Our Oldest, literally

 Grace and the rest of Kindergarten dressed like they were 100 years old for the 100th day of school!

What Three Months x4 Looks Like

It's fun to compare photos of the Deterding girls taken at the same age.  Each time we add a new baby to the mix, we get opposite comments from people.  Some say, "she looks exactly like her sisters!"  Others say, "she looks exactly like [one of her sisters]".  And then we'll get the comment, "she doesn't look anything like her sisters!"

I see a family resemblance here and there, but if you look at all the girls at three months of age...well, they all look very different to me!  All adorable, but different:

November

If anyone is still checking in here, thanks for coming back after a couple of months with no posts! I figured out how to continue posting photos here and wanted to share what's been going on in the last several weeks...beginning with November. Here is Jane, or "Janie Junie" as Grace has dubbed her, as a newborn. Grace is our official nick-namer around here.

    

Leah dressed as a Native American named "Loving Dove" for her school's Thanksgiving Chapel.  I think the name suits her!



Avery "Smudge" looking cute in her jammies.



Grace holding Jane.  She loves being a big sister that is old enough to hold a baby on her own:



November was a busy month of getting used to having four kids to care for and adjusting to having two kids in school for at least part of the day.  We enjoyed Thanksgiving with both sides of the family and even managed to get a family photograph for our Christmas card!

 


Not without some outtakes, though...

 

Keep up with the latest~

Until we decide what to do about Blogger (see post below), you can keep up with us on my other blogs:

Project 366 in 2012 (which I will try to keep up to date)

*This just in...there are some photos of Jane at 4 weeks modeling the gifts Matt and Rachel sent her.  Check out the HGP blog!*

I'll keep writing here, but let's face it:  posts are just better when there are pictures.

Oh no...

Blogger just informed me that I am out of storage space for photos.  No more posting photos on this blog.  We are exploring our options, which include paying for more photo storage or beginning another blog... stay tuned!
