and that about sums it up!:) took little miss c in for her 4 month (ok..she was 5months by the time we made it in there...3rd child, what can i say??) check-up. she is a whopping 11lbs. 12 oz (sorry...can't remember her height!). that lands her in the 25% percentile!! she is a tiny little thing...gaining steadily, but staying in that margin. healthy as can be...we sure are grateful for our little "sweet and petite" baby girl. so i couldn't resist buying this outift (look closely below) when i found it the other day. just perfect for her! we love our little caroline!

caroline also recently had the pleasure of meeting her two great aunts (my mom's sisters) for the first time: aunt geraldine (on right) and aunt bonnie (on left). these two women have been such a special part of my life. my grandmother passed away when i was in college, and my aunt geraldine and aunt bonnie have been like grandmothers to my sister and i ever since. they stood up as "honorary grandmothers" in my wedding, and are both such amazing women who set an example in both their devotion to their families and to the lord.

we had so much fun visiting with them, and caroline enjoyed being loved on too! thank you both so much for coming to see us!
