I was talking to my SIL Sarah yesterday, and at first I missed her call and as I was leaving her a message I said that I was getting the kids in the car. And it struck me as funny to say that because Ruby was at school. It used to be that I was just getting Emma in the car. Anyway, I sure love these three little ones. As I look back at pictures of Emma as a baby I realize that she and Eli could be twins, minus the fact that they are a different gender. They look so much alike. Don't you think?
Last week before FHE Ruby was sitting on the couch with me while I fed Eli. She was holding the Gospel Art Kit and was telling Eli stories and showing him pictures. Most of them were pretty accurate, until she turned to a picture of Mormon abridging the plates. She said to him "Eli, this is Mormon. He was a Prophet and was very, very English." I couldn't stop laughing and wondered where she came up with it. She looked downright pleased with herself.
It has been great, the past two weekends I have gotten a nap in. One was over 3 hours long. It was blissful. Jed has taken such good care of me and I don't mind a bit. I am so thankful for all of his help.
The girls love to cuddle Eli, and whenever Eli is doing anything other than sleeping Emma will ask "What's wrong with Bubba?" When I got on to post I thought I had a lot to write about, I'm not sure what I have forgotten. One thing is for sure, we are loving life as a family of five.
What sweet pictures! You guys are one really good-looking family! I totally agree--Emma and Eli look so similar! I'm so glad you've been getting naps too. You deserve it! =)
ReplyDeleteI think it's pretty much universally known that Mormon was very, very English. I love her! Your little family is so so cute! I love it!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. It's fun to compare pictures of siblings. Your kids are so cute! Also, yay for naps. I am sure you felt so rejuvinated after that 3 hour snooze. I'm jealous! :)
ReplyDeleteStill cant believe you are a family of 5! CRAZY! They are sure some cute kiddos!
ReplyDeleteEli is darling! I'm glad the girls are having so much fun with him. And, he really does look a lot like Emma's baby pictures. Sarah mentioned Eli will be blessed the first weekend in June, is that correct?
ReplyDeleteI am glad that life is good for you. :) 3 adorable kiddos. You are the woman my lady! Love it.
ReplyDeleteyep, we will be blessing Eli, the first weekend in June. I think it's the 6th. I will get an e-mail out soon. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful family you have! That story about Ruby and Mormon kills me. What a funny girl!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that first pic of all three kids :)
ReplyDeleteDo you find yourself also having to really focus on saying "the kids" instead of "the girls"? My switch from "the boys" to "the kids" when Molly was born was a complete mind trip!
