My Three Little Misses

One month ago
Yesterday
My three little misses
Moved into my home
After being in my heart
And in my prayers
Since the middle of March
And I cannot believe it has been a month already,
And I cannot believe how in love I am with them.
And I cannot help but fall more in love every day.

Introducing Little Miss M

Little Miss M
(aka - Princess M)
The oldest
The first-born
The care-taker
The tease
The silly one
The instigator
The doesn't-miss-a-thing-girl
Is sweet and funny
Sings all of the time
Is always asking to "practice her letters"
And starts Kindergarten...
TOMORROW!

Introducing Little Miss I

Little Miss I
(aka - I Bear)
The middle child
The split-personality toddler
The mover
The storyteller
The doll-lover
The stubborn one
The copy-cat
Is a combination of sugar and spice
Talks all of the time
Is always wanting to do whatever her sister does
And is 3 1/2...
And rides the emotional roller coaster to prove it.

Introducing Little Miss S

Little Miss S
(aka Sweet Baby Girl)
The little, bitty baby
The one I didn't know how I would do with
The one who sleeps next to me - throughout the night :-)
The one who likes me to hold her super close and tight
The one who knows my voice
The one who my heart aches for throughout the day in ways I could have never imagined
Is seriously the best baby I have ever met
Coos all of the time
Is following me with her eyes everywhere I go
And is 12 weeks old on Sunday
And I am baby-hooked.

Yup - That's me!

In the past month
My email inbox has built up
(Which,
If you know me at all,
Is heart-attack inducing for me)
My text messages have gone unanswered
(How rude of me, I know)
My facebook messages have been forgotten
(Out of sight, out of mind)
My kitchen floor hasn't seen the vacuum
(A dog would be in heaven)
My laundry has been constantly humming
(Must add Downy to the grocery list...)
My bottle-washing techniques have been expertized
(Is that even a word?)
My ability to multi-task has been challenged with bottle feeding interruptions
(Try as I might...I cannot do any other jobs when I am feeding a baby)
My receipts at Walmart have tripled in quantity and total
(I truly hate that store, but love their prices and variety)
And my heart has been challenged
And opened
And moved
In new ways
With my three little misses.

Ha!  I wish this was me!  :-)  I got to get me a pair of red boots...and a cape!

The good news is
I am sleeping well
And feeling rested
(Which is a HUGE miracle -
HUGE!
Thank you for your prayers!)

The great news is
My parents were out here for almost two weeks
And during that time I never washed a single bottle
And never had to worry about baby being "un-held"
(Thank you, Mom and Dad!)

The amazing news is
That after 11 years
My sister,
Janelle,
Decided to move out here
And is teaching in my district
And
For now
Is living us with us girls
And this means
And extra pair of hands
And extra set of eyes
And a responsibly body available if I need to run out for a gallon of milk
(The three little misses love their Aunt Janelle!)

The blessed news is
I have started back to my 14th year of teaching
And the girls are all safe
And loved
And loving their new daycares.

Life is Good.  God is Great.  And Diet Pepsi is still my Friend.

PS - 

Little Man

And A-girl

Are doing well

Based on the updates I have received.

There are times when I miss them so much

I think my heart is going to burst

And sometimes my breath is taken away

With how much I am in love with my three little misses

When I am aching for my Littles at the same time.

Trying to continue to trust that 

He is holding them

He is loving them

He is clothing them in His love as He does the sparrows

And the lilies.
