Construction Site LIVE

A few weeks ago a watermain broke on our street.  Crews were out working off and on for an entire week to remedy the problem, providing hours of entertainment for the boys.  I even let them have a picnic by the window one night so they could keep tabs on the progress!  

Over the course of the week we decided the best vantage point was from the Master Bathroom on the 2nd floor - the boys would stand on the outside edge of the bathtub and take in the action.

Here are a few videos of the scene....

Gotta love free entertainment!

Line 'em up!!

Don't you just love kid line up pictures!?  I know I do!

This is picture #3 in the series of the Hohlen kids and the Engel kids :)

Next year we'll have an even number of boys & girls as Greichaly & Maryn will be added to the line!!

They just keep growing....

THREE months

Ok, where is the PAUSE button.  

I am absolutely adoring this three month stage and want to park here for a while longer... if only that were an option.  

At three months you:
-just started to share your laugh with us
-will smile for just about anyone :)
-have consistently slept 10-11 hours at night for a few weeks now
-have transitioned to sleeping in your crib
-are starting to show a little preference toward wanting your Momma (I'm not complaining!)
-eat 5 times a day (typically at 8, 11, 2, 5, 8 - give or take!!)
-are figuring out your hands and have started to grab and "play" with toys a bit
-aren't trying to roll over yet, you seem pretty content just to stay in one place (again, no complaints here!)


Basically, I think you are a dream baby and I am just adoring every minute of your life.  I know there will be rough days ahead (sickness, teething, potty training, tantrums, etc. etc) and I'll be there for you then, but for now I'm praising the Lord for a sweet baby girl who is spoiling me over and over.


Happy day baby girl!!
