Busy with Three

This past weekend Marc and I babysat for some friends who were busy packing to head to Mali, Africa this week. They have a little girl who is five months older than Hailey. This family will be going with us to Africa next year for the fellowship and we consider them some of our dearest friends! We are going to miss them over the next six weeks.

Overall, I think Marc and I handled three pretty well, but I should probably fess up and say that all three of them were never awake at the same time. :) I enjoyed taking some pictures of Gracie while Eli and Hailey were napping. She is such a happy and easy going baby.

Gracie has some WILD hair these days. :)

We spent the rest of Saturday running some errands and then went out for some Mexican food. Eli was being quite difficult at dinner. He was really trying Marc's patience when he grabbed his glass of water and dumped it on the table. Yikes! There were two families with older children (all boys) sitting at the table behind us and one mom told the other mom that that ("that" being my Eli most certainly acting his terrible two age) was the reason she decided she didn't want to try for a girl. Ha! Thanks ma'am for the encouragement while we were mopping up our table and enjoying our water soaked chips. Well, you take the good with the bad I guess. :)

He doesn't look ornery now, does he???

Hailey decided she was better off staying put in her carrier and she thankfully stayed dry there. :)

Well, if you are like us and many others in the country, you are SNOWED in. Enjoy the snow day and stay warm!!!
