The Three Musketeers

I love these three girls so much! Life would be so much less fun if our (GOOD) surprise baby had been raised "alone" in the family. What a blessing it is to have Julie and Ally close by and here so often. They spent the night Friday and I always enjoy listening to the three girls play. Like the other kids before them, they have such wonderful imaginations. Julie and Ally come over Tuesdays and Thursdays after school, and I'm so glad they like to be here and feel comfortable enough to just "veg-out" or flop on the couch or floor to do homework. They are also good sports about helping with chores on Saturday mornings or whenever I ask. Ally loves to help me cook and will end up being quite a good little chef someday I think. Julie never complains, no matter what I ask her to help with. And Maddie is a willing helper also.

I feel incredibly lucky and blessed to have so much of my immediate family close by. Only six more days till Amy gets home and then everyone will be living in Boulder City for the summer. I know it can't last forever, but for as long as it does, I'm going to enjoy it and be grateful!

Those girls are pretty cute! I love how they are so kind to Sydney. They always let her play with them.

What an adorable picture of the girls. I love how Julie is wearing Christmas tree earrings in March. That's so her.

Linda, the girls look so great. they are all very beautiful. it's been so long since i've been able to see them for a long period of time it's hard to beleive that they young ladies already. I hope to be able to see the girls again soon, but with what happened with Lori I don't think I'll ever get to see them again! Sorry!
