Middle Sister/Little Sister Love

Gabby is enjoying her new "baby"  She likes to be wherever Henley is.  Here we are exercising Henley.  She has torticollis, just like Natalie, and we were working on her neck stretches.

Welcome Henley Grace

Henley Grace Frank arrived into this world on August 2, 2011 at 1225 pm.  She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs and was 20.3 inches tall. She was by far the BIGGEST of my 3 girls.  She has a head of dark hair and seems to be a mixture of her sisters.  She was born full term, also a first for my kiddos.  Labor was smooth easy and I was able to deliver her naturally with no epidural.  Ricks Mom and my mom were in town and were able to take care of the girls while Rick and I were at the hospital.  This is opposite from last year when I was laboring alone and Rick walked in right when I had to start pushing.  This time he was with me from the start, making the experience so much more enjoyable.  Overall, it was a great experience and even better considering she is our LAST BABY!! :)  

3rd times the charm :)

Not happy

Sisterly love

She couldn't get enough of her.

The tornado Gabby wouldnt sit still for a picture.

There she goes, but she has to give me kisses first! :)

Natalie was loving this.  Gabby looks a little perplexed.

Rainy Days

It is Monsoon season, and this year it is bad.  The last two summers it was rainy, but nothing like the last month. We have had more rain than sun.  It has rained for the last 2 weeks except for 1 day.  Last night it stopped raining in the evening and we took the opportunity to walk to the PX just to let the girls run off some energy.  With all this rain, there really isn't any place to go.  What I would give for a local mall or a Chuck-E-Cheese just to keep them entertained. Therefore, we are going a little stir crazy and the girls are coming up with new ways to play.

Playing with the Fisher Price House.

Dress up is a norm around here.  Who doesn't love a pair of cute princesses.

Tae Kwon Do Competition

Last weekend, Rick took Natalie to her Tae Kwon Do competition while I stayed back with a sick Gabby.  Last year I had the honor of taking Natalie while Rick worked, so it was time for a trade.  She was competing this year as a Black Belt which meant she had to spar.  Because they only spar starting at age 8, Natalie had to spar in the age bracket up. My little 6 yr old was fighting 8 yr olds!  She did really well though!

Getting ready to spar

Taking a serious hit from the girl in blue.  She was fighting in the 8 yr old age bracket.  

Tough Girl.

Proud Papa and his princess.

Ready to do her forms.

Go Nat Go

She tied for 3rd with Deacon!!!

Playing with some of the korean kids they met.  All these kids are 1st Degree black belts, but in Korea if you are under 14 your belt is red/black striped.

With her certificates and medals.

Proudly showing her medals off!! :

Nursery

Some quick pictures of the nursery taken a month ago.  Everything is finally in its final place.
