Pretty, Happy, Funny, Real

A BABY AND HER BROTHERS


{PRETTY}

                                                          Luke likes to be Very Close.



{HAPPY}

                                                Joseph is happy ; not sure about Addie...

{FUNNY}

                                                         Rees and the Cube of Rubic.

The "Nanny dog"  must not be left out ; Addie doesn't even care that her head is ON THE FLOOR!



{REAL}

                                          John insists that this is the Magic Position.



And some great comments from the boys ~

Luke :  "Mom, do you know why I love your insides"?   (I'm thinking some sort of poetry like, 'you love me ; you're kind ; you make good food').  Answer?  "You grew us baby Addie".   Definitely poetic!


Joseph, patting my still-rounded midsection :  "Mo' baby?"


Ian : "Can you guys start another baby today so that we can have another one in 9 months?"  (I thought the teens would  D.I.E. !)


John, after arriving home from exercising the horses for Aurora Equine Therapy : "Jessie (the horse) tripped and fell over and I fell, too, and Debbie said that it was a good thing I was using a Western saddle because the horn kept Jessie from rolling onto me and breaking my back."   The other kids breathed in unison, "Cool"!


And the best news of all?  After 1 week of giving her digestive enzymes before every nursing, Addie has put on 14 ounces ~ just about a pound in a week!


So all these comments are what I'd share on Facebook, if I wasn't staying away for Lent ; also if I could find the time to sit down and write a real, polished post about something important.  Pictures and funnies are all I can manage. 


More real life here.

Happily,
Allison
