Treasuring It!

A quick post of photos from Gloria's newborn days that again, will be forgotten if not blogged.

I sometimes wonder what it'll be like in Heaven. Will we remember all the details from our earthly life in picture-perfect quality? Will we want to? Why do I dislike the idea of forgetting so much? Anyone?

Anyhow.

Here's Gloria. Again. How I treasure this girl.

Sisters.

The death-grip swaddle.
I give lessons for free, if anyone wants to know how to keep their kid swaddled till they're five.

I'd need a chiropractor if I slept like this.

Josh stuck this in her hand and called her 'Princess Gloria' :)

Loved.

Tummy time.

This girl has the gift of smile.

Gloria meeting Pastor Ron. She rather liked him!

Sleeping Glory.

Gloria 2 months

(Just to prove she's not always happy. She's not. Trust me!)

Bubble girl always has foam at the mouth! :)

We love you to pieces, little Glow-Bug!!

The Ultimate Superhero

How many people get to have a Superman/Spiderman combo living in their house, ready to save the world? I am a blessed lady.

Check out those biceps. :)

Peek-a-boo, Micah! I know it's you in there!

Chronicles of a Loose Tooth

Last week Ellie started looking a bit hill-billy-ish. That tooth just didn't want to say good-bye!

So we decided it was time to help it out. Literally.

Rob took Ellie downstairs to the bathroom to try and "tie" the tooth out with floss. This didn't hurt but Ellie was a bit nervous and was making some interesting noises that made the boys go 'oh-oh'...

.... and of course when they realized the camera was out, they continued their mock-shock at the torture in our basement.

This is seriously one brave kid.

The floss actually didn't work, and Rob ended up yanking it.

It was totally worth it:

To a six year old, losing a tooth is kind of like...graduating. Or getting married. It's a very. Big. Deal.

And of course, we celebrated with ice cream. Is there any other way?

Little Posers

T'was a Sunday morning and we were all ready EARLY for church (*gasp!*) and there

was peace in the house (*gasp again!*) ....

...when the kids started posing...

 ...and didn't stop.

(oooh I just love this smile!)

They must have caught on to how wonderfully cute I think God created them. :)
