The Holden Family: May 2014
http://benandemilyholden.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Thursday, May 29, 2014. We are at 28 weeks and had an ultrasound this week. The girls came with me and my mom is in town and she was able to join us too for the first time in all my pregnancies! Baby Girl looked great! Her heart and lungs were great and she is measuring about 2 1/4 pounds. All the doctors and nurses were very impressed at my weight and her size considering my condition and said she is sounding perfect and looking great! My mom thinks she looks like Quinn!

The Holden Family: June 2015

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Wednesday, June 10, 2015. May was another busy month! We celebrated Mother's Day, Mia turned 9 months, Ellie graduated from Cubbies, we finished BSF, we went to visit my family in Tennessee (which I will post about separately) and we continued to settle in and explore new places and meet new friends. Since it is cold many months of the year there are tons of indoor activities. We met our friend Newton at this indoor playground one cold day. Ellie and Newton jumping.

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. June was a month full of new adventures. We are really trying to get out and explore our new city and the surrounding areas. Our first adventure was to Minnehaha Falls. We had a picnic, explored the paths by the creek, waded in the creek, saw the waterfall and did some bike riding. These girls loved every minute of riding while Mom and Dad pedaled. It was hard work and having Mia strapped to me really gave me a work out! We love the zoo! Finished ...

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Thursday, October 30, 2014. Life With Two Older Sisters. She tolerates life with two older sisters very well.

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Monday, April 28, 2014. While the Girls Eat Dough! What Quinny does while I decorate! What Ellie does while I decorate! Daddy got one too, but not one for Mommy this year since she is growing a baby! There was so much excitement, so most of the pictures had blurs. We gave them minimal candy, but they did not mind at all! You have to wear caterpillar rain boots when you hunt eggs, right? Our Easter Pictures with the Girls. Ben and Emily Holden.

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Wednesday, April 15, 2015. My Sweet Grandparents (They were celebrating my grandmother's 80th birthday! This was a couple weeks before Ellie was born! They were a couple of such humor and wit as well as love! Their joy for life and their one liners could make anyone laugh at any time! Though there for a sad reason, Mia did get to her PopPop, also known as the baby whisperer! And we got to meet our new cousin Baby Cooper! These two are definitely related! All smiles as Mi...

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Thursday, May 7, 2015. We have moved into our new home! That was a non-negotiable for us! We wanted a play space for the girls and this basement provides that. We also have a great kitchen with an island! Ellie and I were looking forward to that! The Foyer. It is a two story foyer that when you enter to the left is Ben's office, which you see in the pic and to the right you see the dining room and the kitchen and entrance to the basement is down that little hall. Through...

Ben, Emily, Ellie, Quinn and Mia. Sunday, September 28, 2014. Fun in the Sun. Last week we went on our annual beach trip. Ben was done with work and it was the first time we have gone when he didn't have school. Ellie loved every minute of the sand and the ocean! Here are a few pictures from my camera, with more to follow from my phone later on! My view of Sweet Mia in the Bjourn. As soon as we got there and unpacked we headed to the beach to go for a walk and gather some shells! First Day on the Beach.
