I cannot believe that 8 months have gone by since my darling girls have been born. I already wish I could start over and do it all again, just to have more time with them. I wanted to post some pictures of them at 8 months:
All three sisters together.
And this is Ellyanna. Our first born daughter by only seconds! She was born the smallest at 3.14 lbs but has surpassed both of her sisters at last weigh in at a whopping 18 pounds! I chose this picture of her because for the last several days every time you look at her she gets this cheesy smile that completely melts my heart. Ellyanna is going to be our girly princess, I think. I believe that Ellyanna will be a leader. She takes life seriously and wants to do it right. If any one of the girls struggle with perfectionism, it will be her.
And here’s Adelynn. Adelynn’s biggest thing to overcome in her personality is the tendency to be shy. I think she is going to be sensitive and caring about others. But she is also going to be stubborn and passionate as well. She really seems to be able to see into people’s hearts even at this young age and I think she will have this ability as she grows as well. I think she will be a defender of the defenseless and helper of the helpless. I also think that once she starts talking, we will never be able to get her to stop.
And then there is Kynden. Kynden was appropriately given the middle name Joy at birth. She is full of so much Joy all the time. I believe she is going to have a happy-go-lucky outlook on life. I think she will play sports, games and will give her brothers a run for their money. She will be fun-spirited, but competitive. She will be quick to love and slow to judge. She will be outgoing and probably have a lot of friends.
So here is all my girls. How I adore them and have been so blessed! Thank you, God for the awesome responsibility and opportunity to raise 3 of your children. Please help me raise them up in grace, faith and joy (their middle names), help them grow in beauty as much on the inside as the outside, and to be faithful lovers of You.

Soooooo, super, cute! You must tell though……WHO’S WHO????? I was refering to the in-a-row picture.
