naked sheep

maddie made the cutest little cotton ball sheep in sunday school last week. a couple days later she asked me what sheep are for, so i told her how they are sheared to get wool for sweaters.
the next time i saw her little sheep, he looked like this:

after a month of silence...

...I'm finally catching up! I've neglected this blog, and with a newborn I know that's not cool. ;) So here are a few pictures and videos from the past month and a half. I'll try to be better at keeping up, especially with pictures of Emma, who's growing so fast. She's a happy, healthy baby. And she's sleeping through the night (from 9 pm to 7 am) so I'm a happy mom!

Madeline and Noel are doing well also. They both love having a little sister, especially Mad. The two girls have already formed a bond that's sweet to see. Emma will always smile for Maddie. Noel is pushing the limits lately, in true two year old style. But he's just as cuddly as ever and talks with the cutest little lisp.

Damian and I are up to the usual. He's taking a class at Multnomah and working on roofs during the week. I'm home with the kids, holding down the fort. :) We keep busy with three little kiddos... and Samson, who often feels like another kid.

Anyway, that's all for now! I'm out of coffee so my "computer time" is up. :)

happy Emma-bean

this picture was taken yesterday, so it's recent! :) she's been smiling a lot lately. especially for Maddie, who's standing off to the side. they have such a sweet bond.
here's a video of Emma smiling for Maddie. at the end, Maddie says to "take a picture." i did, and that's the picture above. :)

here's a couple pics of Madeline. she's quite the delightful character lately... always performing for us, playing with her princess dolls, dressing up... she's fun to be around! when i'm taking myself too seriously, she corrects me. and when she's not serious enough, i correct her. ;)

here's a video of her singing the ABCs. you'll notice she gets distracted by something... our computer was always freezing up (my excuse for not posting anything for over a month) so she was pointing out that it was working again. we recently got a new computer which i'm really enjoying --no freezing up! :) anyway, ignore that. ha.

i just couldn't resist...

our Noel

here are some pictures from the past month of our Noel. he's growing into such a handsome little guy, in my motherly opinion. :)
he loves wearing this bumble bee costume... he even sleeps in it!
peanut butter & jelly face... his usual after lunch attire
another favorite toy... it cracks me up to see him wearing this around the house as if it were a normal hat. and when he's not wearing it, damian is wearing it and chasing the kids around the house. fun times.

sweet Emma-bean

here are a couple pictures of Emma, taken about a month ago... sorry i'm so behind in blogging! i'll try to catch up... :)

Maddie loves her little sis
