She's so precious

One Month.....

Can you believe she's one month old already?

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

love from, 

Caeden, Colm and Alannah

Alannah just looking cute

The following pictures are from the "Fisk family" Christmas get-together - it was quite a crowd at Uncle Ben's house with 16 adults and 9 grandkids, all under 5 years old! 

Caeden recieved this little car and spent quite a bit of time pushing it around on the floor, we haven't told him yet it takes batteries and will go by itself.......... :-)

The kids made themselves comfortable wherever

Singing Happy Birthday to Jesus, all the kids except Alannah who was peacefully sleeping in someone's arms.

Accomplishments

It always feels good to accomplish something on your to-do list. Especially when you are taking care of 3 children. And getting it crossed off before it "absolutely has to be done" is always nice too!

I always think of mom when I get the new stockings made, I have many, no make that an occasional memory of her working on the latest stocking as I went to bed on Christmas Eve. Aren't you so proud of me Mom?

Besides the Christmas tree, this is about the extent of the decorations around here, With 2 little boys running around, things at their level aren't very smart unless you really want to spend all day discipling them for touching it!

We also made gingerbread men, we didn't use real gingerbread though, cause Kieran likes carrot cake better and if I am going to the "trouble" of making cake I might as well make what he likes :-) Caeden was insistent that they have hearts. 

I tried this pose again after I found a red hat for her to wear............. isn't it so sweet?

Okay mom, this is getting boring...........

Makes ya wonder what she was thinking!

Can Photoshop change the direction of Caeden's eyes? This would have been really cute if he had been looking at me!

It's hard to look at the camera when your baby sister is right there, she's alot more fun!

3 Weeks

Isn't this just too precious? The bears are as big as she is! 

The little princess Alannah is 3 weeks old today. She is a wonderful baby. Very easy going and usually very patient. She is so good about waiting to eat till I can sit down and often will lay in her bed just looking around till I can pick her up. She's napping well and gives me a good 4-6 hour stretch during the first part of the night. Varies a little depending on when she last feeds and goes down for the night, but usually doesn't get up for her first feed after I go bed till at least 1 am. She still looks alot like her brothers, especially when she is sleeping. But I think she has her own little look and personality when she's awake and looking around. She is nursing well and is finally fitting into the newborn sizes pretty good. The 0-3 months stuff is still a little big on her. Her brothers love her and often say hi or want to see her, especially when she's awake. They are doing good too. Colm is still fighting a bit of a cough and runny nose. Caeden had a touch of it, but doesn't seem to have gotten it like Colm did. I wanted to take some more Christmas pictures of the 3 of them, but both boys have somehow managed to get little scrapes on their noses and chins, so we are going to wait till next week and see if they look any better!
