My little Anibella reaches her adorable little arms up to me when she wants to be held! Then she looks at me with.......
her sweet hopeful little eyes! I mean really.......who can resist? She is just precious!
This is baby multi-tasking at it's very best! Anibella is sucking on her fingers, trying to blow raspberries, sitting up & holding her foot ALL at the SAME TIME! : ) That's quite an accomplishment for a little 6 month old!
My little Ava found a pink "hawt bead"! It was the highlight of her necklace making activity today!
My little Abby was very focused on sliding her beads onto the string!
My little Ashley was working hard & sweetly tried to not be bothered by Mommy taking pictures!
My sweet happy Anibella!
My little Amy was intently working on her necklace!
This is what happens when you tell a toddler to "look up" for a picture! I love how literal 2 year olds are! Ha!
I love my smiley boo!
This is when Ava first found her special heart bead! I love how excited she is about it!
Abby surprised Mommy with a gorgeous new bracelet! SO sweet!
Ashley made me a beautiful "gold" necklace since, "You can't afford a real one! Do you love it Mommy?"! SO sweet & OF COURSE I DO Baby! : )
Amy led the Sissy team in making jewelry for Mommy! SO sweet & such an amazing example to her little sisters!
I just can't resist these pictures of my littlest Princess!
I love Ava's joy over her little pink heart! If you look closely you can see her two bottom little eye teeth coming in! Precious!
My Abby with her sweet creation!
My Ashley with her sweet creation!
My Amy with her sweet creation!These are my "11:05 project" pictures. A while ago I wrote a post about taking more spontaneous pictures of my girls without making sure they look "just so". I love having pictures of them playing & just being little girls! Mostly, I started this little project as a way to mortify my selfish ambition (pride) & the desire to be perceived as always having it "together" (more pride & fear of man). I obviously never have it together & it's sad to think that I really care about those things but, if I'm being completely honest, in my heart, unfortunately those things matter to me way more than they should! I need God's grace in these areas! So, as I'm "putting off" these sins of pride, selfish ambition, fear of man & many others, I thought that posting pictures of my sweet girlies would be a fun way of "putting on" humility & selflessness! Besides, I just REALLY love my 5 little girls & it makes me happy to see pictures of them! Amy, Ashley, Abby & Ava were making bead necklaces (for Mommy : ) !) this morning when I took these pictures & my little Anibella was sitting up playing so sweetly & contentedly on her blankie with her toys! I am one very blessed Mama!

Oh Erin honey. I know you don't have it all together. I don't either! But I've been known to crap icky stuff out of my pictures (garbage cans, sofa with backpacks on it, dog peeing in the background) in order to make nicer shots to share. I'm glad I'm not the only one to do so!
Thank you for your humility, I love you and your family.
I know what you mean, actually my daughter has encouraged me to put photos of my food flops on my blog to encourage others and I did that just this morning! I entered a Bakers Challenge and it did not come out very pretty but I thought that I needed to show the good bad and the ugly!Miss you guys!
