The Babies Have Come!

Here's the "Before" picture of Della, me, Rachel, and Sara back in November, with our babies growing in us!



The "After" picture: Della had baby Clara, I had baby Isaac, Rachel had baby Benjamin, and Sara had baby Abigail.

Isaac has begun to suck his thumb, but not consistently yet. He's still learning how to find it on a regular basis. But here was the first time he sucked his thumb to put himself to sleep! It was great!

Isaac and December have both had their pictures taken -- Isaac's 3-month picture and December's 3-year picture. I can't WAIT to get them back! They both did really well at them, although Isaac was tired and wanted to go to sleep, and December was nervous about the new person/bright lights. But they both did some good smiles, and I'm really happy with how it all went! We just have to wait a while to get the pictures back...that's the hard part, waiting.

I'm excited about today, because we're going to the mall with Naomi and her two kids, Noah and Isaac, and we're going to get Naomi's ears pierced! It'll be so fun! And my watch battery needs to be looked at, so I'll do that while we're there, too. Not as fun, but necessary! Brad is doing well at school, although this semester is the most difficult of the entire three years of seminary -- so the seasoned students say. It's true. Brad's got six papers due this semester, and they're not the tiny little 5-pagers, either! It seems like the professors like to give papers that need to be anywhere between 15 and 20 pages in length. Yikes! I'm very impressed that Brad is able to write these things! He is very smart.
