The Gales: March 2015

Apparently, I was a little sick at the start of March. Sometimes when the nose won't stop running, you just gotta do what you gotta do. Jared always laughs at me, but it really helps with productivity, or at least makes the runny nose less of a nuisance.

Waiting a long time to blog isn't always the best because it is hard to remember what happened. But it is fun looking back at pictures.

Look at that beautiful smile!

We got a new dishwasher around this time. The girls had a great time with the box.

Having been down so much due to blood pressure, it took me awhile to get feeling normal again. There were still many times when the girls would join me. Rachel is a Mommy's girl, too. So she was often jealous of the time Miriam was getting. She wouldn't be mean to Miriam, but she definitely tried squeezing in to get her time with Mommy.

Rachel didn't pretend to breastfeed her baby dolls as much as I thought she would, but we did catch her doing it a time or two.

Buddy was really good with and around Miriam, but he also wanted attention and would squeeze in when he could.

Happy baby!

Cute Sisters

We are within walking distance of the elementary school that Allie would go to, Walker Elementary. We walked to the school to get the papers for kindergarten registration. They were very kind and let me get them early. They also told me that I could bring them back early so that I didn't have to come on the assigned registration day. I think they took pity on me. They knew that they wouldn't want to come with three little ones during the chaos. I really appreciated it.

When we were walking, some people thought Miriam was a baby doll at first.

The girls got some little creatures that grow when you put them in water. Once they were big, they wanted to play with them in the water. I finally let them have their fun in the bathtub one day. They were so incredibly happy.

More cute smiles before bedtime.

I cannot remember where Allie went, but she had something that Daddy took her to. So I took Rachel out for a smoothie.

Allie was the photographer at times. Here she caught me trying to sleep while Rachel was sleeping.

Whenever Daddy gets on the floor, the girls get on him. They usually play, jump, and be rough on him. This time they sort of relaxed on him.

Buddy came to investigate.

Allie had some fun hair!

I let the girls paint. They love to paint. I don't love the cleanup, but it's worth their joy. I just don't do it everyday.

We wore green for St. Patrick's Day.

I let Allie and Rachel go out to the backyard one day. Allie was playing on the play set, but I wasn't sure where Rachel was. I went out to investigate and found this.
