Angel Baby. That's her nickname. I mean, she has angel everything. Angel hair. Angel face. Angel personality. Angel smile. Angel hunnies (It's impossible for this baby to get diaper rash. Lucky girl.) She's an angel all over. I feel like she glows sometimes. She's that kind of a baby who's mellow but loves to be snuggled. I could hold her all day long. And sometimes I do. Mmmmm.
EDIT: When Ben saw this picture posted he said, "That's a really great picture you took of yourself." ?????????
My three. Triple mmmmm.
Notice the necklace that Ella's wearing. You'll never guess which adoring sibling put that on her.
Things I Don't Want To Forget:
- Prayers that include "Please help us to go to sleep during church time," and "Please bless Jesus to sleep well," and "Please bless Mia (aka my parents' dog)", and -- my personal favorite -- "Please bless Jesus to be good."
- Lily attempting to put lip gloss on Ella behind my back.
- The kids freaking out if they don't get to give Ben a hug before he heads out to work.
- Lily and Skyler being dance partners on a daily basis.
- That if I have a million things in my lap when I'm sitting down that Skyler will still manage to wiggle his way in. And that he steals my blankie every day.
- That Ella stops crying as soon as she sees you come in the room and that she's been like this since birth.
- That they will ask me to say a special prayer if they think there are monsters in their room.
- That Lily will yell at Ben for saying "stupid" (which is a bad word at our house) and she never catches it when I accidentally say it.
- That when I'm tired and I close my eyes on the couch, Skyler will tuck me into my blanket a little more and lightly rub my face.
Between the Three of Them:
- 23.5 hours of labor
- 27 months of pregnancy
- Countless sleep deprived nights
- Who knows how many bajillion dollars spent
- A million other sacrifices
Totally worth it. 100%.

No doubt about it - your kids are cute, loving, entertaining, energetic, and thoughtful. Where do you think they got that from, hmmm? Here's my breakdown:
cute - from both grandmothers and you.
loving - from both parents and all grandparents.
entertaining - from you and Ben.
energetic - that one's easy - from Brenda.
thoughtful - again I'm thinking this comes from both parents and all grandparents.
You guys are a cute, happy family. Love you!
Well I'm totally filled with warm fuzzies now...and that includes the comment from your dear father. And I do have to admit that when I first looked at that second picture I saw you too, not Lily. My brain immediately shifted to recognize that it was Lily but I had to do a double-take.
Haha! Your three kids took up as much labor time as Charlie did! I was in labor for 23 hours with him. Does that mean I have the equivalent of 3 kids? Haha... just kidding. Charlie always has just wanted to do things on his own time. I love your sweet little family! <3
