Look Who Got A New Bed!

Since we took Natalie’s crib down last year, we have been looking for an inexpensive twin size mattress. We had been unsuccessful during the garage sale season, and she continued to sleep on her crib mattress. Made no difference to her, it’s all she had known. But it made my mama heart sad to see her sleeping on an uncomfortable, very firm crib mattress! So last week I posted on Face*book that we were looking for one. It wasn’t very long and a friend of mine commented that they had one they were ready to give away. Wahoo! So we picked it up tonight and Miss Nat couldn’t be more proud. And I will rest easier tonight knowing that she is comfortable. Possibly more comfortable than me…it’s a really nice mattress!

Love it!

I took this of Miss Nat the other day. So sweet!! Love those eyelashes!

 

Pooltime!

Over the weekend Adam’s brother and sister-in-law were staying at a local hotel for a little getaway. We took the girls over on Saturday so they could enjoy the indoor pool with their cousins. Natalie didn’t swim very long because the water was pretty chilly. I think you’ll be able to tell that by looking at Adelle’s purple lips :)

Could It Be????

Could we really be DONE with diapers?

As much as I hate to admit it…someone is growing up. Last week we told Natalie that when the diapers were gone, we were not going to buy anymore. We got down to one diaper, so that morning when she woke up I took her potty and said that she was going to wear panties from now on. She looked in the basket where we keep the diapers and said, “But look Mommy, there is still one diaper left!” Ahh, the blessings of a very articulate child :) Nevertheless, she put the panties on and has done pretty well. She wakes up completely dry every morning! During the day we have to keep reminding her to go, or else we end up with wet pants – but it’s a hard adjustment after 3+ yrs of just peeing wherever and whenever you feel like it!

 

Saturday Sleigh Ride

On Saturday we went up to Shipshewana to hang out with my aunts and uncles at the Farmstead Inn. They were having a mini-reunion and my parents invited us to go swimming with the girlies. They had also arranged for a local Amish man to give sleigh rides to everybody. It was fun! The girls had a blast.

 

Some Recent Pics

I don't have a lot of time right now, just put the girlies to bed and headed out the door so I could email some pics to some VERY patient photography clients. I need to get home and make sure they are all still in bed :) What? Oh, of course they are not home alone, their daddy is there. But as soon as he hits the couch in the evening, he is O-U-T! So they could be running around like little heathens right about now. And probably are...oh boy, I better hurry :) Here are some recent pictures of my 3 beautiful girls. Enjoy!

And a recent photoshoot I had with an adorable 6 month old. I love how these turned out!!!

Helllllllooooo.......

I'm here! Is anybody out there? Should I try blogging again? Have you all given up on me? Can't post pictures because I'm at work, but I'll get some up tomorrow. I have some exciting photography opportunities coming up this week, hopefully I will find time to post some pix. My girlies are under the weather right now - coughing, fever, and tummy aches abound in the Polhemus household. Not fun for anybody! But I did get a nap today, only because they were all asleep too :)  I did manage to get the laundry and dishes done before I crashed, much to the delight of my husband. Well, maybe not delight...he doesn't seem like the type to delight in anything. But I'm sure he was thankful I didn't leave it all for him when I escaped went off to work this afternoon. Hey Janelle, are you reading this? You better be commenting, because this is all for you, girl! You too, Mom! I'm going to hit the hay now...I promise to come back tomorrow!
