Happy Easter!

The girls were so excited to hunt for eggs! Lizzie was content with one or two eggs, she just wanted to start in on the candy. Tori, on the other hand, wanted to find every egg! It is so fun to watch them change from year to year. Even Owen got an "Easter Bunny present." A bottle and some pacifiers would make any four week old happy, right?

Aren't we festive in our spring colors? The girls looked so pretty in their new dresses, and "O Man" couldn't have been more handsome! I was just impressed that nobody had any huge stains on their clothes by this point...after all, we had been dressed for almost four hours! :)

Family Pictures

You gotta love trying to wrangle 11 kids all under the age of 8 for a family picture! It was chaos, but that is the reality as the Whitmill clan continues to grow. Even though none of the grandbabies carry on the name, Nana and Papa take a lot of pride in these little ones. Aren't we a handsome bunch?

We also got some with just our little family. The girls weren't very cooperative, but at least we tried.

Blessing Day!

Our happy family!

"Big O" in his blessing outfit!

Owen and Makenna on their special day!

Ok, so it has been a week already, but I didn't have any good pictures to post. This has been an eventful week for our little family, soI will have to post several times this week--bear with me.

We blessed Owen on March 16 with cousin Makenna (who is only 7 weeks older). There were so many people there it was amazing. Other than Daddy being sick all morning, and Owen screaming through most of the blessing, it was a truly beautiful event. Thank you to all who came!

This is the whole hug group! So much chaos, and so much fun!

Owen and Mommy with Makenna and Mandi (wow, that's a lot of M's).

One month already?!?

Wow! Time goes by so fast! I can't believe that my little man is a month old today! He started waking up only once a night, then decided that 3 or more wake up calls for food suited him better...what a bum! We love him anyway and he is doing really well.

Aunt Manda came over yesterday to take some pictures. I need some way to remember him as such a little guy...it just doesn't last. Thanks for the beautiful pics Manda!

Pretty Princess

We finally got Tori's birthday portraits taken. She is such a beauty! We are waiting til Aunt Manda gets here so that we can get pictures of the whole family, but this is a birthday tradition!

2 Weeks!

Owen in his normal state--very much asleep!
WOW! Time really flies! I can't believe that my little man is already two weeks old! He looks totally different than he did a couple of weeks ago (at least to me). He is super lazy and up until about 36 hours ago we pretty much never saw him awake. All of a sudden he started waking up and of course most of his waking time is at night. We are used to the night wakefulness, but with the girls it started a lot earlier. This little guy has been very sleepy. Well, that's our guy at this point. Enjoy the pics!

Owen finally getting some tummy time!

Once again, asleep!

I've been tagged!

Ang tagged me, so here it is all. Boring as it may be, it is my life....

2. How long have you been married? Six years!
3. How long did you date? Hmmm....how to answer. We met in December of 1998, we started dating in February of 1999 and got married in February 2002...so how long did we date? Well, it depends, does it still count if you aren't actually living in the same country?
4. Who eats more sweets? It depends on what kind of sweets. He can DOWN the baked goods--anything else and I win.
