We will call this the McCann "what are you talking about?" look. Found these startled pictures of all the girls. If you can't tell they go from youngest to oldest, starting with Mary Neal and ending with Lucy. Love seeing how different and yet similar they all look. </div>

Its not often that I think to jump in the picture with my kids. But after reading <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/allison-tate/mom-pictures-with-kids_b_1926073.html">this blog</a> on taking pictures with your kids, I realized this is definitely something I want to make a habit of. On this particular Sunday we all ended up in red without even realizing it, so of course it was picture worthy. I love my little ladies and all their different personalities. </div>

It was a great Christmas with family. We came home for a few more days of vacation together as a family but it ended up just being a few sick days for all of us.

Sean thinks MN looks like Anna when she smiles. And I think she is going to have similar facial characteristics as Ellie, blue eyes and dark curly hair. So there you have it, really they all look alike in some way.</div>

Mary Neal also enjoyed the birthday celebrations because for her it meant extra love time with lots of family. She especially enjoyed meeting her Aunt KK and having lots of cuddle time with her.</div>

Sisters are so anxious to get their hands on you and want to hold you every chance they get. Although one might notice there is not a picture of Anna holding Mary Neal, because if I took my eyes off of her to go grab my camera the baby might be smothered to death. Anna is pretty much obsessed with "Baby Mary Neal" as she calls you, wanting to know where you are at all times and always wanting to be right beside you touching you in some way :)</div>

It is fun this time around to see Ellie as a big sister, she is extra gentle with you and loves to comfort you when you are upset or crying.<br />

Although crying is not something you do often Mary Neal. In general you are such a easy going, content, and peaceful baby. You sleep beautifully all swaddled up and at nights go about 6-7 hours without waking. You eat like a champ and also have learned to eat fast, which is great help when there are 3 other kids running around needing attention.<br />

I love this picture because Ellie put on daddy's hat to make you smile, and the other day she made crazy faces at you to try to make you laugh. Oh how you will grow up being entertained MN.<br />

Well we survived another crazy birthday week for the McCann girls so I thought I would highlight some of my favorite things about this super fun week in our house. <br />
<br />
It began with a visit from Aunt KK which we all loved! She joined us for Anna's favorite birthday meal which this year was hamburgers and hotdogs on the grill. This girl loves hotdogs and actually ate 3 hotdogs on this particular night. As you can see from the picture she loved being the center of attention and still on a daily basis says "Happy Birthday ME" to get a good laugh out of all of us. She was convinced for about 2 days that she was 3 1/2 but now is finally settling on the fact that she is 2, and boy does her attitude match that age!<br />

Next up came sweet Lucy. We began the celebration the night before with a taco dinner of her choice and had Gannie in town to join in the festivities. Then on her birthday day I got to go to school to have lunch with her and participate in her classroom, reading a story to everyone. As a 6 year old she feels so old to us, especially since she lost her first tooth just a few days after turning 6. </div>

The weekend after Anna and Lucy's birthday we had a few friends over to help celebrate our special girls. Here we are singing to the girls all lined up with their cupcakes.<br />

These are some of Anna's little friends. It is a little tricky having a party for all 3 girls at once but I try to just invite a few friends of each of the girl's ages and then it is just one chaotic fun play date.<br />

This was an exciting game of musical chairs, which turns out to be much too complicated of a game for ages 6 and under.<br />

You can't really tell from this picture but each girl had cookies with their ages, and picked out their own cupcake flavor. The purple ones pictured here were Ellie's choice. The theme of the party was Doc McStuffins a favorite show around our house these days.<br />

Last but not least came sweet Ellie. To be honest we are usually all birthday out by the time it gets to Ellie but this year we kept up the momentum by going to the zoo the day before since Lucy had a day off of school. It was fun to go the zoo as a family and it help keep us in the celebration mindset. Ellie's choice dinner was spaghetti and meatballs and we saved the gifts that Aunt Curly sent in the mail to open then, making it extra fun. </div>

And just for fun I will post the cute poem my very talented husband wrote for their birthdays. This has turned out to be a McCann tradition now and something the girls look forward to hearing what their daddy wrote about them.<br />

I have loved having this special time in the hospital right now to bond with this little girl. And although I am SO ready to go home, I know that with that comes the craziness of 4 kids so here are some fun things I want to remember about your first few days of life Mary Neal.</div>

Your nicknames so far are: M&M (one that I hope stays with you for the rest of your life), Peanut (because you are the size of a peanut m&m), and Anna (whoops thats not a nickname thats just what we call you like 10 times a day).<br />

I think out of all our kids you resemble Lucy the most. You are such a content baby and easy to soothe. You nurse like a champ. And you have the funniest cry which is a high pitch squeal which seems to resemble the sound of a goat.<br />

