Meeting Bethany!

 We had an adventure with the big sisters around Bethany's arrival. Both girls came down with a rash due to hand foot and mouth disease the week that Bethany arrived. In talking with the pediatrician, he said the best way to keep Bethany well as to keep the girls and her separated. Brent and I knew that probably wouldn't work very well as they were so excited about meeting their baby sister.
 Nana, Brent's Mom,agreed to take the big girls for a few days so they headed to "Camp North Carolina." While we really missed having them at the hospital with us, we knew they had fun in NC and it was what needed to be done until they were feeling better. Thanks to Nana and Papa and the aunts and uncles who helped take care of them last week.
Sunday afternoon, it was finally time for them to come back and meet their baby sister. We were so glad to get them back home and get to introduce them to Bethany Joy!!

 Here are the "Super Sisters." I found these shirts a few months before Bethany's arrival and the smallest size they had was a 12 months for Bethany so hers is more a T-shirt dress but hopefully they will all wear them next summer too!

 Her big sisters finally got to hold Bethany Joy. They are both doing well with her. Rachel likes to hold her and sing to her. Bekah likes to turn on the music in her baby seat for her and sit with me while I hold her and she will tell me if she hears her cry at all "Mommy, Bethany needs you now"

 We are so glad to be back together and we thank Jesus for the blessing of our Family of Five!!
