Abby is 4 weeks old today already
These are my 4 sweet babies --
They have 4 different little personalities,
4 little faces,
4 sweet smiles,
4 times the silliness,
4 times the energy,
and 4 times the FUN!!!

Phillipians 4:4 says
"Rejoice in the Lord, ALWAYS, and again I say rejoice!"
I'm so joyful with my 4!!!

Just Hanging Out


This is just some misc pictures of us hanging out and loving on our sweet girl lately.  Abby is  2-3 weeks old here and starting to gain some weight, stay awake for  longer periods, and so incredibly loved by all 3 big brothers!!  I am so thankful that they all have been so welcoming and loving to their baby sister -- it has made it such a smooth transition!  I pray that they always have good sibling relationships and love each other!

 Seth getting a kiss in -- he is always saying "Inna HOLD her.  Inna KISS her!!" (I want to hold/kiss her.)  So sweet!
 Awe, Daniel, a smile for the camera!!  And I love how she's looking up at him!
 Bright-eyed!

All swaddled up for bed -- she loves being swaddled (just like her brothers did)
 Daniel and Abby catching a little nap on the couch
 Luke had decided to get out and old fireman costume, and I am pretty sure he wore it for the better parts of ~3 days!

 My brown-eyed girl!
 Luke likes to take pictures -- so here is one of me and Abby!

Big Bros Love Lil Sis!

Here are some fun and cute pictures of the kiddos in their matching shirts that I made for them -- the boys say "Big Bro" with their names, and Abby's says "Lil Sis Abby".  It has super bright and fun colors on the material, and I was really happy with how they turned out.  And they all seem to really like wearing theirs!
As for taking the pictures, 3 out of 4 kiddos were happy to participate -- 1 decided that he did NOT want to get his picture taken... you'll figure it out!  Ha!  
Enjoy!

Sweet Abby - 1.5 weeks old!
 Luke LOVES this girl!


 Did you guess right?  Ha!

 Thankfully he came around by the end of the little photo session...
my 4 sweet little munchkins!

And a few of just baby sister...

 I love those little baby toes!


 Pretty girl!
 It's so neat to see how feminine and delicate she is while still looking alot like her brothers!
