternoon.
Row 2: Pics 1-2--A visit to Nana and Poppa's gave us a chance to get pics of them with all their "babies."
Pic 3--A weekend at Community Baptist in NC
Pic 4--"Papi" Bixby with the girls when the Bixbys came over one evening before going back to France
Pic 5--A weekend at Faith Baptist in AL
Pics 6-7--We had the privilege of visiting Michael's Mamma and Pappa on the way back from AL. This is Mamma with the girls.
Row 3: Pics 1-2--Visit at Mamma and Pappa's continued (Pic 2 is Michael's Aunt Janet)
Pics 3-4--Viviane has a blast with her Water Wow painting toy! The four cards are white with color underneath, so when they are
"painted" with water, the color appears. They dry white again, so they can be used over and over!
Pic 5--Adeline has had RSV (a respiratory virus), so we've been doing nebulizer treatments. Here she is during a treatment with
her little "Bubbles the Fish" nebulizer mask. Praise the Lord that she's doing much better now!
Pics 6-7--Sister time!
Row 4: Pics 1-3--Sister time continued :-)
Pics 4-5--Adeline loves tummy time on the boppy looking at her octopus mirror and black and white designs.
Pic 6--My beautiful sleeping baby
Pic 7--"Right back where we started from, Doo Dah, Doo Dah!"

1 month old already!

It's hard to believe our little Adeline Elisabeth is already 1 month old! Saturday was the big 1 month birthday, and we took these pictures yesterday. She brings so much joy to our family and we praise God for her!

Our first "official" family photo--with a 4th member, that is!

(Okay, so we actually took a family photo in the hospital, but I didn't want to claim it as the first official :-) )

Sleepin' Like a Baby

Ready to Carol

Outside!

Viviane took advantage of a beautiful day to express herself in art . . .
to do a little yard work . . .
and a little play.

We thank the Lord for the gift of beauty, energy, and life.
