Faith Week - Friday

Last day of faith week is a biggie:  crazy hair day.

And crazy face day too apparently.

Faith week - Thursday

Mallory = beach day
Sophie = sports day

I can't wait to explain to sophie the disappointment and heartache of being a vikings fan.

Cousin Fun

The Flaherty cousins get a little roudy sometimes. Tonight, they were practicing group cohesion ... the group hug ...

the pile up ...

the hog pile ...

Middle and Little

Sophie and Bree enjoy some quality snuggle time. 

Faith Week

It's a busy week for both girls at school. It's Catholic Schools Week (Mal) and Lutheran Schools Week (Sophie). Everyday each of them has a different theme. Monday was Frozen day for Sophie and sports day for Mallory. Today, Tuesday, it's comfy day for Mallory and favorite color day for Sophie. 

Stay tuned for the rest of the week. Hopefully I get each day right for both of them!

Work must get done

Bree was having a rough day yesterday and wanted constant contact. HLO had to get some work out the door. The solution ...

Big and Little

Mallory and Bree enjoyed some quiet time together relaxing this weekend. 

At least until Sophie came and jumped on Mallory! (No photo of that as I was restqining Sophie from further jumping.)

Dress up fun

Mal and Soph raided the playroom and came out looking like this ... 

Sick bay

Poor Bree had her first cold this week. This is how she spent much of the week. 

Thank goodness she's on the mend. 

Story time

Mallory and Sophie love sharing nightly story time with Bree. The question is always who gets to hold her. 

Thankfully they are good at taking turns. 

Exhausted

Being a baby is hard work. Poor Bree is exhausted. 

Selfie

Sophie took her first selfie this weekend. Pretty impressive...

Family Time

Bree got to meet her Aunt Jill today. 

She also got to meet and play with her cousins, Hailey, Brady and Colin (the Murray's). 

This group looks like trouble!

Two Weeks Old

Bree is 2 weeks old already. She has grown to 7lbs 11ozs and lengthened by 1/4 inch. 

Making Poppa Proud

Poppa Jim would be very proud of this sight ...

Hard work

Being a baby is hard work. Bree sure makes it look easy ...

3 Peas in a Pod

These girls can't get enough of each other. 

It's Friday

Bree is a week old already! It was a fast week. We are all ready for the weekend. Friday meant bus-o-mom for the first time with all three ...

All smiles. I think it went well. 

Growing girl

Our littlest lady is growing. She's up to 7lbs 2ozs! 

Braving the Elements

First Dr. visit in the subzero temps required Bree to get all bundled up...

Eyes wide open

Four days old and Bree's starting to keep her eyes open for longer periods. It's fun to watch her track voices. I wonder what she's thinking with all the noise at the house. 

School Night

The girls helped Bree settle right into the school night routine of reading books. 

What a beautiful trio ... 

Family of 5

Here we are, now a family of 5 ...

It's a girl ...

Bree Lynne Held was born January 2 at 12:41am; 6lbs 14ozs and 20 inches.
