Photo shoot #2

I decided to do a photo shoot with the other two girls since I have not had any recent pictures of them made to give to family. They were all for it so we were going to go out into the yard but it was raining so we stayed on the porch. I thought the brick was a pretty nice backdrop. I took several pics but only posted a few. Some turned out pretty good and some not so hopefully I can come up with some to give out.

Here is my guy reading to all three to my girls. I thought this was a precious sight and had to get it on camera.

Daddy home

I kept Chloe out of school today for two reasons.... She had an appt with the dermatologist for her eczema and she has a very bad cold. So all day today she was out of sorts due to Emma not being home and not having anyone but me to play with. She also went around all day saying daddy home, daddy home. I told her we would call him and she got to talk with him for a little bit but she really missed her daddy today, or it could have been the piggy back rides he started giving her. Once again my whole family is sick. Lydia has a viral rash and has ran a fever for the last couple of days and I have another cold that was probably caught from Chloe. Chris started sneezing and feeling bad today. Emma seems to be the only one who is not sick at the moment but I am sure she will be. It is just a never ending thing. I am running on two hours of sleep due to Lydia kept waking up crying and not feeling good last night and today she has been the same way poor thing. I hate it when my kids are sick. Hopefully we will all be well by Christmas.

Three month photos

I wanted to post a few more of my little Lydia during our shoot for her three month pictures. I feel sort of bad for the fact that for Emma and Chloe I took them and had their pictures made from what i thought were professional photographers, but ended up not being very happy with some of them they had made. I thought I could do better than that so I tried and made Lydia's myself. It saves money and i can choose any picture i want. I just hope later on she will not feel cheated by it.

3 Months today

Lydia and I had a nice little photo shoot today for her three month photos. She was smiling in almost all of them and did so well. Cannot believe she is already three months. The outfit she is wearing is one that had belonged to Chloe and had Chloe's pics professionally done with the outfit but was not too impressed with the pictures. I took 30 pictures of Lydia and they all turned out pretty good so I ordered a few and hopefully will get them in a few days. I got my Christmas cards sent out today. Was totally glad about that and all my shopping is done and I am so glad and do not have to worry about it anymore. Chris and I are only doing stocking stuffers since we invested in a new washer and dryer(whirlpool Duet). Totally love them and so glad we decided to just get them after longing for them for a couple of years.

Christmas cookies

We made Christmas cookies yesterday and this was Chloe while doing them and she had so much fun cutting them out and of course playing in the flour. Emma had more fun doing the decorating rather than the cutting out.

Chloe after making Christmas cookies, she was so tired.

This pic is so fuzzy but I love it so. My little Lydia was so unhappy at the moment, poor thing.

Putting up or Christmas tree. The girls were so excited when we went and picked out our tree. Emma ended up naming the tree Sleeping beauty. I know odd but as a tradition we always name the tree for the yearand left it up to Emma this year.

Had to show a pic of my little Santa baby. I have done this with all three girls.
