{2 out of 3} Sisters

You'd think I'd have lots of words of wisdom about raising girls. But I don't. Their relationship changes from minute to minute.
But most of the time (I'd say about 85%), they are best friends and play great. They seem to always be together, including the other in whatever they are into. At this very moment, breakfast is being served by Daddy and Emily just said "I want to sit by Kara."
They are so sweet.
 I love these girls.
And I am so glad they have each other (and Ashley) for the rest of their lives. What a treasure.

12 Weeks Old

I find it so funny how different this baby can look depending on her position.
Sitting up...
 Lying down...
 Or smiling.

Few more Beach Pics

 How Ashley spent most of her first vacation:
 Ashley and 3rd Cousin Coleman

 The girls got their first Pez at the market in Seaside
 Papa and Ashley
 Drip castles
 We caught hundreds of those little clam shells on the shore and put them in whatever we had. A styrofoam cup this day:





 Big Jump!

Tripod Pics- Family of 5

Before Church Sunday, Emily asked if we could take a few pictures with the camera on the tripod. So, even though we were rushed and running a few minutes behind, we stopped and smiled at the flashing light twice.

Test Shot of our beautiful daughter:
 The light was terrible, so I edited these into Black and Whites.
 Cut off our heads, so I tried again.
Cut off my shoulder, but that's okay. Everyone's looking the right direction so....success!!

11 weeks old

I'm a few days behind but here is Ashley at 11 weeks.
 She is sleeping like a champ every night and now, with 3 doses of Mylanta daily, she is very happy during the day.
 And she's on a great routine- like clock work!
she has found her hands and sucks on them all the time. The result is lots of drool and very wet clothes.
