First Kiss

Today I witnessed one of the sweetest moments I have seen in a long while.

While I was changing Sydney's diaper on the playroom sofa this morning, Payton came toddling over and leaned over and kissed Sydney on her forehead. I was so touched by this little display of affection between the two. Sydney looked up and acknowledged her sister with a cute little smile. It was just so precious to see Payton display her love for her twin like that. It surprised be because Payton isn't a big kisser - she rarely kisses anyone!

Well don't you know that is got even better? Moments later as I was changing Payton's diaper, Sydney cruised on over and returned the little kiss right on Payton's forehead.

How sweet is that???

Payton takes a bath

All of my girls haven't been feeling that great in the last few days. They seem to have been passing a fever around and yesterday was Haley's day to be sick. Today she was feeling better and wanted to have a nice warm bath this morning. The twins were in having a nap when she finished so I dried her off and got her dressed.

Payton and Sydney woke up shortly afterwards so I went to get them and nurse them in my room. Payton always finishes first and was toddling around in the hall and my room while Sydney finished up. I was still in my bedroom tidying up when I hear the very distinct should of splashing! I dash to the bathroom to see this:

Thank goodness I was just in the next room! (Mental note... don't leave a full tub of water.. duh!! Surely I know better than to do that!)

I guess Payton thought she needed a bath!! So she took one! LOL

Of course Sydney wanted in on the action too so they both got to take a nice bath right before lunch! Silly girls!

Where have I been???

Hello out there!!!

Yup... I pretty much disappeared there for a while... Oops... I guess life got crazy and I lost track of time. ;)

I am going to go back and 're-create' some of the thing we have been up to in the last almost 3 months so be sure to go back in dates and see what we have been up too!!

Happy Birthday Haley!!

Wow!! Could it really be?? Could my little girl be 5 already??

It is truely amazing how quickly children grow. It seems like just yesterday that we were blessed with a beautiful baby girl. It was totally amazing to have a precious princess after having two wonderful boys. What a great surprise!!

Haley was born on 11/9/04. She was due on Thanksgiving but came 2 1/2 weeks early when I went into weak labor and decided that I need to have her. Thankfully my OB was on duty at the hospital and knowing my history (Braden was 10lbs 14oz!), he thought that allowing me to have her early was a good idea. It took all day to dialate but it surely was worth it! Haley arrived at 9:15pm weighing in at 8lbs 7 1/2oz. She was 21 inches long. Our little princess had dark brown hair and was just perfect!!

She is a sweet and loving child. She showed us the girlie-ness starts at birth! As soon as she was old enough to show her preference for things, she made her choices for things frilly and pretty. She still wears a dress of skirt most days of the week. I just love it! She has just a little bit of girlie attitude that is just so cute. It has been such a joy to watch her grow and turn into a bright and happy little girl. No longer a baby.. she is a big girl now and really becoming my best friend. I sure am going to miss her when she head off to Kindergarten next year.

Before I start to cry... I'm going to end this post... Happy Birthday Haley... we love you!
