Soaps & Bonbons
Several times in my childhood I remember my dad coming home from work to find the house a mess and dinner not even started. My parents would joke that my mom must have been sitting on the couch all day watching soap operas & eating bonbons.
That's pretty much how I feel right now. I haven't posted in over 3 months, and I pretty much have nothing to show for it. I've been sitting here all morning wondering what we've done since I last posted... and I can't think of much. I mean, I definitely watched too much HGTV, and too much Disney Jr., and I definitely ate way too much chocolate & sugar... but what else?
(What else is there?)
I guess the most important thing that happened in the last three months was that we went from this:
As many of you heard, Marie Frogley joined our family on 3 October 2011 at 2:53am. Yes, that was her due date (little stinker). She was 8 lbs 1 oz (by far our biggest baby) and 20 1/4" long. She was born into a birth tub in our bedroom at home, after about 8 hours of labor.
We all ADORE our newest addition. She is incredibly sweet, and very quiet compared to the rest of our brood. She can be VERY loud when she needs something, but most of the time she is content to sit and observe the chaos around her... as long as she can see what's going on.
Just because I know you all love baby photos as much as I do, here's a couple more of her:
5 Oct 2011 (2 days old) - J1 & M
6 Oct 2011 (3 days old)
9 Oct 2011 (6 days old) - First day at church, wearing a dress that used to be mine.
13 Oct 2011 (10 days old) - Skinny jeans
14 Oct 2011 (11 days old)
15 Oct 2011 (12 days old) - Daddy cuddles
23 Oct 2011 (nearly 3 weeks) - Blessing day
23 Oct 2011 - J2 & M
J2 & M
K & M
Dave & M (one of my favorites!)
We have done a few other things, but that's about all I have time to post right now. Hopefully it won't be another 3 months before I post again. :) I think I'll leave you with my favorite picture of my new beautiful daughter.
