Paisley Pearl Makes Her Appearance!!

Our sweet Paisley arrived on January 7th, and our first 2 weeks with her have been wonderful!

One final prego picture on our way to the birth center.... in a 3' doorway for size reference:o)

Brand new baby Paisley. She was 7 lbs, 2 oz and 18.5" long. 

Eight little Browning cousins all in a row!! Guildy (8), Paisley (1 day), Talby (3), Milli (21 mos.), Owen (7), Auggie (2 1/2 mos.), Hadley (6), and Oatus (4).  Zech and Brianne and their kiddos were visiting in Livingston when we were in Bozeman having Paisley, so we got to meet our respective new babies and the big kids got to play a bunch. We love being in Montana, but we sure miss our CA Brownings!!!

A little awake time reading the Bible with Dad.

A much chubbier 2-week-old Paisley and Hadley....in her Dorothy dress:o)

Meeting Uncle Leeroy

Talby loves playing next to the much-coveted heat register next to the stove.

December Highlights

Oh sure, December was quite a long time ago, but I'm in the mood to catch up on pictures, so here we go:o)

December birthday girls in the tub. Talby turned 3 on December 5th and Hadley turned 6 on the 21st. 

Our wonderful landlady Mary Jo invited us out for cookie decorating before Christmas. It was a beautiful snowy day for such Christmas-y activities!

Deep in concentration.....

Early in the project when things were still pretty clean:o)

O wait, not December. October. Halloween, actually. Goldilocks, Dorothy, and an angry Care Bear.

Sledding at Birch Creek with the Weinacht's. Ruthie, Egan, Guildy, Hadley, and Nora. And yes, that is Guildy sledding in a t-shirt. Apparently her inner Norse is stronger than we thought!!

The 3-year-olds, Talbs and Killian.

 

Hadley and Ruth are good buds:o)

Ironically, this December post contains absolutely no Christmas pictures. For Christmas this year, we all got the flu. Nobody had the energy to take pictures, plus nobody wants pictures of droopy, fevered children and their equally sickly parents. We'll try again next year.
