This is a close up of Maddie
All my girls on Thankgiving...
Playing together on the playmat.
Maddie and Kenzie's eyes open with mommy holding them. Things have been really crazy around here. It is hard to imagine what life is like with 3 children but I never could of imagined how busy it would keep me.... That being said, I still love it. Madalynn and Makenzie are doing good. Eating good... Sleeping good... and gaining weight well. At their last appointment they are already above their birth weights which is great! Maddie is 6 lbs 12oz and Makenzie is now 7lbs 1oz. I want them to gain weight and grow but there is another part of me that doesn't want them to get any bigger. With Kameryn we always wanted her to be bigger or walk or talk but this time around I am realizing that this is probably the last of the baby stage as a mother that I will witness and its a little sad. I just want to stop time and enjoy every moment but with being so busy it is hard.... We gotten the girls on a really good schedule. We have to wake them up for their night feedings. Luckily the doctor said that after they are a month old we can let them sleep and not wake them for feedings at night. Makenzie smiled at me today.... Although she and Maddie have been smiling in their sleep today was the first day I was holding her and I smiled at her and she smiled back several times. I was very happy!!
Kameryn is doing really well. She is excited for her christmas program at school next week. Hard to believe it is already almost December... I have been working with her on a bible verse that she has to learn for the program. It is funny listening to her repeat it. She had also been practicing the songs she has to sing. They are very cute! We are super excited to see the program. Kameryn is also still very excited about the babies. She is such the little mother around here. She is always wanting to hold the babies and kiss on them. She says everyday that she is so happy to have the babies at her house. I am very glad!
So Thanksgiving was good this year. We have a lot to be thankful for. We are soo thankful and blessed for our beautiful daughters. We are thankful that god gave us another chance to be parents again and know that the struggles that we went to get pregnant for a while was all worth it. I have always wanted to control and plan for every aspect of my life and over the last year I have realized that I can't. I had to rely on faith and love and the unexpected outcomes of life. Which was something that was really hard for me. I am very thankful for my husband as well. He has always loved and supported me through the years and he has given me 3 beautiful children to watch grow. That is the best gift I have ever received. He has also been very helpful while I have recovered and adjusted to my new life. We are very thankful for the support and help that we have received... I am not one to ever ask for help or advice but we are overwhelmed on how much people have been there for us. Whether it be to see the girls, bring over meals or just be there when we needed someone to talk to. We are very grateful for everything!

Wow, Mckenzie looks like your husband and Maddie looks like you. Too cool! Glad to hear they are well. We used to have to wake Logan for his feedings . . . now he's five months and gets up at 3 am all on his very own. ;)
