The Ls…

First up – let’s announce the winner of the giveaway from Baby Unit – an awesome online store that had asked me to work on some images for them.

I love this stuff! Went to check it out right away and also couldn’t find the coats or dresses??? Also can’t remember my password to email her to ask! haha! Will try again later!! Lacey and Lyla are super cute models by the way 😉

 

Shannon, congratulations! E-mail me and we will work out the details! 🙂

And now on to some photos … I stumbled across an ad for this antique baby buggy earlier last week and after much anticipation, finally purchased it this morning! Yeah! I LOOOVE it. Just imagine all those lovely newborns coming up snuggled deeply and beautifully within this gorgeous carriage …

 

So I decided to give it a test run on my girls … all summer long, I’ve been waiting for THAT shot – the shot of all three girls that I can use for Christmas presents and more … I think I finally got it. (*sigh*)

Lacey is five, Lyla is three and Lucia is 1 … they are my Ls, my loves, my life.

 

Can you tell Lucia is teething – she really wanted to suck those fingers tonight …

Lacey has been working so hard to be a great big sister – her acts of kindness melt my heart. 
The other day, she proudly told me she had just changed Lucia’s diaper for me –  I was shocked and then delighted! 😉 She actually did a great job and when I told her so, she promptly said, “Well, then can I start babysitting?”

 

If only, child, if only. I could actually save up for Disney world then!

She’s doing such a great job as the eldest sister and although I don’t want to rush her to grow up, I’m also so proud of how she helps mommy out …

– but sometimes, she tries just a little tooooo hard …

Speaking of sweet – our little Sweet Pea Lucia is just sprouting and breaking my heart all at the same time … it’s so bittersweet to see your baby grow so quickly – but no matter what, she’ll always be my baby …

and Lyla – well, the thing about Lyla is NEVER EVER wake her up. Seriously. She should have “Danger: Do not wake sleeping child. Do so at your own personal risk” stamped across her little forehead. She wakes up as a big, crabby, black grizzly bear … so tonight, when she fell asleep on the ride to the location, I was very nervous …

 

Thankfully, she woke up cuddly and not crabby. (PHEW!)

but she wouldn’t come out of the stroller – she was too cold, she said … but I got this quick photo when she popped her head up to see what was going on …

Lacey also took this image for me so I could show my BFF, who lives in Texas, my hair … what do you think? I think my mother-in-law thinks I’m nuts … but pink is my favorite colour, after all!

Mom Love the story lines, Gillian! Yes, Lacey told me that other day, what she wants to be when she grows up. A babysitter!! ha ha AND a swimming instructor! I think that is because she loves Katelyn so much 😀 All the girls are so precious! I love your hair too, Gillian. It suits you!! And Abby is an endearing father 😀 xoxo
