Guests from the West.

That's a picture taken at Grandma and GRandpa's house of all of the girls.

As I said earlier, Grandma Val was scheduled to arrive on the 7th, but at the last minute Auntie Booze and Lizzy came along too! Grandma Val had her hands full with all of her Grandchildren vying for attention. And because of the babies who wake up in the night, Jen had a fan in her room and we had a fan in our room (which we shared with Rose), so we would drown out the noise. This left Grandma Val on Paige duty in the family room. Paige wakes up a couple of times a week in the night now....luckily not every night, like she used to.

The weather in January isn't conducive to getting out very much, and with the 2 babies, we stuck around the house for the most part. But with all of the girls it was busy and noisy and a lot of fun. Well, until Paige got some sort of stomach bug. That was kind of a bummer. She got really squirrely stayhing home and missing her class, but there was lots to keep her entertained.

It's sad to think that we won't see Lizzy for another 6 months. She'll be so huge and walking and talking. She started to wave and clap while at our house which was so nice to witness. Can't wait to see everyone again in the summer. Feels so empty around the house now, and I miss having Rose sleep in our room. We are forunate enough to go for long visits in the summer, which makes up in part for long times apart.
