More family pics

We got our CD in the mail today from Jennifer Waters Photography.  I couldn't believe how many pictures we got back!  There were 15 posted to her website, and our CD had over 110 images.  So excited to finally get our old ones changed out.

Jacie Josephine - 4 years

Jacie's growing up like crazy.  Sometimes she does something so sweet and thoughtful and just GROWN UP that Casey and I look at each other and about cry.  We have a hard time believing we are the parents of a four-year-old.

The other day my mom and I were driving home with the girls and talking about this guy that once fixed our ceiling in the "dance room", which is our upstairs porch.  I couldn't remember his name, but knew he was there while I was in the hospital after Eden was born.  Jacie pipes up from the back, "Mommy, I think you mean Gordy Barry."  How she remembers things like that is beyond me.  She will bring up the house we rented when we lived in Atlantic ("I loved that carpet!" she says.  It was BURGANDY.)

Jacie's a great helper to me, constantly running upstairs for diapers, wipes, or other random things I forget.  She now takes Kamry with her when she goes to the bathroom, and I can hear her in there encouraging her.  "No, try putting your panties on this way, it's way more comfortable!"  Kamry runs around a lot with them on backwards, just like her shoes are always on the wrong feet.  Jacie, being the responsible first child she is, always has put her shoes on the correct feet.

Jacie's current loves are perfecting her letters and numbers, learning how to spell common words and names, the kitties we have, landing her cartwheels on her feet, and the kitties.  She takes forever to get moving in the morning, dislikes sleep, and is so much like me it isn't funny.

The Trine tongue, gotta love it

Kamry Kate - 2 years

Kam is our free entertainment.  She performs daredevil tricks (hair clippy, anyone?) and never stops moving.  She's got the best sense of humor!  She loves to laugh and make us laugh.  Her latest accomplishments are the transition out of diapers to the potty and drawing circles that are beginning to take on a human resemblence.  :)
Today Kamry and I were playing outside while Daddy and Jacie were at the pumpkin patch and Eden was napping.  I had to run in for something and when I came out, she was putting our kitten, Sally on the rug.  I asked her what she was doing and she said, "Sally will not stay on the scooter, so she has to go to timeout!"  After Sally got out of timeout, Kamry took Sally for a spin on the scooter, and Sally rode the whole time.  It was great.

Jacie and Kamry have really started playing well together, before I think Kam was just a little to young to understand what Jacie was trying to orchestrate so Jacie would get frustrated that Kam didn't get it.  Last night I was in peeling potatoes for supper and I looked out the windows and they were in line like a parade both blowing on Casey's duck calls.  Farm girls.

First thing anyone says when they see Kamry is something about her crazy blue eyes.  They seriously get cooler everyday.  So glad someone got Rick and Casey's eyes, they're pretty amazing!

 Eden Elise - 3 months

Eden is a super laid back, easy going baby.  I've said this before, but when you are the third child to two very active big sisters, you become laid back if you weren't to begin with.  Eden started sleeping 10 - 730 at 9 weeks, and just started her 2nd week of sleeping 7 - 730.  So thankful to have a few more zzz's around here.

Eden's latest discovery is her feet.  She can get ahold of them and almost get them to her mouth.  I love it when babies can grab their feet while they are on their backs, it's so cute!

She loves to look in the mirror and her big sisters are the greatest entertainment.  Sometimes while she's watching Kamry be Kamry, she'll give me this look like, "Well, what can you do?" 
Eden's rolled over once, but might be a little behind because we couldn't give her tummy time until about 7 weeks.  Poor stinker ended up with a broken left clavicle from delivery (ouch), which was surprising since she came so fast and in a push and a half.  But sometimes I wonder if because she came so fast she didn't quite get turned enough to get out and that's when it happened.  We'll never know for sure, but I'm so thankful it's healed and I barely can feel the bump anymore.

If we knew future children would be as easy as Eden, Casey says we'd have more.  I'm the one that has to deliver the babies, though, and I'm pretty sure I'm happy with three. :)   Honestly, God made us to be a family of five, and we are so happy with what he's blessed us with.
