We've had some fun changes take place over the past few weeks! First, our 3 Chicas are all resting comfortably in their NEW rooms! We went back and forth, but ultimately decided to bunk Nat & Gigi together and give Olivia Nat's old room. That way, we keep a separate "guest room" when company comes! So...lots of organizing, furniture moving, spray-painting and crafting later, we've moved them into their new rooms a couple weeks ago. Natalie & Gianna l.o.v.e. being roommates and Olivia is happy as a peacock in her own space (and out of mommy & daddy's room:)
The girls have been doing great lately. Olivia has a bit of a cold, but is still in a constant state of happiness...it's contagious. Their school director told me that Olivia was hands-down the h.a.p.p.i.e.s.t. baby she has ever seen (I bet she tells all the moms that - heehee)
Natalie is helping us with Gianna's BGPT (big girl potty training). She's such a great & supportive big sister. As I did when Natalie was potty training, I won't embarrass Gigi by giving too many BGPT details, but let's just say that Gianna is taking her time and will decide on her OWN when she's good & ready :) That's our Gigi...headstrong and adorably spunky. She's making big strides and loves wearing her BGP's (big girl panties).
Let's see, what else? I've had a lot of weddings & families to photograph lately, and Clay has been terrific with watching the precious lil munchkins. I walked in the door a couple weeks ago from a photo shoot, and I noticed that my great-grandmother's dining table was broken in half. "Hmmmm, that's interesting", I thought. (My actual thoughts are too graphic to post here:) Clay told me that while he was tending to Olivia, Gianna apparently decided to "dance the night away"...on a gorgeous piece of antique furniture. Ahhhh, sweet Gigi. You are one of a kind and we love you to pieces...just like my table is now - in pieces. ha
We have Christmas photos to post, but for now here's a few of the girl's rooms. Olivia is sleeping in the same crib that Clay had as a baby...amazing. My parents came up last weekend to celebrate my mother's 29th birthday (Happy 60th Mamacita!). We loved seeing them.
I still pinch myself that we are blessed with these 3 sweet precious girls. Each day is different and we love them more and more. As busy & all-consuming as it can be at times, I really wish they would stay this age forever. As someone wise once said, "...We only have this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake."
More blogging to come...
Much love to all of you,
The Pats
