The Crafts

My blog has obviously taken a backseat as evidenced by my three week lapse in blogging. Free time isn't all that common these days as one might expect with a new baby around. However, I can't complain. I shower most days, the house is fairly clean and I even fit in a little exercise here and there. I'd say overall things are pretty darn good. Sure we have our struggles but we had those pre-baby too. .  All five of us actually got out of the house together for something other than church. We traveled to Ames, ate at Hickory Park and went to an ISU basketball game. We also made the rounds to four different cities for Thanksgiving with minimal drama. We are slowly figuring out this new life. Slowly. My week days are filled with lots of time with these two. If CJ is within earshot then Natalie is searching for her.

My super sweet Natalie turned one month yesterday. She celebrated in style with all her baby peeps. They noshed on bottles of high end milk and wore designer onesies.  Actually CJ and I just made her a sign to celebrate and we snapped a few pics.  Maybe we'll do something bigger for her second month. Natalie is the sweetest baby. I just love this girl to pieces! And I love that her older sisters have such a kind heart towards Natalie. (Next time we'll wait to snap pics when Kate is home from school.) After CJ's photo op she stole the camera from my hands and snapped a picture of Natalie and me. I don't have many photos of me with my girls, then again I prefer to be behind the camera. But I know one day I'll be disappointed I don't have more of these types of pictures. I love to see photos of my mom when we were younger but we don't have too many. I am a very blessed mama.

I think life with three girls is not going to be boring... I like these three sweeties a lot. Twelve years of college tuition and three weddings may get expensive but I think we are going to have a lot of fun in this wild house of our's.
