In the meantime... we took some pictures of the girls. Grandma Jenkins (the great supplier of most all things adorable) sent an incredible package of matching dresses and pants for the girls. We got it Saturday, so OF COURSE we had to wear them on Sunday. And take pictures. So these are from Old Navy. We have more pictures to take next week of the next matching set of dresses.
We're all doing well. The transition from student life to REAL life has been rough. Much harder than we anticipated, but we'll get it, right? Right. Breathe in, breathe out. Abigail has many friends that she loves, I have many friends that I love, Jesse has many friends... that he loves... does that sound weird? And Claire has many friends. So as far as friends, we're great.
Claire had her ninth month appointment today. She's healthy as ever. She's a lot smaller than Abby was at this age. She's 90% for height, but barely 50% for weight. Really? She's a tank at home.. but somehow she's losing her belly. Anyway. She's crawling, pulling herself up, saying "mama" and "dada" all of the time, and sleeping like a dream. She's every bit as active as Abby was... wonderful foreshadowing, yeah?
And...... drum rolll....... PICTURES!
Ah, lovely Abby. Such a choice, delicate creature. NOT. She's practicing the Haka to do with Seth when he gets back from NZ.We're super grateful to be in this spot in our lives right now. Heavenly Father has definitely watched over us and helped us every step of the way. What would we do without His help? I'm so grateful that He extends his mercy to us. Jesus Christ lives. And He wants us to be happy. With all of the blessings we've been given, how can we not be happy?
Loves to all,
Me
P.S. Have you checked out the Study Notebook on lds.org? Super genius and incredible help. Go. Look. ...Now.

Miss you and those cute girls so so much!!!!!!!
if you go private add me! I Love reading your blog and seeing your adorable family! <3
All the pictures.....beautiful. Haka picture.....priceless!
Super cute dresses! We may have to make a trip out to Old Navy :)
I don't think I ever officially blogged about my experience by I had an unknown follower lady start making comments on my posts. She'd write like she was a family member and had known us for years...super creepy. That's why we went private. You do get less traffic that way, which I actually like. Plus I figure, the friends that have a continuing interest in what my family is doing will sign in and check in with us :)
Have to admit that these pictures hurt my heart...I just want to pick your beautiful girls up and give them big squishy hugs and kisses. Got to buy a ticket...
They are simply adorable! Love the cute dresses and coats too!
PS I miss you! And your darling fam!
Your girls are so cute! I love the pictures. I'm glad to hear that claire sleeps like a dream. I still remember when we used to talk about how our baby girls didn't nap...do you remember? Oh, the days when Abigail and Lainey were little. Time goes too fast.
Good luck adjusting to "real" life and not student life anymore. I hope all is well!
Those outfits are so dang cute!! Looks like you guys are doing well!
Your girls are so cute. I love the dresses and coats. We sure miss you guys. Ella always talks about her friend Abby and how she moved far away. She wants to call her on her birthday (not till June though). I hope life settles down. I think the transition to "real life" will be a challenge for me. Student life is sure hard sometimes but it still does have some perks a full time job won't. Miss you guys!
