It's been awhile!

Ever since Hailey and Madeline came to stay with us, I have barely had time to blog! Here's a brief rundown on what has been happened with our family since June 22nd:

1. Last week Maddie turned 5. We celebrated with a pool party with a "Princess" theme. Not Disney princesses, though--Victorian princesses! The girls wore their best period costume and had a tea party, and everyone had a lot of fun. We are now officially up to our ears in girlie paraphernalia. Hailey and Maddie's bio dad was supposed to come out on the day of but he couldn't make it. He came out on Thursday and we did dinner together. The next time we'll see him is for our court date in September.

2. Lucy turned one month old two days later. At her one month appointment she weighed 7 pounds and was 20 inches long, so she's growing pretty well. She is now smiling and lifting her head--she's a very animated baby. She is still breastfeeding and doing very well with that. Now that the first month is over, we are feeling strong and confident about carrying on.

3. We have been on the road with daddy for two weeks now and everybody is having a lot of fun. We have a lot more hotel dates on this tour, which I am appreciative of...three little girls, seven guys, and I are a little too much! It has been a lot of fun. We will be home for a short period of time next week and then back on the rest of the circuit.

That's all for now! More soon.
