Audrey's first bottle

Audrey's first bottle was a success!  We never have good bottle babies once the girls are 3- 4 months old so we will see if this continues!






 Everyone wanted to help.


Success = sleeping baby after a bottle!

Pumpkins!

The girls are pumpkin crazy this year.  There were many crafts done with pumpkins both at school and home this week.  


Painting pumpkins


Of course we carved pumpkins too.  Thankfully that is a Daddy job around here. 


The girls were really helpful. 












Ta Da!  Finished product!




Zoo Boo

We made our annual trip to the zoos Halloween celebration.  The girls loved getting to wear their costumes again and of course getting candy is never turned down.










7 weeks

Time is flying by with this sweet little girl.  I feel like the luckiest mom around!  She is the happiest little thing.   She is a great eater and sleeper!  She is so laid back and just goes along with what ever we are doing.  She smiles when ever she catches eye contact with any of us!  She loves her playmat and watching her sisters.  Emmerson is so great with her and I am noticing more and more how much Audrey is taking to her.  


The hair she hasn't lost just continues to grow.


She is getting very strong. (day she turned 7 weeks)


Her new winter hat is a little big...but she is still so cute in it!


This is what she looks like while watching her crazy sisters. 


Life with two big sisters is exhausting!


Such a sweet big sister!


Audrey is part of bedtime books some nights!


Claire made Audrey a cozy bed and then joined her in it!

Just another day...

This blog shows lots of the events that happen in our life but really most days are "normal".  Here's a look at our new normal!


3 kids helping at the grocery store is really helpful!  So helpful it draws plenty of attention...


Daddy took all three girls up to give them a bath and this is what I found when I walked up to help.... a baby laying in the middle of the hall!


Pre-bedtime makes for a very crowded bedtime cuddle.


Regular playdates


No one is safe from Doc McStuffins check ups. 


After bath you can usually find some collection of tired girls on the couch. 


Trunk or Treat

The girls school has a Halloween event each year.  They get to wear their costumes to school and trick or treat from the parents in the parking lot.  They were very excited to try out their costumes before the real Halloween.

We shared our trunk decorating duties with the Singhs.  The dads settled on an IU tailgate theme.  






This is Everett, one of Emmerson's best buddies.  




Our littlest IU fan was along for the ride too!

Pumpkin Patch

We lucked into a great fall day this Sunday so we decided to go to the pumpkin patch.  The girls were excited to pick out their pumpkins and go on a hayride.  


All ready in our Halloween gear!






The hayride was so fun!  


I think Audrey enjoyed it too!


Claire literally picked the first pumpkin she saw...


Emmerson walked us all over the whole pumpkin patch looking for the perfect pumpkin. 


Of course it is important to be able to lift the pumpkin you pick!




The winners!


Such a fun fall day!




The girls picked Audrey a baby pumpkin.
