Though she looks vivacious and outgoing in these pictures, don't be fooled. We were tickling our little dumpling to get these beautiful, big smiles. Our Mackenzie is actually a quiet baby, content to observe the noise around her most of the time. {And, believe me, there is
plenty of noise to observe in her little world with four siblings!}
Can I just say how much I love this girl? Maybe it comes with being a more experienced mom each successive time, but I am finding
so much pleasure in caring for a baby again. I now no longer worry (as much) about what her cries mean, what comes next in her schedule, what to do when she is sick, etc... Even my bigger kids are amazing with having a baby sister and are quite competent in their baby care skills too.
And her Daddy? Oooooh.... her Daddy! The only thing better to a grown man than a little girl to call his daughter... is having
two little girls to call his daughters!
Our home is such a happy home.... noisy, messy, and happy.
I would have it no other way.

ReplyDeleteJolene, she's just beautiful. Love those smiles, even if they were forced. And yes, sometimes a quiet baby is a true blessing. :) God knows exactly what we need, right? You kiddos are so sweet and have grown so much! Thanks for the update.
ReplyDeleteOh Jolene!!!! You are BLESSED!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for the update. I have been thinking about you and wondered how you were.
ReplyDeleteYour children are so beautiful, each one; you are truly blessed! Please let your husband know, I REALLY enjoy hearing his Focus on Missions every day.
ReplyDeleteWell this was a blessing I wasn't expecting how beautiful they are and the baby is so precious;

ReplyDeleteShe is beautiful Jolene! Our cutie (which I plan to post pictures of today) is now 8 months old and the "Mr. Command" in him is very evident; but I am so in love with him too!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the pictures of your beautiful family, Mrs. Sloan!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful and precious family. God bless you!
ReplyDeleteI love the part about "happy, noisy and messy" That is so true when you have multiple children. It's a challenge for me not to be caught up with cleaning and bustling about, but rather to take time and enjoy my little "mess makers".
ReplyDeletePraying for you guys!
She is absolutely adorable! You are truly blessed!!! Motherhood just gets more and more wonderful.... I can still say
ReplyDeletethat truthfully, even though it has been a difficult week of school. I would not trade my life for anything. I sit on the porch with my hand on my belly, enjoying watching the kids on the trampoline and feeling the sweet, little life in me doing rolls and kicks, my heart is just overflowing with thankfulness!
Hi Jolene. Haven't seen you in a long time, but think of you and your precious family often. Praying the Lord will bless you and David as you faithfully serve Him. Dottie Lancaster

ReplyDeleteDear our Sloans we are SO GLAD to see your Easter photos! But we just can't belive Micah is so tall now! And baby girl is just a little wonder. We miss you so much! I tried to find you in Skype but I couldn't. Maybe you could find and send me a call. We hope to talk to you. We send our love to you, Davey, Nate, Micah and your two ladies.
