A BOY IS

TRUTH with dirt on his face,

BEAUTY with a cut on his finger,

WISDOM with bubble gum in his hair,

and theHOPE of the future with a
frog in his pocket.

LITTLE GIRLS

Little girls are made of daisies and butterflies and soft kitty cat purrs

And all the precious memories of times that once were.

Little girls are made of angel's wings and giggles and a firefly's glow

And all the happy feelings, deep inside, that we all know.

Little girls are made of cinnamon and bubbles and fancy white pearls

And snowflakes and rainbows and ballerina twirls.

Little girls are made of sunshine and cupcakes and fresh morning dew,

And these are the reasons, little one, why everyone loves you.

A delivery

I felt like I had a baby shower in a box yesterday. My sister Kelly sent me a ton of Ava's clothes, newborn, 0-3 and 3 months. It was so wonderful taking out outfit after outfit and then seeing all the pink and purple and ruffles all over the couch! My mom also sent some really cute outfits for both the twins! Don't worry little Mr is not neglected in the clothes department he has so many left from William! Some even still have tags! It's funny how you think you will need so many clothes at the beginning but since you are kinda homebound onsies and sleepers are the clothes of choice! I'm thinking the babies and I will be stuck here for a while. Since it will be cold and flu season we will be pretty much quaranteened!

I am so lucky, my list is dwindling so fast! I am just going to pick up a going home outfit for each baby and some fancy frilly dresses and I am good with clothes for the 1st 3 months or so! :)

Thanks to Melissa and her little girl who passed on their bumbo seat and tray! I LOVE these so much and will love having the twins close to me sitting in it while I cook dinner.

And a mom in my church who has triplets has offered us her stroller and carseats. So grateful! I am going to need a triple stroller as William will still be so little and to get one that takes carseats is so expensive it's a bit daunting to think about!

We still have quite a bit more to get but the list is dwindling and getting more manegable!

All clothes sorted:

From Grandma:

newborn outfits:

0-3month outfits:

3 months:

sleepers:

hats, socks, and holiday outfits - Easter, St pats, 4th of July etc:

I love getting these kind of "showers!" I got a box the other day that was just full to the brim of baby girl clothes-- Marianne & Brie & I had a blast taking them all out and sorting them and imagining how cute our baby girl is going to look.
