Wow, if you are still with me after reading the last post I bet you could really use something uplifting. Something cheerful and loving and, well, this.......
(Piper is turning out to be the sensitive one of the bunch, as well as the one you'd least expect to be sensitive. Last night for movie night we were watching "What a Girl Wants" and during a scene where the teenage girl and her mom are driving away from her dad she sat there crying and was so upset. It was tender and heartbreaking to see her so touched by a movie. Who would have thought? After Nate reassured her that there was a happy ending and that it was all make-believe she seemed to calm down a bit, but I sure am going to have to be more mindful of what we watch. Sometimes with all the running and screaming and jumping around she does I forget to recognize her sweet little spirit inside all that commotion.)
We took the girls out last week to try and get some Christmas photos, this of course is one of those "in between" shots I love so much. As I sat here looking through the "roll of film" I have decided we need to do this again. The girls coordinating outfits totally get lost with the white door, which on its own is fantastic. Also, Nate is wonderful and tries to get them to smile but next time he's gotta stand directly behind me, otherwise we get shots like this one below.
Hey, Winnie was looking at her momma!
In other Campbell news, one of our chickens is finally laying some delicious yard eggs! After a week long mystery of who it is Charly solved the case this afternoon when she found a warm egg and a suspicious looking chicken coming out of the coop. The laying chicken is GILFIE!!! Go Gilfie!
Also, and way more important than a laying chick...Winnie took her first steps yesterday! She is up to two as of today! Can not believe our baby is learning to walk!!
PS After re-reading my previous post I all of the sudden feel like everything is going to be OK. I guess writing it down and seeing it in print was a good release for me.
Writing. Therapeutic? Imagine that.

Suh-weet photos, Renee!
Meant to add I am glad you are feeling better after writing your thoughts and feelings.
Do your girls not do the egg song? Seems like nearly all of ours do it before they lay, especially when they were just starting to lay. It's kind of like a "what they heck do I have to do?!" LOL. We got 9 eggs the other day, even in the winter! And, I have one that gives me a double yolker every few days. Poor baby- those eggs are huge!!
We think that nearly everyone is laying now, so yay!
