These pictures are already six weeks old…. But better late than never!

Here are our three kids.

Pace & I still have to remind ourselves that we have three children; that all of these little children belong to us. There are times when it hits us, like when a car ride or a dinner time is incredibly loud with children sounds. Or when we get to Home Depot & our clunky, car-shaped shopping cart is already full of kids before we even start the regular shopping (but Caroline sure loved the steering wheel so it was worth it).

Caroline is very mobile now & very fast. Chase & Charlotte are both helpful with keeping the stairs blocked off, such as when Charlotte sprawls out across the edge of the stairs to create a human baby gate. They also help by creating barricades/makeshift playpens like this:

Caroline is kind of wondering what to do in this limited space.

They are a funny little bunch.

Chase & Caroline are the two that look the most alike, in my opinion! Caroline still adores her big brother & seems to be quite content with him.

Caroline also loves this big sister, although Caroline won’t allow poor Charlotte to hold her. She is perfectly fine in Chase’s arms, but whenever Charlotte tries to hold her, Caroline cries & squirms. It’s like she senses that the arms holding her are not very secure or something. Hm.

Gotta love the panty bum + rain boots look that Charlotte’s sporting.
