Noelle asks me questions all the time like, "Where was I when you were a little girl?" and "Where is Granny?"  On the night these pictures were taken, she said, "I’m going to read my Bible and try to find out where heaven is."

She set this little prayer time up all by herself.  I walked in her room and it brought tears to my eyes.  She used her lamp from her dollhouse, some pretend water, pretend coaster and coffee, and her "table cloth." 

Noelle and I talk about loving God all the time, and she shows her love for Him in the purest ways.  She’s a really special little girl.

Maggie and Noelle "catching up!"

This is the best I could get of all four of the girls!

Ice cream time!!!

We are slowly getting back into new routines and rhythms since the move, surgeries, and holidays.  Nothing is quite normal around here yet, but we are working on it!

Noelle is ALWAYS "breast-feeding" her babies.  I’ve heard of little girls doing it, and thought it was weird, but now I think it’s really sweet and thoughtful.

Noelle found Rara’s sewing kit this weekend!  She kept telling us she was working on her "padryns." (patterns)

"Ta-da!"  "Prizes for everyone!!!"

The girls and I spent some time resting and relaxing after the busy holidays at Poppa and Rara’s last weekend.  It was so wonderful, but Mikey sure was happy to have us home. 

Anna Kate’s new favorite word is WOW!  She says it every waking hour.  It makes us laugh and smile and kiss her chubby cheeks until she’s all wet!  I wish you could hear her W-O-W!  I’ll never forget it!  Slow, drawn-out, methodical, perfect.
