More Mandie-Pie

Amanda is sure an easy baby so far! She sleeps tons, and for long stretches too! She only wakes up once at night mostly, it's so nice! She doesn't like laying flat very much, but she does like her swing, and she takes pacifiers really well, especially when she's trying to get to sleep.

She has her first check-up tomorrow, which is also the kids' last day of school. Mandie's very excited to meet her Rowley grandparents this weekend. Yay!

So, here's some pics.
This first one is one of my favorites so far.

Here she is with her ultra-helpful big sister! Nat really wants to be able to dress the baby, but hasn't quite succeeded yet. She's very good at the holding part though.



I just think Jess looks really cute in this one.



Aw! Holding Nat's hand.

Woohoo!

Jason's parents rock! Between my pregnantness and Jason's back, our front yard was in a sad, sad state. But Jason's mom weeded it this week AND his dad finished hooking up our sprinkler system! We're going to have a decent front yard! Things like this cause me great joy.




And that's not all. Jason and his mom finally busted out the paint that they bought over 2 years ago and finished painting the outside of the basement!











What do you guys think?

Manda and the Kids

We love our sister!

This one's kinda sad, they all look like such ragamuffins! But I wanted to be sure to get a picture of all of them on our first day. I wonder how long it'll be before I can actually get all of them looking nice at the same time . . . .

Here are a few pics of Amanda, later I'll post some of her with the kids!
