Ashtyn's first people picture

Ashtyn this morning asked for paper and a pencil and for the first time drew a picture that wasn't just scribbles! Shay and I were quite excited and she was pretty proud of herself. So, here is Grandpa and daddy...



Every day I am asked if I will get down the makeup. It's only on rare occassions when I feel particularly nice, (or should I say busy since it occupies them for quite a while) that I give in. Sunday morning before bath, Ashty had a hayday with makeup, and here's proof (:

What it is about girls and makeup? The pictures are cute, and Ashtyn did a great job on her art work.

Those are some pretty darn good first nonscribble pictures! That's amazing! You're a nicer/busier mom than I--I don't even have play make-up in my house.

WOW! She is going to be an artist!! I am very impressed.

I could just squish her...look at all that makeup. (I haven't bought any for Natalia. I should so she would stay out of MINE!)

Shay's B-day, Maple syrup, and Cryosurgery

Image
This last week has been a little crazy for our family. Most of us have been sick (except Brian, Shay, and I) so it's been fun battling fevers and antibiotics, but also trying to do field trips, volunteering at school, doctors appointments, science projects, birthdays, basketball, ballet, iceskating etc. Whew!! I'm glad it's over. Although today is a catch up day on Tera and Shay's science projects, so I will let you know if we survive or not. Okay, a little recap on some of the things we did this last week. *I went on a really fun field trip with Ashtyn and her preschool. We went to Brookside Nature Center to see the Maple tree farm they have. I have to tell you, it was one of my favorite field trips I have ever been on. We got to see the sap from the Maple trees come out and into the buckets and we got to taste the real maple syrup. It was so yummy. It's going to be hard to go back to the fake stuff... We learned all about photosynthesis and it even stopped rainin...

Club Feet

Image
Brynley was born with club feet. She had to have casts on both legs up to her thighs for eight weeks. She had new casts put on every week and a half to two weeks. During this time she had surgery on her tendons so they will grow longer. She finally graduated to braces that she had to wear night and day for six weeks. Now, she is out of her braces during the day and just wears them at night until she is four or five years. Phew! It's been a long process, but we are just grateful that this is the only problem she has had to deal with. So, here are some pictures of her casts and braces, thought you might enjoy! First Casts Blessing day! Braces!

Baby Girl Number 4

Image
Yes, this is our fourth girl! I know, the profile isn't great, but I guess that's just about what you can get when you're still in the womb (: . I had to ask again to make sure she was really a girl, and yes she definitely is. Wednesday was my second ultrasound. The doctor wanted to make sure that she wasn't too big, considering that each of my girls have been a pound bigger (Tera 7 pounds 2 ounces, Shay 8 pounds 3 ounces, and Ashtyn 9 pounds 2 ounces). I didn't know this but I guess Ashtyn got her shoulder stuck coming out. That can be quite dangerous and could cause brain damage. I was a little nervous to find out how much this one would weigh, because the bigger the baby, the more likely there would be another shoulder caught in the birth canal. Well, it turns out right now that she weighs (or so they say) about 7 pounds 13 ounces. Which isn't too small considering I have two more weeks to go, but isn't enough for a c-section. I am quite relieved since I ...