You haven't really opened up your eyes yet I think you are content to think you are still inside my womb. You have the sweetest little chin and your ears are all squished up and folded over from being inside of me. <br />

We are in love with you little one and so happy you are apart of our family.Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05445461541383396375noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418993.post-71690576078849370122012-09-20T08:13:00.000-05:002012-09-20T08:13:42.909-05:00Welcome Mary Neal Bryan McCannYesterday at 6:01 PM, Lindsey gave birth to our fourth daughter, Mary Neal Bryan McCann. After 48 hours in the hospital for preeclampsia, the doctors finally gave us the green light for surgery. Mary Neal came into the world weighing 9 lbs 8 ounces, 20 1/4 inches. Lindsey has recovered very well and Mary Neal is eating and sleeping like a champ.<br />
<br />

<br />
Like all our girls, Mary Neal's name has great significance. For years Lindsey has been impacted by the simple faith of the young mother Mary in the Bible. Mary showed great obedience as she faithfully received the news from the angel about the coming birth of Jesus. This truth was driven home to us when our pastor preached on Luke 2:19. As the shepherds and the angels came to see the newborn Jesus and told of the sayings they had heard, Mary responded by "treasuring up all these things, pondering them in her heart." We hope that Mary Neal will model this same simple faith as she treasures up the hope of the gospel in her heart.<br />
<br />

<br />
Neal and Bryan are the maiden names of both of her grandmothers. We hope all of our children remember those who have gone before them, and it is a reminder to us all of the great importance of family. We are honored and blessed to have such loving and supportive families.<br />

One final note on having four girls. Folks love to make jokes about how we are in trouble and I am all alone and how we have to save for so many weddings, etc. These jokes are harmless, yet behind all jokes is some level of truth. As a father I just want to say what an amazing privilege, responsibility, and joy it is to have these four little girls. I could not imagine or want a different family. I get to be the first man to love each of them, the first man to take them on a date, and the man to hopefully walk them down the aisle. It is a special and awesome calling that Lindsey and I have been blessed with, and we look forward with eager anticipation to the journey ahead.<br />

Today starts the first day of Kindergarden. She is attending our neighborhood public school and we are very excited for this opportunity to get to know our community around us even more. She has a great teacher Ms. Hurst and has 2 little girls in her class that she already knows from gymnastics and preschool. Praying hard for my little girl this morning as she begins this big adventure.

All that to say I am not ready for all of these changes to occur, so I am going to soak in my time with all 3 of these girls this summer. Even if I am going to be big, uncomfortable, and hot and in the midst of the lack of schedule and sibling quarrels, we are going to find JOY this summer in being together!Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05445461541383396375noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418993.post-73895146936962940882012-05-14T18:02:00.000-05:002012-05-14T18:02:53.047-05:00Sisters!I love watching these girls develop a relationship with one another. Anna can be hard to deal with and a bully sometimes, not quite understanding what it means to share, and yet the older girls are so patient and loving towards her.

On this particular day, Anna got upset about something, and Sean walked into the kitchen and found this. Sweet big sister comforting little sister and both of them loving it.

We recently found out that our 4th child will be another precious daughter. What joy it will be to watch these sisters grow up to maturity. Sure I had days that I fought constantly with my sister growing up but that is not what I remember. What I remember are long talks when one of us was struggling with something, back rubs at night, and giggling over silly shows we put on for our parents. I love that I have the privilege of raising these 4 little girls and watching each of them grow into little women. And what a special man these girls have in their father, Sean, who loves and cares for them, and teaches them how a man is to treat them and love them, while all the time pointing them to their Heavenly Father.Lucyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05445461541383396375noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24418993.post-43266101817933037852012-05-08T13:45:00.000-05:002012-05-08T13:45:18.005-05:00Matching DressesI know the day is coming soon when my girls will HATE matching each other, but for now they love it and think it is the coolest thing ever.

On Thursday night we attended our churches Maundy Thursday service, and then we drove to Appling for the annual Easter Egg hunt. We had a wonderful time there celebrating with family but we were all too busy to take even one picture. And then it was back to our church for Easter morning and over to some dear friends house for lunch afterwards.
Here are some pictures in their front yard.

With 3 kids and the busyness of daily life, most days I am simply in "survival" mode, of getting to where we need to be on time and dressed and ready. We haven't had winter in 3 years because of living overseas, and while I am enjoying the change of season (especially this winter since it is so mild), I have to say hats off to Melissa Hunt and the others of you who live in colder places, because getting 3 children dressed in coats, stockings, gloves/hats, and out the door is a huge success. Okay now I am just rambling. <br /><br />The biggest thing that this January has held was the official ordination service of my dear husband. He has studied for several months now and passed all of his exams back in November, and it was such a joy to have such a special service held as he officially begins his career in ministry as a teaching elder. I am so proud of him and all that he was able to accomplish through the grace of the Lord.
