The Fighter's

Hanging with uncle Bobby...these pics are too cute! Ava & Katelyn wore uncle Bobby out with wrestling moves, chasing, constant jumping and jabs. They also loved Uncle Bobby's sidekick Sledge (a Boston Terrior) - he was smart and hid from the girls. Ava & Kate love their Uncle Bobby:-)

And sleeping peacefully...

I just love these pics of the girls (Kate & Olivia). Nothing better than a snuggly sis! It cracks me up...Katelyn loves to lay on this mat with her sis Olivia (even though she is way too big) and Olivia seems to love having her big sis right by her side. Love them! :-)

So during nap time, instead of napping, Kate decided to crawl out of bed and get into the lotions that I should not have left in reach. It didn't even occur to me that she would get into them...bad call mom! I thought she was sleeping. But then while in the laundry room folding clothes, I heard the pitter patter of feet, looked up, and in the distance saw Kate with a brush walking towards me with a huge smile on her face. She was saying "look mommy" and brushing her hair. As she walked closer I noticed that she had globs of white stuff all over her face. Walking towards her I couldn't help but laugh. She had taken lotion and smeared it all over her face and hair...and was so proud of herself for styling her hair. Oh Katelyn. Here is the evidence...

Olivia had her first "real" bath today! Her cord fell off last week and we finally felt the spot was healed enough to throw her in the tub. And she LOVED it! She was so content in that tub...and screamed when we took her out (poor thing!). Her sisters anxiously stood by my side and watched/asked questions...and were SO excited that Olivia was in the bath tub. Here are a few pics!

We headed over to Maqueens with Grandma & Grandpa for a morning of apple picking. There is not a much better way to spend a Saturday morning than with family, coffee, apple picking outside and donuts (they have the best donuts in the whole wide world!). The girls had an absolute blast. I think this may be one of my favorite things to do with the girls and Doug.

Here are some pics of our sweet girls. I pray that their love and friendship grows strong over the years and they will come to know how lucky they are to each have two sisters. I know that I value my friendships with my brothers so very much and pray with all my heart that Ava, Kate & Olivia will realize the same blessing. We love our girls so, so, so much!

Announcing Olivia Ann Fighter! Born September 18, 2009 at 10:37 A.M. 7 pounds, 8 ounces 19.5 inches long More pics to come but here are a few of our new girl! We couldn't be happier!! Everyone is doing well...the girls can't get enough of her...and Doug and I are thankful beyond words!

Here are some pictures of the girls (and grammy) the day before baby's big arrival! Grammy came up today to help out when the new baby arrives! We love our Grammy:-) We spent the day hanging out, mommy finished up work (yay!). My last conference call was at 3pm and now done until December! Then we all went out to eat at Bravo with Grammy, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Rob & Aunt Carly. A celebration dinner for baby to come! Daddy and I were very anxious! We came home after dinner, put the girls to bed and packed. We then went to sleep (or tried to), pending a 4am wake up for 5am induction. How fun! The anticipation is 1 million times more than that you feel for Christmas morning! We just can't wait to meet our new little bundle! Aunt Carly & I the night before induction! Cousins in the oven:-)
