snow in Memphis????

Whoa.. as I sit here tonight downloading photos... it is snowing for the 3rd time in Memphis this Winter already.. Elly M. enjoys it and ruthie does until she has been out there for 5 minutes. Some of that girls faces are priceless.

Noomi Gilah

This girl gets pretty happy when there is food being put into her mouth by a spoon!!!! So cute! And don't you love love love the bib she is wearing??? Jessica gave her that for Christmas.

my girls

Sometimes i am overwhelmed by them... sometimes their cuteness is overwhelming!!!!!! But I always love them!

our friend evie

Here are some cute photos of the girls and their friend evie. The girls get along really well most of the time and really really enjoy each other's company and I am really glad because i really enjoy her momma's company.

the 3 girls

I actually took pictures of all 3 girls together this month and got a few good shots of elly m. by herself, which feels like a rare occasion. The girls are so much fun. Winter is tough when they are small... we miss Spring and Summer and Fall, but soon enough.. soon enough we will be basking in 70 degree weather.. enjoying sun dresses and croc shoes and the swimming pool.. oh the glorious swimming pool!

Random shots at home

Here are a few random photos at home. We have been trapped inside quite a bit lately, but have fortunately been able to get out and go to the children's museum with friends quite often. All three girls are growing fast it seems. And now that everyone has tubes in their ears, we are all getting better sleep and much less grumpy. Praise the Lord!

Cute little noomi

Here are some recent pictures of noomi.. from tonight as she sat on the couch in awe of her sisters bathing in her bathtub in the living room. she now has two teeth and can roll allllllllllllllllll over the place. way to go noomster.

jOnathan's hurt foot

Jonathan came home from work today and he had stepped on a nail and it went through his shoe. I told him to get a tetanus shot.. he refused, but he did decide that maybe he should soak it in some antibacterial soapy water... and look who joined him. He was using noomi's little bath tub and the girls just jumped right in. they didn't hesitate to take all of their clothes off and just jump in that little tub. hilarious. jonathan is soaking his foot now in peace after they went to bed... he didn't really have room when they were in there.

princess ruthie

I just couldn't resist these pictures of ruthie. she is sooooo adorable sometimes. and i will say. i thought winter would bring out my children wearing more clothes, but no.. even at 62 in the house.. they still don't really want to wear clothes. the other two pics. are two more from the children's museum.

Children's museum

WE, meaning I, took some of the christmas money from my grandparents and purchased a pass not only to the zoo, but also the Children's museum. It is great that we can go here in the Winter and the really hot days in the summer. I love going other places like this because that means I don't have to clean up after my kids at home. the number one reason winter is hard for me is because we are in the house so much trashing it that I feel like every minute we are here, i need to clean something. in the summer the house rarely gets used, so therefore, it rarely gets that messy.. okay maybe not, but really more time in the house means it is much more dirty. but alas, the girls really really enjoy the children's musuem. and little miss noomi is teething big time in these pictures and sure enough.. she has her two front bottom teeth.. not quite in time for Christmas like she was singing about, but super close.
