Then she (Emily) decided to put on her Princess dress up clothes, complete with wand and tiarra and give us a royal fashion show. Her male 'cousins' automatically became her servants and beckoned to her every wish. Then it struck me again. They will probably do the same type thing for Haley at that age, and similar types of things before then. She (being the only girl) is going to be spoiled by her cousins and brothers.
It was just a nice gentle wake-up call for me or maybe better said as a small glimpse into the future for being a father to a little girl. Not that it worries me, there weren't any instruction manuals that came with the boys either, so we will just wing it as ususal.
Anyway, we all had fun today. Here are some pics.
*****I bet I beat Sara to the punch in posting these pics*******
Look at all the pink!
They've gotta hold me back!
What party would be complete without a feather boa?
Hmmm.....Where to start?
I'm supposed to do WHAT!!!?
No problem knowing what to do here!
Hey sis, you make that look easy!
The princess has blessed you with her presence.
The 2 pregnant ones. They're only about a week apart on due dates.
Bellies full o' babies!

WOW.... Lisa looks preggie HUGE in that picture. I saw her the other day and she didn't seem to look that pregnant. Maybe it's the dress. And don't worry about the girl thing. Remember, I had no clue at all what to do with a girl either, seriously what female influence have I ever had in my life really? Although Sammy's a bit of a tomboy (ok a lot of a tomboy) I think she's turning out ok. I know it has a lot to do with having two older brothers, vs. being the oldest girl with younger brothers. Plus she'll have Lisa, your Mom, and Sara... of course there's not a WHOLE lot of delicate feminism there either I guess..... LOL. You'll be fine. Girls can do anything boys can do except pee out a campfire.
I loved all the pictures! Thanks so much for taking them. We didn't seem to have the time to take many at all, so we will treasure those. I enjoyed your perspective on having a girl. It made me think about the changes your family has in store. I'm looking forward to seeing this all take place! I bet Jen is right though. Having two older brothers will have an effect on your little girl. Our situation is a little reversed. So far Emily is definitely a "girly girl". She has not put that dress down yet that you all got her. Two days now she has had to wear it!! LOL.
