Today is Amelia's 4 week birthday. Last night, it finally occurred to me (after 4 weeks) that I don't have any pictures of my three favorite girls together. I've thought about taking a picture of all of the girls several times over the last few weeks, however, Claire and Meredith typically look something like this while hanging out at home:

I think there is something oxymoronic about this photo.

Notice the striped tights and the Barbie sandals.

Let's just say that they really like to choose their own outfits (which is fine at home), but they typically aren't "photo shoot" outfits. So, last night, I was feeling extremely guilty for not having any pictures of all three of my children together. (Gina would have been SO on top of this type of thing....please don't disown me as your SIL.) Anyway, while everyone was in their pjs, I grabbed the camera for a few pics. I'll definitely get some better settings/outfits in the future, but this will do for now! It just seems like when everyone looks good, we're running late to wherever we're going. And by the time we get back, people are hungry and look frazzled! Who can relate?

On a side note, I was outside taking pictures of the new siding today (I'll post them soon), and I am just so excited! We have a fantastic lilac bush next to the garage! Josh was excited that I was excited. After the poison ivy and all of the mosquitoes last week, he said I needed something to get excited about here in the great outdoors. If you put your nose up to the screen, you can almost smell the sweet scent :)
