and then there was Astrid...

Our world would never be the same again.  

#3.  The end of the line.  God's perfect design.  Our family complete.  

baby on board

Here we are 13 days before her arrival.  I really meant to take some better pictures while pregnant, but it just didn't happen.  Amazing to think of who was inside of that big bump!

preparations

It took me an entire afternoon to reassemble this baby carseat and get it installed in my car.  Totally ridiculous.  I wasn't planning on leaving it in, but the task was so hard it is now staying in for life.  Getting ready for 3 deep in the backseat.  

mother's day

I was treated to an entire weekend of Mother's Day festivities by these boys and their daddy.  It was pretty good spoilage.  We also had Mother's Day tea at school.  The mommies were asked to wear hats and bring tea cups.  We used Gramma Dorothy's cups and saucers for the special party.  

girl stuff

Checking out his sister's loot.  "Mommy?  How do they put on tutus?"

It's a whole new world of pink around here.
