First Days Home

Our first days home with all three babies have certainly been full. Full of busyness. Full of activity. Full of joy! We are settling into a routine and, though hectic, we're loving every minute of it. Babies are fed and changed on a 4 hour schedule. Our lives are now revolving around 2:00, 6:00, and 10:00. We work together during the awake hours and at night we take turns. I have the 2:00 AM session and can usually get everything done in about an hour and a half. Rob wakes up at 6:00 AM and takes his turn. During the day, my mother-in-law helps me out tremendously with a little bit of everything. She will be here through Memorial Day weekend and we greatly appreciate every minute she is willing to stay! Here are some pics from our first few days as a family of SEVEN. (I seriously never thought I'd be saying that!)

Bringing Drake home!








Our "baby bus" is now complete!



Two very proud big brothers!

First Sunday at church with everyone - Mother's Day. 


We put the babies all in the same crib about half of the time. They seem to love it and it sure is cute!






Griffen and Rhys are BIG helpers.




Wednesday evening we all cheered on Griffen and Rhys at the Awana Awards Ceremony. Both of them did awesome, finishing their entire books, plus the reviews. Griffen even completed the extra credit book, as well. "Thy word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee."  (Psalm 119:11)
