Some girl & family time

On Friday after Clara went to preschool, Marissa and Molly came over as well as their friends Emily and Owen. They are so sweet!!

 

After the kiddos crawled around and entertained themselves for a little while, the six of us went to Jason's Deli for lunch, yumm. We enjoyed discussing a huge range of topics, including some funny family stories :)

Molly snacking on Owen's high chair

 We stopped by the house for just a little longer to play before I went to go pick up Clara and Emily dropped Marissa off at Lulu & Papa's house. 

it looks like Goose is sitting on Owen!

Emma just relaxed :)

 Once we joined the family at Lulu & Papa's we enjoyed some time outside.

Love this picture of my brother and his daughter

haha

 All six of the crazies!! (plus the giraffe and a cracker as Auntie M pointed out!)

How do I define chaos, you ask?

Giving Papaw a kiss AND sharing her snack with him!

I so so so enjoyed having Meemaw and Papaw visit this past weekend too! I love seeing the girls interact with them. Thank you for coming! It meant a lot to me.

Emma doing what she does best.

3 canine compadres!

This is the mess of puppies and babies we live with! :)

1, 2, 3, 4!

Four weeks old today!

I'm crazy I think.

I'm losing my mind. I posted about this past Thursday twice. I promise the next time I post about their visit it will be about a different day :)

Crazy lady. Mom of 2 small children. Same thing :)

G+M3 meet Emma!

Yesterday Grady, Marissa, Molly and Murphy arrived!! I've been so looking forward to their visit, and Clara has too - saying "hi" to their pictures on the wall for the last week :)

When 3 fabulously adorable cousins get together, one MUST get fabulously adorable pictures. 

At least one must when they are the mother of 2 of said children and addicted to adorable pictures :)

How sweet are these three!?

And one more with Papa and Lulu:

I have no idea how Emma slept through most of those!!

Clara and Molly playing with an Easter egg:

Molly meeting cousin Emma

Hanging out with Uncle G

Papa has an exciting shiny watch!

Auntie M and Emma-Girl

Watching Clara and Molly play and interact was pretty cool! I think Clara understood Molly was little and not quite as capable so she "showed her the ropes" so to speak. 

Sign language for "plant"

Papa & Clara being silly

Love!

Hehehehehe

What's in there, Molly?

We have the entire weekend to live up some family time, so I'm sure there's more to come!

Outnumbered.

Sister Problems

When you look adorable and then Daddy takes the paci away. (Man is that paci gonna be hard to get rid of!)

Phew. Emma rescued, and Clara placated. 

Then Mommy had (probably too much) fun playing with the camera settings :)

The next 2 seriously crack me up :)

Well, that was exciting! Sheesh Mom. 

They'll have to match again when Clara has forgotten about the paci :)

Emma Snuggles

I had a rough day today. I'm really not feeling well, and I'm super tired. It's hard for me to keep up with everyone and everything when all of the energy is zapped. Plus I have a meeting tomorrow I'm not looking forward to very much, and I'm positive that's contributing to the stress level and headache I've got. Please pray that goes smoothly. (Well, I doubt "smooth" is an option, but please pray for better-than-expectations :)

THANKFULLY I got to get plenty of snuggles with my littlest girl-child, which help!!

We actually went through 3 different outfits today (2 are featured above) because little missy has a pee-on-herself-situation happening fairly regularly, which is okay with me because she's going to outgrow all of these cute outfits so soon anyway! and it's not like her laundry takes up much room, haha.
