Model babies

We took the babies for their first photo shoot:








P.S. Eleanore is saying she is "2" not "peace." Also, I thought I was so prepared and great planner by having Eleanore's clothes ironed and brought her in her jammies so they wouldn't get dirty on the way there. Well we got there and realized I left them home. So, although she is probably too old to be a diaper baby, I thought is was cuter than her candy cane jammies for our family pic.
We love our girls and are enjoying life as a family of 5, but aren't getting much sleep (last night I think I got about 1 hour total). That's okay, it is totally worth it and I keep telling myself to not wish this time away -- I know it is precious. Even if I am tired.
More candid photos to come. :)

As I already said... LOVELY. They are beautiful girls... and I am envious looking at the pics. Hope I get 3 girls someday- I just adore baby girls!! They will have so much fun as sisters... we should know, right? Em you are so amazing & awesome. I just am in awe to watch you keep up with life... and even still answer the phone for my annoying questions. You are such a good mom... these kids will have such a special experience being so close in age in your home. I know you will do great- I just hope you get some sleep sometime. I know you're not a "napper" but I hope that you'll take every second you can get- day or night. Be sure to take care of those sweet girls' mama (and my sister)! Love you lots... really, REALLY, wish I were closer right now.

Beautiful pictures. You look so grat, and El is such a great mix of you and Bryan, she's beautiful. As for the twins, they are so amazing. Oh I can't believe you, you're awesome. One hour of sleep last night?!? Oh man I feel for you . I hope that a schedule will soon emerge. Love ya lots.

Looking at Eleanore's newborn picture on the sidebar and your twins makes me realize even more how small Ivy is. From those pics I think all three of your girls look completely different. You have some precious photos that have captured the girls in that newborn phase that goes by way too fast.

I, too, hope you can get the rest you need. I can not imagine how hard it must be to care for more than one baby but you are an amazing mom that I am sure will do wonderfully.

Cute pictures of all of you. You forget how tiny babies are, and then you see them snuggled on Byran's arm and it puts it all in perspective.
Hang in there guys, just remember there are stages, and you will eventually outgrow this one and get more sleep.... hopefully. ;)

I love those pics. I especially love the family pic. (I am probably the least observant person, but I didn't notice Eleanore was in her diaper too.) They turned out very cute and you all look so great. I hope you get some more sleep in the days and weeks to come :)

Oh yeah, I just love Ivy's "skin wrinkles" on her arm in that first picture. So cute!

What amazing photos! My heart feels so full and when I see your beautiful family. Thank you for sharing. I think of you a lot. I hope the sleep increases! I don't know how you can stay so optimistic!
