Violet is 7 weeks old as of this morning. She is such a wonderful baby! She makes me want to have more!!! Right now I don't wake up to feed her until 5am...so she's almost sleeping through the night. She is predictable eating about every 3 hours during the day and just starting to give some smiles. I was so excited for that. She is so loved by her sisters...still! She sometimes gets called every other sister's name but eventually I get "Violet" out :-) It takes a few weeks for the baby's name to roll off my tongue. We are all so proud of her.
I am feeling really good, except that I am tired most of the time. However, it's my fault usually. After I put Violet to bed I just want to hang out with Lynn and get a few things done around the house. So then I get to bed late.
We are so blessed and I have so many things to be thankful for. I love my 4 girls, "way up high to the sky" we say.
We just made it back from Oregon where my mom grew up. All the aunts/uncles and cousins and gma and gpa were invited to a wonderful place on the coast to gather and just be together. We had a straight flight there and overall that went real well. It was supergood Oregon "living" together for 3 days. Then we spent time with my Aunt Lindy and Uncle Ian who are missionaries in Quito, Ecuador. They were able to make it back!
Time with family is precious and special.
Almost all of these pictures are from Oregon.
