Snazzy for church

Today the 5 of us ventured out to church for the first time since the new year. At the end of my pregnancy I was too uncomfortable and tired to go and with the birth of Peanut I've been too tired and nervous to go. So at 16 days old she made it into the worship service for the first time. Pastor Doug introduced her to the entire congregation stating "Delaney, Daughter of Jess and Kathy, is now our youngest member" and then pointed straight at me. Holy old people! Mann after that we were completely swarmed with old people cooing at her. Oh and the crib nursery staff offered for us to leave her in the nursery next week! Oh yeah I totally think not...I"m not even sure the little one will be going back to church for a few weeks...let alone being left in the nursery! Anyway here is a picture of her in her church duds :)



In big girl news... because I'm sure some of you are wondering how they are doing. Charlotte is doing really well at school. She is making new friends and regaining some old ones. She's actually having a sleep over with two old buddies next weekend. She is improving by leaps and bounds at basketball and starting to enjoy it more each time...although she's not really digging the hard work involved in playing a sport. Julia just completed her 100th day of 1st grade...she even got to perform a nifty little 100th day song for the kindergartners. She went to a birthday party this weekend and had TONS of fun. She is excited for the spring to arrive so that soccer starts up. She was recruited to an all girls team in our area called the Pink Cheetahs. She is stoked to get started on this new adventure. Both girls are adjusting well to the new baby and both love her so very much...they actually can't stop kissing her head, wanting to hold her, wanting to feed her, and wanting to change her diapers (although we're waiting for the novelty of diapers to fade).

We have found our new normal and although it can be a bit overwhelming at times...all 5 of us are happy as can be... it's kind of cool to say that we have 5 girls living under one roof! Bring on the estrogen :)
