Pictures

Life has been good here without any help during the day. Mom didn't stay after she brought the kids home. My brother came and got her the next day.

We've got into a pretty good routine for most days. The girls have been doing pre K and are doing great with writing and they love their computer work. Kaylee loves to draw and thinks she writes the letter E all the time as she shouts it out, "EEEEEE." Lydia still sleeps all the time. She's starting to smile after she wakes up and looks at whoever is staring her in the face.

Lydia is getting to be quiet the little chunky baby. She's getting more rolls on her all the time now. I think she's close to 11 1/2 lbs. She's such a good baby and doesn't cry, only when she's starving, so she thinks. I'm up a lot during the night, but occasionally, I'll get 4 hours of sleep in. She loves her sisters and doesn't fuss when they want to hold her. She's extremely happy in Emma's arms.

Kaylee loves the baby too and does very well with her. Anytime the baby does fuss, Kaylee comes running to me screaming, "Eeeeee (eat)!" I'll ask Kaylee, "Who needs to eat?" She'll yell at me, "Lay lay!" Yes, Lay lay is the baby's name to Kaylee. Another one of Kaylee's favorite things to help out with the baby is to grab the pacifier, hold it out to me and yell, "FIRE!" It's comical around here and enjoyable most of the time.

The girls love to help cook now. They help with breakfast most of the time and some days they help with dinner. Here's a picture of them helping their dad make us all egg sandwiches.


Here's some other pictures we took. We were going to try and get a family picture in, but a hungry baby and a sleepy 21 month old didn't make for a successful day. We just had to take what we could get.
