5 pounds

my babies were all born over 7 pounds so holding a baby this small is a strange feeling.

she was so fragile.

brooklynn was 12 days old and only five pounds.

 

 

 

 

 

she woke up!

newborns are so wobbly.  

and her little milk mouth...it's heavenly...couldn't you just kiss your screen?!

can you tell i had a lot of fun taking these?  

you'd never have guessed it was 100 degrees and i was literally dripping sweat down my face.

brooklynn didn't seem to mind at all.

thank you melissa, toby and grandma marilyn.

it was a pleasure.

puddles

we were having a lot of rain...

which makes for good puddles (or water in your basement...take your pick).

after a crazy saturday morning storm the girls decided it was time.

time to attack the neighbor's giant puddle.

their driveway always makes one.

i'm sorry...did i say attack?  yeah they went running full speed out there 

and then when they got to it they stopped...touched their feet softly in 

and started acting like girls!  

"it's cold....ewwww...it's dirty!...is that a bug?!!"

what?

who are you?

oh please don't start being prissy...my sweet frog loving, worm catching, dirty girls.  PLEASE!!!

we had a visitor.

he wasn't prissy at all.

(no prissy girls were injured during this puddle jumping adventure)

see?  no splashing.

no jumping.

crazy.

then a tantrum...how nice.

go ahead you girly girl who can't get wet and dirty...go inside and put on a dress...fine!

i'll always have waffle.

brothers.

i guess this is my first set of just brothers.

it was fun....boys are goofy.

 

 

 

it was a bit breezy...

flips flops on little kids is just plain CUTE.

i have a confession.

I HAVE GUILT.

emily...dustin...i am sorry.

i took them to the parked train cars for pictures....AND THE POLICE CAME!!

and every time i look at these pictures i feel extreme guilt for possibly being unsafe.

i don't think we were...3 adults within arms length of these boys the entire time...nothing moving.

no trains coming.

really nothing to feel any concern at the time...other than the cops!

but still.

i have guilt.

i was trespassing!

but the pictures are cute...that helps ease my guilt a little.

cute shirts.

so again...i am sorry to take you on private property.

and i am sorry dustin if i teased you too much about your beard.

thanks.

nice meeting you emily.  

and your sweet boys.
