adventures of the miebs family: i miss you.

my lack of communication has not been on purpose. i've wanted to share baby tess with all of you fine people! really! i dearly miss blogging. maybe it comes as a surprise, but i blog (write) for me first. it's nice to get these thoughts outta my head. i re-read later, and it allows me to process it all clearly. anyway, i just haven't had a free moment.

was i that ignorant to think i'd have time once baby 3 arrived?!

baby tess likes to be held. all. the. time. she sleeps with me. i'm sole feeder. you can imagine (or maybe you really can't!) that blogging just has to fall by the wayside... along with dishes, cleaning, eating, laundry and anything else that isn't tess! man! my difficult (or rather, my high-needs) baby couldn't have been first? had to have been last, when i already have 2 other demanding small humans?

all i keep thinking is thank goodness for grandmas. ben and i have truly been blessed with willing mothers to hold baby 3 and watch older ~~crazies~~ siblings. can't thank them enough. i'm still so very thankful and humbled by their generosity and continual support.

i probably have 2 dozens blogs circulating in my head... will i ever get to them? hmmm... right now? not likely. and, because she's like a ticking time bomb to when she'll start crying, i better not waste any seconds; that swing only pacifies for so long! so, here are some pictures highlighting all that has been happening over at team miebs' quarter for the past 6 weeks. 6 weeks!

we are so in love with baby tess. we had a rough few couple of weeks, and she's still trying to figure this life thing out, but i think we're making progress. (less tears, all around!) we've had a lot of firsts - first hikes, first time snuggling with family, first holiday, first photo shoot, first bath...

enjoy.
