ooooooooh, baby four.

there are lots of reasons, people take long breaks from their blogs......
and many of mine- have to do with this delicious tiny girl:



enchanting? yes!
delightful? yes!
but also life scrambling.....



another mama, smart with years...& with more kiddos than i....said to me, when i said to her:
we're having a fourth!
"ooooooooooooohh." {insert wiser, knowing smile}



and her words...or lack there of...have run thru my head time and time again.
oooooooooooohhh....i have thought.
this is what she meant.
four littles in six years....ooooooooohh. {insert my-now-much wiser, knowing smile}



sorry, i must jump from my thoughtful mama refrain....
and just point out her chubby, lubby legs.

good gracious.

mbaby number 4...you are a treasure.
so although your addition's sure scrambled our party....



we sure like you......
very much so.
