And Baby Makes Three


We are happy to announce the addition of our third little girl to the Payne family this weekend!  She's a doll; is adored by her sisters; and is healthy and perfect.  What more could we ask for?  Well... sleep will be on the list pretty soon, but besides that we're all feeling so blessed.

Eleanor is Half-Way There

We celebrated Eleanor's 9th Birthday this week!  Gavin's been pointing out that this is half-time and we only have another 9 years with her at home.  I don't like it when he says that...The first nine have flown by.  We couldn't have been more blessed with an oldest child than our Eleanor.  I'd say some of her greatest talents are being helpful, empathetic, and super smart!

You can't help but have a good day when it starts with donuts and sprinkles!

 We're excited to see how many books Eleanor can read on her Kindle.  She's saved every single Friend magazine she's gotten since she turned 3.  Now, they can all be in her hand at once!



Bless her heart - she picked ice cream cones for her treat.  I can handle that this week!


Happy 9th Birthday Eleanor!  You're becoming a more beautiful young lady with each passing day. We love you!
